Ordering special fabrics from around the globe that had me laughing, why not just wrap it in cashmere. Lets face it gadgets are going to get scratches, dents, finger prints, and dirty, it shows that we're using them. I could understand wanting to protect your purchase but thankfully the Mini-9 is sturdy, and even a binder or any size backpack will do.

My case from hong kong cost less than your fivestar...

The point of something that fits it is to prevent physical damage. Loose in a backpack is no way for a computer to travel.

I don't pay 400-600 dollars for something and then act like it's ok for it to get DENTED. Scratches, I try to avoid them, fingerprints and dirt of course is unavoidable.

I'm sure you guys will love this one, it's the case from an Asus Eee PC 4G, along with a very small backpack that I found at Goodwill:

Okay, my Dell Mini 9 is still on order, but I had to carry a few items with me all day today. I was impressed how well it was designed, and how well it was made. I got caught in a light rain and the contents of the bag, a book iPod Touch, headphones, and snack bar kept dry.

Of course I will put this bag in full use, as God intended ASAP when my the Ubuntu Dell finally arrives towards the end of the month. IMHO the bag is well worth the money. I sure could have used the Mini 9 today as accompanied the spouse through what seemed miles of hallways.

I did the deal to. Any idea how the top cover stays put when you open it? Check their WWW site it also has a place inside to stash some paper. There also seemed to be a new model with a small, flush, grab handle on a beige color with contrasting black(handle).

I picked up one of these Belkin neoprene things. It says it's for 7" laptops but it fits the Mini perfectly.

I got the Timbuk2 sleeve from Dell and then I got this:

the top is a little snug, but not bad.

It fits the Mini with the sleeve on + my portable iomega drive + cables/power.... = awesomeness.

It fits perfect. almost like it was made for it.

I don't have my mini yet, but I got one of these from radio shack on the way home. It was on clearance for $7.49 at my store. Nice little bag, wish I had the mini to put in it!

What is funny even knowing the specs of the system i was shocked at small the case was....
