Recent trends indicate that many netbook manufacturers are pushing the boundary of netbook sizes beyond the 10-inch definition and are releasing 11.6-inch netbooks. More screen real estate may appeal to some buyers, but a larger screen means a bigger netbook base or case.
You definitely want a carrying case for your netbook as they are essential in maintaining the reliability and longevity of your machine.
Netbook bags and cases come in a variety of designs and colors. Some are purely utilitarian, others aim to protect your computer in style. The type of bags or cases you need depends entirely on your needs and how you intent to use it.
Bags and cases can be made of numerous different types of materials ranging from hard and durable plastics, to nylons and polyesters. The nylon ones are cheaper but are usually thinner and don’t offer as much protection. Netbook bags can also come in many numerous types of leather from rawhide to alligator depending on what an individual is prepared to spend.
The leather cases I’ve seen are thicker and actually end up weighing a few pounds. You may not want a leather case if you’ve spent lots of cash to make sure your laptop weighs only three pounds. If you don’t like leather, there’s always faux leather that can take a beating just as well.
