Notebook Sleeve - netbook, notebook sleeve

I already have and very much like a slightly-larger version of this for my Dell Latitude D620 computer at work, so this was an easy purchase decision. My Eee PC 1000 already came with a similar neoprene case, but a big too big for the computer alone, yet not big enough to also hold the AC adapter and a mouse, plus no way to keep them from scratching the computer if I'd jammed them all in together.



The Caselogic LNEO-10 is just enough smaller to properly fit the 1000, with a separate zipped compartment that can accomodate both the AC adapter and a mouse. Though the result looks a bit lumpy, it works well. I also very much like the handles on the LNEO-10. They are comfortable in use, and easily fold out of the way when not in use. Case Logic LNEO-10 Ultraportable Neoprene Notebook/iPad Sleeve Fits 7 to 10.2-Inch Tablets (Black)

I picked up one of these cases for my EEE PC 1000h and it fits pretty close to perfectly. The pocket on the side is big enough to hold the power adapter and a mouse. The top handles are more useful than I would have thought, since I intended to mostly carry this case inside a messenger-style bag, but I've found it quite handy to just carry the computer in just this case. The case seems reasonably well padded, probably not enough to protect a laptop from a serious drop but enough to protect it from the occasional bump. The only thing I could ask for would be for a pocket on the other side. I'm pretty satisfied with this case.

I like the design, it's a pretty tiny case. I bought it following a recomendation for my Lenovo S10 that looks awesome in white color. So what I can not accept at first, is that the red cover inside the sleeve stains the charguer and cables that ARE WHITE. CASE LOGIC MUST HAVE TO CORRECT THIS SITUATION.



If you have a black or dark netbook you'll never realize about the stains, but what if you put a document inside?

I did not notice the external pocket when I made my purchase. I was surprised to see it.



EEE 1000 fits inside the main compartment well and the power adapter fits inside the other pocket. It is not as smooth and flat when the power adapter is put in the pocket, but it is convenient for grabbing everything as one set.

The Samsung NC10 fits nicely. Not a snug fit by any means, but close enough to keep it from flopping around in the case. The external pocket holds the NC10 power supply, Bluetooth mouse and has room left for two extra batteries, a small USB router and a couple of very small items like a flash drive. The pocket will be misshapen and lumpy, but all your stuff will be in one place.



The carrying handles are soft and easy to hold.



Overall construction is typical Caselogic: very well made.



I have one small lament: no loops for a shoulder strap. My opinion is that all carrying bags should have loops o shoulder straps.



Other than that small item (and it is indeed a lament, not a complaint), the Caselogic LNEO-10 Ultra-Portable Neoprene Notebook Sleeve is an inexpensive, durable and expandable way to carry and protect your netbook.

After trying out several different cases/sleeves for my Toshiba NB205 and being disappointed with each, I stumbled upon this Case Logic Notebook sleeve. It has been an exceptional choice in that it stretches nicely and so will easily accommodate the 6-cell battery which extends out from the back of my netbook. The pocket on the front on the bag is just large enough to squeeze in a mouse and the charging cord for my computer, although it is very "lumpy" when everything is zipped in. It definitely helps to wind up the cord prior to storing it.



One of the nicest features of the bag is the handle. It is a well-built double handle that offers a secure way to carry the computer. This case would be perfect for any of the 10.1" netbooks.

This sleeve is superior to most because:

1) It is made by Caselogic (they make excellent accessories for computer items such as flash drives, memory cards, CD books and so much more. I have owned their product for several years and they are of superb quality. Hence I bought this and am delighted.

2) The outside pocket is a very big reason I bought this case and it holds: My mini retractable mouse, small mouse pad, and a small pouch with my flash drives.

Note that the power cord is somewhat bulky inside this sleeve, however, I fixed this problem by slipping my sleeve inside my ziptop briefcase and place the power cord inside the inside inner pocket. Then I am all set to go!

Also I found that this case has excellent padding for my Acer Aspire One netbook and am very pleased with it.

I recently bought one of these cases to try out on my new Toshiba Mini NB205-N330BN 10.1-Inch Sable Brown Netbook, which has the infamous "9-Hour Battery Bulge", making it difficult to fit in some standard cases. It fits perfectly. The case is small, and I confess to feeling a little self-conscious at times because of its similarity to a purse, but the neoprene protection is fantastic, and the stretchiness allows you to easily fit an additional mouse and/or power pack in the front pocket. Although it does look pretty lumpy when you do that.



It's such a solid build that I honestly don't think I'll ever need another one -- it really does feel like it's built to last. It's good enough that I immediately ordered one for my girlfriend, one for my mom, and one for my stepdad who all have Toshiba NB205 netbooks. - Notebook Sleeve - Case - Acer Aspire One - Netbook'

I bought a 8GB HC miniSD card which came with a reader a few months ago for my phone, and was so very frustrated when I couldn't get it to read on my computer, that I almost returned it. As I was looking at the possibility that the cheap looking reader/converter that it came with was malfunctioning, I stumbled across this little gem. OMG! It worked on the very first try with no problems at all. Now, I can quickly transfer files from my computer to my phone and vice-versa quickly and without any fuss. It's also really small (I almost lost it on my cluttered desk)and will easily fit on a keychain. I highly recommend getting this Mobilemate reader from Sandisk if you have a mini hcsd card compatibility problem. Also, the price can't be beat at under $10 with shipping! Sandisk MobileMate Micro SD & M2 Reader (SDDR-121, Bulk Package)

I bought this because I have the 8Gig memory card for the Sony Walkman W580i, and it takes a VERY long time to fill the card with music using the included cable. Slip your Micro SD card into this reader, but the reader in your USB port, and load your card with your music. Finished in a fraction of the time as it takes using the cable.

Functionally, this device works as advertised so I have no complaints from that aspect. It does what it is advertised to do.



The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is due to its small size and the Micro SD slot is open to the elements.



As other reviewers have stated, the photo is misleading because it gives you the idea the unit is the size of a standard USB Flash Drive. In reality... it's MUCH smaller than that. It's only 1 1/4" long x 5/8 wide, 1/8" thick. I have small hands but even so its small size makes it hard to hold and insert the micro SDHC card.



(A co-worker said; "Wow, that's really small, if you sneeze you might loose it")



The good news is it comes with a lanyard so you can hook loop it over your finger while using and hook it on your keychain when not.



Also disappointing is the photo is showing the "back side" of the drive. I was thinking the red end cap would be removed, or flip up to reveal the Micro SDHC slot, but that's not the case. The slot for the SDHC card is actually on the other side. When you flip this unit over the other side has a small slot that is open and exposed to the elements all the time. If you were to carry this drive in your pocket it could easily get clogged up with lint or other debris.



I'm going to try and post some photos to give a better idea as to the size and open SDHC slot situation.

I've used these items, purchased from other vendors, in the past. The adapters seem to have a short lifespan of about 6 months. Also, beware that they need to be handled gently upon insertion and removal, as the front end plastic cracks easily. I'm also very disappointed in this particular vendor. Although the price is astonishingly low, contrary to the photographs, I received these WITHOUT THE KEYCHAIN ring and cord! Without those items, these units are useless.

Within two weeks of everyday use, the device stopped working. I verified the M2 card wasn't defective and tried the combination on another Windows PC with no luck. I would honestly only recommend this if you plan to never remove it!

I purchased this through a local store for my boss in the morning. The computer would act like it was finding it, but it would never show up in the list of removable drives. Tried everything that Sandisk support recommended on their website, and tried multiple computers running different versions of Windows (7 and XP). Same problem with all of them. It was returned to the store in the afternoon of the same day.

I've bought 5 of these things. Over a year has past, and only 2 are still operational. For some reason one day they just quit. Windows started seeing them as "unrecognized device", and then one day it wouldn't show at all. I would not recommend this product.

I bought this device with a m2 memory for my C902 sony ericsson cellphone and is very easy to use and I had 0 compatibility issues with windows/ubuntu 10.04. I also saved some music in the memory and with the adapter I was able to play the music on my usb car radio. No Problems at all!! I recommend this little friend :) !!!

Already lost track of the USB cord for the Sony Walkman phone, so I bought this thing for six bucks. Pull the micro M2 chip from the phone and pop it in here, and it's a USB memory stick. Way smaller and easier to carry around than the cord, and cheap enough that you can just get one for the work computer and one for home, so you won't lose 'em. - Memory Card Readers - Memory Card Reader - Card Reader - Micro Sd Card'

Unfortunately, I have to agree with the many other negative reviews here, especially in regard to the long-term reliability of Memorex. I have burned many Memorex disks over the last 5-8 years and the ones that are 3-5 years old or more are now showing a high rate of failure. This makes them useless for long-term storage. If you check the discussion forums on the web and various blogs you will see Memorex's discussed time and time again in regard to their poor long-term reliability.



On the other hand, the Verbatims and the Taiyo Yudens are quite reliable, although even the Verbatims are said to have slipped in recent years because they have licensed their technology to so many substandard off shore producers. If you can still find real Japanese made Verbatims they are probably okay. But if not, beware!



So even if you don't experience a high initial burn failure rate, Memorex is highly questionable for long-term archiving, which is what I need, or at least 3-5 years. But they aren't even reliable for that, based on my experience and other people's experience which I have seen reported in various discussion groups.



Mitsui Advanced Media's dual gold/silver disks and also the Century disk, which is similar and developed by a partnership between Mitsubishi and Kodak, are quite good, but at over 2 bucks apiece they ought to be. For most purposes Taiyo Yuden is fine and theirs are around 36 cents a disk in packs of 100.



The Century disks are the most expensive of all, but also, they are guaranteed to be from runs of less than 25,000 from the original glass master. Most companies don't replace the master until 500,000 presses. This also causes problems because the master after the first couple of hundred thousand isn't that accurate.



Whichever media you decide to buy, caveat emptor because it's a mine field out there when it comes to purchasing decent media these days, one reason being because of all the fake brand name disks. I would just go with Taiyo Yuden. They are only made in Japan, but make sure you have real T-Y because of all the fakes. The real ones have a visible ring in the dye layer near the hub of the disks, which is said to be more expensive to manufacture and is harder to fake. Also, make sure the label on the package says it's from Japan, although that's not a certain criterion, but the extra little ring should be. Whichever media you choose, good luck! Memorex 4.7Gb/16x DVD-R (50-Pack Spindle)

Since I got my first DVD burner with my G4 Mac, I've been buying Memorex for creating video DVDs, as they were readily available. In the last 6 years, I think I've had maybe 10 coasters. And only recently have I come across my first DVD player that wouldn't play these discs. I wish I could remeber the brand, but it escapes me at the moment. I'll continue to buy them as they have performed great for me.



I've used them for backup as well asnd have seen a couple of verification errors when done. Unfortunately I haven't had other brands of DVDs on hand to test, but I still hold the Memorex brand in high regards.



It's not always the best idea to burn at the highest speed anyway since this can introduce errors, no matter what brand you use. Many repilcation companies will tell you that they burn at no higher speeds than 4x.

To start off with, I have to let everybody know that I'm using a very basic, budget computer (Dell Inspiron 530, Intel dual-core, 1 GB RAM, integrated graphics). Also, to give the most honestly possible review, I only used these for movies.



I had absolutely no problems when I backed up some movies that I have using Roxio Creator 10, and burning the dvds at nearly 16X most of the time. The reason this media gets all those bad reviews is because those people that are trying to burn movies, dont even know how to do it right.



To effectively back up a movie you need additionall free software on the net to do it. I'm not going to go into details about how to decrypt and shrink a dual layer movie onto a regular 4.7GB dvd, but I just have to tell you that you gotta know what you're doing or otherwise you'll get nothing but worthless coasters. As far as qulaity goes, you wouldnt be able to tell the difference between the actual movie and my copy. So for me, they worked flawlessly, quality was greatm and so was the price. I'm actually looking forward to buying them again.



And one last thing people, when you burn a movie you have to first create and ISO image of the file, not just copy and put the files and folders on the dvd. You'll get a nice little coaster and the dvd wont play. That's why I only had that 98% success rate instead of 100. Enjoy!

I see a lot of negative reviews here, but I've been using these discs for a couple months now with my PowerBook G4's Superdrive, and I've had no problems, at least none that I would attribute to the discs themselves. One review laments Toast Titanium 7, which in my experience is a very finnicky, buggy program. I too had a number of failed burns with that program, but I was able to remedy the situation by saving my dvd projects as disc images, and then burning them later with disc utility after I had a chance to mount them and check them out. For the price I payed for these discs, if I remember right, almost half the price of a 25 pack from other companies for a 50 pack from memorex, I am very very pleased. If you're looking to play around with dvd burning, and I guarantee you you will make a few mistakes and have to throw away a few discs before you get it right, this is the best deal you'll find anywhere. - Dvd Media - Blank Dvd Media - Dvd-r - Memorex'

I have horrible problems with technology. I buy stuff, and after 4 hours of trying to get it to do what I thought it should do, it doesn't. HP does this to me all the time.



That is why I was floored when I got the S510 working in under 20 minutes exactly as I wanted it to.



You can take a bunch of pieces of paper, scan in both sides, capture it to PDF, OCR it, make it search-able, save it to disk... all by pressing one button.



I am using the ScanSnap filing system software that comes with it. It is essentially a glorified file explorer, except that it will do text in PDF searches for you based on the directory (Or Cabinet as they call it).



I set mine to extreme compression, and full resolution, and then the auto OCR. The software warns you that it will slow down scanning, and it does. It maxes out my 2-3 year old Dell D600 with .5G of RAM laptop, but it gets the job done. I can still use the computer so it doesn't block like I have read elsewhere (maybe for the S500).



This is an upgrade to the S500. Mine was black, not sure what's up with the white ones (maybe mac?).



It comes with Adobe Acrobat 8. This allows you to delete pages, rotate them, etc.



The OCR is amazing. Out of the box, it gets a little confused with i1IlL but so do I, bump it up to the max resolution, and the OCR is flawless.



I probably won't bother with the try & buy Rack2 Filer. Google Desktop isn't essential for searching.



In the hundreds of papers that I scanned over the weekend, I may have had 3 jams which are REALLY easy to clear, and the software is pretty smart about it.



If I had a newer / heftier computer, things would go A LOT faster (not the fault of the scanner or the software though, I watched my CPU spike and slow during scanning & OCR)



This literally was one of the only pieces of gear I have taken out of the box, and had 100% functional within the hour.



My .005% gripe; Be able to tell the scanner "Yeah, don't scan the backs of these pages" rather than navigate all through the menus. But disk is cheap, and I can always delete it with Acrobat later.



I'll recommend it to my friends & customers. Fujitsu ScanSnap S510 Sheet-fed Scanner

I have used this scanner and its software for the last 7 months. It works extremely well, is very fast, has nearly perfect software, and is well worth the cost. The bundled software alone is worth quite a bit. Use the background OCR for scanned documents along with Google Desktop Search or similar and you will be able to find things in seconds most of the time.



I scan every piece of mail, receipt, or paper that I get. I can now realistically go paperless - this is what I've been waiting for.



It would be nice if it had standard driver interfaces or Linux support, but I'm very happy with it otherwise.

For the price of the product, and the advertised speeds and functions, you'd think all of your printed material could be fed into this scanner. You'd be wrong. Snapshots will jam in this device. You are locked into Fujitsu's software for scanning. And, you do not get TWAIN drivers for the device, so you cannot acquire images from this scanner when inside a program like Paint Shop Pro. This is a single-purpose scanner: feed it all of your sheets of paper, and it will convert them to PDFs. If you have a lot of paper, then this is your scanner. If you have a lot of mixed media, this is NOT your scanner. Find another automatic document feed (ADF) scanner with TWAIN driver support.



-C

A fast document scanner like this one can be a huge help in organizing your life. Six months ago, the S510 was about the only game in town for a reasonable price. Now, there may be better options, especially for rather heavy-duty users like me. The pluses have been well-written about, so I'll give only the minuses:



1) No Grey Scale! B/W is fine for pure text and some graphics, but is horrible with photos. In a publication with b/w photos, one is stuck with either copying in full color which results in large files, or manually switching between color mode and B/W mode since "Auto-Color Detect" senses color, not the presence of photos.



2) The paper input tray has fences that are too short. Pages tend to torque left as they feed. The paper output tray has no fences at all, which often means that the output pages get shifted around or kicked off onto the floor. The "De-skew" option can get confused if there is graphics on the page or if the printing is stylized.



3) The color scans are too light and there is no way to adjust the setting.



4) Japan has lousy paper. As a result, this scanner has a hard time with good quality paper as it's too thick.



5) Oft-used scan options are buried in strangely organized menus.



6) Inadequate cooling. A few cooling holes in the base along with rubber feet would fix the problem, but as it is, there is no airflow through the unit.



7) Life limit of 150,000 - 200,000 pages, possibly due to the bad cooling. There are now quite a few pixels missing from the scans; it's still okay for text, but irritating for illustrations.



It's doing the job, but I'd shop around were I looking for the same type of scanner today. - Pdf - Duplex - Scansnap - Fujitsu'

I must admit I was a little bit skeptical since there are two bad reviews. But after I read them it seems these reviews are not really about the product (one is about mac software issues, the other one had unrealistic expectation on the mini camcorders). Anyway, I always like Creative's products, full of features and well worth the money. So I decided to give it a try and it didn't disappoint me at all. The one we bought is the 2nd generation glossy white/green 4GB version. The first impression is very beautiful and ultra slim. And it comes with a silicone skin (a bonus here!). Uploading the video to youtube is a breeze and the HD clip we shot looks very sharp on the youtube site. The microphone does a good job to pick up the sound. The audio sounds good and clean. You can also use the included software to tweak the video and audio after you shoot them. I am very satisfied and I'd recommend it to anyone who's looking for a mini pocket HD camcorder! Creative Labs Vado HD 4 GB Pocket Video Camcorder, 2nd Generation (White Gloss with Green Accents)

had early model of aipek recorder. found this one to be much better. smaller. easy to choose options. only fault is that it has been left running by me ... need some way to shut off automatically. what a surprise when i viewed the first clip, the HD image was spectacular!

I bought this for my 10 yr. old son for his birthday. What a great product. This camera is so easy to use, even my wife could use it. My son loves it. He video records everything these days. He even writes scripts, and has his friends act them out while he records them in HD. The video quality is pretty good for the price, and the transfer is so easy, even a 10 year old can do it. The indoor quality is better than the Flip camera my older son has. And like the flip, it is super easy to post videos on youtube and other hosting sites. These cameras are great for shooting in close spaces, but they lack when recording in larger environments such as sporting events.



If you're looking for a convenient, easy to use video cam for recording your memories, this is a great value.

I first want to say picture and sound are very nice. Very easy to use. However, I just took it on a vacation and the battery indicator said it had about 25% battery life left when the thing crapped out. When I got home I plugged it in my computer usb port to recharge it and it works fine since it is recharged. I missed out recording some really nice scenes due to poor battery performance. This unit only recharges in a computer USB port unless you buy a charger for it for about $30 extra. Would have given it five stars if it came with a charger or at least the battery indicator light was accurate. Fully charged only lasted about 30 minutes of use.

Other than the battery cover being a little tough to get off(you only have to take it off once to get the rechargeable battery in there) this thing is a breeze to set up. I have owned one for over a year now and i love this thing. I knew my mom wanted a camera handy and i don't think she quite yet understands how much she will appreciate this little HD gem. The wide angle lens is the real seller here guys, seriously i have checked out lots of handy cams, none that i have seen compare. Mic works well too. Overall great product and simple! She loves it so far.

i purchased vado from amazon for 99 but ended up returning it within a few days. the biggest problem i had was with turning the product on and off. the on/off button was quite unreliable. i would keep pressing the button and eventually had to take the battery off and then insert it again to turn the camcorder on. the product looks good and is very simple to use. the fixed focal length is a little bothersome and i wonder if going for a digital camera based camcorder like the panasonic zs3 would be a better bet.

I bought the Vado because I wanted to have a video camera handy to capture the cute things my dogs do every day.

To get out the big movie cam we have would mean missing 'moments'. This little camera does the job just fine. It's not that great in low light (thus four stars out of five), but it's terrific in daylight, or anywhere that has decent indoor light. That's good enough for me. It came with an extra battery and silicone case, BTW.

I took it to Chicago and it was amazing capturing sightseeing sites, etc.

The best part is, it fits in a pocket, and you just plug it in to your computer, download & you've got your memories forever.

I've had the Creative Vado HD now for a couple months and have used it a couple times. I was looking for something with pretty decent quality for a cheap price, and it definitely lives up to that. But be warned, Creative is probably the only company who decided to make things more difficult for you if you use a mac. The Vado saves it's files in a format that iMovie cannot read, so you have to do a lot of leg work to actually get the files into a format that can be put into iMovie. It's too long and tedious, and given the chance, I probably wouldn't have bought this in favor of something with better connectivity for my Mac - Flip Video - Vado - High Definition - Vado Hd'

I bought the book believing i will learn a lot, however i did not learn as much as expected.

Pros:

*Nice pictures and good quality paper.

*Easy to read and fun on a rainy day.

*Low cost.

*Recommendations about the tackle, the best of the book.

*A few pictures about casting



Cons:

*No drawings about fishing line or fishing strategies. Only drawings availables are at Appendix 2 and are about knots for hooks, not for lures, and are pictures no drawings.

*NOT the complete book of surf fishing. It is far from a "complete book".



If you are a beginner on surf fishing, you will hardly find a "complete book on surf fishing", you will need 2-3 books that covers different topics, but not this one.



Not recommended for surf fishing learning techniques or strategies. However The Complete Book of Surf Fishing

I had done some surf fishing when I was younger. Now that I'm approaching retirement I've decided to get back into it. The fish haven't changed much, but surf rods and reels have changed quite a bit since I bought my equipment in the 1970s. Everything, from rods and reels to lines and hooks, is lighter, more powerful, more specialized and more sophisticated these days. While I'm certain I could still catch fish with my old gear, I'm sure that some new stuff will make my efforts more fun and efficient. The instructions in this book are clear and the photos are sharp and very helpful. Long-time sharpys won't learn much from this book, but newcomers and casual surf anglers can pick up enough information here to get them into fish often enough that they will want to stay with the sport and become more expert at it.

This book is a good place to start if you are looking to fish the surf. It gives practical and useful advice to help you, but like any sport you won't read yourself to competence. You have to just get out there and do it!

I just started surf fishing and this book provided me with 90% of what I needed. Everything else was on-hand experience which no book could teach. It saved me hours and hours of "guess work" at the beach. Even friends of mine have borrowed my book seeing my success based on what I've accomplished due to this book (now i dont even know who has it, so many have borrowed it).

I was first taken by surf fishing when vacationing as kid with my family in Mexico. A group of laid back locals stood around drinking some beers and shooting the breeze-until the rod bent like a crazy and the guy (they were all men) sprung to action and wrestled with the catch, hauling it a big fish (no idea what kind). It had a thrill and appeal to it: minimal work and big pay off for exciting work.

In Surf Fishing, Al Ristori (the fishing editor for the Star Ledger) captures the appeal of surf fishing, with lots of practical advice. The book has tons of great caliber photos and the whole book is printed on thick, glossy paper. If you're interested in surfing fishing, you'll be pleased with this one.

I didn't read this book... I started it, but in perusing through the book, I realized there is only photos of two women in the whole book, neither of them identified, unlike the other photos. I can only assume (yes, I know what that means...) he thinks surf fishing is too strenuous, too macho for women.'
