Protection - kindle 3, kindle 3 covers

This is a very simple product and provides a good alternative to using a folio type case that holds the Kindle while reading. I have the lighted case which I love but I bought this as an additional case to carry my Kindle around and be able to read it naked when I feel like it. Here's what makes this case (or sleeve) 5 star worthy:



*Extremely light - almost too light to believe, this case weighs just over 3 ounces.

*Interior Tricot lining that feels smooth and will not scratch your Kindle.

*Great snug fit, with no extra space thereby preventing the kindle from moving around inside it.

*Velcro closing will keep your sleeve closed if it's in your backpack or suitcase or any place it might move around.

*Easy to remove and put back in case with no fuss.

*Feels like it provides good protection without being bulky - I would say enough padding to avoid scratches from minor bumps and falls. I would be comfortable tossing this in my car boot, backpack, or suitcase. This case like most others will not sustain major impact or weight on it.

*Good quality nylon that will work great for everyday use, will clean easily, and will last a long time.

*Cool looking, in a very minimalist sort of way (I bought the black/black/black)- Simple and functional.



Overall this is a fun, simple and functional case for Kindle nudists (those that like to read their Kindle naked). I dig this one and I highly recommend it. Timbuk2 Nylon Kindle Envelope Sleeve (Fits 6" Display, Latest Generation Kindle), Gunmetal/White/Robin

I'm not going to lie. I've been a huge Timbuk2 fan for years. If you're already familiar with their products, don't bother reading this. Pick the color you like and buy it. It's every bit as good as their other products.



The padding is better than adequate, without feeling overstuffed or rigid. The ballistic nylon and stitching are the same quality you'd find on any of their messenger or laptop bags (which is to say, nearly flawless), and there's more than enough velcro to keep the flap shut. Inside, the material is kind of like a velvety dust cloth, which actually seems to attract dust that's accumulated on the screen.



As for the fit, it's perfect. There's no shifting or wobbling here, and you can safely toss this in your laptop bag without worry. It's extremely light, too.



If you don't have your heart set on a folio, this is perfect.

I have several other Timbuk2 products, and this has the same high quality materials and build as the others. I have seen the Kindle 2 version of this sleeve, and this is different in a few ways. As you can see from some of the pictures, the body now has three velcro tabs to fasten the flap closed, while the previous version only had two. This doesn't seem like a big deal because I doubt the old model had problems staying closed.



The more significant improvement is that they switched the position of the velcro materials. You know how with velcro, there are the soft, fuzzier loops that attach to the stiff plastic hooks? On the Kindle 2 sleeve, the stiff hooks were on the flap, so they would brush against your fingers when you pull out the Kindle. This was irritating. Now the soft loops are on the flap, so it feels much nicer. It's cool that Timbuk2 recognized this minor error and corrected it.

This certainly seems to provide excellent protection, and is reasonably attractive.



But I am thinking of returning it for two reasons:



1. The velcro fasteners are EXTREMELY loud. There are three large pieces of very strong velcro. Opening this case in bed would almost certainly waken a sleeping spouse. Also, I like to have the kindle on hand if my child falls asleep in the car so that I have something to do while he naps, but I am afraid that opening this case would wake him.



2. The fold-over flap makes the case twice as bulky. It's fine for a big shoulder bag or backpack, but I was hoping for something that wouldn't take up too much room in a purse.



This is one of the few options yet available for the new Kindle and it is a decent price, but I think I'd rather pay to ship it back and wait for something better to come along.

There are limited choices available in a sleeve type case right now, so I ordered this based upon the great reviews of a previous model. I was not disappointed. This case is unbelievably lightweight. Adds virtually no weight when carried in my handbag or briefcase. I carry a fairly small handbag, and I'm able to fit this case in my bag. I bought the white and black combo, and the back is solid black, which doesn't show in the photo. It's a very classy color combination and looks great with the red lining. The soft part of the velcro is on the flap, so it's kind to your knuckles when you pull out the kindle. The velcro is very secure, and yes, it's noisy when you open it. So plan ahead if you'll be reading in bed. Not a reason to skip this case. A reviewer of the previous model complained about accidentally waking up the kindle when putting it in the case. I have not had that problem, but inserting the kindle "upside down" avoids any potential issue if that's a concern. I'm really pleased with this purchase. - Kindle Sleeve - Kindle Covers - Kindle 3 - Kindle 3 Covers'

Ink Cartridge - fedex, color ink

By HP default black print uses the color ink. If you can not manually select BLACK only when printing common for Apple users, you can reinstall the printer a second time but change the print drivers to basic HP laserjet, rename the printer to be aware. The result will be dramatic as the laserjet driver you will see the black text crisp and clear compared to the MIXED color. You will cut back on buying color cartridges and only need to buy one black cartridge instead for basic noncolor print jobs. Google it! HP 920 Ink Cartridge, Combo Pack (CN066FN#140) in Retail Packaging

This is a very convenient way for me to order these 3 ink colors. I have One-Click ordering set up, so that is all there is to it. Exactly what I need for my printer. My HP all-in-one printer uses these inks. I have the Free 2-Day Prime shipping, and the price here is low, what more could you ask for. REVISION: I previously stated that there wasnt room in my printer for the XL colored ink cartridge, but the OfficeMax salesman demonstrated to me that that is not true, the XL cartidges are not 'wide' like the Black cartridge, but they still hold more ink and fit in the narrower slot. Sorry if I misled anyone by making a statement without really knowing the facts.

Delivery was prompt and arrived in good condition.



Like most OEM inkjet printer inks, HP's is overpriced for what you get. They can afford to sell their printers at initial low prices because they make a killing by selling the replacement supplies at tremendous mark ups. Hewlett Packard's one redeeming virtue is that they do provide free recycling of spent cartridges rather than adding to the landfill bloat. Unless you know a reliable third party inkjet ink manufacturer that offers truly compatible replacement cartridges at competitive prices, I can only recommend sticking with OEM brands. Thus far, my personal experiences with the third party brands has been very poor.

This HP inkjet combo color cartridges does not yield 300 pages per color. It ran out after about 75 pages total. I hardly print color. Bad product from HP after 6 months sitting in the HP Officejet 6500 Wireless without use. I will have to contact HP Support about this. It is a rip off. Not recommended.

I put these cartridges in my printer, and everything seemed ok at first. Then my printer told me that it was out ink after the one print.

I did everything by the manual, and got another set of cartridges and they work just fine. I also got that different set from another company. So I am not sure if I got a recycled set or not, but they just didn't work.

The HP ink jet print systems are quite good. We are very pleased with the product. To stay pleased one must buy ink. Ink is expensive; probably the business model for the very reasonably priced printer that you stick it in. HP advertises "lowest cost per page vs. in-class inkjets" but with our usage, it is about the same as HP's older printers. To HP's credit, the new printer is much faster. - Fedex - Ink Cartridge - Color Ink - Combo'

Really ingenious way to use the Nike+ sensor without paying extra for the Nike+ shoes. Straps onto the laces on top of shoe. Easy to take out if want to use the shoe for something other than running or walking - like walking on the beach, or playing basketball, etc. Taking the sensor out will hopefully extend battery life, which is the major complaint with the Nike+ sensor. I also got great service from the Marketplace vendor used by Amazon; fast delivery and actually cheaper to go through Amazon than to go directly to the vendor's website. The silicon pouch so far appears to be sturdy, flexible and very practical. Silicone Skin Pouch For Nike+ iPod and Nike Plus Nike+ SportBand - Compatible with all Shoes, Orange

I've used the sensor pouch/case for months now & its perfect! I've run thru rain-storms & puddles & it hasn't even so much as gotten wet because of the secure, rubber case; I love that it doesn't shake or make noise, I don't feel it at all. The sensor slide in easily, like putting a button on, and other than when I initially put it on, I haven't had to touch it. This should be sold with every Nike sensor!

I've been unable to get the Nike+ sensor to work correctly with this pouch. Apparently, the Nike+ sensor was designed to be positioned parallel to the ground and in about the middle of the shoe (with the red side facing up). When I initially tried to use this pouch, the sensor was on a slight angle (as one would expect) which was enough to cause the distance measurements to very inaccurate - even beyond the point where calibration would help. In the end, I ended up taking a Dremel to the sole of my shoe and made a nice comfy home for the sensor. Now my distance results are usually within ±5% of each mile.

This holds the Nike iPod sensor snuggly and I don't have to worry about it falling out, even if I'm trail running. I recommend this product if you're not willing to buy the special Nikes that have the space in the sole for the sensor. Only drawback is I feel a little nerdy with this purple silicone pouch attached to my left shoe, but it can be a good conversation starter :) - Nike Plus - Nike - Fitness - Ipod Accessories'

Digital Slr - lens, canon l series lenses

I've owned the 24-70mm for almost a year now. This lens has been a favorite of many since it replaced its well-regarded predecessor, the 28-70mm. It shoots images that are very sharp and have excellent contrast and saturation. It's sharp wide open and only gets better when stopping down. The USM (Ultrasonic Motor) focuses very fast, and full-time manual focusing is allowed. I've thought about buying a 50mm f/1.4, but the results from this lens are so good, I'm having a hard time justifying the purchase. I've been nothing but pleased with the pictures I get from the 24-70mm. The constant f/2.8 aperture is great for shooting indoors and produces a very nice bokeh (background blur) when shooting portraits. This lens is much heavier than comparable consumer-grade zooms, but I don't object to the weight. I actually like the heft and feel of this lens on my 20D. The only feature I wish it had is IS (image stabilization).



The one thing preventing an unqualified recommendation is the recent release of the Canon 24-105mm f/4.0L IS. The latter lens costs about the same and has some noteworthy advantages. It is .7" shorter, .2mm narrower and .6 lbs. lighter. It has 3rd generation IS that gives you a 3-stop shutter speed advantage when shooting handheld. I know from my 70-200mm f/2.8L IS that image stabilization is a very welcome feature when shooting handheld at slow shutter speeds. And, obviously, the 24-105mm adds an extra 35mm of focal length on the long end.



The 24-70mm bests the 24-105mm in one way: It's a faster lens. That translates into the following advantages: At f/4.0, the 24-105mm cannot stop subject motion blur as well in low-light situations where the 24-70mm's f/2.8 can give you a shutter speed that is twice as fast. Note that IS does not have any impact at all on subject motion blur, only on camera shake on your end. If bokeh (background blur) is important to you, the 24-70mm will have a slight advantage over the 24-105mm given its wider aperture. A wider aperture also helps a camera focus a little better in low light.



The first run of the 24-105mm had a flare problem (see Canon's Web site for more info), and the early production models have been recalled. But the problem has now been fixed. You'll have to consider your photography priorities when deciding which of these two excellent lenses best suits your needs. You would be well served by either.



Update 5-17-10: It's been 4 1/2 years since I wrote this review, and I continue to use and enjoy my 24-70mm, which is now paired with a Canon 7D. Anyone considering buying this lens today, however, should know that a major Canon rumors Web site is reporting Canon is getting ready to update this lens in 2010. There are reports that the mark II is currently being field tested, and the new version is rumored to have image stabilization. No doubt, a mark II with IS would cost significantly more than the current version. FWIW, Canon updated their 70-200mm f/2.8 IS earlier this year; the mark II version of that lens brought improved optics and the latest generation of IS, but it was priced $500 (MSRP) more than its predecessor. A mark II version of the 24-70mm would be adding IS to a lens that doesn't currently have that feature, so the increase in price could be even more than $500. Just something to consider as you plan your purchases. Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM Standard Zoom Lens for Canon SLR Cameras

Simply put, this is the best all-around lens that Canon manufactures. It produces razor-sharp images with startling color and saturation, and at f/2.8 across the zoom range is capable of shooting in all but the dimmest of lighting conditions. The "L" glass (Canon's professional line of lenses) is simply the best out there, bar none, from any manufacturer. It's pricey, but well worth it.



I use this lens for portrait and wedding photography, landscapes, sports, and anything else that doesn't require extreme telephoto. In concert with my EF 70-200mm f/4 L USM lens, I find that these two lenses cover just about everything I ever want to shoot. Of the two lenses, if I could pick only one, it would be the 24-70mm, because it's so versatile and can shoot so many situations (the 70-200mm is also a marvelous, invaluable lens, but at 70mm is limited in wide-angle situations).



I can't recommend this lens highly enough. If you can afford the entry fee, you'll have no hint of buyer's remorse once you see the spectacular images this lens produces.

In April of 2005 I bought the Canon 20D with the 18-55 kit lens, my first SLR camera. After getting used to properly taking pictures with the camera I bought the 24-70 as a lens upgrade - and what an upgrade it is. All the positive stuff you read about this lens is true ... the color, the contrast, the sharpness, it's unbelievable how well this lens performs compared to a consumer grade lens.



A lot of reviews complain that the 24-70 is too heavy, and it is heavy for a lens, but it's not "too" heavy to carry around all day. I also regularly use my Canon 70-200 f/2.8 IS - that's a lens that is maybe too heavy for regular use but it's also A LOT bigger than the 24-70.



A note about debates you'll find everywhere comparing the 24-70 to the new Canon 24-105 f/4 ... These lenses are not built to be an either-or, they are different lenses targeted at different uses. The main complaint I found online about the 24-70 is that it lacks Image Stabilization, a complaint I eventually dismissed as irrelevant. I've taken thousands of photographs with this lens and not once did I miss a shot because the lens didn't have IS. Simply put, this lens isn't long enough to require IS.



If you're new to SLR photography be careful when reading product reviews, especially those in discussion forums. Just like any other hobby (like computers), people who are in to photography have very strong opinions and tend to have to have the latest and greatest thing that just came out. If you're thinking of purchasing a lens this expensive and are unsure if you should get one or the other, try renting one for a few days.



Another reviewer on this page commented on using this lens with the built-in flash on a 10D. If you're buying an $1,100 lens you should know that Canon didn't design it specifically so you could use it with the built-in flash. They probably assumed that if you could spend a grand plus on a lens that you could also step-up and buy a real flash. This reviewer gave the lens a 3/5 rating because his camera body didn't have the right flash, something that has nothing to do with the lens at all. - Canon L Series Lenses - Lens - Canon - 24-70'

I got my Bialetti 6-cup about a week and a half ago. It took me a while to learn all the tricks of the trade, so I thought I'd piece it together here.



1. Rinse out the pot, preferably with warm water and not with any abrasive cloth.



2. Fill the bottom of the pot with water to the line. If you go over it, the pot might explode. Seriously.



3. Fill the middle filter with ground espresso roast (dark) beans. Grind them a little bit finer then auto drip grind, to about the grain of fine sand. Level off the filter, and put it in the pot.



4. Screw on the top hard. Don't use the handle to screw it, because it could snap off.



5. My stove goes LO, 1, 2, ... 8, 9, HI; I usually set it between 3 and 5. It takes 5-ish minutes to finish. Take it off the stove when you hear it gurgling and sputtering.



Things I've learned:

*If it's going to be mainly you drinking the espresso, consider a 3-cup. I usually make a double cappuccino in the morning, and the rest of my family uses no more than 3 shots total. I stick the left-over in a Tupperware container and refrigerate it (a practice sure to make Italians shudder) to mix with milk and sugar when I come home from work.

*You can open the top to watch the espresso come out, because it is really cool. Just be sure to close it before it starts sputtering, because it goes all over.

*Read an article in a magazine or something while you wait--just don't wander off, because the time between when it first comes out and when it's finished is brief.



Moka pots make great 'espresso,' plus they're cheap and quick. From what I've gathered, Bialetti's the best maker. So I definitely recommend this.

Espresso Maker

Unless you are ready to be ruined for any other coffee, and the three cup size will not be big enough! Decades of my life wasted. I've discovered real coffee so late in life, my only lament about buying this espresso pot is the tears shed over all those mornings I *could* have had REAL coffee...



Easy to use, a little time consuming to clean, handsome enough to leave out as a decoration. Unscrew the bottom, fill the bottom half with cold water, fill the little filter cup with fine ground coffee (note that "espresso" is a grind, not a roast), screw it back together, and put it on the stove top. In five minutes or less, you have the most incredible coffee ever. With the internal parts, it is not hard to clean, but time consuming, especially given the time it takes to cool off enough to take apart (the other reason to get a bigger one, the little one is too slow to reload).



The styling is a little retro, but handsome enough to lend a kitchen a quirky flair. Oh, but that's trivia next to the coffee that comes out of it.



I've been using a couple of Tchibo coffees in it with super results, and look forward to trying other fine grinds in it.



Don't do it, don't get this monkey on your back, don't ruin yourself for all those lesser coffee makers, and don't touch my espresso pot (we need alone time).

Recently picked up a 3 cup Bialetti Moka Express while on holiday and couldn't wait to get it home and broken in. I've tried stove-top Italian coffee makers before, and this model has not disappointed.



Sturdy and well made, this unit only has about five parts, all of them metal or heavy-duty plastic so very little can go wrong. This should last ages if properly cared for.



Just remember to keep it simple; fresh, cold water in the lower chamber (stopping *before* you get to the brass outlet valve) and fill the grounds basket with an espresso grind coffee (good excuse to buy more coffee) without packing it too tightly. Place on your stovetop ring and don't go anywhere. Wait a few minutes, and you have an excellent espresso to start the day or to add to steamed milk after dinner. I can't wait to have some with a cigar this weekend. I've been trying some Cafe Bustello the last few mornings and it's been great. Yeah, I know it's canned, but so are most of the coffees in Italy and Latin America.



The only problem I can foresee is needing a larger one for company, but unless you need gallons of espresso each morning, this is great for two to share.

I bought this espresso maker while in Rome in 2004. It works great. Poe Boy is correct aluminum does not rust; it corrodes so he has E. McNair on a technicality. E. Mcnair is correct that the bottom of the coffee make will corrode and leave a white oxide inside. The solution is in proper care (I learned the hard way). Wash the coffee maker by hand, towel dry. Store unassembled. Water gets trapped in the filter and will drip into the base over time and start the corrosion. I have started doing this and the white oxide has not reappeared. So, take proper care of it.Bon Appetite

Just got a 6 cup Bialetti this week, love it.



First off, don't be deceived by the 6-cup description, this pot will only make enough to fill one larger cup as our land of supersizers knows of it. If you are looking for 6 true cups of coffee at a time, stick with your countertop brewer or go for a larger size. Also, you won't be able to make successive cups (for company or spouse) due to the pot being lava hot after brewing one cup. Someone said the smaller the pot, the better the brew, I can't confirm this, but I'll assume they know what they are talking about. I'm single, so this product is perfect for me.



Who this product is best suited for:



* Someone who can appreciate coffee for what it is by itself, including both taste and smell. I will cut a square of semi-sweet bakers chocolate and pair it with a small cup in the evening, it's become one of my guilty pleasures and the slightly bitter combination mixes oh so well. But I digress.



* Someone who likes strong coffee. Whether or not you join in the debate regarding whether it's true espresso or not really isn't important, it's a thick brew. With that said, it's not meant to be the equivalent of espresso that's steam piped through a machine.



* Someone who thinks of coffee as more than something to wash down their eggs and toast.



* Someone who doesn't need to drink it by the pot just to function in the morning.



* Someone who likes the simple things. There really is nothing that can break (other than the gasket ring that will need to be replaced periodically), no maintenance (in the Moka's case, less is better), no wondering if you should've bought the extended warranty. Reclaim your countertop.



What I wish I could change about it:



* I wish there was a method to pull the basket out without growing fingernails. Maybe a small post in the middle of the basket? That's the extent of my engineering suggestions.



* I wish it would cool down enough to clean it out by the time I needed to go to work. Beginning to end, you will need to have about 30 minutes to spare, or clean it when you get home from work. I don't wash mine, water boils in it everyday, so I don't see the need to sterilize it. If you are germaphobe, you might be better off without one of these, as washing it is discouraged. But I don't like warm, wet grounds being left in it at room temperature all day.



Important tips:



* Not sure if I'd purchase this if I had an electric stove. I suppose you could brew on an electric stove, though I can't picture it. Common sense says use the smallest burner with the flame no wider than the bottom of the pot. Negative reviewers have complained that the handle melted during brewing. Duh.



* Pull it off the heat before it gurgles, the foamy water is just that, let it draw up by itself for the last minute or so. I leave the cover open for the last five minutes, I only close it for the first couple minutes to warm the top of the pot. It doesn't come shooting out like an oil well unless you've done something wrong, it only dribbles out. I did neglect to screw it together tightly once and bubbles came out the sides, this might be dangerous given the physics of steam and pressure, but I was there to oversee what was going on and fixed it. Lesson learned.



* I'm not going to promote any specific type of coffee. I use whole beans that I grind myself, mine aren't specifically marketed for espresso. By the way, I think espresso is a grind, not a roast, but I'll leave that to the coffee officiandos out there to correct me, it's really not something I'm compelled to argue. I don't use ultra dark roasts, either, as a normal roast tends to produce strong enough coffee for me in this thing, and I'm a strong coffee drinker.



Whew. Thanks for reading, I can't think of anything else that hasn't already been pointed out by the moka veterans who've reviewed.'

Sony Battery Charger - sony, battery charger

Visit Store Now !!

As a mom of a young son, having a power cable hanging off the counter with my camera attached was just an invitation for trouble. I purchased this item prior to a Disney vacation, along with a 2nd battery, so that I could charge up one battery while still being able to use the camera (given that Sony decided to go with the odd quirk that you can't charge the battery on the camera unless the camera is completely OFF). This charger is small, light, and fast. It fit easily in my camera bag, and let me leave my cables at home. I love that it plugs directly into the outlet with no cable, and that the batteries don't get hot. This may be the best accessory out there. Sony BCTRP Battery Charger for NP-FH Series Batteries

Be careful, the older model has the exact same model number and has a cord. The one where the plug folds in is far more compact. I never charge my battery on the camera anymore - I just charge the spare battery and swap. The plug folds into the charger so it's super compact. I leave the battery in the charger and it protects it from shorting.



If you've found this review helpful, please let me know!

This is a great buy. It plugs directly into the wall outlet and a handy ability to folding the prongs back into the unit. In my opinion, it is smaller and lighter than the pictures suggest. It seems about the weight of a pack of gum. There is a light to indicate when charging is complete. Seems well built.

Last month, I purchased a Sony DCR-SR100 hard disc digital camcorder. After a few weeks of use, I decided on two things:



1) I needed a larger battery to take advantage of the 7 hours of HQ recording the camera is capable of, and



2) I needed an external charger for the batteries so I would not have to plug the camera in, unused, for hours at a time while the battery charged.



I selected the largest available "P" series battery, and purchased both the battery and this charger through Amazon.



The charger is well made, compact, and features a power prong that folds sideways into the body, which is excellent for portability. I found that the charger and a spare battery fit perfectly into the side compartment of the camera bag I purchased with my camcorder.



Being able to charge one battery while using the other in the camera has freed me from the downtime and inconvenience I had experienced prior.



The problem I have with this charger is a poor choice on Sony's part with regards to charge indication. The instruction manual has a chart for each P Series battery, and lists the approximate "normal" charge time and "full" charge time. The difference seems to be that the "normal" charge is mostly -- but not fully -- charged.



The manual states that when you insert a battery and plug the charger in, the indicator light will come on. When "normal" charging is complete, the indicator light goes off. The kicker is that to achieve a "full" charge, the manual says to leave the battery charging for about an hour after the indicator light has turned off. There is no additional visual cue to tell you when or if a "full" charge has been achieved. You essentially have to guess when the battery is fully charged.



I would rather have seen a product with multiple indicator lights, or at least with "flash codes" for the single indicator light so you have a way of distinguishing if the battery is currently charging, and if the charge is "mostly done," or complete and full.



That being said, the unit does get the job done and free you to film while your backup is charging. The battery is usable after the charge light goes off, even if it does not have the maximum life. If you are in the habit of charging your battery overnight, then you can probably be assured that the battery will have a full charge in the morning, even if the charger won't tell you. Other than what some may consider to be a nit-picking gripe, I have no complaints.

If you see this product in your country, check if it is the same model (even if they say BC-TRP). The Argentina version comes with an AC cable instead of foldable plug. If you want to save place in your bag, better get the USA version and an adapter for the plug otherwise you have to carry the cable.



The same happens with model BC-TR1.

This charger will charge batteries for you camera very quickly. It's very small and the wall prongs that you plug into the wall fold into the body for easy storage. it has a small yellow LED the turns off when the battery is fully charged so you can easily tell. much better than using the camera itself to charge the battery, and a whole lot faster. Great buy.

I recently purchased a Sony DVD camcorder through Amazon.com. The only way to charge the battery is through the supplied power cord that hooks up to the camcorder. I find this very inconvenient since the connector on the camcorder is in a very awkward location, you cannot use the camcorder while you are charging a battery, and you have to leave the camcorder out in the open where my young kids might find it and possbibly break it. I started looking into buying an AC charger and found this one. I love it for its small size which takes up less room than the original power cord. Sony should just bundle this charger as a standard item with all their camcorder, especially the high end one. The price on Amazon.com was cheaper than buying it from the big retail chain stores. I paid [...] back in January 2007 and the price has gone up probably because it is so popular. - Battery Charger - Camcorder Battery - Camcorder Accessories - Sony'

I have a Asus 1005HAB and this fits like a glove. I went through several sleeves and cases to find this one. What makes this so great is that the faux leather gives you a non slip grip. It will accomodate the 6 cell battery. I really don't think that you can get any thing else other than the netbook in the case. I bought this when it was on sale which makes it even better. Belkin 10 inch Netbook Laptop Sleeve - Fits Apple iPad (80-8215)

This product is a sleeve for a tablet (or a netbook), not a folding frame. By itself, I don't consider it to give sufficient protection to the tablet screen, so I also have a cover on my iPad2. However, I feel very confident with the combination of the cover and this sleeve. It also has enough slack inside to allow me to carry a stylus, a sync cable and a microfiber towel, all inside together with the iPad2 and its cover. I rated it 4 starts because I would like to have a small pocket on the outside where I could include the iPad accessories (cable, stylus and towel), rather than carry them inside with the iPad. If the manufacturer releases an up-dated design, I would buy it on the spot.

This case fits the Asus Eee Pad Transformer well. It is a tight fit length-wise with about 1/2 inch of room width-wise. Overall, it is a good looking case that would provide good protection from scratches and dings, but probably not much from dropping it on the ground. Good case, great price, you won't be disappointed.

Ordered this product when it was on sale. A few days later received this e-mail

"We're writing to inform you that your order XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX from The OEM Shop has been canceled. Your credit card was not charged for this order. If you're still interested in this item, please search for it again on Amazon.com." Yes, product is now listed at a higher price. I guess if the company wants to raise the price after the order has been placed, they just cancel. Don't waste your time.....why bother!!!!

This is exactly what I was looking for. Sleek, snug, functional. I have the Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 6000 and the little transmitter fits under it, too, meaning I don't have to unplug that every time I put the sleeve on.

I needed a sleeve that would allow me to cover my ipad2 and smartcover while carrying them to and from work in a backpack.



For the price, this works well. There is about 1" of space at top/bottom but fits well across. Good padding.



There is no pouch for pens or other accessories but I just put them in with the iPad.

In general is really good, fits perfectly but the Faux Leather is a bit unnecessary since it just makes it a little bit bulky. I would rather have a sleeve instead of that leather although the upside is that it adds some extra protection to the computer. - Neoprene - Netbook - Laptop Bags - Carrying Cases'
