Once you have purchased a brand new laptop or netbook, next thing in your shopping list is an ideal bag for it. A netbook bag having just the right size. A netbook bag that doesn't add much to the netbook weight. Something that suits your style and doesn't cost you a fortune. But with so many netbook case choices around, how to decide what's right? I leave that decision to you given your budget and requirements. But let me help you get familiarized with various types of netbook cases that you can consider buying.
The types of netbooks - brands, models, sizes - are expanding so naturally the netbook case choices are also growing. Below we discuss the popular netbook case types.
- Netbook Pouch
- Netbook Sleeve
- Netbook Backpack
- Netbook Travel Bag
- Netbook Hard Case
- Standard Netbook Bag
Netbook Pouch
A netbook pouch is a type of netbook case that does not have any straps. A netbook case basically is just a protective cover for the netbook. Choosing the right size of the pouch is important. Your netbook should fit into it perfectly. Another thing you want to look for is the protective padding in the pouch. You want your netbook case to fit tightly around your netbook but at the same time you want to ensure the case zipper won't scratch your precious netbook while take it out on in.
While pouch is the lightest choice in netbook cases, if it doesn't have any padding your netbook is not safe inside it.
Netbook Sleeve
The netbook sleeves are the lighter versions of netbook pouches. Like pouches, the netbook sleeves are designed to go inside other larger bags. What differentiates them from pouches is that a sleeve may or may not have a zipper and that it's usually carried inside another bag. The responsibility of safe guarding a netbook inside doesn't lie solely with the netbook sleeve and therefore it doesn't have to have thick padding.
Netbook Backpack
Netbook backpacks offer an ideal choice for students and IT professionals who prefer being casual. They are comfortable and offer enough room for carrying planners, books, and other things along with the netbook. Backpacks offer a wide range of choice - in terms of price, design, fabric, and size. If you are a business executive who's often dressed up formally, a netbook backpack is not for you.
Netbook Travel Bag
A netbook travel bag is a carry on sized bag that offers a special section for keeping the netbook. It's best if you travel a lot. You don't have to wander at the airports with multiple hangbags. Just slip your netbook inside your primary bag that can also accomodate your clothing and other stuff. Some travel bags also come with a netbook pouch which can fit inside the bag and can also be used independently. So a travel bag is a good choice if you are looking for both the options.
Netbook Hard Case
If you need to use your netbook on construction sites or in other similar conditions, a hard case is what you want. It truely protects your netbook. The hard-case is not a bad choice even for frequent travelers who want to safeguard their invenstment. A small accident in transit can destroy the fragile netbook, hard case offers the best protection you can have. But don't use a hard case if your traveling to your school or college - your friends will laugh at you.
Netbook Bag
The standard netbook bags are most commonly used. They act as office bags - come with a special section for the netbook and many other pockets for keeping other office stuff. This is the most adopted choice among professionals. Often the bags come with strap option which can be removed or used.
Netbook cases come in a variety of colors. The material they are made of also vary - leather, faux, silicon - you name it. The designer cases offer an high end option if you want to make a style statement and flaunt the luxury!
