I needed something better than my netbook case that I had to take off to use. And this was just $10 USD from Amazon:

This sleeve stays on your 10/10.1 netbook permanently. If you ever need to take it off, it's easily done. With elastic, this is quite stretchable.

It does not interfere with any of your side ports, everything is quite accessible. The two bands on the top corner do cover the screen a bit, but it does not interfere much, with my toolbar at the top. I rarely need to know the time, and I can pinpoint where the Start button is.

It has a nice pocket at the front for your power cord, USB cords or a mouse.

Everything closed up, the mouse in the pocket.

It's a nice thing to have, IMHO. It keeps it protected when you're on the go. You don't have to worry about taking it out. If you're worried about a few pixels taken over by fabric, then simply move the fabric behind the screen and put it back when you are done.

I say it's nice to have. The price says it all, cheap, but I didn't need something more expensive than that. If you do, go ahead, you're not hurting my feelings.

Scoring: 8.5/10 It's good and all, but not that spectacular. I've seen better for more money.

(I know, I need to clean my Netbook. I'll get on it after I get this review done)

How does it keep the netbook cool (I'm assuming you mean temperature wise)

Yeah, common logic will tell you that adding a padding of insulation around the system will increase system temperatures in addition to interfering with air ventilation.

From what I understand, It makes it able to breathe, while still protecting it. Netbooks don't get exceedingly hot. A little warm to the touch, that's about it.

Haha, not even close to a good netbooks article. Come on, obvious flaw in keeping it "cool". I'm sure they meant the I'm cool, you're not kind of thing.

I think I put the wrong terminology on... edited...

Think I had too much caffeine at that point.

I tend to agree. However, I don't think blocking off all the ventilation at the bottom as aforementioned is a very good idea. :P

Especially if that is foam, even my leather case for the netbook adds heat, but that foam is known for adding quite a bit of heat.

It kind of defeats the purpose of the case. You're going to lose the 'structural' integrity of the case, and you reduce protection. :P

Either way the main point we are making is that it doesn't keep the laptop cool as you stated in your review.

I was addressing the issue of the knife.

I noticed. When erroneous information is posted in a review and this is a tech site I think it's justified when the review is critiqued appropriately.

If I post inadequate information in a review that's going to be published by APH I think it's fair that people let me know what I've stated incorrectly as I have done for you.

chc: I know, I was responding to Shift's remark.

Shift: That's the reason I'm not on the APH Review committee. I'm no pro. Sorry if I posted "inadequate information" We make mistakes, we move on.

So the least you can do for the reviews that you do in the Member Written Articles section is ensure that the information provided is accurate and be prepared to be criticized when it isn't.

Don't tell me that you never edited anything. So I thought incorrectly, big whoops.

You edited it after the fact I criticized you, and you had tried to defend your original statement.
