May 15th, 2010

Then once you start adding your personal touches to it, such as programs, photos , videos and music your netbook now becomes priceless.  So why do so many people neglect to protect their laptops with either a sleeve, a case or both a sleeve or case?

Many sleeves can be picked up for less than $15 and cases or laptop bags for around $25.  Sure you can spend over $300 on a laptop case but if you are short on cash and inexpensive one will work well.

When you are looking at sleeves or case be sure to get one that will be large enough to hold your laptop and also any necessary electronics to go along with it.

Now in the case of a sleeve it's best not to plan on taking alot of extras with you since you want the sleeve to be snug on your laptop. What many people do it to purchase a sleeve that fits their laptop and then when they get their case they get one that will fit anything they need and then they just slip their sleeve inside their case.

When purchasing a laptop case or a bag be sure that it has foam padding and if you ride a bike or walk to work make sure that it is weather resistant. Many laptop bags have a sleeve that is included so before you purchase a sleeve be sure to check the product description.

A few of the most popular names in laptop cases are Mobile Edge,  Skooba, Case Logic, Targus, CaseCrown and Kroo.

Also be sure to think about when and how you will be using your netbook. If you are planning to take it with you on several trips where you will need to board a plane you might want to look for the words "checkpoint friendly" "quick checkpoint" and "travel friendly".  These cases come with a special section for your laptop so that it make it easier and quicker to go through security without having to juggle your luggage, shoes and your laptop.

Checkpoint friendly bags may often cost a bit more, but they are more than worth it.
