Has anyone tried this notebook sleeve or a similar product?

These have been popular for a while in Japan. The one I have fits my TC1100 perfectly without the keyboard, and is a tight fit with the keyboard attached. It seems like a good case that provides good protection.

Do you have the 11 inch sleeve or the 12 inch sleeve? The 11 inch seemed like it might just barely fit. I would probably use it without the keyboard attached.

I bought it in Japan, so the sizes may be different. The case is 11 3/8 by 9.5 inches. It fits well, but I think antything smaller would be too tight for the tablet and the keyboard.

Thanks so much for your response. I am guessing that you have the 11 inch model. The dimensions from the website of the two sizes are listed below. The interior size is really close for the TC1100, but apparently the 11 inch model has a bit of stretch to it. From the website it seemed like the 12 inch case had been updated to a more rigid version that would not stretch as much.

Dimensions for 11 inch model:

Exterior dimensions (W x D x H): 11.61 x 1.00 x 9.25 inches (295 x 25 x 235 mm)
Interior dimensions (W x D x H): 10.63 x 1.57 x 8.27 inches (270 x 40 x 210 mm)

Dimensions for 12 inch model:

Exterior dimensions (W x D x H): 12.40 x 0.98 x 10.43 inches (315 x 25 x 265 mm)
Interior dimensions (W x D x H): 11.42 x 1.57 x 9.45 inches (290 x 40 x 240 mm)

Also from the site:
(To clear up a frequently-asked question: Yes, the exterior thickness is less than the interior thickness, since the former measures the thickness of an empty sleeve. The interior dimensions measure what will fit inside, so naturally the interior capacity will be greater than the thickness of an empty sleeve.)

I have a 12 inch 'sleeve' and I really enjoy it. My tablet fits perfectly and there are some pockets for money or whatever. Simple and you can put the sleeve in any type of bag you wish.
I say go for it!

KT, is there any type of play when your tablet is in the 12" case, both with and without the keyboard?

Could someone take a picture of their tablets in the case so we can get a visual for how they fit with and without the keyboard? I'd like to get a comparison in the sizing between the 11" and the 12"

The Internal/External dimensions should be taken seriously -- the corners are pretty well rounded, which is what I think accounts for the nearly 1" difference in dimensions. The material itself is not that thick.

I have a friend who is using an Acer Notebook, he uses this Zero Shock sleeves as well... apparently, there is a big flaw with this sleeve... on the insides, just under the zipper, there are parts that are exposed that WILL scratch your notebook, whatever model it is...

I love the feel of the ZeroShock and had actually wanted to buy one for my TC1100... i know we can sort of like cover that part up... but... poor design still...

comments?

I have a techbook plus 12.
Here are the pictures and to answer your questions....
I have an LGLT20 so my keyboard is permanately connected. And when I put it in my sleeve I always put it into laptop mode and fold the screen down. It fits pretty tightly and there is a strap to prevent against too much movement.
