Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Targus Sport Clamshell Case Designed for 10.2 Inch Netbooks TNC101US (Black)
Customer Review: Good quality, but a re-purposed portable DVD case
Summary: 3 Stars
I'm not sure if this was sincerely designed as a netbook case or whether Targus just rebranded one of their portable DVD player cases. I doubt many people care to use their netbooks (or any laptop for that matter) without having to remove it from the case. Even then, the implementation in this case is absolutely incredulous. If you place your netbook just plainly in the case as shown in the picture, it is 100% unsecured and will fall out if you tip the case in any way- so much for protecting your netbook. To secure your netbook, there is (1) a shallow mesh sleeve that encloses the netbook's wrist rests, and (2) an adjustable horizontal velcro strap. The problem with the mesh sleeve is that using it covers your touchpad, and it still doesn't 100% prevent the netbook from slipping out of the case. Using the horizontal velcro strap will secure your netbook, but then cover a row of keys on your keyboard. How is anyone supposed to use their netbook with the touchpad and keyboard obscured? Minor gripes are that the hard plastic clips on the retention straps that secure the lid will scratch your netbook when the case is closed, and the case doesn't "stay put" when you are trying to pack your netbook and the accessory pouch is already full, as the weight of the lid will tilt the case away from you. Again, it's very obvious this case was originally designed for a portable DVD player and not a netbook. Also, the shoulder strap is very cheap and literally a 1" nylon strap with no shoulder pad or grip. Fortunately, all is not lost. I simply cut out the mesh sleeve and retention straps, and only use the velcro strap to secure the entire netbook when actually traveling. As a result, the lid now opens 180 degrees, making it much easier to pack/unpack all the contents independently, there are no hard plastic parts to scratch my netbook, and I save a few ounces of dead-weight for 'features' that never worked properly in the first place. I also tossed the worthless shoulder strap and either carry the case by the handle for short trips, or slip it into my messenger bag for longer trips. I haven't knocked the ratings too badly because I was able to salvage this bag, but I would not buy this case again. In my opinion Targus is just looking to make a quick buck by rebranding an existing DVD case that is clearly not suited for its intended purpose. If you're considering this case, look at the CityLine model (actually designed for laptops from the start), or similar cases from Case Logic, Mobile Edge, Kroo, etc that are actually designed for computers and have gotten good reviews as well.
