Hit up Best Buy, Staples, Target, and Office Depot while running some errands tonight...generally, the 10.2" netbook sleeves either don't fit at all, or are tight to get the zipper around. Any of the 10.2" netbook "cases" we found fit the eDGe quite nicely, although there were a couple where exceptions.
Pics below of what we found (naturally, the case we liked the best for our eDGe's were found at the LAST stop of the night...):
Top 3 @ Best Buy
Targus 12" Slipcase (
$20 on Amazon)- Fit well, but has about an inch of wiggle room in the length, and maybe 1/2" width-wise. Wasn't terrible though, and almost walked out of the store with this one (had it not been the first stop). Nice front pouch for power adapter/accessories.
Targus CityGear Netbook Case (
$27 on Amazon) - This case was also very nice, plenty of room for "extras"; if we were looking for a case that could do a little more, this would probably be it...we were looking for more of a "sleeve," so we chose to keep looking.
Targus 10" Slipskin Peel - Tight to get the zipper around, but we got it. Didn't care for this one much b/c it didn't have anything to carry the power supply in.
Top 3 @ Target
Belkin 10.2" Netbook Sleeve - Good case, with a pouch for the power supply, but it wasn't zippered. Was afraid to lose smaller accessories using this one. Fit was tight.
Belkin Netbook Case - This was a nice case...a pouch on either side of the main compartment for accessories, but again, I would be worried about losing smaller things (thumb drives, memory cards, etc). Also, not looking for a "case" so much as a sleeve, so we passed.
Generic Netbook (Hard) Case - Interesting concept. Not exactly my style, but the thought/idea of a hard-sided case caught my eye. The eDGe fit fine, with some space that I'm pretty sure could handle the power pack, and serve to keep the device from sliding around inside. About 1/4" thicker than the eDGe, which might allow for some added padding to added as insurance. Not what we were looking for, but like I said - interesting.
