Cases for the eNTourage eDGe

[businessmom]

Entourage has a case called the Cocoon which is listed for coming soon. I actually went to Amazon on this link http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_no...k+Case&x=0&y=0. Or simply type in CPS350 Net book case and they will all pop up and in 7 different colors instead of 3, they even have one to match the midnight blue Edge. I ordered it and it is a nice case with good organizational sleeves. Its perfect for the edge, cords, ipod, and a cell phone and great in the airport.

I also ordered the Cocoon case. $34.99 with free shipping from RCS Experience.

Have you received the Cocoon case? When you do kindly post some pictures of the case's construction and how the eDGe and accessories are held in place.

When we saw it, and confirmed the fit, I think it started glowing and Angels started singing - we knew it was the winner! This 10" netbook case was bigger than the others we saw...no issues with zipping it closed whatsoever. TWO separate pouches on the front to keep the "extras" in order, AND a small pocket on the inside for a USB/SD card to boot! At $20, we couldn't pass it up - they had purple, grey, and blue-accented "flavors".

I also went to Office Depot today searching for enTourage eDGe case. I found 'Generic Netbook Case/Sleeve' and it is just as described here. It was selling at 13.99$ on sale today so I was quite tempted. However, it fits eDGe too tightly for my taste. It was a bit hard to get eDGe in and out from this sleeve.

Instead, I purchased 'Samsonite 10.2 netbook case' at 25$. (Office Depot sells them but I cannot find any link online). The eDGe gets in and out very easily since the bag is the just about the right size (not too big not too small). Also, it has two zippered pockets in front so it can be used to carry power supply and other small items.

I think both items are quite nice so I would recommend you guys to take a look at them if you have chances to drop by Office Depot.

Thanks for posting this! I'm planning to get the neoprene sleeve that enTourage has listed, but not the Coccoon one because it kind of looks like you throw everything together on top of each other inside (mind you, I guess secured with various straps). This Samsonite one seems a bit better with separate compartments - less chance of things banging together, yet only slightly larger than a sleeve.

Yes I have the Cocoon case. It's quite nice and I like it a lot. Unfortunately, I do not have my Edge yet. I am getting it Monday. I had no idea that they were shipping from California. Had I known, I would have upgraded shipping to two day. In any case, I will post some pictures soon.

I wrote a small review of the Cacoon case. Not a fan... but others may love it.

Thanks for the review, ckole. That's kind of like a mini-suitcase, isn't it? Not really what I was looking for so I'm glad I gave it a pass. I prefer the kind that you can unzip the top and reach in for the device rather than one that you have to lay down on a table to open.

Instead I chose to order a Brenthaven Edge Sleeve (name coincidental I'm sure) for netbooks. It's 9x11x1.5 inches with recessed handle, removable shoulder strap, and separate expandable zipped pocket in the front for accessories.

It arrives tomorrow ... unfortunately my eDGe is delayed so I won't be able to give feedback on this sleeve for another week or so.

Okay, so, the Brenthaven Edge Sleeve ... isn't what I'd call a sleeve. It's sort of a compact case. Very nicely reinforced and padded, too. Not what I expected but still very nice.

It really is well padded -- front, back, and all four sides. Which caused a bit of a problem: the eDGe wouldn't fit. Removing the padding from the top (slit the stitches, slide the foam out) corrected that problem and now it's an exact snug fit for the eDGe, sans extra shock absorption at the top.

The power supply & everything else fit (barely) in the front zipped pocket. There's an extra pocket in the back of the "sleeve" that can accept a thin notepad, misc papers, and so on. An extra battery would fit fine there. It has a velcro fastener so things won't accidentally bounce out.

I'm not sure of the functionality of opening up the eDGe while still in the case, as in the first pic. Doodle while watching a video? Obviously it was intended for a netbook and the keyboard would be the part laying flat.

All-in-all not a bad item for $24, if it suits your needs. It's not quite what I wanted but I'll stick with it for now.
