I checked out the Zeroshock III on Amazon and on the shinza.com site, but I can't find a 8.9 incher. Instead, there's a 10.4 and a 11 incher. The 10.4 looks like it would just fit (w/ the 3 cell- not the 6), and the 11 looks a tad too big. Has anyone had specific experience with either of these sizes?

Great little case, although the foam seems a little stiff and would probably provide better shock absorbancy if it were a little less "dense." I would definitely recommend this 8.9" size, since it fits almost perfectly.

Still, better protection than a simple neoprene slip cover, which is great beacuse I plan to carry the netbook almost all the time in my unpadded bookbag.

Look on eBay for the 8.9.

Do you know if the charger will fit in the zipper pocket for a zeroshock iii 10.6 - 11.1 case? It would be nice to have a small bag but still be able to put the charger in there. Thanks.

I just purchased the Belkin sling bag. I wanted a small backpack that could hold not only the S10 and accessories, but also my Kindle! Hopefully this bag will do the trick. Should be plenty of room without being to big and heavy. I'll let you all know and take pictures when it arrives on Friday!

I got the one that is just a little too small height wise and I'm going to cut some plastic off the handle area to make it work. The case that will fit the S10 right out of the box is 1/2 inch thicker and I'm all about a low profile. I ordered it with the pick-and-pluck foam insert. 2" deep HARD case for $6....not bad.

Only downside is that is kinda looks like a gun case, not the greatest carry-on.

No way. That pocket is only big enough for a folded piece of paper.

I literally just got a metal case from Game Stop. It was a ds accessory case containing headphones, a ds case, two game holders, car usb adapter and a usb to ds cable. It's roughly 12x9x3 externally, all metal with a handle. Internally it had cut outs housing the accessories in foam with an internal separator dividing the base and lid. The separator has net 3 pockets that look like they'll accommodate spare batteries or whatever. I pulled the foam out a sized in the s10e, I trimmed away all of the excess foam and put it back in. It fit well and didn't move. I had some space for the charger so I cut out a little piece and put it right between the battery and the case. The AC wire got stored in a net pocket. The DS game holder look like they'll hold three SD cards and maybe 1 express card. And well it was only 8 bucks on clearance. RAWK!
I'll work on pictures but am currently at work and the show is in progress so it's not possible right now.

I found the following bag at Frys (and can be easily found online) and was impressed by the protection it provided...plus it has handles (which were lacking on many of the sleeves I saw. It fits the S10 as if it were built for it!
