On the other hand there's a bit more room in the bag than anticipated so it does slide back and forth a little. I am considering putting the power supply in there or maybe just a piece of foam. Still a nice purchase for $13. My wife thought it was closer to $50 and was happy with the cost.

Looks like a very nice purchase for $13. Hmmm, it looks like you may be able to fit the power brick in there.

I have the Brown Corduroy for my 17 inch and love it. I got the black nylon one for my S10 and it is great. Room for my Logitech Nano Mouse and ac adapter! Check them out, they are great! ...and you can't beat the price.

I picked up one of these: http://www.anitec.ca/product/12427/powe ... ok_sleeve/

Was $13.99 at NCIX (Canadian) but for some reason it doesn't show up on their site anymore. It's a little more than the $5 DX slip cases, but it's definitely better quality and a pretty decent fit. I took some pics of it with my 6 cell battery installed.

About half an inch up top with the S10 all the way in with the 6 cell battery. A little bit of room on the sides (I'd guess a little less than 1/4")

Some side profile pics with the 6 cell:

Has a front pocket that's fairly roomy. I stuffed the AC adapter in there. Fits pretty well. Not too tight so it won't break anything

I had originally wanted to get the Zeroshock but $40 shipped for a case (USD) is just too rich for my blood. This one works pretty well and decently priced. I'm very happy with this sleeve.

Under specifications, it shows it's for the Asus EeePC 1000H. The S10e is smaller so it should fit. Kinda looks like the one sold directly by Lenovo.

Our salesman threw in a "free" Disney case. That pretty much ensures that the S10 stays at home unless i pack it in the steamer-trunk-sized regular laptop bag.

I just received my PDAir case. Well, not so much a case as a very nice leather sleeve. Being more of a sleeve than a case, I'm not sure it beliengs in this thread, but I thought I'd share anyway...

Pros: Seems very well-made, fits nicely, looks professional, fits the 6-cell battery

Cons: It does fit the 6-cell, but just (some stretching will be required before I'm willing to say it's a perfect fit, but it's close), the top does not attach to the back of the screen so it flops open when you open the S10, and the pockets for storage are (quite uselessly) on the inside of the top cover.

Overall, I'm pretty happy with it, though. I bought it to protect against scratches and to look professional, and it does both very well.

If someone wants to tell me how to post pics (and there's interest) I'll post a few images...

You can upload it directly to this site. Just use the upload attachment tab.
I'd like to see what it looks like.

I've read all twenty pages of this thread and have decided to go with a 13" case. http://www.caselogic.com/case_logic/13_classic_slimline_computer_case/product_detail/index.cfm?modelid=70104

I'm thinking anything smaller would end up looking like a woman's purse. Besides, I travel with a digital camera and a Garmin so I can use the extra room.
The bag gets good reviews and appears to be well made.

My second choice was a SUMDEX Impulse http://www.sumdex.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=168_171_198_202&products_id=363
This reportedly fits the S10 very well but doesn't leave room for much else.
