Hey guys,
I ordered one of these last week, and, although I don't have a full review written, I do want to say that it is really nice. It's basically a Matias case with a laser-etched logo. It comes with a ton of velcro-backed foam spacers to customize the case to fit exactly. Although it is really well constructed, there is very little room inside for extra stuff, especially with the m3200. I understand that the m3400 is a bit slimmer height-wise, so it might be a better fit for this case. With the extra tall rubber feet on the m3200, it makes it almost too tall to place anything in the top cargo holds. The only way I was able to fit my power adapter and cord in (without worrying about it pushing on the LCD screen when closed) was to create a space for the adapter usign the spacers in the bottom area that holds the notebook.
Which leads me to another question. Since my first notebook I have always used an APC mobile surge protector. The confines of this case really make carrying that strap-on unit nearly impossible. Do any of you guys use a surge protector on your notebook adapter, or is it overkill? The m3200's adapter makes that audible click which makes me think it has some sort of fuse or circuit breaker...but I don't have any information on whether that is in fact true.
As always, opinons appreciated! I'll post some pictures of the case as soon as I can. My MS Bluetooth receiver crapped out several weeks back and I'm still waiting for the replacement to arrive. When I get it, I'll again be able to take pics with my phone and upload 'em.
