Hey all
Just wanted to say and confirm once and for all that the 12 inche SHINZA bag works well with the 700m! and note that I am using it with the EXTENDED BATTERY. Oh yeah the bag is the newer version. -CASE CLOSED- no pun intended
The first time i used it, it was a difficult fit and i had trouble zipping it to the end. But the Shinza bag has the ability to stretch itself. I left the 700m inside the bag overnight and the next morning it was no longer difficult to zip it up. It worked flawlessly - without any improper force like before.
That is pretty impressive.
Was it worth it??
Well it cost almost 40 bucks shipped and i honestly have to say that you can't get a better sleeve for that price. It isnt' like case logic's neophreme material. Instead, it feels tough and sturdy, it is not soft at all and doesn't bend like the caselogic- Imagine the neophreme that is supported by cardboard.
The outer texture is not smooth like the neophreme, rather it is a bit grippy. I personally enjoy the neophreme's touch.
The really cool part, however, is the material inside the sleeve. The Shinza bag opens up all way, all 180 degrees, like a book. and everything is black inside of it. The material doesn't look like anything special. It feels just like the exterior- hard and cardboardy. But one cannot put judgement on it until he pushes his fingers firmly on the material. The material is tough, but surprisingly it is mallable (sp)! The imprint the finger leaves behinds stays behind for a couple of seconds. And that gives the shinza amazing force
absorbing power!
One thing i dont like about the shinza bag is that it fits the 700m TOO snuggly, which means that bumps hurts the machine a bit more then a laptop that fits a bit looser. While inside of the bag, you can feel the shape of the 700m, expecially the bottom of the computer where it bumps out a bit. I think a 12 inch ibook would be more protected by this case. But its not bad for 40 dollars, if you really want hardcore protection and would sacrifice the size then simply buy one of those hard shell cases. Those looks cool and if your a little bit more crazy then the rest of us then i suggest you get some handcuffs and cuff the case to yourself
You can probably get a nice 12 inch neophreme laptop sleeve for around 25 dollars which was hard to find for me, which does a great job protecting the laptop from scratches, but why not spend a bit more to protect your laptops from scratches and bumps? To me, i plan to use this laptop for a bit longer (2years) so 40 dollars is a great investment! It depends on the owner. Hope this helps guys! Good Luck!!
