I’ve done a quick review of the S series slipcase since so many people have been asking me about it.

Enjoy!

And, yes the Type S review is coming. I’ve finally got it working the way that I want so I can finally really use it. And yes, there will be the same battery test I’ve done in the past among other things.

And no, I haven’t forgotten about the TR. I have another article in the works regarding connectivity and will actually cover both TR and S series.

:wink:

Velcro to keep it closed???  :?
How well does the velcro stay together?  I would have prefered a zipper but, I guess nothing is perfect.  :|

The velcro is actually pretty strong. I even tried the hold the case upside down and shake it to see if my S fell out. It didn’t.

Also, because it does fit snug it won’t slide out that easily.

Yes, it would have been nice with zippers like the TR’s CK5T but it’s still pretty good.

pretty :drool:

It’s snug but I wouldn’t say that it’s tough to get it out. It doesn’t slide out which I prefer.

i dont really like the fact that it is held in by velcro i would much rather have a zipper. but i do like that it has all that padding.

Yeah, I understand everyone’s concern about the velcro. All I can say is that it’s very very good velcro. It’s not the cheap kind that loses it’s grip quickly.

u have on i am thinking. it fits snug right? and it have a harder outside for protection.

I picked one of these up based largely on gr00vy’s review and am glad that it’s working out great. The fit and finish are top-notch, and the materials are very good, though not as awesome as WaterField’s stuff. It would be nice if you could attach a strap or handle to this, but I guess it’s because I’ve been spoiled by my TR’s case! 

The slipcase itself weighs a hefty 450g? Won’t that make the S into a Dell 600m? (2.3kg) Hmm… Seriously wondering if the case would add that much weight until the S becomes a dell. 

I am currently considering whether to buy the case or not.

Comments?

how much would a dell weigh if you had added the case? hehe

A lot heavier. The problem here is that I already felt that the Dell was way overweight when I just carry it on its own (Which is 2.38kg) So I was wondering if the S would weigh the same with this case.

Yeah, any case is going to add some weight. This case does add a little bit of heft but it sure beats being extremely upset because your notebook got scratched or detented because it wasn’t properly protected.

Hmm, looks like I should be getting this case to protect my baby…

Anyway, is this case really waterproof? (Heehee, anyone cared to try out or was caught in the rain recently?)

How thick is the padding and is it well padded all round even at the handling sides (Top and bottom)?

Use the 3M Scotch-Gard stuff… works pretty good if you get the outdoor one…

Brilliant!  I’ve been trying to get the Sony brand but coming up short for the longest time.  This looks like a good alternative.  Does anyone have this yet? How is it compared to the Sony brand?
