A cool and quite reasonably priced designer item like this one is definitely a good buy and I’m actually thinking about ordering one for myself.

But, when speaking about colorful sleeves – what do you think about this one? Nope, you’re not going mad and there’s no need to adjust your monitor, it’s really as dotty as it looks and that's what makes it so cool! But this case is more than colorful, it’s specially designed to keep your fav piece of tech 100% safe and scratch-free! The stretchy material used to make it is water resistant too and, when the sleeve gets dirty, just put it in the washing machine and it’s going to be as good as new. Cool, huh?

Awwww! Well, this one would be a perfect match for my little one! A bit childish, I know, but I just can’t help myself- I had to include it in this list. I probably wouldn’t buy it because it’s certainly not fit for a 25 year-old but hey, that doesn’t mean this colorful netbook sleeve wouldn’t make a great present.

Now this fun designer case is really something! It’s available in black, violet and peony and it will definitely score you and your netbook some major style points.

I know, I know, crazy, colorful netbook sleeves are not really the ideal “gear” for the computer you use at work but, there is no law that says you can’t have two or even three different ones.
