    I am looking to get a sleeve for my M11x that will protect it more than the cloth one u get with it. Would also like a pocket that I can store my Nano mouse and usb dvd drive while in transit. What would you recommend? (I'm in the uk so that will limit choices :( )

    £32 is a bit expensive, looking for a cheaper one. Had a nice Case Logic one for my old netbook and that was pretty cheap. Is the M11x standard 11.6" size?

    Insofar as there is no real "standard" sizes, I'd still say no. The M11x is a more square design, about the same size as 12 inch machines, as it has about an inch of room both above and below the screen. It is also much thicker than most 11.6 machines, which are usually in the thin'n'light category, and it is doubtful another one will be almost an inch thick. Definitely not worth risking it - take it along to a shop and try to fit it into some cases (with the assistant's blessing of course).

    I thought it was bigger than other 11.6" netbooks. Dskid that's is the sort of thing I am looking for and not a bad price. Will have a look properly on a pc instead of on my phone.

    Yeah I am pretty sure It is slightly larger than normal 11.6'' laptops. But only slightly. I have an 11.6'' generic laptop bag and it just barely fits. You have to put up a fight.

    I'd say it's substantially larger than most 11.6 laptops. It doesn't fit in a generic bag from one of the big brand sleeve makers that I have for my Vaio YA15, as it is too deep from front to back, and a bit thick. I've got an HP TX1000 12.1 laptop as well and the R3 is almost the same size - a few mils on each axis but closer to the HP than the Vaio generally.
