What's got your gear covered?

Compared to the last time, the prices are much lower, which make me not that happy.

Is this actually a brand geared towards ladies or am I just intolerant of colors or something?

We ladies would not want such ugly colors, so no.

I got one of the hoodie cases during the woot! off - specifically to hold my tablet's charger, the bluetooth headset, and the converter for the sd card.

I want to note that it is *really* thin, and the hardback case means the neoprene only stretches on one side. it was fine for what I wanted it for, but just to see, I tried my flip in here, and had to push it down really firmly. it's a *very* slim case, and you want to keep that in mind for a camera; for ease of use, you'll want a camera that is not much more that 1.5 cm/.75" thick. My slightly older flip is an inch.

Anyone know if the 11-13" bag hold a 13.3 inch ultrabook laptop?

Looks like the Kindle sleeve is cheaper on Built's own site:

Only $5.99 there.

last wootoff Builtman chimed in frequently: http://www.woot.com/forums/viewpost.aspx?postid=5108956
but didn't specifically answer that question that i could see.
I got the 17" sleeve, and it is quite roomy for my 17" lenovo thinkpad, so that may well work. mine fits my charger, other stuff, and still zips.

yeah, it hurts. it really hurts.

but, i have had my thinkpad and camera and tablet protected for the last few weeks, so i figured i got my money's worth.

plus, now we know how nice they are and can order more. in for three of the stripey ones... perfect ipad fit.

I have several Built products (13" laptop sleeve, bottle sleeve, messenger bag) and generally the build quality is excellent especially on the neoprene stuff.

ok, so the other case I bought during the woot off showed up today, the Compact Soft Shell Camera Case (in the City Grid).

Peculiar thing about it; it is furry inside. I would not use this with a camera that did not have a shutter on the lens; my camera closes up when turned off. My camera, a GE A1050, is a little loose in here; it has more space than the hoodie ones. I needed a new case because I bought a gorillapod a month and a half ago, and it has a quick release on it; so my old camera sleeve, which was *exactly* the size of the camera, was being stretched too much along a seam.

Anyway, this is a little loose with the camera, but is fine when closed with the quick release. I might make an effort to keep a cleaning cloth or two in here now that there is a little space. The SD card pocket is big and generous. I think I will put my USB dongle in there, since I do not need to carry SD cards.

The fur is like petting a really short haired cat. But I ran a lint brush over it and nothing came loose.

I bought the 16" envelope for my HP 16" display laptop and it fits perfectly and allows for my rigid mouse pad to fit in the extra pocket the only thing is I paid more for it from the previous woot offering.

Interesting. I also bought this case during the last woot-off and noticed that the picture seem to show a "plush" furry interior. The cases I received did not have this "plush" interior. I was expecting the "plush" interior and did not get it. The cases were also missing the strap. Obviously, there are different versions out there, but the pictures, as consumers, are all we have to go on to base our decision to purchase an item. Makes one wonder if some of the cases are a knock-off. Let me just put it this way - if I had seen the cases that I received in a 99 cent store, I would not have bought them.
