The Toshiba NB200 is one of our favorite netbooks, but something we hear a lot at GearZap is “I can’t find a case that fits my Toshiba NB200″. The reason we get asked this question so often is that the NB200 has a deeper chassis than most netbooks, so many of the cases designed for 10″ netbooks won’t fit.
To give you an idea of the size difference, here are the manufacturers dimensions of the NB200 compared with the popular Samsung NC10.
Size Comparison
Toshiba NB200 Dimensions: 26.3 x 21.1 x 2.5 (front) / 3.2 (rear) cm
Samsung NC10 Dimensions: 26.1 x 18.6 x 3 cm
As you will notice, the NB200 is 2.5 cm bigger in depth than the Samsung NC10. This may not sound much, but it does make a difference when it comes to choosing a case to fit. This is most probably because many of the netbook case and bag manufacturers have used the Samsung NC10 as a guide for the size of their cases.
Anyway, getting back to the issue – we decided to put together a list of cases and bags that will fit your NB200 without problems. Here you will find our top recommendations for cases and bags designed for all occasions.
