So of course you'll want to carry it in a bag that does all the same things. The Skooba Netbook Messenger is a sleek, stylish courier-style bag that's incredibly compact and feather-light, yet packed with smart, efficient pockets and thoughtful features. Holds any size netbook, plus power cord and other accessories, with room to spare for books or papers and more."</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/dht/auto/1256590786.usr1.jpg" style="border: 0;" /></p><p>I'm a fan of Skooba Design products, and have been waiting a long time for them to release a smaller bag - most of their bags are fairly sizeable, designed to fit everything up to and including a 17" laptop, which to me means there's wasted space if you're using a smaller laptop. This new <a href="http://www.skoobadesign.com/product/netbook-messenger-81/" target="_blank">Netbook Messenger</a> product looks really cool - and I'm pleased to see the return of some colour to the Skooba line! Many of their recent bags have been all black with no options for colour. The Netbook Messenger is available in Deep Ocean Blue (which looks more like Peacock Blue to my eyes), Inferno Red (pictured above), Blizzard White, Abyss Black. The price seems pretty reasonable as well: only $49.95 USD.</p>

You, or anyone, got one of these? Looks really nice, plenty of pockets, and Skooba is a great company, but I was concerned by the last picture they provide. That would be the one where there is a guy holding it. Hopefully that is a little guy, or the bag still looks pretty big. Love to see one with a Dell or HP mini sitting on it, to get a feel for the size. Looks like you could fit two in there. It gives the dimensions, and I have a bag with similar specs, that I still consider overkill for the mini. I could fit two in it.
