<img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/dht/auto/1257291031.usr1.jpg" style="border: 0;" /> <a href="http://www.skoobadesign.com/" target="_blank">Skooba Design</a> is once again giving us the opportunity to give away some of their products - and this time it's their new <a href="http://www.skoobadesign.com/product/netbook-messenger-81/" target="_blank">Netbook Messenger</a> bags ($49.95 USD). These small bags are a great companion to your small netbook, allowing you to travel light. I hate taking my netbook in the same laptop bag I use to carry a 13.3" screen notebook - and it's a laptopbag designed for a 15.4" screen laptop. Small computers deserve small bags, and that's what the Skooba Netbook Messenger bag aims to deliver.Want to win? All you have to do is tell me what kind of a netbook or notebook you'd put in it (it will hold a netbook up to 10.5" x 7.5" x 1.5" in size), and what colour of bag you'd like. Three of the colours are pictured above, and it's also available in "Abyss Black". I'll be randomly selecting three winners from amongst all the entries.This contest is open to anyone in the USA or Canada (sorry rest of world, shipping is too expensive on a large product like this). There's one post per person allowed, and the contest will stay open for one week, closing down on Monday the 30th of November at 3pm GMT -7. One entry will be selected randomly. All posts are moderated, so if it's your first post, it might take up to 24 hours for it appear.UPDATE: Thanks to everyone that entered - it was neat seeing the variety of devices that everyone carries. The three winners, randomly selected, are: Steve Jordan, minikj, and Brad Adrian.

My HP Mini 311-10333CA would fit perfectly in the one that's Westjet Blue.

Actually, I've been pretty surprised at how useful my Gateway LT20 has become. Even though it's lightweight and thin, the keyboard is just a smidge smaller than full-size, so it's easy to use without pecking for rearranged keys. I beefed up the RAM and HDD of mine, so it gets used a lot more than my other heavier notebook.

My Dell XT2 would love to be snuggled into this nice little bag, black of course!

My HP Mini 311 would have a new home in the red bag. :)

I had been doing some googling for netbook bags and I just happened to stumble upon this contest! I think the Abyss Black one would be great to carry my Dell Mini 9 and various other gadgets around town.

My Blue Acer Aspire One.

The bag is too small for my monster Dell Inspiron 9300, so the red bag will hold my NEW laptop if I win.

I'd put my wife's ASUS Eee PC T91 into the bag. Black is always a safe color to match with the rest of your wardrobe.

I'd love to win a blue bag for my Toshiba Satellite L305D-S5895!

This would be quite nice to carry my Dell Mini 12 with me to college classes. In black, of course!

I would prefer the black bag to hold my ASUS EEE 4GB, original netbook.

I would like a red one for my MSI Wind.

I think my Mini 9 would love to call any one of these bags home. Black prefered.

I'll be putting an HP Mini that I sometimes take from work to use at home rather than lugging my 17" beast around.

My new mini HP would fit perfectly in the nice blue bag.

I would go for the red one.
It perfectly fits my HP Mini 1000 I won last year at Cntrstg.
I still did not find a decent solution or bag for it.

And yes, I have an USA shipping address :D

Hmm. I can't decide color offhand, but I think I'd go with the Abyss Black since my little Acer Aspire One is also black.

I like the pretty Red Bag for my Mini Dell

Abyss Black would be perfect. Asus Eee 900. :)

It'll be great to use the red Skooba bag with my Lenovo S10. Thanks!

I'd stick my HP Mini 110 in a red one! Can I go 3 for 3 and get the hat trick on Skooba bag giveaways? I can sure try!

My soon to be Acer Aspire One would love to call the red bag home.

Hi Jason,

I'd stick a 13 inch Macbook in it. I'm actually in the UK but will happily pay for the shipping if I win. :-)

I would love one of these-------PLEASE!!!!!!

What a cool little bag. I think that the red one would look great with my HP2133 Mini-Note.

Steve Jordan

I'd love to be able to drop my HP Mini into that blue one and take them both on a nice vacation trip to Aruba!

What the hey, I'm going there anyway...

Sven Johannsen

Guess I would haul my HP Mini, the external DVD, the MiMo Monitor, BT mouse, BT numeric keypad, and power bricks. What a minute, maybe I should have just got a regular laptop. Oh, well, a red one would be nice.

I will be using it to carry my Fujitsu Lifebook P7010. It's about the same size as a netbook, but it has a CD/DVD Drive which can be replaced with a second battery. It is my only computer I use for traveling. To be honest I haven't found a bag that it will fit perfectly. This sounds like a perfect choice.

My Skooba Netbook Bag just arrived today, and I immediately felt compelled to write. I'm sure that we all have more computer cases than we care to count: big bags for when we want to carry EVERYTHING and small bags for when we're in more minimalist situations. I've got to say that this Skooba bag is one of the most intelligently designed and "not-too-small-not-too-big" bag I've ever seen.

Some of the more noteworthy points are:

--It's sized for a netbook, but my smallish 12" Tablet PC fits just fine.
--The pockets aren't a bunch of hodge-podge nooks; they all have a very clear and useful purpose.
--The pockets even include some nifty neoprene USB thumb drive pockets, perfect for quick access to all those memory fobs we all carry.
--There's even a pocket for carrying a drink bottle - and the pocket zips out of the way if you don't need it.
--Everything is sturdy and well made, with much more space than it appears at first.
--A pouch for the charging cord keeps everything from becoming a tangled mess.

I've been able to get plenty of my daily gear into this bag without over-stuffing it. It has become my new favorite PC bag!

Thanks Jason and Skooba!
