Re: Bags, cases, slipcovers etc.

I made the plunge and went with the Tom Bihn Buzz for my NC10. I made an offhand comment in the order form’s comment box and Tom Bihn’s customer service rep actually emailed me back making sure I knew the size of the bag’s laptop compartment and asked if I really wanted the bag.

Here’s my comment from the order form:

Saw info in the sammynetbook.com forums. Looks like it could be the best bag on the market for a 10″ netbook like the Samsung NC10.

We’ll see!

Here’s what Darcy from Tom Bihn said in her email to me:

Hi [deleted],

Thanks again for your order! I wanted to make sure that you knew that the padded laptop compartment inside of the Buzz is sized for the 15.4″ MacBook Pro – quite a bit larger than a 10″ notebook. Is that alright with you?

Here’s what I sent back:

Well, I’ve shopped around and the Buzz appears to be a great bag. Hopefully the bag outlasts the netbook so having it bigger will let me use it for the next laptop I buy years from now. That and there just aren’t any good sling-type bags on the market right now that are smaller for netbook-sized machines.

Go ahead and send the bag please. I’m doing an event for the American Cancer Society on the 14th next week so I want to be able to show off the bag then and make all the ladies jealous. 🙂 (Hence the fast shipping option I chose). I really wanted the black-black-black (all black) version of the bag, but it’s on backorder until March so I had to go with a backup plan.

Point being — so far Tom Bihn has great customer service. I’d hope that was the case when you buy a pretty pricey bag, but you never know. I’ve never had a company actual check to make sure I REALLY wanted the item I ordered and not just grab my money and run.

I’ll report back (with pics!) when the bag gets in plus all my other accessories I’m getting to spice things up. 😉
