Looks perfect. I'll have to try Target on-line. Living in a small town has its drawbacks - just got back from Target and the kid at the electronics counter said "...like, what's a mini-laptop?" He also had no idea how to search and see if they could order one delivered to the store. Guess I'll go back to waiting refreshing UPS tracking for K2.
Target's website didnt have them. (sorry!)
I went to Target tonight and got the quilted one that has the strap, but doesnt have the neoprene handle on it. (the endcap was pretty picked over...I wonder if any other Kindle owners had been there before I was?)
The one I got doesnt have any extra pockets in it, but it's the right shade of blue to match my Dark and Stormy Night cover that I got from Strangedog last week. Fits my Kindle like it was made for it, and was pretty much exactly what I was looking for.
I was going to crochet or knit or sew a bag to carry my K1 around, but this was just what I wanted, and the $20 was probably less than I'd have spent for supplies for a handmade bag.
Even without the pockets, I can still get the charger and USB cord in the bag. I'm looking for a book light that folds up flat. I'm returning the Mighty Bright light that I bought at the Border's down the street from me tomorrow. (the MB light wont fit in the bag very well)
I do have a mini laptop, and I tried putting it in the bag to see if it fits, but my mini laptop is an 8.9 incher and is just a little bit too long to fit into the bag. An inch or so sticks out past the zipper. Other than that, the laptop fits in the bag. There isnt any space for power cords or the mouse, or anything else in there tho. But, I dont think my Kindle would like sharing the bag with the laptop anyways.
I'm just amazed at how perfectly my K1 fit in the bag. I cant wait till my dad's K2 shows up (I think it's taking a very slow boat to China and back before it's going to be delivered) I want to see if my Strangedog cover will fit it, or if it'll fit in the Belkin bag. I'm thinking of upgrading to the K2 for my birthday in May if I like my dad's K2.
If the K2 will fit in my Strangedog cover, I wont have to give up that cover (or buy a new cover for the K2) when my K1 gets handed down to my sister.
I wonder if any other owners of a Strangedog cover have tried their Strangedog on a K2? I guess I'll have to do a search of the forum and see if anyone's posted.
