CrunchGear has a review up on a very interesting product. It's from Psyopper, a company that builds custom sleeves for Dell netbooks. I'm pretty sure you can fit netbooks from other makers in them as well. They're a very small outfit up at Portland but the product looks like it's fit to battle the big boys.
The review sleeve was customized with a strap, front pocket and a USB pocket. It's made from tough, military-grade material with triple stitching at all the important areas. It also has a polar fleece lining to absorb a bit of the bumps you get when carrying a netbook around. The sleeve is TSA-friendly if properly configured.
From the design, the big velcro pad on the flap will let you carry the sleeve even with just the handle which is attached to the flap. It's pretty compact, and you can as easily slip this in your bag or carry it around using the strap with no problems. The custom front pocket is great for the charger and other USb knick-knacks like mice.
While it is customizable, you better take care when ordering since the price really gets a bit high if you overdo it. It's also not for the impatient, impulse buying types since it takes a while to get done. The sleeve can be shipped internationally though, so that's good news for you folks not in the US. Personally, I hope someone locally makes something similar, a lightweight but rugged sleeve that doubles as a netbook bag.
