Default A very nice case by the Swiss Army Knife people

I just picked up a case from Walmart for $16 that is made by SwissGear (aka Wenger) that comes with a lifetime warranty. It has a zippered enclosure for the tablet and a zippered front pouch. The Archos 101 fits very nicely in it and if you have a very thin keyboard, that fits in there too, but its pretty snug in this case. I have the Apple mini bluetooth keyboard. There is about an inch on top, but length wise it fits perfectly. So it won't really slide around.

The UPC is 092837762329 and the part number is GA-7623-02.

The computer/tablet pocket is 10.5" L x 1.25" W x 7.75" H
The exterior size is 12" L x 1.5" W x 9" H

Anyway, just thought you all might like another good option.

I got the same case for Christmas. I used the foam insert to make two perfectly sized spacers to put in the bottom of the case, so the 101 fits perfectly.

That has pics for those of you wanting them.

To hijack the thread for a brief sec, I did something similar with the foam insert of a netbook case. Target was selling (is selling?) a hard honeycomb style 10" netbook case that is obviously slightly too thick and tall, so I cut the styrofoam packing that was inside, glued each one to hard cardboard, and covered them in felt. Now the top has one half felted up and the bottom has the other; end result is a hard case i can throw in a backpack or toss around the house and the tablet is hugged in cushiony feltness. For $18 bucks and some time it beat paying some of the prices for the flimsy cases designed for the archos that are out there now - although the $25 folio case floating around ebay is tempting.

In case anyone is still interested, here's the pics of my "mod" to the Swiss Army Knife case to fit the Archos 101.

Note: the foam was inside the case when I bought it.

First, I laid the tablet on the foam aligned with the top of it drew a line across the foam using the bottom of the Archos as a guide. I then cut out the piece and duplicated it.


See how the 2 pieces of foam will fill up the extra inch or two at the bottom of the case.


Shove the foam pieces into the bottom of the case and it now fits like a glove.
