Laptop case makers Proporta have developed a case for the Asus Eee PC. Constructed of shatter proof and shock-absorbent polycarbonate plastic, the Eee Crystal Case has a secure closure catch and a 360-degree double hinge, which allows you to open the Eee at any angle. For me, though, I see little point in vigorously protecting an Eee: it already comes with a little fabric case, and the entire idea is to just be able to have a tiny, cheap laptop you can sling around and not really worry about breaking or having stolen. It also only comes in clear (“ideal for use with GPS navigation” claims the website, though I wasn’t aware that the Eee had GPS) which won’t help you camouflage your Eee’s garish white default casing. If only it came in whore red!

You want red? Paint the inside of the Crystal Case whatever shade you like, instant custom color Eee. The Case is cheap enough for you to have several and swap them around. (Oh no, here come the reverse painted Hello Kittys!)
Well, I don’t know how much money you have, but I’d sure like to have some of it. For me and quite a lot of other people a 300 Euro/Dollar gadget is still expensive enough to take care of. No matter if it is only half the price of regular notebooks or one fifth of subnotebooks of similar size.
At 30 Euro I might start to agree – but we’re still a far cry from that.
The only thing that’s really shatter-proof is Captain America’s shield.
