Modding my netbook messenger bag

Posted at 17:22 on September 24th 2009 in DIY, Lifestyle hacks, Netbooks

Thought there was a limit to what you could mod? There isn’t. When I got the 1101HA, my old 10″ netbook bag wouldn’t fit the new netbook so I bought a new one with more room in it. It did however require some modifications to get it fully tailored to me.

When I first got the new netbook and bag a few weeks ago I immediately put on a new strap and my water bottle hook. Today I bought the school’s new “eco friendly” thermos cup which gives you cheaper hot beverages (hot chokolate in my case) which I need now that the temperature is dropping. As with the water bottle however I’m not a big fan of lugging stuff around in my hands, so I immediately started drawing some skecthes and ideas for how to make a holder for it on my bag.

A few skecthes and some hours later the holder is done, mounted and working perfectly. I also made an addition to the water bottle “device” to make it more stable (not swivel around like crazy). I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves.
