«Fits like a glove»
I've had many cases over the years for laptops, and indeed, ended up with a pretty wide variety of cases for my EeePC between myself and my wife. This one is about the most perfect case I'll ever find - small, portable, it has a perfect symmetry to the Asus, and fits the computer like a glove.
The zippers are strong, and don't catch, the handles fold back or velcro together. The only gripes I could possibly have are just options I'd like to have. Something to put over my shoulder, the rear zipper going just a tad further so I could plug it in while in the case, the velcro safety belt for the computer positioned just a bit further towards the top so it wouldn't cover the exhaust port.
Don't get me wrong on this - the case isn't built for holding the EeePC while recharging, nor should a very tight fitting case be used to transport it on standby. The lack of a shoulder strap means that you actually take more care about your computer. This is also not an 'all day' bag - it fits snuggly up against your machine - no room for your power supply, extended battery, mouse - even a pair of headphones or a USB adapter will make the top bulge out slightly. But it has been the perfect case to pop the computer into 'just in case' I've needed it somewhere along the day, the solid construction protecting it very well even when it ends up in the back seat.
Is it a commuter's friend? I think so; I use the case as a lapstand so my slacks don't get too warm, the battery bumpout making a perfect shelf to ensure great airflow. Since it's fabric covered, it's relatively non-slick for the Asus's feet, so even when the train stops pretty quickly, it remains in my lap.
The real response is what comes from others who see it, and want it. Many I've come across have asked where I bought my case. I do not recommend this case for kids though - too tempting to shove too much stuff in the top basket-pocket, and damage the screen when they try to force the zippers closed.

«No real accessory storageThe ad indicated that the case had»
The ad indicated that the case had room to store accessories. Maybe a couple cds and sd cards, but not a power supply which is what I'd hoped.
