Very clever mod. I like it!

@ Lasertech , is the BackTrack decal on th lid a sticker or did you paint it on? If a sticker/skin where did you get it from?
Impressed with the strap as well. They are all cool hacks,keep it up

I had a local company that does vinyl skins for automobiles do it, they charge me $25 for any logo or anything.

Man if anybody actually uses that usb strap you deserve your broken EEE that your sure to get out of it when you have it fall and break or just destroy the usb ports.
This was a good mod, but I would get annoyed with the strap there when I work, and taking it off to use it would be more annoying to me than just placing it in & out of a bag. I got the Case Logic Medium E-Sling now and it would essentially be the same thing but with more protection (both for the unit itself for scratches & stuff, and for theft) plus there is a pocket just big enough for the power brick.
Offline
why not one on each side so you can carry the laptop sideway? but both on one side? just curious...
I might just have to do this mod... VERY clever!
Offline
Nice. With that skin it's ideal for carrying to your local 2600 meet, if you're into such things 
Offline
A clever mod, but it looks far to much like a handbag.
Offline
I can't say I've seen a handbag looking like that, I'd prefer it to a bag that looks like a handbag/manbag
I used to have a jacket with a large internal pocket which would've been perfect for a 701, I'd like to find a similar jacket now
Offline
my 900 fits (just) into the pocket of my overcoat, so no need for a 'manbag' or anything else that shouts "mug me please".
Offline
Use the straps and hang the EEE under your coat, then throw your ALFA USB WiFi into a pocket and you are good to go.
Besides, when I am on a client's site and analyzing the network, the straps come in handy and not too many of the employees are up for mugging you.
And you could always have an empty pistol holster attached to the strap, let other people ponder about where or IF you have a pistol for it.

LOL, that reminds me of a person I knew. He had an empty holster attached to his motorcycle. You know, no one ever stole anything from his saddle bags! People would always wonder where the gun was, and that it must be with the owner, who may just be on his way back!

Vinhtvu2:
I was going to do it so that you could carry the laptop in several different ways, but for my "in-process" mod/idea, this fits the bill for the moment.
Plus I don't thing there is room on the other side for it.
Offline
You could also use the Kensington-Lock for such a mod
Offline
Thought about it, it would hang funny...
Offline
Yeah, something about the Kensington lock doesn't seem strong enough (even though I know it should be) or that it would put too much stress on the hole (that's what she said) kind of rounding it out more through wear.
I like the bolted on method that you chose.
Offline
I do like the second one. All you used were screws? No reinforcement underneath it?
Offline
I thought about using a steel plate to reinforce it, but after I got it back together initially and gave it a few "lasso" type swings around the office with no flexing or anything, I decided it was good.
Now if it was a full size notebook, the story would be different...

Hi All!
Moding is fun, very fun... lol... even if no one will use it on the road. I love the idea, the skill and the look..., but thats it... lol
Well done m8!
PS: That's a good way to the thieves to know what they will steal without having to open the bag ... lol...
