Hi jackie.

I know the cover is a little flimsy, but is described as a dust protective 
cover which I suppose it serves well for.  By no means is it a carry case or 
anything near that, though I'd be surprised if any of the other netbooks in 
the range came with anything close to a bag or carry solution.
