Broken lugs on Vaio Case

[phaine]

Has anyone else had the experience I have had with their Vaio laptop case? Only 2 weeks after purchase, one of the lugs that latches the case shut broke! Today the second one broke, so I can no longer latch it shut. Hopefully Sony are going to solve this for me fast - but I am concerned as the lugs are just plastic, and as its hard to prise the lid open whilst sliding the front catch, I am concerned they will just break again. It seems a rather cheapskate way of latching an expensive machine!

Mate. I went full throttle and bought the top of the range leather case and the metal lug on that pops open unless you nurse it.

If your computer is an FS series machine then it seems to be a common problem. If it is an FS model then I would return it to the shop & pick a different make and/or model.

you means your vaio laptop or vaio laptop case?

Either way they're both covered by warranties so have them repaired.

If it's an FS then take it back & get a model that hasn't been built using old melted carrier bags . . . . .

Puts a whole new meaning to "every little helps"

Yes, Sony should've spent a bit more cash and bought Sainsburys carrier bags instead of the Netto ones.

Yeah
Either that or M&S ones
