1.0 out of 5 stars
Great idea, bad design, September 18, 2009
This review is from: Built E-LP15-BLK 15.4-Inch Platform Wide Laptop Case (Black) (Personal Computers)
This is the third Built NY product I've purchased for my laptop (15" MacBook Pro) and it is inferior in design to their other items. First, the soft, zippered, top portion of the sleeve has diagonal elastics on the corners designed to wrap around the edges of the laptop screen; however, this portion of the sleeve is too long when the sleeve is open, so it's at best an awkward fit. Second, I don't know about you, but sometimes I like to use my laptop plugged in, an impossibility (and egregious design oversight) with this product. The power cord will not fit or stay plugged in when you have your laptop sitting in the base of the sleeve. I'm really surprised this usually great company made something so awkward and ergonomically insensitive. Too bad, because it's a great idea, made of high quality materials, and is a good looking product. Needless to say, I'll be returning this.
