Product Description

Who says your computer case has to be clunky and ugly to protect what's inside? Built's Laptop Portfolio Case is sleek and elegant. We use extra-durable strong-rib weave, a unique grade of neoprene especially made to protect divers against punctures and abrasions from coral. Best of all, slide it in and as it conforms to the size of your computer, its unique bone shape creates an instant built-in bumper system for extra protection.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good but a little pricey, April 25, 2007

By	F. Wang (CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Built Laptop Portfolio Case - Black (Electronics)

This fits a Dell 620 Notebook with extended battery, a file folder, and composition sized notebook. I use this to tote my notebook to work and home plus a few papers. It seems to do pretty well except for the slight smell, slick fabric that causes the case to slide when you set it down, and the single zip instead of more convenient double zip. The size is about right for the Dell 620 but a little too large for my Apple macbook.

The case is cushy enough but not as shock absorbent as the Zero Shock neoprene cases. However, the Built NY Laptop case comes with handles, a strap and a small pocket that can hold file folders. I find using the handle more convenient and secure than hugging a notebook to my chest, which is the situation you're in if you purchase a handle-less notebook sleeve. Just try running across a campus, juggling the laptop, a small stack of papers, and most likely a hot caffeinated beverage without dropping something. That's two hands full and you won't easily be able to open the door. Get a case with handles/strap. The strap also detaches, is adjustable, and has a cushioned shoulder section (but yet again no anti-slip grip coating).

If Built NY would add a slightly tacky coating to the bottom (or even just dots of it along the corners) so the case can lean against a desk leg without sliding to the ground, and with a double bi-directional zipper often found on sporting jackets/luggage, it would be a solid 5 stars.

1.0 out of 5 stars Avoid this bag if you want your computer protected, November 16, 2008

We had this bag less than a month before the cheap plastic strap connector broke and sent my brand new macbook pro onto the ground. In addition to having a fairly expensive (now junk) bag, my new computer was dented in the corner voiding the warranty. This bag is horrible and overpriced too!

2.0 out of 5 stars Built NY Bags are very Poor Quality, February 6, 2008

By	M. Hughes "Spox" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Built Laptop Portfolio Case - Chocolate Brown (Electronics)

Purchased two of these bags for my wife at Christmas. She used one of the bags for about 3 weeks befor the pocket snap broke off. Very cheap aluminum snap that breaks very easy. The shoulder strap end ring that is connected to the bag is already lose and ready to come off. These bags look great and my wife and her friends loved them, but they are so cheaply made that they won't last long. Fair Warning
