In theory, a carrying case that holds and protects both your laptop and tablet sounds good on paper. Unfortunately, The Case Logic MLA-116 15.6-Inch Laptop and iPad® Attaché fails in both functionality and protection. The MLA-116 is a lightweight case that offers minimal protection to begin with. Protection to your iPad is almost non-existent if you plan on carrying it in the case with your laptop. The interior of the case has an iPad pocket for storage, with basically no protection from it being damaged from contact with the laptop. I won't even attempt to transport both my tablet and laptop together in the MLA-116. Storage is somewhat limited too. You have a pouch on the from which secures with Velcro, and an open pocket on the back of the case. If you want to use the MLA-116 as a lighweight laptop case, it will serve that purpose. But protection is minimal, and the current $45-$50 price tag is just too high for a nylon carrying case. The Case Logic MLA-116 Laptop and iPad® Attaché is described as being "thickly padded" with "spacious storage". I find this grossly exaggerated, and just not the case. I just can not recommend the Case Logic MLA-116 15.6-Inch Laptop and iPad® Attaché for it's intended purpose of transporting a laptop and iPad all in one case.
