I got this "attache" thinking it sounded perfect for carrying my ipad along with a few additional items when in the car or walking around or boarding an airplane. Unfortunately, this attache is definitely not designed for an ipad. To protect my ipad during everyday use, I have it in the standard Apple ipad case (See
Apple iPad Case (CASE-ZML MC361ZM/A) ). The Apple ipad case is very slim and barely adds any width around the dimensions of the ipad. However, I cannot realistically fit my ipad (using its Apple case) into this Case Logic attache. It's a very tight fit, but I can force the ipad into the attache with wiggling. However, getting it out again is very difficult. It makes the attache basically unusable for the ipad+case. And, as other reviewers have pointed out, I wouldn't want to put an ipad with no protective case into this attache. Yes, it would slide in/out a tiny bit better, but then you would be very limited as to what you could put inside the attache with the exposed screen of the ipad for fear of scratching it. The case is approximately 2" deep, so it's not supposed to be for holding only an ipad, with nothing else. I think if you had a netbook of the right size, this would be a nice sized attache for holding it and a book or other small items for your day. Just not an ipad.
As for the other features of this attache...
The description says: "The front pocket expands via color-lined expansion slits to comfortably carry power cords and other accessories". I do not agree. It is not truly an expandable pocket. It's a simple zipper opening into a non-expandable pocket on the front. So, if you had the main compartment full (with your netbook, etc), there is not a lot of room for bulky items in the front pocket. From the description, I thought the color slits would pop out to allow expansion, but, they do not do anything at all. There is simply a layer of color with the slits. Not sure what the purpose of that is, other than "looks".
On the plus side, the strap has a nice velcro system for easily making a longer shoulder strap or shorter hand strap. Also, the padding of the case is thin. This could be a plus or minus, depending on what your are looking for. To me it's a plus, as the super thick padding of many other cases uses up interior space and makes the cases heavy. But, if thick is what you are looking for, this isn't it.
So, in conclusion... Don't buy this for an ipad. If you have a netbook that is narrower than an ipad width, then this case would work for you to carry your netbook, maybe a paperback book and some other items for a day on the go. The padding is very thin, so plan for that. So, a lightweight carry-around case for a netbook.
PS - I was torn about how many stars to rate this attache. Since it's marketed for an ipad, it should get 0 stars for that blatant marketing lie. But, for those who want a lightweight case for a netbook, this may fit the bill, as long is you understand the pros and cons of what you are getting. However, the marketing description is again very misleading about the expanding front pouch. So, I decided to go with 2 stars.
