This full-featured attaché is the perfect size for any compact computer – small enough to travel light but big enough to carry business, travel and commuting necessities. The no-nonsense design and optimized storage give this attaché more value dollar-for-dollar than traditional laptop cases.

Materials

High-quality materials are used throughout this exceptionally crafted attaché, which is backed by a 25 year warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. This 14.1" attaché is available in two colors: black and brown. The black features a durable dobby nylon exterior that adds texture and protection for your device. Exterior material on the brown is polyester twill which is as durable as the nylon with a soft texture that complements the unique color. Contrasting lining pops against the exterior color and allows easy visibility of the contents of your bag. Dense foam padding in the laptop compartment provides secure protection for your device during transport. Padded carry handles and removable shoulder strap with swivel hardware add comfort.

Speed Pocket™

The Speed Pocket™ on the front panel provides immediate access to your small essentials like keys, a wallet, ID or passport, cash and other small items. A vertical hidden zipper opens top to bottom to keep contents from spilling out while accessing the pocket.

Power Pocket™

Elevated organization panel stores your cell phone, MP3 player, a portable mouse and/or other devices in scratch-resistant slip pockets, suspending them above the bottom of the case which leaves room for a power brick and cords. Elastic pen loops and built-in neoprene USB pocket keep these small items easily accessible and ready when you need them.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice, but be sure this is what you want ..., March 22, 2010

This review is from: Case Logic VNA-216 16-Inch Laptop Attache (Black) (Personal Computers)

(What's this?)

This is a well-made but relatively inexpensive bag for a laptop PC. It is so light that I can barely feel its weight, but it still has sufficient padding to protect its contents against bumps during everyday use.

This is NOT the kind of case with zippers that can be pulled further to the left and right sides when you open the bag. In other words, the opening for you to put in and take out things is very small. Does this matter? Yes, if you have a laptop PC that measures diagonally 15.6 to 16 inches. The fit is snug, and because of the narrow opening, putting in and taking out a computer is not that smooth and easy. Although the zippers are plastic, there is a chance of them scraping against the computer's edges. I would not recommend this case if you have concerns about this aspect. If your computer is a netbook, which is about 10 inches diagonal, then this case will be fine.

There is an USB thumb drive pocket in the main compartment, where the computer is stored, but I feel it is not a good location, because it is likely to chafe against the laptop computer. There are two side pockets. I use the larger one to store AC adapter, cord, mouse pad, and mouse.

I deem this bag more suitable for carrying smaller laptops. It is not suitable for 15.6 to 16-inch laptops because of the tight fit.


Update (2-4-2011):

Case Logic has another 16-inch case that zipper opens three sides instead of just one. It is called Case Logic VNCi-116 Value 16-Inch Laptop Briefcase. It will easily fit any 16-inch notebook computer. Even my 17.3-inch HP DV7 can be accommodated in the case. You can read my review on its web page on Amazon.com.

5.0 out of 5 stars very well padded, March 24, 2010

This review is from: Case Logic VNA214 14.1-Inch Laptop Attache (Black) (Personal Computers)

(What's this?)

This laptop bag is very well padded inside that I almost wanted this bad for
my cameras. The design looks very simple, yet the interior pockets and
padding are very well made. Because of its cloth material, it feels little
bit cheap, but then again it is very light. There is also enough room for
two laptops, maybe one 13 inch Mac book Pro and a 10 inch Net book, with all
the power blocks in the front pocket. There is an additional small pocket
for a cell phone or other small accessories, and I liked this pocket a lot
because it is easy to reach, not to mention its location is convenient. I
could not find any cons about this bag, not only because it comes with a
shoulder strap, but also because it has a "25 Years Quality Guarantee"
stamp. I probably won't use this bag for 25 years, but it is good to know
that the company guarantees its product. Also, if one prefers to use this
bag for carrying light, thin books/notebooks for classes or conferences,
this bad works well for this purpose as well. For this bag's weight and
quality, the price is ideal.

4.0 out of 5 stars VNA-210: Nice little bag!, March 9, 2010

This review is from: Caselogic VNA210 10.2-Inch Netbook/iPad Attache (Black) (Personal Computers)

The Caselogic VNA-210 is a nice little attache-style case for netbooks or other small electronics. It is constructed from lightweight nylon and polyester (not neoprene foam), and features a large device compartment and two front pockets for accessories.

There is a decent amount of padding on the front and back of the main compartment for protection. The largest of the accessories pockets has internal pockets for a cellphone/mp3 player, usb flash drive, plus a couple of pen loops to keep it all organized. The vertical front pocket could only fit something small flat, as there is little-to-no gusset room here. A removable shoulder strap is also included.

The attache design means that the zipper to the main compartment only opens to just around the top corners. Although the VNA-210 states it fits netbooks '7 inches to 10.2 inches', it does not fit all 10.1" netbooks, so make sure you measure first. According to the tag, the main device compartment of the VNA-210 has internal dimensions of/will only accommodate a netbook up to 10.5 x 7.7 x 1.5" (26.6 x 19.5 x 3.9 cm).

Overall, the Caselogic VNA-210 seems a well-constructed, lightweight, sturdy little case that is very suited for small netbooks and/or other electronics on the go.
