Perfect fit, February 27, 2010
This review is from: Laurex 1775BS 17-Inch Laptop Sleeve Case Bag with Handle and Shoulder Strap (Black) (Personal Computers)
I just purchased a 17.3" Toshiba Satellite laptop and did not realize how difficult it would be to find a sleeve that would fit it. After a lot of web searching and a lot of careful measuring, I ordered this bag. I was concerned my laptop would be too thick to fit in. It turns out it fits perfectly; it's not too snug, just right. And the quality of the bag is pretty good too.

Great for commuter flights, September 6, 2010
This review is from: Laurex 1775BS 17-Inch Laptop Sleeve Case Bag with Handle and Shoulder Strap (Black) (Personal Computers)
I have a 17" Dell Precision Mobile WorkStation M6500. Its dimensions are 15.4"/393mm wide x 11.0"/280.5mm deep x 1.5"/38.5mm and it weighs 8.4 lbs (not counting the huge power brick). I purchased a Targus CPT700US rolling case to carry the laptop, but it is unfortunately too large for the overhead bin in American Eagle's Embraer commuter jets that I frequently fly on. This little sleeve case provides a great solution for my carry-on problem. It is just the right size to hold my laptop with accessories and to slip into the padded laptop compartment of my rolling case. When I gate check my rolling Targus case (with my overnight essentials), I simply pull the sleeve case out to securely carry the laptop onto the plane. The neoprene construction provides light padding, is sturdy enough to carry my heavy laptop, and compact enough to easily fit in the overhead, or as I prefer, under the seat. The side zipper compartment is large enough to accommodate my HUGE power brick, my phone charger and a paperback. The design is feminine without looking juvenile.
There are two minor things that could be improved: The first would be a better sliding shoulder strap pad. The thin nubby rubber pad does little to alleviate shoulder fatigue. However, this is a fairly insignificant issue for me because I only carry the bag for limited distances: from the gate onto the plane, from the gate to the baggage claim, and to and from my car when I take my laptop home from work. If it becomes a problem, the thin pad could be readily replaced with a better pad from one of my other black shoulder bags. The second improvement would be to put the rougher "hook" side of the Velcro on the flap instead of the side of the bag. If you are not paying attention and allow the flap to slip inside the case, the hook portion of the Velcro is exposed and can snag delicate clothing. Nonetheless, I give the bag 5 stars because I consider both issues minor quibbles.

Good compact travel bag for my laptop, March 1, 2011
This review is from: Laurex 1775BS 17-Inch Laptop Sleeve Case Bag with Handle and Shoulder Strap (Black) (Personal Computers)
I have owned this bag for less than a year and the zipper/strap hook have pulled out from the bag fabric. It still works, but looks worn. I use this bag on few occasions (1-2 times/month) for 70-100 mile road trips.
The feel and versatility are great for what I need/want. The space in the pockets is sufficient to hold my mouse and power supply.
