4.0 out of 5 stars Really Nice Case With Some Exceptions, April 16, 2008

This is a really nice case for carrying a Macbook and a variety of accessories. As I am not a backpack kind of guy, I needed a case that could transport my Macbook, as well as all my needful accessories ( power cord, mouse, remote, etc ). Surprisingly, there are not a lot of compact cases to choose from that accommodate all these things. The Marware case seemed the best choice.
I like the feel of the case. Orca skin is a nice touch. The roomy zippered compartment is plenty adequate for my storage needs. A semi-rigid frame provides good protection for the notebook. The notebook compartment features a lined nylon zipper to protect from scratches when taking out or putting the Macbook away. The compartment itself is plush lined to baby my Mac. All in all, a very nice case.
I do have two concerns though. First of all, the case simply will not stand upright as it is pictured in the ad display. The orca skin wraparound results in a rounded bottom causing the case to be completely unstable when resting on its bottom. Plan on laying it down when you put it down, if you don't, it will ungracefully lay itself down for you!
Secondly, the notebook compartment needs to open more widely. The zipper barely extends beyond the top corners of the case making one hand loading or unloading of the notebook somewhat difficult.
I give this case 4 stars for being very good in most important respects. I just wish it would stand up and open up !

5.0 out of 5 stars Looking for a case and NOT a sleeve?, February 21, 2007

Love it. Absolutely perfect if your looking for a case and not a sleeve. One pocket holds my Macbook nice and snug while the other pocket has plenty of room for my mouse, iPod, chargers et cetera. Outer pockets (one zipped, one open) are plenty fine for some paperwork or a couple of magazines. The Shoulder strap has a non-slip pad so it works wonderfully well even when the case is pretty full. Marware did a very good job with the design and construction of this product. The zippers (on the computer pocket) are lined so no need to worry about zipper scratches. Great product.

I was looking for the right case to transport my MacBook and this is it. It's compact, versatile, and very well constructed. My MacBook fits perfectly inside (it was after all designed specifically for the MacBook) and it has pockets designed specifically for the power adapter, your iPod, etc. It even goes so far as to have a small insulated hole in the accessory pouch to keep headphones connected to your iPod while it's in the bag.

While it doesn't have a lot of extra storage room, it can comfortably hold a small amount of papers and accessories. If you lug around a ton of paperwork look elsewhere. If you're looking for a small compact bag that fits your Macbook perfectly, look no further!
