5.0 out of 5 stars Very convenient case, November 1, 2005

I checked this case in the Sony store before purchasing through Amazon because I was afraid it wouldn't fit my 15.4" Sony Vaio but it fits perfectly! I find this case extremely convenient, light, easy to handle. I leave my notebook inside this case at home and it is not a pain to deal with, inside the AC adapter case I can also fit my mouse. It gives the notebook extra protection. But if you want a case to carry around a lot, you probably need something more sturdy and with a handle or you can use this one inside a bag, etc.

3.0 out of 5 stars Well constructed, Some drawbacks, August 16, 2008

I use this with a Thinkpad T61. Fit is good and the sewing seems well done. I've had the unit for about seven months as I write this.

This is a lightly padded, soft case which seems to be designed to protect the laptop when it's carried inside another bag. It does meet expectations for that protection. The drawbacks are:
1. Inserting or removing the laptop is invariably a two-handed operation. I've found that other cases with more rigidity are easier in this regard. Additionally, the case sticks to the Thinkpad's porous case, and I need to peel it off sometimes.

2. The neoprene material is a Velcro(TM) magnet, getting caught regularly on my courier bag's fastener.

The smaller ditty bag is a good size to hold the charger and mouse I often carry.

So...satisfactory, good points and bad points seem to even out. Three stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nearly Perfect for a Dell e1505, July 12, 2006

This review is from: Sony Neoprene Notebook and AC Adapter Cases (VGP-AMC3) (Personal Computers)

Manufacturer dimensions are 2.5" x 14" x 10.25", a loose fit on a Dell e1505 1.5" x 14" x 10.5" (Listed product detail dimensions are, according to Sony, for the VGP-AMC5). AC adapter sleeve 2.5" x 9" x 4". Perfect for additional laptop protect and organizing a few extras. AC adapter sleeve is fully lined and has a elastic strap to help secure the power supply and internal zippered pocket for small accessories. There may even be room for a small mouse, depending on the size of your power supply. Excellent value if you can find it for less than $17 w/ free shipping (I brought it at Buy. com).

Don't get this for a stand alone case. While the neoprene is a good 8th of an inch thick, it will only offer protection from minor bumps. This is best used as added protection for another carrying case (which is what I bought it for).
