4.0 out of 5 stars A Bit Too Heavy, November 20, 2000

This review is from: Targus OUD1 CUD1/OUD1 - Deluxe Universal Notebook Case [Koskin] (Personal Computers)

Good Design, but can't put notebook vertically in the compartment. Weight is 6.1lb, adding the notebook 7.5lb + ac adapter etc, it's quite heavy to carry around. Otherwise, it's a good notebook case in other sense.

1.0 out of 5 stars $100 Piece of Junk, January 9, 2005

THE GOOD:<ol>

<li>Looks nice from the outside.</li>

<li>Fits a 16 inch wide laptop and 6 inch battery.</li>

<li>Full Length File Pocket are useful for quick storing loose papers.</li>

</ol>

THE BAD:

<ol>

<li>Straps Damage Your Computer - The noisy Velcro straps that are to protect my computer from moving around inside have actually rubbed off the silver color on my computer to the white plastic underneath.</li>

<li>It Falls Over - It has plastic feet on the bottom, yet it and its +$2000 contents fall over. It has to be leaning next to something just set it down. </li>

<li>Six Pounds - Doesn't seem that much, but after carrying it around all day with a 11 pound computer inside it turns out to be real good exercise for your arms.</li>

<li>Noisy - I have to pull 4 noisy Velcro straps and 4 zippers to get the computer and mouse out, which always turns a few heads.</li>

<li>Painful Shoulder Strap - It's narrow and oddly shaped with very little cushion. I'd rather have my hands cramp up than have it dig into my shoulder.</li>

<li>Eight Useless Pockets - Why would I store my cell phone behind 18 inches of Velcro and 2 zippers if I intended to answer it? Out of the 5 pockets under the 18 inch Velcro and 2 zippers, I only use one to cram my retractable mouse in. My calculator won't fit in any of them. There are 4 more flat pockets, but important papers would get dog eared and anything else would create odd budges if you used them for storage.</li>

</ol>

$100 isn't cheap for something that actually harms to your computer. This case is getting replaced and going in the trash where it belongs.

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Targus OUD1 CUD1/OUD1 - Deluxe Universal Notebook Case [Koskin] (Personal Computers)

Excellent product. I have used it for about 10 years now and it had held up to all the hauling around. The original handle gave out twice and a replacement was sent free each time. I was amazed that it was very easy to replace.
It has a shoulder strap, but I don't use it. I have never found any shoulder strap that was comfortable. It will fall over if you over stuff it. I also realized when I first bought it that the top of the lap tap would be better protected if it was placed upside down so the bottom of the laptop was exposed to the straps and the pockets while the top was protected by the padded cushion inside. The side zippers can be secured and locked together.
