5.0 out of 5 stars Performance Is In The Bag, December 16, 2008

This review is from: Targus Checkpoint-Friendly Corporate Traveler Case for 15.4 Inch Laptops CUCT02UA15S (Black) (Personal Computers)

(What's this?)

My first impression of the Targus Corporate Traveler Notebook Case is that it is designed and constructed very well.

The idea behind the Corporate Traveler's design is that it zips down across the center to let the case open like a clam shell, isolating your notebook on one side and all your accessories and files on the other. This allows the case to pass through TSA's scanner without having to remove the laptop from the case. I travel quite a bit with my notebook, and this feature really comes in handy when I'm fumbling through the airport's check-in process.

The ballistic nylon construction and Targus' SafePort Air-Cushion padding system provide great protection for my 15" Powerbook. The padding is also adjustable, which allows for a snug fit for smaller notebooks. This case features heavy-duty zippers with metal pulls and a very comfortable non-slip shoulder strap that has metal clips as well. Additionally, the carrying handles are wrapped in leather so the case feels very comfortable in my hands.

There are a lot of compartments in this case which afford more than enough space for my laptop's accessories and personal items when I travel. There is an accordion-type section that can easily house quite a bit of paperwork. (I was able to fit a book and a newspaper, along with some other paperwork.) Next to it is a small, zipped pocket for smaller items like a phone, PDA or an MP3 player. There is a zip-down compartment (Targus calls it a workstation) that has pen loops, a business card holder, and a clip for keys. There are also smaller compartments with velcro flaps for other accessories, and there's even a small zipped compartment for loose change. On the outside of the case is a fairly large pocket that can hold things that require immediately access, like a boarding pass or a passport.

Overall, I think this is a great notebook case. It is very well-constructed and even though it's fairly light, it feels very sturdy. Aside from traveling, I use this case on a daily basis, transporting my laptop to and from work. It replaces a Kensington Laptop BackPack, and although Targus' case is similar in size, it holds quite a bit more than the backpack. I highly recommend this case.

(What's this?)

From the outside this may seem like your average laptop case. It is made of nylon, fits up to 15.4 widescreen laptops and has features that are standard like a file folder storage compartment and a trolley strap (quite handy when traveling) in a black and elegant design. It also has a zip down workstation with enough space where you can fit many (if not all) the accessories you may have for your laptop.

What makes this product different is the "zip-thru" design, an enhancement in which the case opens right by the middle isolating the laptop from the accessories. This comes handy when traveling, as when passing through the airports x-ray scanning areas you will no longer need to remove the computer from the case, if you've been there you know how it is. Well, that's the competitive advantage this case has over others. Another nice thing it has is what they call the "Safeport" air cushion system, these are polyurethane pillows that surround the laptop protecting it from both side and vertical impacts.

This is a huge upgrade from my old laptop case and I am very happy with it. Keep in mind that the main advantages it offers are for people who constantly travel and pass through customs in the airports. Having that in mind, I highly recommend this item.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice bag but not for the packrat...., December 1, 2008

(What's this?)

I've got to say that this is a well made bag. The design is such that the bag folds open and you can "in theory" not have to take your laptop out of the bag going through the XRay at the airport.

Let's start with the bag. You've got a very large and well padded laptop pouch. I think that you can really drop this bag from table height and your laptop would be very well protected. The bag itself is well constructed ballistic nylon (or so it appears) and is quite sturdy. Handle is well made. And it comes with the shoulder strap of course. The other half of the bag consists of a smallish compartment for papers and batteries.

I would say that this would be great for a corporate traveler who is doing short jaunts or for someone who doesn't have a ton of accessories. But by the time I threw in my laptop, charger, iPod, charger, extra battery pack, mouse, pens, business cards and the rest of my crap, I really filled the other side. Then after shoving in business papers and a book, it was stuffed. So, if you travel light, it's great.

As for the other matter of getting through the airport, I've only taken two trips. One time, no problem. The other time, security still wanted the laptop out of the bag. So I don't know if every airport will require you to take it out or not.
