5.0 out of 5 stars Just what I wanted, just what I needed!, August 10, 2007

By	G. Martin "soixantaine" (Glendale, Ca.) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was a little skeptical about buying a notebook case online.
I thought it might be better to see the merchandise in person at a retailer. As I started my search which included Best Buy, Frys, Circuit City websites I still didn't find anything that looked liked it was worth the $30 to $70 asking price or anything that really caught my eye for that matter!

Lastly I tried Old Amazon and ran across this little gem!!

It looked just right, right up my alley, but I thought something might be wrong with it because the price was so low! Then I saw the name which is a brand name and made my decision to get this one. And when it arrived and I open the box I knew I had a quailty product and was very pleased!

My 15.4 laptop fits into it like a glove. Its padded on both sides, top and bottom. It is made of quaility nylon, with quaility zippers, and snap locks. The handle is made of nylon wrapped in a rubber grip, so that your hand is protected from the thin nylon grip itself. Good design feature and adds extra style to the overall look of the case itself. As you can see from the photos above it has pockets to store and carry extra items.
It also has a nice wide shoulder strap, with solid plastic snap hooks, and the nylon itself is of the hi-quailty dense knit type! This is a very handsome case! And it's the type of case that anyone would be proud to carry into any office meeting or internet cafe!! Its that nice and looks like it cost a $100 instead of $20!!

Great case, great buy! I'm real satisfied!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great laptop case for the price, February 16, 2006

By	John Stodola (Bethesda, Maryland) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I don't understand why laptop cases are so expensive. This is the exception - great price - study construction - nice strap- PC tiedowns.

Only negative is that it does not have a great volume of storage space in addition to the laptop compartment. It's fine for a power brick and cords, cables, accessory mouse, and a couple of pads and pencils. But if you carry a lot of manuals or other bulky items, look for an expandable briefcase instead.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice case, but not for me (picture is NOT accurate!), May 14, 2008

By	Dumdummuoi (California, USA) - See all my reviews

I had to return this case, because the picture of the compartments provided by Amazon is not accurate. Compare it with the customer-submitted photos, you'll see that Amazon's picture has two extra compartments--the one that holds the folder and the one directly below that. The actual product does NOT have those compartments. I returned it for that reason, because I need more organizational space than that.

Having said that, I'll say that upon first inspection, this case appears to be of decent quality (though I would've preferred metal hooks for the shoulder strap). And a big plus is it provides something I want but have yet to find in another case of similar price: a messenger flap for quick-loading, AND a zipper over the laptop compartment for extra protection in case it rains.
