Great value, especially for the price

Terrific item. It has more room than most people will need, is durable and looks professional as well. For this price, it's a no-brainer.

Inferior to an older laptop case

Our family has 2 laptops and one laptop case, so I ordered this one for the 2nd computer. I am comparing it to an old beat-up Dell laptop case. The Dell case wins.

Here are the differences:

1. The Dell case lets you secure the computer with 2 straps. This Caselogic case has only 1 strap. The computer is less firmly secured and shifts around a little bit. It's no big deal, but the Dell case wins.

2. The Dell case, when you unzip the computer compartment, lifts up to expose pockets of varying sizes. You can put lots of useful things in the pockets, like a satellite modem, thumb drives, business cards, pencils and pens. The Caselogic bag has a single mesh pocket in the computer area. If you want to access the accessory pockets, you need to turn the bag around and unzip it again which is slightly less convenient.

3. The Dell case has a large file-folder size pocket on the outside that closes with velcro. The Caselogic has a small, boarding-pass side pocket on the outside that zips.

So after trying them both for a few days, I decided I like the Dell case better.

Good value...

Nicely padded, materials better than I expected in this price range, thoughtful design (e.g. main compartment opens all the way, divider in main compartment holds legal folders, side compartment has multiple pockets for organizing accessories, strap on back allows mounting on handle of rolling luggage). Just to nitpick, I would say that I would feel slghtly more secure if the clips for the straps were all metal instead of plastic.

Flimsy

My 17" Lenovo Thinkpad fits, but it doesn't look very secure. I think they should have included 2 or even 3 velcro straps instead of just 1. One side of my laptop always seems to be moving around (since the laptop compartment is relatively deep). The bag itself also seems to bend a little when using the shoulder strap. Not too much, but it's noticeable.

Be aware that this is not a full sized suitcase. It's obvious, but thought I'd mention it. If you have a large laptop, there will not be much room for non-laptop related items. In my case, the laptop goes in the main compartment, while the front pocket contains the charger, a mouse, earphones, a small notepad, pens/pencils. There is no space for a college textbook. Look elsewhere for a case that has an extra large compartment if that's important to you.

However, there is a tight slot inside the laptop compartment where you can fit a magazine or a bunch of documents (it's probably meant for CDs, but since it's not zipped the CDs often slide out).

It's OK for occasionally carrying a laptop from point A to point B. However, IMO it's not robust enough to be your main everyday laptop case.
