Good lightweight case

Aug 3, 2005 - By F. Mitchell

This is a good computer case in terms of being lightweight and having lots of pockets for storing things. My one reservation about it is that it's no more than about 40% leather; the rest is plastic (or pleather).

Great Quality

Aug 21, 2006 - By amy lynn (pennsylvania United States)

I had a hard time finding a laptop bag in the stores that was big enough for a 17 inch widescreen and when I did see a couple here and there they were of inferior quality. Then I came on Amazon and saw this one. This is the Perfect bag with ample room to store all you need. You can fit a lot in the bag besides the laptop. It contains several other compartments to store whatever else youd like to take along with you. The bag is made of high quality leather and has an adjustable strap you can either attach or just carry the bag by the handle. This is a very well made notebook holder and you will be proud to carry it. Highly Recommended/Good Value for the money.

"Excellent Product At A Very Reasonable Price"

Mar 24, 2006 - By R. Valenzuela (Miami, FL USA)

I own a HP Pavilion zd8000 laptop with a 17" screen and I wanted to buy a light leather case for it. I searched HP website and they highly recommended the Targus TLE400 for my laptop. I am glad I bought it because my laptob is already 9 lbs in weight and all the other cases for sale out there are too bulky and too heavy. This case is very light considering is made of leather, it only weights 5.1 lbs.
Even though is a light case and it will accomodate a 17" screen comfortably and you still have room for the power cord and other miscellaneous components you might need to carry with you.
It's rugged and I am sure that it will last me a long time but at the same time Targus offers a Limited Lifetime Warranty, so you can't go wrong.

No complaints

Jan 23, 2007 - By B. Dunn (OH, USA)

I've been using this case ever since I got my laptop back in early December, so after using it for two months now I can honestly say I have had no complaints. I can easily fit everything I need into the various pockets/compartments. Plenty of room for my power cable/adapter, USB full-sized mouse, car adapter, and even room for my portable USB speakers. I have a 17" laptop and it fits perfectly fine in the middle. I'm only a college student, not like a high-class business professional so I will admit I was a little skeptical when I got it that it would look maybe a little too "glossy" or something, but after a day or so I barely noticed and it really does look nice.

Great product and it definitely does what it's supposed to do, I recommend this product based on my use thus far.

A Quality Product

Jul 31, 2006 - By David Thompson (Moscow, ID United States)

My new MacBook Pro 17" fits the Targus TLE400 case with room to spare and padding to protect this expensive laptop. I also carry around the power adaptor, a mouse, file folders and paper for meetings, and frequently a GPS sensor. The case is relatively lightweight, but made of good material. The leather is very nice, but there is also a lot of plastic in this case. However, it is also of good quality. I like the rubber skids on the bottom of the case and the double zippers for most closures. The removable velcro mesh pocket is great for storing the Mac's power adaptor and an ethernet cable. I never use the cell phone pocket, but I do use the pencil/pen holders and the various size pockets for media, spare batteries, etc. I enjoy the comfortable shoulder carrying strap, but I frequently also use the smaller handles when picking up or moving the case/computer. I would buy it again.
