I did some research on this case after getting sticker shock at the Apple store. I wanted a case that fit the 13" MacBook Pro snugly, but also had room for peripherals and other things. This case was great. It feels sturdy enough to take a short drop without allowing damage to the stuff on the inside, and it has plenty of pockets for your stuff. The MacBook Pro (13") slips nicely into the one slot with no play or movement. There are a good selection of pockets in the front. I have a portable USB drive that I cart around for using Time Machine on the go. I also keep a USB key, ethernet cable, usb hub, apple cds and macbook manual, vga adapter cable, portable mouse, usb card reader (for Compact Flash), and a few other odds and ends.

If you are carrying more than that for your laptop, you might want to consider a suitcase. This bag is great. I ordered one for my boss too, and he loves it.

Well, I had just bought a Dell XPS M1210, and it didn't come with a case...and I figured I needed one for when I wanted to travel. I browsed online and read a review saying how "so and so" bought this case for his XPS so I decided to give it a try. This case is well worth the money. I go to college and I put my class books in along with the computer itself. It has a lot of compartments for my things, keys, mouse, pens, calculator, phone and other things. The strap is comfortable and I like the fact that it can stand up on it's own. Overall this case is an excellent buy.

This case fully protects my new Dell 1210. I particularly like the suspension system built into this case that fully surrounds the computer and isolates it from shock on every side. This case would accomodate a somewhat larger laptop, but for the M1210 the size is ideal. There is ample room between the computer and case, inside the main compartment, to carrry the electrical cord and "brick."

The zippered accessory pouch on the front has room for a mouse; pens/pencils; several discs; a checkbook/day planner or airline tickets; etc. A small zippered pouch inside the accessory area is large enough to securely carry several "thumb-drives." In the upper corners of the case and on the outside are two small zippered compartments which neatly hold my Verizon USB broadband modem and headphones.

The back has two zippered pouches which are large enough to carry folded papers and a mouse pad, not much else. There is a also a velcro secured band that serves to attach the bag to the handle of your "roll-on/carry on" wheeled bag.

The weakest part of this bag is the relatively slight amount of paper/folder storage. There is some storage, large enough for a letter size folder in the main case with the computer, but no other area large enough for carrying standard sheet paper without folding.

I got this bag for my 13.3 inch Toshiba U305. It has a very comfortable handle and strap. I would guess that it could accommodate 15 inch laptops as well. It could be 2 inches smaller in all dimensions to still hold the 13.3 inch laptop. The size of the bag will not let you easily store papers or notebooks. I am pleased with the purchase and have recommended it to friends looking for a bag.

The Caselogic TNC-13 is just perfect as a case for the working net/laptop units that are hitting the market. It is well-made and has space for all the extras that a computer-toting analyst would want. This is the one "standard" protective case that hold everything including external drives and mice and cables, etc.
