Nice quality and looks durable. Read more

As the title states, this is s great bag especially if you need more than just a travel pocket for your computer. Well-built, good protection for my laptop, separate compartments that easily accommodate charger, mouse, files, pens, etc. Not too big. Just right. Read more

Great bag, but no place to store the shoulder strap and one-way zippers on front are unfortunate. Read more

Targus is the only way to go. I have this case for a 15.4 Toshiba and a different Targus case for a 17 inch Dell laptop. I looked at all the cases at the big box office supply and computer stores and Targus is superior. Better padding to protect the computer from bumps, great inside pockets and the Zip Thru feature can't be beat. I've never had to remove the computer while using Zip Thru at airport screening. Only one TSA employee has ever said anything about it and that was to show appreciation because it made their job easier. There's plenty of room for the computer, accessories (power cord, mouse, head phones, flash drive, etc.), cell phone, work documents, a magazine for the trip, and a bottle of Mountain Dew and bag of Doritos to eat on the plane.

My husband likes his computer case. Read more

I have been using a previous version of this bag for more than 20 years. It was made with leather and was very heavy, but it sure lasted a long time. The metal hooks that held the strap on finally wore through so I bought this new one. The new version is made of synthetic material. It has less storage space but is still adequate, and is much lighter. The shoulder strap, however, it totally inadequate. The bag was constantly slipping off my shoulder from day one. It fell on the ground twice. So, I had to order a nonslip shoulder pad from another supplier to better protect my computer. The Pro Tec deluxe with neoprene pad was a good fit and doesn't slip at all. With that change, I am happy. So, if you buy this, plan on spending some extra $ on a better shoulder pad. It they sold it with a good pad I would rate it 5 stars. As is, it's 3 tops. Read more

Overall, it is 16 x 14 x 5. Exactly the dimensions I was looking for. There is a paper divider in the main compartment and the zip-in-half feature works well to store even more paper/magazines. At the bottom of the laptop section there is a removable foam bar encased in plastic which is velcroed to the bottom of the bag which cushions your laptop from any bumps from setting it down (or hitting the bottom of my bike rack). See the photo I uploaded for more information. One thing to note... the shoulder strap attaches to the same half on each side. I note this because other variations attach at either side of the split, which allows you to open it all the way and still fling it over your shoulder without zipping it up and allows it to hang perpendicular. This one does not, so you will need to zip it up before proceeding past the security section (or use the handle -- assuming that the TSA agent does not force you to remove the notebook). Plus it hangs at an angle, pressing into you as you carry it. Not a big problem, but I think it is worth noting and I would have probably preferred it otherwise. The one downside of this case... it protects your stuff and divides it to make everything easily accessible so well that it becomes a bit bulky and heavy and does not hold as much as I'd like. However I deliberately avoided a messenger bag for that lack of padding and organization. <Update - after using it one month, it is already starting to show signs of wear. I am shoving it into a metal basket when I bike to work, so it is getting more abuse than normal, however I did not anticipate that the nylon fabric would be catching and starting to tear on both sides. It looks quite bad in appearance. I am currently contemplating returning it just for this factor. Not sure tho that anything I replace it with would wear any better. My 20 year old Northface Backpack, which I am shoving into the other basket is not showing any signs of wear - it still looks fairly new.> Read more
