Case Logic 17.3-Inch Laptop Bag (VNCI-217),Black

Very durable, good zipper, nice style, overall great fit.

Five stars from me for quality, practicality, spaciousness, comfort, and appearance. My review is based on product vs. price and what the product actually is, not what I wish it were.This attractive case has plenty of room for your 17" laptop along with its power cord and mouse. Its padded outside zippered pocket will comfortably hold portable hard drives, cell phones, and other small items while keeping them safe from knocks and bangs.Ample inside cushioning affords worry-free transporting of your laptop, but I wouldn't suggest pitching the case into the trunk of your car. Other than that, your laptop will easily survive the usual unexpected hits and bumps.The case has a very comfortable padded handle and an adjustable shoulder strap, which is comfortable enough in that it cannot dig into your shoulder, and the easy-pull zippers function quite smoothly.This bag is obviously not a top-of-the-line case, but dollar for dollar it's a very good buy.BOTTOM LINE: Buy it.

It is durable, but lightweight. I liked it so much a bought another one for our other laptop.Space:Have 17.3 in laptop. It fit with room to spare. I could fit the power adapter, usb keyboard (I hate laptop keypads), and usb mouse with room to spare for a folder of notes, a book, and my tablet. (Still had room to spare after that).Pockets:The outside zippered pocket has 3 mini-pockets (open-unzippered) that are approximately 3.5x3.5 in. It also has 2 elastic bands to hold pens. you can use the rest of this pocket to hold a couple paper backs, your tablet/e-reader (or both), or a file folder (however, the file folder will be a bit too tall and you won't be able to zip the pocket closed). To me, this was an allowable trade-off for a case that can hold a lot of gear and not be bulky. I'm a klutz and the strap has slipped off my shoulder letting the bag hit the ground...my computer is fine.Look and feel:The nylon canvas is good quality (tightly woven). It doesn't look cheap and holds up well (doesn't snag easily or fray easily).Inside the main compartment is a large pocket, this is the one I would recomend to hold file folders and other papers. It is an open pocket, but since it is in the main compartment, you wouldn't need a zipper anyway. This is long enough it could hold a legal sized folder.Padding:The padding is about half an inch thick on all sides except the bottom (opposite of the handle). On the bottom it is a bit thinner. The seams are along the bottom on either side, so the corners aren't as protected.

For the money it would be hard to expect more. This case is made of a very durable nylon-type material with strong stitching. It's adequately cushioned and will provide a reasonable amount of shock protection, meaning I wouldn't worry about banging it against a table or counter top while turning but I'm not sure I'd want to drop it from hip-height, especially not on-edge. My 17.3" HP Envy dv7 fits well and since that is a slim laptop there is room for a binder and large notepad along with it in the main compartment and I find that very convenient. It would be nice if there was a 2nd strap for securing the laptop in place inside that compartment, it doesn't make sense to me why there is only one and that one off-center. The outside pocket has enough room for an extra battery (or two) and headphones; I also stuck some pens, blank disks and flash drives in there. I imagine that storage for flash drives is the purpose for the 3 small pockets inside that side pocket, I don't see any other use for them yet. The strap is strong and quite long enough to allow me to sling the laptop around my neck and shoulder, making carrying hands-free easy. I'm very happy with this case and expect to get a lot of use out it.

Bought this thing for work and for on-the-go gaming. I have a newer Samsung Series 7 laptop in here (the ivy bridge/kepler one.) and I couldn't be happier.It has plenty of space inside the main compartment for my laptop (17 inches- and still has room for more.) and the power brick (which is bigger than most.)- you could easily fit an ASUS G-Series + power supply in the main compartment.The front of the laptop has a big nice pocket, which seems like it never fills. Currently, I have a wireless mouse (regular size), headphones, iPhone charger, x2 GoFlex portable hard drives + USB adapter, and a Storm of Swords (A big, thick, paper back book.) and I still have room for more. I am also surprised that the despite being packed the front pocket never seems to bulge.There is also another pocket inside the main compartment, almost the flap, which fits any tablet of your choice nicely. I normally use it to tout around my WACOM tablet and iPad. They fit in there rather nicely.The strap is good and supportive. Does not feel flimsy. I guess the material the bad is made out of is nice. Not too scratchy. Zippers function great. Never had any of them stick on me yet.I do want to talk about, what I think, is the unsung hero of this bag. The handle. It is awesome. It straddles the line or reality and somehow is a state of squishy and firm. It feels great is all i can say. I often find myself just grabbed the handle and squishing it in my hands. It feels like a stress ball.Overall, I think this bag does a hell of a job. And the price of the thing! Super cheap. I think you would be hard pressed to find a bag of similar quality and size at a close price point.TL;DR This is pretty much a bag of holding (It's a D&D item. Bag of holding = a magic bag than can hold things larger than its own size.)

great bag and produdct. nice protection all around. have used for years. highly recommend.
