 Perfect for Air Travel |

I took my laptop -- as well as my Blackberry, Kindle, organizer, chargers, billfold, glasses, tickets, water bottle, and a bunch of other stuff -- through big and small airports last week, packed in this great Case Logic case. As other people wrestled their laptops out of their cases, juggled them with their shoes and suit jackets, and in one case dropped it on the floor, I opened a couple of zippers, laid the case flat on the conveyor, and sailed through the line.
That security-friendly feature would be enough to make this a great travel case for a laptop. Add thick padding, a logical design with compartments for files, chargers, other electronic devices, and all the little daily necessities you need to carry, and you've got a winner. There's even a sort of extra handle flat to the back surface so you can grab it quickly from any angle.
The case is well made of sturdy material, attractive for a man or a woman to carry, and it fits neatly under an airplane seat. I can't think of a single improvement to suggest. |
JUST WHAT I HAD IN MIND.

| THIS CASE IS JUST WHAT I HAD IN MIND. ONE CARRY-ON WITH ALL THE ROOM FOR THOSE MUST HAVE ITEMS. I HAVE TO GO THROUGH AIRPORTS WITH MY COMPUTER FOR WORK PURPOSES. BY THE TIME YOU GET TO THE CHECK POINT, TAKE OFF YOUR SHOES, TAKE YOUR COMPUTER OUT OF THE CASE, EMPTY YOUR POCKETS, WALK THROUGH THE DETECTOR, TAKE OFF YOUR BELT, GO AGAIN, TAKE OFF YOUR WATCH, ETC. ETC. THEN YOU REVERSE EVERYTHING. WITH THIS CASE YOU PULL OUT THE COMPUTER IN ITS SLEEVE, WORRY FREE OF DAMAGE, YOU ALREADY HAVE POCKET CHANGE IN THE BAG, AND JUST GO. THE WHEEL FEATURE IS JUST WHAT I NEEDED MAKING THOSE LONG WALKS AND RUNS FROM ONE GATE TO THE NEXT. I DON'T EVEN CARE IF SOMEONE IS LAUGHING AT ME; I KNOW THEY WILL PROBABLY OWN ONE SOMEDAY. IT WAS AFFORDABLE THROUGH AMAZON, AND JUST PLAIN SLICK TO USE. |
Best Laptop Case Ever!

I am in love with this case....I realize it isn't the sexiest of products... but to a lover of everything-in-it's-place such as myself? This case is a dream.
The laptop-holding area - one of 3 main compartments - is very well-padded. Though it's made for a traditional (16") laptop, I usually travel with my little 9" netbook and it feels very secure tucked in there - not to mention, that leaves room for the power cord and mouse. It closes with a rugged zipper that goes down both sides almost to the bottom.
The central compartment is the part that opens flat - the zipper opens down both sides to the bottom and a bit beyond for a true 180 degree opening. This is the advertised 'security-friendly' feature which enables you to go through security without removing your laptop - when the case is opened flat, your laptop is secure in it's little cocoon but it can go through the scanner because there's nothing obstructing the scanner's view of it. (I am not flying again til July - I will update WRT this feature when I do.) When flying I will leave this empty (though there are some pockets in there too which would work well for oft-needed documents like a boarding pass. But, just taking this sweetheart to work with me this week, I use that part for some (standard sized) files I need. You don't have to open it flat - you can just unzip the top and a little down the sides for secure access to files.
The 3rd main compartment zips as the laptop-compartment does, but is not padded. It does have a zipped pouch in the center (think, giant pencil case), with ample room on either side of the pouch for files, papers, books, magazines, writing pads, etc.
The front of the case has 2 (2! My heart sings!) zipped organizer compartments. One has 3 padded pockets for cell phones, ipod, etc, as well as a few other, smaller, pockets, pouches, and nets. The other is smaller - I use it for items I need the fastest access to.
This case is well made and sturdy, without being heavy at all, and the zippers are nice and rugged - not those little nylon jobbies that break - with big pull tabs. Bottom Line: It soothes my anal-retentive soul and makes me happy. |
Excellent Design. Fits 17" Laptop Nicely.

I bought this because I needed a new case for my Alienware M17x laptop which is a pretty heavy duty machine and has a large 17" screen. I compared this case to many others cases (Targus, Samsonite, etc) and found this one to be the lightest and have the most friendly design. My laptop fits perfectly into the security-friendly case and they've made it very easy to take in and out when passing trough airport security. Your laptop stays protected and you don't have to risk scratching it when its coming in and out of the case.
Overall, I was sketchy at first because Case Logic is not known as a top manufacturer of laptop cases but I love the fact that it is very simple and elegant design, and it doesn't have any extra unnecessary space around the sides and the top like the Targus 17" rolling case. My 17" laptop fits tight which is how I like it because let's face it, the laptop and the case are already pretty big, why would you want extra space around the sides? I don't get it. |
Stores Your Laptop and Dozens of Related Accessories

Case Logic 16-Inch Full Size Security Friendly Laptop Case is a storage and organizational device that is very useful for storage of both laptops and related accessories. I use this case when going on vacation and making other short trips. My laptop almost always accompanies me, and having a safe place to keep my computer is important.
This laptop computer bag looks much like other computer bags from the outside. Its black color and Case Logic metal badge with logo make it look like a briefcase when viewed from a distance. This gives the bag a more professional, serious look that makes it a good choice for businessmen and businesswomen. At the same time, the bag looks casual enough that others can use it as well. It could even double as a storage bag for other items and many students could use this case for hauling around a few books, folders, notebooks, and papers.
Opening up the Case Logic 16-Inch Full Size Security Friendly Laptop Case reveals an obvious fact: This is no ordinary briefcase/laptop carrying bag. There are separate sections and zippers galore. There are four main sections and these are subdivided into other storage sections with variations in each section that help users find the perfect place to store their notebooks, cell phones, calculators, pens, etc. One of the end sections is designed exclusively for your laptop and includes pillow- like walls to keep your laptop computer safe from damage. The other sections have a combination of pockets without zippers, pockets with zippers, deep pockets, shallow pockets, and even a nylon mesh pocket. With so many pockets and storage areas, one can quickly find the perfect place to store everything from cell phones, to calculators, to CD's, and more.
Carrying the Case Logic 16-Inch Full Size Security Friendly Laptop Case is made easy through the two available options: The briefcase- like handles and the optional shoulder strap. I usually use the handles, but if my bag is overloaded, I have found that the shoulder strap is the best way to go. Not only can this strap be used to carry the bag hands- free, it can also be used to strap the bag to a piece of rolling luggage, for even more freedom of movement. The strap is long enough to fit around most any piece of luggage, making a quick run through the airport fast and simple.
One other nice feature of the Case Logic 16-Inch Full Size Security Friendly Laptop Case is that it is designed with airport security in mind. This is one of the main appeals of this laptop bag because more often than not, when I am packing my laptop into a bag, it is for taking it on a trip and more than half of my trips involve flights. Case Logic designed this laptop case in compliance with TSA government guidelines so that you don't have to remove the laptop from the case in order to pass it through airport security. This is great for those who don't have time to waste and need to get to their gate as quickly as possible.
Case Logic 16-Inch Full Size Security Friendly Laptop Case has many great things to offer, so are there any cons? I can think of only a few. One is the lack of padding in the majority of the compartments. The laptop compartment is protected by padding, but the rest of the case is not. Thus, you have to be careful not to place anything delicate in one of these non- padded sections- particularly the one on the outside. These more delicate items will have to be placed toward the center of the bag instead of at the ends. Another possible con is that this bag is not expandable. Granted, it has enough storage space and is large enough that most anyone can find a place to store what they have. But the lack of expansion means you cannot place a large object inside this storage bag and it also means that some of the larger laptop computers may not fit.
Still, in spite of these minor inconveniences, the Case Logic 16-Inch Full Size Security Friendly Laptop Case is a very nice computer case with many great things to offer. It can be used to store your laptop computer and related accessories in many different ways, with a design that is both practical and imaginative.
