Rugged enough to withstand the use & abuse of my young son. Have always used Targus cases for all my family's laptops (4 total). Highly recommend any Targus product as I've always been satisfied with them.

Ilike this laptop case a lot. Its very easy to get stuff in and out of and provides a decent level of protection for carrying purposes. Maybe a few too many compartments for my taste - but Im very happy with it. Nice design. Easy to carry

I've had this case for a couple days and I love it more than two other cases I've had so far. It's extremely well padded (0.5") on all sides of the main compartment (which actually measures at 2.5" internally). What's cool is that the main compartment actually has another 0.5" of space on the other side of the padding that it fits my laptop and cooling station without bulging (awesome). There's also a nifty little Velcro dividing strip that can be used to lock down a 15" laptop if you need it but let's face it, the only reason you're buying this case is because you've got a monstrous 17" widescreen so why bother, lol. There are pockets everywhere for small accessories. The biggest pocket on the back is good for paper or folders but that's about it; You wouldn't want something hard banging on your leg while you carry it. Your larger accessories (power supply, external hard drive, etc.) can be stored on the backside of the front flap, which unzips out on both sides, an excellent idea that takes some the stress off of bulging accessories. This case also comes with a cell phone holder for bar style cell phones, which I doubt anyone will use. If you needed a cell phone holder, you've probably already got one, lol. I took it off and used the strap to hook a CD wallet full of music and games to it. The strap is not as uncomfortable as everyone makes it out to be. My bag full-up tips the scales at 30lbs and carry's just fine. If you really hate the strap, you can always slice it off and buy an aftermarket one. It's a little hard to classify the exact target audience for this product. The styling is most suitable for either college students with lots of room for extra stuff or gamers with lots of accessories (that's me). It's definitely too laid back for business folks. (It's got a freakin mesh waterbottle holder!)

This bag has a pocket for every imaginable device. I find it a bit bulky because I usually don't fill it up. It is also a very good value.

Previously I borrowed the same bag from a friend. I used it and liked it. When I bought my new 17" screen Dell laptop PC recently, I chose this bag to carry around. In addition to its protection for the equipment, its light weight, interior space, exterior dimension and appearance, separate cell phone bag, all the features provide exactly what I need. I used it on a trip and I love it! It is easy to carry, esay to access when passing security check in airports, esay to fit in standard plane compartments.
