This is THE best laptop case to protect your baby. It's made of that hard foam that some park benches are made from that are supposed to be manufactured from recycled soda bottles. I know that's convoluted, but if you know what I'm talking about, you'll totally understand. If not, don't worry, just know that it has a super-heavy zipper, a mesh pouch on the top side to hold documents, disks, etc., and it's awesome. I have a courier bag that I got on amazon that's super-cool, but doesn't provide the protective barrier I wanted for my laptop. This is perfect as a "bag in a bag" to keep your machine from getting dinged. I usually carry a couple of text books, two notebooks, a writing utensil box, and perhaps a snack in my courier bag with my computer. With this badboy (the case), I know I can spill my coffee or drop my bag (yeah, it'll withstand a drop when it's inside another case) and all will be well. BTW, it's the envy of my peers...both in the office and at night school. Get one of these before they're gone.

I wanted a mix between a sleeve and an actual case, and this works great to fill that gap

I like the case, but it was not as sturdy as I had hoped. Although oversized for my notebook the interior strap holds it in place fine..

This is a great cover to have for your laptop. It really protects it well either in my bag or if I'm just carrying it around. As the other reviewer mentioned, it won't stop a bullet, but does provide nice protection. I've really liked the area for the folders.

I returned it because it didn't meet my needs. The description lead me to believe it would be more rigid, protecting the laptop screen from anything heavy placed on top of it. While it provides better protection than Neoprene sleeves, any amount of weight bows the cover, pressing directly against the laptop. Otherwise, its well made and I liked the velcro harness on the inside that secures smaller laptops from moving around. It also doesn't have a shoulder strap or handle for carrying it. I think instead of putting my laptop in my backpack I'll get dedicated should bag.
