Advantages: Laptop is protected. Classy looking. Lots of storage space.
Disadvantages: Fairly expensive.

...I work in the corporate hospitality industry, so image is all-important, especially when you’re meeting potential clients for the first time. Presentation is very important, not only for your goods and services, but your own personal image and appearance. I use a laptop for work, but the nylon fabric case that it came in had seen better days, and was beginning to show its age and look very tatty. It’s little use presenting yourself and your company as highly professional, when your client takes one look at your laptop case, and wonders whether you’ve been using it to carry home the vegetables from your local Tesco. So hubby, bless him, decided to treat me to a new leather carrying case as an anniversary present. He bought me a lovely new leather carrying case in beautiful black leather made by a company called Targus. It looks... Read review

Advantages: Umm.. none
Disadvantages: Everything

...Unfortunately i have to give this product my very first "Very poor", as i bought one and was deeply inimpressed with the slow reactions and unhelpful assistance of the software manufactures. The Logic 3 PS2 Carry Kit barely fitted my PS2 slimeline, and when i did finnally push it in and ajust it so the zip would close, the carry kit did not protect the PS2 much, as one of the zips inside it scratched the edges of my PS2. The manufactures when i reported this to them said that it was my fault and that the carry case works for most slimeline PS2's. (???) They refused to replace the carry kit or the PS2 and i was left with the thing that is now in the rubbish bins. I reccomend this item to everyone that wants to break their PS2 or anybody that likes to waste money. This item has won my "Worst product ever" award of 2008!!... Read review

Advantages: Prevents scratches and damage to your laptop
Disadvantages: Quite costly

...I have just brought a laptop to do some word processing at home. It wasn't a very expensive one, but I wanted to take good care of it so it wouldn't get dirty or scratched. When I brought the laptop I asked the shop assistant if they sold any carrying cases and he showed me a couple of them. The first one felt very cheap and didn't feel as if it would last for very long and it also felt that it would rip easy at the seams. So I asked him if there where any more to look at and he told me that there where a few others but they where more expensive. He produced this Toshiba carrying case and I instantly knew from the look of it that it was more substantial and a better quality material. It was £25.99, which was more than I wanted to pay for a case but I knew that if I brought the cheaper one then it wouldn't have lasted as long... Read review

...This bag is designed for laptops and small amounts of work folders Size & Price --------------- The bag dimensions are H32 x W45 x D15cm and it costs £50 from John Lewis Laptop Compatibility -------------------------- This carry case is large enough to hold any size laptop, apart from the large widescreen ones. I carry an IBM Thinkpad in mine with power cable and mouse with no problems. Appearance & Features ---------------------------- The case is made out of black PVC and feels and looks quite nice. It has a stainless steel carrying handle with soft leather material on the underside of the grip. It also comes with a removable shoulder carrying strap which is sturdy. Unfortunately, the main metal handle, though very comfortable to hold, is attached to the bag by 4 screws and these kept coming loose even after... Read review

Advantages: Good quality laptop bag
Disadvantages: None yet

...Targus Clamshell XL notebook case With the purchase of my new and improved laptop, I needed a new bag so I could carry it around with me. A quick scour around some of the major retailers convinced me that they were all, bar a few, priced around the same price. I knew that I wanted a bag which was smart enough to carry to work and to meetings related to work, but which was equally able to withstand some knocking about. I also knew that I didn't want to feel that I had to treat the bag like a precious piece of equipment, and hence, this is the one I bought. THE BAG The bag itself is black (good serviceable colour) and has the Targus logo on the front of the pocket; very discreet, and not something which makes it look tacky. The bag itself is nicely padded, and so offers the laptop some protection without being overly... Read review

Advantages: Protects.
Disadvantages: None.

...First the technical stuff, the case is made of plastic, ethylene-vinyl acetate actually, which is a form of soft thermoplastic, including recycled materials, so you could say you are doing your bit for the environment. The outer covering is hardwearing Nylon. The carry case comes complete with a wrist strap, although personally I would not trust it. It has an improved zip, apparently the old one was prone to jamming. The picture Ciao have put up is of the old model, the new one is very similar, just a little more subtle. These cases are a good idea for keeping dust and scratches at bay, however, it may have been a better idea if the case was fitted with belt loops, so you could carry it on your belt, or a strap like binoculars have, rather than risk it slipping o
