Good value, well designed notebook case
 
Review Date: June 5, 2008
Reviewer: Allan Hildon, Suffolk, UK
This notebook case ticks all the boxes when it comes to design, construction, and value. The only design improvement I would recommend is the addition of a rubber base - the English weather being what it is. The interior has enough pockets and zips to ensure items won't fall out when you open the bag, and not so many that you have to spend 5 minutes trying to find where you stowed them. The plush lining also means there's no need to buy an additional neoprene liner. My only significant gripe is that Belkin only offers half the choice of colours here in the UK than is available in the US. There's just no excuse for this given the size of the UK market, and it doesn't make sense for a company the size of Belkin to limit its own sales potential. But all in all a great value notebook case that doesn't look like it came from a pound shop.
Bags of value and bags of class!

Reviewer: Lazy Kipper, Gateshead, UK
I was a little nervous about buying this bag, as some reviews for the 15" Belkin bags in other colours said that they were too small for a 15.4" laptop. However, I was seduced by the girly colour, and having received it I am glad that I am so shallow. It's lovely!
The bag itself is a beigey-grey colour with a fabulous pink contrast. It is well constructed of sturdy canvas with secure stitching. The main compartment has a padded velour pocket for your laptop. My Sony Vaio (15.4") fits perfectly - snug enough to stay in place and not slide around in transit, but not too snug to get it in and out easily. There is a removeable padded velour base in this pocket which would give another 1/4" depth if your laptop is a little larger than the Viao, with very little compromise of protection. The main compartment also houses a shallow zipped pocket along its full length (approx 2" deep), two pen pockets, two credit/ID card pockets and two pockets large enough for notebooks/CDs/mobile. There is also a large pocket big enough for an A4 pad or maybe even a clipboard (if you're that anal). A separate matching pouch holds the wirey bits for your computer, so that they don't get tangled or scratch anything else in the bag (or of course you could put your make-up in it). Exernally there are three further pockets (one velcro-ed and two zipped). The larger zipped one contains a mini pocket for a mobile or an iPod. If you have the latter in there, a rubberised exit hole allows you to put the headphones in and listen while you walk! The strap is broad and comfortable, but there is also a briefcase-type handle if you prefer.
This bag is extremely good value for the money, even with the four quid postage. I looked these bags up on other suppliers' websites and they varied between £26 and £36! How's that for a bargain!
My one criticism (and it's minor, and not worth deleting a star) is that there are no little feet on it which would have helped to keep the bag clean (especially important with such light colour). I think if you stuffed all the pockets full it would be pretty bulgey, so you'll have to exercise a little self-control. But there's loads of stylish room here, folks.
Great bag

I'm really pleased with this well designed bag and would highly recommend it. Some of the highlights:
- The interior is well designed with useful inside pockets
- The pocket which the laptop itself slips into is lined with velvet, so no annoying little scratches that you might get from rougher fabrics!
- The handle of the bag is wide, strong and stitched to the bag at the right places so the bag is comfortable to carry. I carry it with the strap over my body and it sits in a comfortable position to make it easy to carry when walking.
- There's a pocket to put an ipod in and a hole to thread the headphones cable through so it's safe and secure.
- A really useful inclusion with the bag is a zipped pouch to put the power cable in - no tangled wires and messy inside of the bag!
- It looks good and is really good value for the low price.

GREAT VALUE FOR MONEY. SUPER SOFT, THICK PROTECTION FOR ANY SIZE LAPTOP AND AN ADDITIONAL SMALL BAG FOR YOUR CABLE AND PLUG. LENGTH ADJUSTABLE CROSS-BODY STRAP FEELS SECURE. ENOUGH POCKETS FOR ALL YOUR EXTRA BITS, PLUS AN I-POD POCKET AND EARPHONE OUTLET. OVERALL, WELL MADE AND NOT AN OBVIOUS LAPTOP BAG.
Fits dell 1545's perfectly...

Reviewer: Kaytee,
I wasn't sure if this bag would be big enough for my dell 1545 with 15.6" screen, but I read that there was a section that was removable if it didn't quite fit. I was happy to discover that in fact my laptop fitted perfectly without removing any of the padding and there are so many pockets it's fantastic for anyone, especially for students! Really well padded and more interesting than the more 'businessy' type bags. Great buy!! :)
