Computer-Case Reviews

I've used my case for a few weeks to haul the camera, battery charger and cords to jobsites and have been very happy with being able to get the Kodak charger, a Photosmart 735 and my cords in the case. I also like the way the top flips back to hold its possiton. It would have been nice to have 4 to 8 slots to put the charged or used batteries in, but with the pocket in the lid this works fine.

When I first saw this bag I was worried that it was going to be too small, but upon arrival I was pleasantly surprised to say the least. I bought it to hold my Kodak CX6330, and it fits perfectly inside the bag with room to spare. All in all I was able to put both my camera and the manual inside the bag's main compartment, and the outer pocket was big enough to hold my memory card and 4 AA batteries. There's also a small zippered pocket in the lid, but I ran out of things I needed to carry! Also, I must say, the best feature of this bag is the lid, and it is what sold me on it right away. I get so frustrated with constantly having to fumble around to open a bag every time I need to get something out of it. With this bag you will never have that problem! The lid folds back, and stays back! It's wonderful! I was also quite impressed with the craftsmanship. The leather was flawless, it has a sewn in hand strap and a removable adjustable shoulder strap. I highly suggest this camera bag for anyone who is on the go and needs to carry multiple things with them. It's a great purchase and the price can't be beat!

I love this camera bag! I got it to house my new Olympus C-4000 digital camera (which is fantastic) and it's just what I wanted. It's smaller than I expected, but I can comfortably carry the camera in the bigger side of the inner compartment, all the cords and extra batteries in the other side of the inner compartment, the spare cards in the little pocket in the lid and the battery charger (the Monster Cable MB 4-DCRC Ultra-High Capacity Digital Camera Power Pack) in the outside pocket. The outside pocket has several little zippered pockets in it, too. The inside is well padded and the fabric is very soft, almost like flannel. The camera fits in easily, but it's snug enough that it doesn't rattle around. I also like that the bag doesn't tip over, the lid flips back and STAYS flipped back as does the little flap with the velcro on it (makes it a lot easier to access the zippered pocket in the lid). I also like that the sides of the lid come down far enough that it won't let rain in. Great little bag and definitely the one to get if you have an Olympus C-4000!

I am quite pleased with both the quality and workmanship on this product.

All the openings allow for simple access to the various controls and sockets without any difficulty. In fact they matched up almost perfectly. I would have preferred to see the gap a little wider for the scrolling wheel, as bigger fingers may have a minor problems with negotiating it otherwise.

The belt clip seems quite seviceable and should perform its function well. My preference would have been for it to be slightly wider so as to provide some more stability.

Overall the product looks good and is well worth the money for the protection it affords.

To this day, I still use my Nomad Jukebox 3 on a daily basis. I don't think I'd be saying that if I hadn't purchased this last year. Not only does it make it easier for me to carry the, now massive, Jukebox 3 around, it's also kept it in perfect shape. When I originally received it, it was a very tight fit, over time it's loosened a bit and made it easier to remove if needed. I only mention this because occasionally the holes for the rear ports get slightly covered by the case. Not a big deal but still worth mentioning. If you still have the Nomad Jukebox 3 or are just now getting one, I seriously recommend picking this up as well.

I think this item is a good price a CD and MP3 player is very good if you want to listen to a CD instead of downloading the music or just download from the internet its still a good deal

Excellent workmanship. Very high quality case and parts. Roomy interior and nice design. 5.25" drive bays require you to remove front bezel which is a bit strange plus they use a drive rail design. Strange but works although the manual is pretty useless on this process. Other than that, highly recommended.

This is a great case! It has car-paint quality bronze color and has a cover to hide the beige colored drives that only match so-so with the bronze color. It's easy to open and the fan that comes with it is super quiet.

The Antec SLK3700AMB is a great case for the first time builder (like me!). It's quiet and of good quality materials. Installing the components is fairly easy. The door hides all the drives and contributes to the sleek look. The bronze color goes with everything from black to beige. All my gear runs cool with the large rear fan and good ventilation. The only minus is the skimpy manual.

summary: if you own a dv camera, it's probably similarly sized to the panasonic dv-600 camera (a little bigger than the size of a mid-sized nerf football). this bag works well for that sized camera, and it looks sharp, too!

more info: this bag has a few nooks and crannies that are good for taking around important accessories. i'm able to carry around about ten tapes, an extra battery, and the various cords* that connect the camera to the tv and computer. in addition, it seems to be padded well - i feel confident that the camera is safe in the bag.

and it looks sharp, too. a couple of people have just randomly stated how they like the bag. i'm not sure why, exactly, maybe because the leather looks like it's of good quality, and the construction looks sturdy.

i like this bag, and i think you will too if you own a dv camera.

Nice quality. Very compact. Will not have room for tons of extra cords and batteries for your camcorder but the essentials will fit. I have a Sharp VL-AX1U and it fits perfectly. If you are buying this for a digital camera it would also work very well.

The great advantage of this bag is that the entire top unzips (it's actually a double run zipper which gives you a wide storage space while everything stays in place). It was great for my movie camera so I got another one for my digital still camera. I can keep 20 mini CDs plus marking pens, extra battery and charger, and my bulky but essential viewing hood. When the bag opens you can see everything, place everything, and when it closes everything stays in place. After a year I've decided the design is probably the most convienent I've used in 30 yrs.

Decent construction. A little flimsy. No extra pockets, liner notes holders, but does the job.

This is most definatley a great product. I have owned an old CDW-64 holder and I bought a new one about a year ago the same style as this CDW-128. Both are extremley sturdy and have held up quite well even with the abuse I put them through. I just bought this product and find it equal to the quality of those. While padding could be a little better to prevent CD scratching, it comes as close to perfect as possible and is definatley a great buy.

I totally love this Cd Wallet- it is not too big and not too small. The construction of this piece is very sturdy. I've owned this for a while now and it still looks new. The color is a classic, the only problem I have with it is that the CD pockets are very flimsy other than that the exterior of this piece is unbelievable. I love it!!! I actually bought another one, oh another note do be careful because the if you don't handle the zipper with care it tends to get caught. But nothing major :)

OK, I know that people are going to think I'm stupid for saying this, but this was just so bulky that I felt like a geek carrying it around and it wasn't exactly what I expected when I ordered it, I guess I thought it'd be more like those backpacks that just have a sleeve for a laptop but are otherwise, you know, backpacks. On the flip side it seemed very sturdy and like it would offer a lot of protection for a laptop, but if you're a student like me and planning to cram huge textbooks into the big compartment you won't get very far, and you'll probably feel geeky carrying it around too. My friends have backpacks that aren't as clunky and seem to offer the same amount of protection and sturdiness to their laptops as well as having plenty of space and pockets, I wish I could mention specific ones but I can't, so if that's what you want this isn't for you.

Inside of each compartment, there are additional pockets for your A/C adapter, a mouse, pens, a calculator, business cards, a cell phone, and just about every other imaginable item you might want to take with you. The main compartment has an internal sleeve to safely hold your laptop and still leave plenty of space for more stuff. (Heck, I can fit my flat-bed scanner in there!) The back pack will comfortably hold a 14"x11"x2" computer. It's overall dimensions are 17"x13"x10". (Ten inches! A little too fat for my taste.) Empty, the bag weighs about 3 & 3/4 pounds... Add a 5-7 lb. laptop, and fill all those little pockets and you'll be very happy you bought a back pack and not a brief case style case. If you like to take everything with you, and keep it all organized, you'll like this back pack. Despite it's excessive pockets and more than generous capacity, the price it right for this functional laptop case.

The size and sturdiness of this pack is what is best about it. It has alot of space and everything is easily accessable. I highly recommend this backpack.

I have found this to be an excellent light-weight laptop bag for my 4 pound Sony Vaio, but it would easily accomodate a much larger laptop (say, the Dell Inspiron with 15 inch screen). I bought it based on the light weight and unique design compared to many of the traditional laptop cases that you see out there. Even with the laptop and media slice, there is still room in the bag's compartments for my firewire hard drive, headphones, and AC adapter (plus pens, papers, and other sundries). The shoulder strap has a nice quick-adjust feature and the shoulder pad is well bolstered with a non-slip material, so you don't have to worry about it sliding off and falling. Obviously, this case isn't going to be quite as sturdy as a larger, heavier case, but in a year of use it has protected my goods without a problem. The rubberized bottom "tire tread" protects against accidental drops and there is adequate padding inside to protect the screen (but I wouldn't go slinging it around). The only thing that kept it from getting 5 stars is the fact that it may not be secure enough for the largest laptops on the market, those with 16 inch screens. For anything under 6 pounds, I would definitely recommend it.

I looked and looked for a bag that woudl fit my dell 8100 and this was really the only one I could find that was under [money]. its great but I I wish there were a couple of more pockets for CD's or disks etc.

This is a 2-main compartment bag. In my determine of size, single compartment bags have just 1 compartment for the notebook. Flat flap pockets do not count. So this is the 2nd thinnest bag and possibly close to the lightest(1 1/2lb I think). It comes with nice soft strap and soft flexible compartments to accommodate odd shape objects. Its modern looking, suitable for most applications. I think this is the best size, weight, layout, look combination. Mine carries my HP notebook+PS+mouse, with space for cell, small digital camera and 2 books. The only downsides are the lack of a handle; and being a messenger bag, it can't stand upright.
