Computer-Case Reviews

Pretty roomy. I would have given it 5 stars but after you put a laptop in it there is'nt much room for books, etc. Nice looking bag!

I use to have a backpack with a laptop and all my school items in it and it weighed about 30 lb. when I got the allsop laptop rover backpack i put my stuff in it including my laptop and put it to the test i wore it for 20 minets. around the house and after i took it off my back didn't hurt. that was so cool so i also weghed it and it weight ten and half pounds! WOW! i was so impressed!! This is also a backpack that you could go to school, work, biking, travaling, etc. in cool style!!!!!!!!!!!

This has just exactly what you need and none of what you do not. A seperate specific, internal, and specially padded bag for your laptop embedded with the rest of the backpack. Supplying secure carriage for your laptop, but also allowing for books, folders, papers, or whatever within the main compartment. It also sports exterior pockets of various sizes, one with mutiple storage pockets for say a PDA/Calculator, pens and pencils, etc. The straps are nice, including a waist strap for those worried about your bag slipping. Very highly recommended. My Dell Inspiron 4100 fits just fine.

They are, and they aren't, great binocs

What they are: as it says, the lightest and least expensive IS binoculars on the market (right now). The optics themselves are only merely very good, but - HAND HELD - with the IS activated, they allow me to read fine print about 20% closer than with my Leica 8x32 Ultras. On a rest, the Leicas are superior. It's the elimination of the jiggles - the 8x25 Canons don't give an image that's as bright and contrasty as those high dollar Leicas, but the steadier image more than makes up for that.

What they aren't: waterproof or armored. So have a care if you use them in conditions of rain or dust. They're much more complicated than simple binocs, with electric circuits inside, and the matter of reliability does come into consideration - but in the first year, they've survived life in the tote bag ,bouncing along dirt roads without a hiccup. Two more things: besides armoring and ruggedizing, Canon had to compromise _somewhere_ to make them this small. So, while the IS deals well with rapid human shaking. it doesn't seem to correct at all for slow motions. I imagine the engineers were forcd to leave off the sensors for slow motions, to fit everything else in. And, they use CR123 batteries, more expensive and harder to find in a pinch than AA batteries. Of course, if the batteries run dead, all your are left with is a functional set of very good, if a bit bulky, 8x25 binocs. What Canon has created is $300 binoculars that - hand held, with the IS active - outperform my high dollar Leica 8x32 Ultras. And, I imagine, the Nikon SE's, too. No kidding.

Oh, man. I worked eBay, finally got myself a pair of the vaunted Leica 8X32 roofs at a decent price. And splendid binoculars they are. Excellent.

Then Canon comes out with these IS 8X25's. I already had the 12X36 jobs, wonderful and bulky. HAD to have the 8X25's.

Here's the deal. Serious binocular users know "Better view Desired" http://www.betterviewdesired.com/

I used a casual version of his NEED test.

The $300 canon IS 8X25's beat the $500 Leica 8X32's all hollow on any measure of hand-held resolution. HAND-HELD. On a rest, the Leicas showed their precision optics. Hand held, the Canon's were far better.

There ya be, friends. Image stabilization RULES.

I have to give these binoculars 5 stars, not because they are the finest optics money can buy, but because they give the clearest and steadiest handheld viewing you can get at anywhere near this price. Value for the money is the point, here. But, besides value, they actually are very good quality optics! They feel well made. Although they are mostly plastic, it's good quality material, they don't feel cheesy. No, they are not built like a Leica tank (intended to survive an atomic blast), but the image stabilization is so amazing, I am willing to be a little extra careful with them. You look through them and press that button, and, PRESTO, the view just stops jiggling! It's just fantastic! The I.S. has greatly improved my stargazing pleasure. Maybe I have especially bad hand tremor, but I would bet anybody would notice a big difference. I really love them!!

Nicely constructed and well padded. Looks classy, too. Bad news is...no strap or belt loop just a silly sideways loop. No protected hole for earphone or controller. And the whole thing is just a trifle small for a minidisc. The minidisc fits, sure, but no space is left for earphones or discs! I suspect the same would be true for many mp3 players as well. So it makes a nice padded carry-case for the "CPU" of my minidisc system...but it isn't a carrier to go jogging with.

Awesome Deal and Quality, however my Dell Digital Jukebox doesn't fit in the pocket, so i have to just zipper it up with it lose in the case. If you have a smaller mp3 player it would be perfect. Still, I think it is a good investment to protect an mp3 player.

You may wonder why i rated it 5 stars that would br for thinner mp3 players. My personal rating would be a 4 star

I own this case and have been very satisfied with it. it DOES have a belt loop, which is a piece of fabric about 1 inch wide that spans vertically from the top to bottom of the back side of the case. i keep my iPod in it (3rd generation, 10gb) with plenty of room to spare. there is a zippered pocket on the other side for earphones or memory cards. zipper is high quality, and the zipper handle is made out of rubber. the mesh part of it stretches to hold your mp3 player. note: the color is less copper looking than in the picture. it is more of a champange color. and if you want a mini disc player case, look at the case logic mini disc player case.

This sleeve is not for iBooks. It's for 15" screen laptop computers and swims on my 12" PowerBook. Maybe it's OK for a 14" iBook, but not a 12" iBook or PowerBook as the other review suggests.

I already have a backpack in which I carry my laptop. It didn't have quite as much padding as I wanted and I wanted to protect the laptop from othe items I may carry in the backpack. This sleeve turned out to be the perfect solution. My computer fits perfectly and everything works out great. I have a Dell with a 15" display, the sleeve fits like a glove and adds considerable padding to the situation. This would be a great solution for carrying a computer in a bag not specifically designed for a laptop. Highly recommended.

I was looking for a case that would protect my iBook (dual USB) against the elements. Since I already had a leather briefcase, I didn't need a separate case. All I needed was something simple that would encase the laptop and guard it from the dust, debris, and occasional raindrop that finds its way into my bag. This case is perfect. The neoprene is soft, water resistant, and provides minimal cushioning. The zipper snaps into place so that it doesn't catch on other items. The rear zipper allows me to charge the computer's battery while keeping it protected in the sleeve.

I've seen other computer sleeves that offer more cushioning, but they also take up a lot of space in your bag. This case is a good trade off. Overall, I'm completely satisfied. Pick up at Circuit City was hassle-free.

This is one of the best keyboards on the market for a reasonable price. the good thing is it size. It's small enough to fit in your lap as you send messages to your friends with the control in your hand. It works great with online titles such as socom2 and resident evil outbreak. I highly recommend this product if you play on-line a lot.

This keyboard is basically the same kind you use for school. If you like that then by all means purchase the keyboard. I use a different one for computer but this one is still pretty nice.

The only problem is that this keyboard can't be used in that many games. RPG Maker is the big one. Maybe some online games will utilize it though.

This keyboard is perfect for any online PS2 game. I bought it for Final Fantasy XI and have been very happy with it. If you can afford it, though, I would recommend the Logitech Netplay thing that has the keyboard and controller in one unit so you don't have to switch between the keyboard and the controller.

This is a nice leather case. The only thing I would complain about is that it's a little bit tight for Nikon 5000. It doesn't fit with the lens cap on.

I bought this case for my Nikon Coolpix 4300. It has pleanty of room for the camera and any accessories you might need. Compared to the silver nylon case designed for the coolpix 4300, this leather case is certainly an upgrade from the standard coolpix case. why not pay a couple extra bucks to keep your investment warm and fuzzy? it has a a zippered mesh pocket in the interior and a velcro flap pocket on the exterior. only complaint is that the closure system is a snap lock and not zippered. Buy this case for your nikon coolpix; you won't be disapointed, unless you go for the cheap stuff.

There is room in a zippered mesh compartment inside the lid for 20 CompactFlash Memmory cards. 3 spare batteries can be stored in the cases front velcro enclosure, plus 1 in the camera, giving the case a capacity of 4 batteries. A Coolpix 5000 fits into the case perfectly snug (facing the lens out and the grip up) with a little space left on top to coil the shoulder strap. The soft and supple black leather case is well padded to protect your loved one.

Functional, simple. Free with my purchase of the SJ22. Also, doesn't look bad, plain and sleek.

Bought this to protect my SJ22. Had a plam M125 and it was dropped and never worked right again. Having the clie on your belt is very handy.

Very good and well fitting for the SJ20, feels very secure on the belt. Velcro closure works well. Has decent amount of padding. This is good if you are looking for a case you do not have to hand-carry, and keeps Clie secure

This is the PLusView1000AMG. The manufacturing quality could have been better. There are a lot of companies that support the PC industry, but only a few can suprisingly offer an elegant design with simple colors and classic lines.

I have been eyeing on this case for a long time and when they came out with the clear window design, I finally decided to get it. I've been looking at the case online and in local stores. Amazon gave the best price.

Now that I have it for closer scrutiny, it's not as great as I remember seeing it. It's basically the same type of PC case design offered for decades - metal sheets painted in different colors - in this case, metallic gray. The front bezel (matte paint) does not properly match the body (metallic, shiny). It's not a big problem though. The power button is shiny plastic. This and the generic case locks (which I insist Antec should have created their own design) are what give the case accents.

The internal parts are of better quality. The purple fan holders are of top make. They should have maintained that build quality on the external aspect. The 2xUSB and 1xFirewire ports on the front are a nice feature. It comes with two assembled fans for the rear.

Antec missed out on supplying thumb screws, which they sell as an after-market purchase.

I have to note that the case is very heavy. Though the weight does not completely absorb vibrations from the spinning components - fans, hard drive, media drives.

Overall, the price does justify the design and quality. But if you were to spend on a more expensive case, get those aluminum cases like Lian-Li which has clean lines and smooth manufacturing.

Get this if you need a full tower case with lots of internal space for drives, fans and airflow support. Either way, you won't make a mistake with the reasonable price.

I must say I read the first reviewer's notes about this case prior to buying it and I was a bit concerned about the quality. I don't know what exactly one should expect for the quality of a computer case, but I'm very impressed after seeing it. Yes the case is heavier that the cheap cases we see everywhere. I think this is pretty normal because it's a full tower and it has a big metal skelaton. I agree that this might not be the perfect fit for a gamer who goes to LAN parties all the time.

If you need a cool looking case and you want to fit in many devices while keeping the temperature low, this is the case for you. I put in a power supply, the motherboard, 5 hard drives, 1 cd writer, 1 floppy and 3 fans (2 is included with the case). None of them is getting in the way of the other. The air circulation inside is much better than a normal computer case...

I disagree with the reviewer who only rated this three stars. I have had this case for a few months now and I love it. I also bought it here because of the price. It is very roomy inside the case and very easy to work in. Also, I like the fact that it pre-modded with a window, and the silver color is attractive. Also it's not THAT easy to dent. Through normal use there will be no damage to the case. I move it around quite a bit also with no problems other than the weight...my doors match perfectly to the metal. The keyhole style is the same keyhole style on millions of other cases, cheap and expensive. What is the problem with it?

The only thing wrong with this is the weight - it weighs almost as much as my ViewSonic 21" monitor. I'm going to add a case handle for easier handling. However, I wouldn't recommend it to people who go to lan parties because of the weight. Also, why would you want a server case for a lan party anyway? That is what the smaller cases are for.

Overall, I love the case. If someone gets to the point of worrying about the plastic not being the same Pantone color as the metal (which it is the same color) and worrying about the way the keyhole looks, then it is time to forget about off-the-shelf models and mod one to your specs. That's what Ace Hardware and Lowe's are for right?

Listen...these are plastic sleeves that protect cds, and can be put in a binder. I use them to mail cd's to people that I trade live music with. If you need some, buy 'em. End of story.

A great product. 3 CD's and all the standard paper inserts that come with them fit in the space of a single jewel case. Very useful for bringing a bag full (Case Logic makes some bags) in the car.

Prosleeves are a great way to save space in your CD storage area. Discard the jewel boxes - the ones that aren't already broken - and keep your CDs in the sleeves, stored card index style. Caselogic have designed this product well. It's simple to use and even includes a tool to slide in the spines from the jewel box for easy identification of the discs. The loose format allows you to pick and choose the arrangement of your discs as well as select favorites to take to your car or parties. I keep my CDs in drawers which really condenses the space they take up as well as keeping them out of sight. If only music companies used CD size, cardboard album sleeves we wouldn't need even this useful product.....

I highly recommend these refill pages to expand your collection. They are a good price and are much cheaper than additional storage devices. Good fit, nice look. I hope this helps.

These things are a great way to organize your DVD's and save storage space. I can't figure out why the refills are so expensive however...

We are planning to live aboard a sailboat (53') in the Caribbean and needed a way to store the DVDs in a salt water environment.. the Pro Logic 20 and additional storage pages did the trick! we can store them so the heat and salt water won't destroy them so we can enjoy them for years to come!
