Computer-Case Reviews

It's totally effective. It buckles to your belt, makes for sturdy protection, and keeps the weight out of your pockets. But it's quite bulky. You can feel it when you sit (and I'm a thin guy), especially if you have one of the long clies. You can fix this problem by moving the clie to your side but that makes it a little harder to reach. You also have to slide your seatbelt underneath it because the belt pushes down uncomfortably. Finally the buckle locks the pouch onto your belt can be stubborn. But it still does the job pretty well, just a few bugs.

After trying hard cases, I decided to give this a try. The hard cases will protect your pda but if you are like me you tend to put them in your shirt pocket and if you have a job that requires bending over--crash.

It does make you look kind of geeky to have your pda strapped to your side. However, it eliminated my falling PDA situation.

The material is a nice, firm, dark color. The sides are a strechy material which allows for a tight fit. The inside is a nylon material for scratch reduction. The clip has buttons on the bottom so it will give way if it gets caught. I have noticed that it does not get in the way of sitting, etc.

This is not a hard case so don't get it for drop protection.

There is also a pocket for memory sticks.

This bag is roomy enough to fit comfortably even my Dell Inspiron 8100 with 15.1" screen (the dimensions of my laptop are 13.03" wide, 10.8" deep, and 1.75" thick, which is apparently quite large in the laptop universe). However, it's obviously Targus's no-frills model.

It's quite slim, which can be good for short jaunts, but also comes with some disadvantages. Most obviously, the padding is skimpy. That applies not only to that around the main compartment but also to that covering the handle (made of really stiff fake leather) and the detachable shoulder strap. "Marginal" would be too generous a description; this case is definitely not made for long trips with heavy interiors, not unless you expect to be shifting the bag from shoulder to shoulder or hand to hand every few moments.

Also, there aren't many extra pockets. In fact, there's only one external pocket (the 13" x 9" x 2" one), which opens and closes only by Velcro, and has no sub-pockets. Yes, there are smaller subdivided pockets inside the main compartment where your computer will live, and this compartment nicely opens with dual sturdy zippers along three of four sides. But these smaller subdivided pockets face directly onto your precious laptop itself, without any padding other than the thin film of nylon that holds your extra goodies in place. Personally I would never use those pockets for anything firm and bumpy, even pens, for fear of cracking my laptop's case. That makes those pockets basically unusable unless for soft things like papers, which would fit better in the outer pocket anyway.

There's also a gimmicky removable divider in the main compartment just in case your notebook is so small that you can fit your AC adapter right beside it in the main compartment, in which case you can use the padded divider (detachable by Velcro, of course) to create separate living spaces for those two items. There's also a Velcro strap in the main compartment to restrain your laptop in its living space.

Basically, this case is adequate, for low expectations. But high expectations would include being comfortable carrying the case and bringing lots of additional items, for example if you want this to be your only carry-on piece of luggage. The only way you'd fit your hardback Harry Potter in this bag is if you left your computer at home.

This is the perfect case for the 3.5lb subnotebooks, it has an extremely durable ballistic nylon exterior that holds up to abrasion, unlike the faux leather/vinyl that readily tears, especially where the strap attaches and rubs against it. Where the vinyl case rapidly looks ragged and beaten up, this case still looks pristine and new.
The compartment is sized for the smaller notebooks, which is its intended purpose- it's not supposed to be an overnight bag; if that's what you need, a different model would be in order.

The velcro on the outer flap is a noisy on opening, but it does hold well-
It has a decent amount of compartments, with an outer flap to hold the accessories such as ac adapter, mouse etc.
Another compartment on the back is great for quick storage of papers and folders.
The hardware and carrying strap is very well made and will hold up to daily use with no problems.

Highly recommended for subnotebook users; very sharp looking case that affords good protection and durability.

The PDA case is too large for the small and slim PDA.
Because Targa wants to target to all the PDAs in the market, so the case is a little bit large.

Moreover, the stickers (there are two stickers) are too large too. Everytime when I want to take my PDA(Toshiba e755) off and put on the cradle, I need to use a lot of energy as it sticks too tight.

I've killed two Palm devices in the past by shattering their screens. Thankfully, both were hand-me-downs, but I was determined when I got my m125 to avoid that fate. Belt pouches were unbalanced and overly geeky, hardcases were too expensive, and there was no way that I would believe that a slim leather case would work.

In desperation, I picked up one of these cases and another for my fiancee. In the year that I have owned this device, I have dropped it probably at least twice a month and often from four or five feet onto tile or hardwood floors. Any of these falls would have killed an unprotected Palm, but mine still runs as good as the day I got it. These falls have mostly resulted in the case landing on a corner or edge, which works to your advantage since these areas are guarded with neoprene. I'd be much more worried about a fall onto face or back, but these are fairly rare.

I can fit a checkbook, a pen, a few business cards, stamps, my stylus, and even a few paperclips into this little package, along with the Palm itself. The case fits perfectly in my hand and it's never far from me. The only thing even approaching a complaint I have with it is that the velcro tabs hold the Palm in so solidly that it's almost annoying to get it out for hotsyncing.

If you plan on never dropping your PDA, then this isn't for you. If, on the other hand, you like to be prepared for life's expensive little surprises, then consider picking this up. It's not cute, it's not made with fine-grain leather, and it's certainly not going to fit into a normal pocket, but it's the best insurance you can buy for your palmtop.

This is a good product if you want to get a case for your mini. I have had this case for about a month, and it has kept my mini in perfect condition. The reason I gave this product four stars instead of five, is because it could be made out of better quality materials, but if you are considering getting this product I do suggest it. It isnt expensive, and it is one of the better cases out there. Also, dont expect it to fit in the dock, I did and it doesnt fit so if the only reason you are wanting to buy this is so your dock wont scratch your mini, then dont get this product. Hope this helped!

I've been fixing computer for longer than I care to admit and have gone through quite a few tool kits. This kits has all the basics: demagnetized ratcheting screwdriver, long nose pliers, wire strippers, pocket screwdriver with standard and phillips ends, anti-static wrist strap, allen wrenches, tweezers, IC extractor, parts retriever, tweezers, 6" phillips bit, metric sockets, standard bits, phillips bits, torx bits, and an 8 compartment spare parts box with some useful spare parts like jumpers. The only things that I normally use that are not in this kit are diagonal cutters that I use to make network cables (though you can use the cutters on the pliers, I like a separate cutter), and a mini screwdriver set I use on laptops. I have personally used the 55-piece kit at work for 3 years now (because the company chose that kit - can't argue with free), so I can attest to the quality of the tools. The case is wearing out badly - mostly the elastic is all shot, but the tools have lasted just fine. Since the tools are the important part, I really can't complain.

I gave this 4 stars because I dont think the Coach case is worth the extra $100. You can get this camera for $399 and to pay $499 for this combo with the Coach case seems unreasonable to me. I got this as a gift and trust me, I would have preferred the hundred bucks cash :-)

This strap is a lot better than the standard ones which come with the kits. Use it once and you'll get used to it. Though I wish Canon had a better color range available.

If you are looking for something under 9 bucks, this is the case for you. Durable, and functional. The only thing is that it covers most of the CDs so it's hard to see titles. I just wrote the titles around the edge so that I can see it however I put them in.
