Computer-Case Reviews

Nice looking bag. Laptop pouch way too small. Will not accommodate basic Dell notebook. I had to return this item.

This bag holds my laptop, extra-large Franklin Planner, several thick files, a binder or two, my purse, electronic accessories (pager, phone, etc.), lunch, water bottle, and still has some space to spare. If you are a student, work in technical or legal fields, or just want a double-duty bag you can carry to work and then take to the gym, look no further.

Under the flap you'll find a smaller zipper compartment perfect for cables and wiring, with extra little pockets sized for diskettes and pens. The zippered main compartment is *huge*, though my laptop is about 1" too tall to take advantage of the velcro closures on the laptop compartment flap--however, the flap also has an adjustable quick-snap strap to hold everything securely in place. The back of the bag also has a very large flat zipper pocket that can hold a bunch of legal-sized files with ease. In addition to the shoulder strap there is a handle on the top of the bag so you can carry it by hand.

The color description claims it is a bright, high-visibility citrus color and shows up as a cheerful yellow online. In reality this bag is a dark mustard-gold color, which took a little getting used to. The trim is reflective but not enough to be considered any sort of safety feature.

I liked this bag because it has a lot of space and now I can carry everything in one bag instead of three, yet still be able to mash it all under an airline seat (the back and bottom of the bag are constructed of solid black heavy nylon fabric). It's also a security advantage that it doesn't look as if it would have an expensive laptop inside.

I took a star off for the following points: inaccurate color description, smallish (10.5 x 12)laptop compartment though the adjustable strap allows larger units to fit, and because I think the balance of the bag would be improved by setting the straps slightly closer to the front of the bag. This is a bag that is most comfortable with the strap worn crossways over your chest (weight of the bag resting behind you), but most people carry loads on one shoulder only.

Overall, though, you can't beat the practicality for the price and I really enjoy using mine.

I bought this bag for my new laptop after try it in a shop just to see if the dimensions fit it. It is a huge bag and I think you can use it with every notebook. I don't like so much the color of this bag, but without this, it is an excellent product, easy to pack, you can hold many things besides your laptop like paper, CDs, battery, accesories or clothes ! And now, I cannot dispense with it ...

The black tray is made of a low-quality plastic. It cannot be removed from the jewel case without cracking. Therefore, these jewel cases should not be purchased for replacing a music CD jewel case as you will not be able to insert the paper liner that makes up the back and spine of a music CD.

You will receive 12 clear disk holders with a plastic insert -- not particularly well-made or poorly-made -- just standard disk holders. There are no paper inserts on which to label the disks.

This CD jewel case is particularly high quality and durable. Usual jewel case easily gets a crack in the middle and at the hinge, however this CD jewel case does not. Very reliable product. Highly recommended.

Its just an average case and made of imitation leather. You can't use it as a wallet[...] because it got openings at top and bottom even when closed. Cards and money can drop out of the pockets.

Not worth the price unless its on clearance ...

Looks rugged and is a nice custom fit for all Sony SL-10, SJ 20 thru 33 handhelds. Has locking mechanism and 1 storage slot for memory card. Overall a really nice job. If you need leather however, look elsewhere. This one's artificial. And I still haven't figured out where the handstrap goes.

This is a good case for the money. I bought it for my SJ33. It makes the device even bulkier now, but it is a pretty good fit overall, and I like the locking mechanism on the back that holds the Clie to the case. The strap that comes with it is a replacement for the fabric strap that came with the SJ33, so that's where it goes (note that it does NOT attach to the case itself). For me, it came down to getting this case or one of those other slip-in cases. But I don't like the slip-ins, since then I have to figure out where to put the case when I am using the Clie. Now, I can use the Clie without removing it from the case. Note that there is no belt clip, so this is not the case for you if you want such a thing.

I was interested in making use of an extra hard drive I wasn't using, and realized that I could purchase a drive enclosure like this one and have a nice semi-portable storage device. So I did some research and learned that there are quite a few companies that manufacture them.

I purchased Iogear's version because of the perceived professionalism of Iogear's products (nice form factor, decent web site, etc.). Unfortunately, after receiving this device a few days ago, my experiences are mixed.

The installation of my extra hard drive into the enclosure was fairly simple. They have a nice little booklet that describes the process and all you need is a phillips head screwdriver. Once I got the drive in the enclosure, things went downhill.

There is a glaring error in the manual on how to install the software (it tells the user to double-click a setup file that's not even on the entire CD, let alone the root). Also, even though Windows 2000 detected the drive and started installing a driver, the driver was unsigned and after a mandatory reboot, I still could not access the drive. I then proceeded to do a whole series of Windows updates, as they suggest in the manual, and tried reinstalling the drivers, but still no luck.

I'm currently waiting for a response from Iogear on this issue. The problem reporting form on their web site has an ASP error (bad sign) so I emailed their "sales support" email address. We'll see if they respond in an appropriate amount of time and can resolve this issue.

Fortunately, all I had to do on my secondary computer (Windows Me) was to plug the drive into a USB port. Windows Me detected the drive, installed a generic driver (that didn't require the Iogear CD) and seconds later I was able to access the drive and copy files to and from it...even without a reboot!

In summary, this drive may have compatability issues with Windows 2000 but on a Windows Me system it worked fine (at least for me).

I wrote this review in response to another review about the "problem with Windows 2000 Pro". I had this IOGEAR GHE135U enclosure with my old hard drive (ATA66) with Windows 2000 Pro SP3, it has no problem at all. The Windows 2000 found it and installed it as "Disk Drive" at very first time when connecting it. About this, it is also clearly stated at its manual..."no driver need for ME, 2000, XP". The only thing I don't like is the extra external power adapter; however, I beleive it is a must in order to provide the extra voltages for the regular hard drive (12 Volt/5 Volt). I like the big switch in the front panel, which allow me to just turn if off (after I 'Stop' it at the OS) without need to unplug it.

I guess I shouldn't be complaining about it since I got mine as a gift, but I figured I share my opinion so others won't make this mistake.
First things firs when my set finally arrived and I opened the carrying case every single tool just fell out (non of them were strapped in place), after getting it all together I realized that two parts were missing (pen knife and Phillips screwdriver). Since It was a gift I can't really return it so I kept an incomplete set.
After looking threw all the tools I realized that all of them were rather poorly made and very low quality (no offense but when I hold a tool in my hand I want it to feel like a tool not a plastic toy), not to mention that the whole thing looks like it's been used. I really had a nice laugh about a little flash lite that comes with it, it's so cheep it doesn't even have an On/Off button you have to loosen the top portion so that the battery doesn't touch the bulb to turn it off. The soldering iron burned out after first use, so I had to replace it right away.
A couple of pieces were really unnecessary. The Cotton Swabs are good I guess if you get an itch in your ear while working. Same thing with the cleaning wipes, you can use them if you wonna take a lunch brake from work and wipe off your hands. The wire stripers I replaced right away, you actually need a screw driver to set it to different cable sizes (since it's almost impossible to set them to the right size you always end up cutting the wire or not being able to strip it).
Finally the Vinyl Carrying Case is Big and Bulky (like one of them all in one encyclopedias), I really think they could of remove some of them unnecessary stuff and make the case more portable. Did I mention that the batteries were also missing?
In conclusion if you're even thinking about buying this product GO TO THE STORE AND TAKE A CLOSE LOOK AT IT, MAKE SURE ALL THE STUFF IS IN THERE. The picture above is way too small to see how it all looks like, so if you buy this online be ready to be disappointed.

This has been the best tool kit I've used in 5 years of fixing computers. The only bad thing I can say about it is the flashlight is really cheap and broke within a few days. A Mini-Mag fit in the same spot and that is the ONLY item that is not original in 3 years of use (aside from consumables like the cotton swabs and cleaning wipes). The rest of the tools are good quality and are all usable. The ratching screwdriver has seen 3 years of hard use and is still going strong, and let me tell you that I certainly haven't been using this kit to just fix computers. I recently had to give the kit back to my work (changed jobs) and I can tell you that this is DEFINATELY on the top of my wish list. This is the deluxe kit that has near everything: Allen wrenches, ratchet screwdriver, parts retriever, anti-static wrist bands, anti-static cleaning wipes, cotton swabs, flashlight, IC extractor, mini vacuum cleaner, long nose pliers, pen knife, tweezers, mini screwdriver set, soldering iron w/solder and wick, canned air, wire cutter, wire stripper, even a small bits organizer with useful items like jumpers, and all the bits you could need - standard, phillips, torx, square, and sockets in both standard and metric.

Yes, the camera fits in the bag, but that's all. I don't really know what I expected, but this bag is useless to me. What am I supposed to do, wear it on my belt? (It has no handles or straps, just a slot for your belt.) It has nothing inside: no pockets for extra memory, nothing. It's basically a piece of leather with a zipper. Useless(...)The extra battery in the accessory kit is a good idea, and it comes with a card reader as well. (Batteries alone usually sell for around $80, so this is a steal.)

I purchased this CD wallet thinking it had everything. I have owned it and used it regularly without abusing it. I keep it inside my house, and only take it out to use in my car when I go on any long distance trips (3 or 4 times a week). I always carried it in my hands, and kept it under the car seat while driving. I have never thrown it, dropped it, or lost it.

Well, recently I realized that many of the CD sleeves were cracked along the edges, and some so badly that CDs won't stay put in them.

I have owned this product less than 6 months.

Ever since I heard "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana in 1994, I have been a loyal music fan and record buyer alike. But, what most don't consciously realize is CD's are susceptible to damage such as scratches and cracks. You paid money for them, why leave them at such high risk? Case Logic solves that problem with their highly protective and affordable CD Wallet. Not only does it offer security for your CD's, but it offers much easier access to them as well, which is always helpful. My wallet has taken it's share of bumps and bruises, even falling down the stairs, and not one CD has been damaged in the process. An excellent investment for anyone who wishes for their albums to have a long, scrath free, happy life.

Okay, so the outside is really durable, and the strap is certainly handy...but two minutes ago I opened the case up for the first time since buying and loading it up last night...and the plastic sleeves were tearing open!

I mean, it's not like I have abnormally fat CDs or something.

We're not talking little rips right near the finger tabs...these sleeves won't hold in the CDs anymore. I want my money back.

I've bought many Case Logic CD wallets of different styles over the years, and these 32-CD wallets from J&R Music and Computer World are the same sturdy Case Logic quality that I've come to expect--they are not 'seconds'. This is a terrific deal for the price. The previous reviewer must have received a defective wallet with a bad heat-seal; I assume she has by now received either a replacement or a refund.

I purchase this product for my Sony TRV33 handycam camcorder, yes the tiny and lower weight video camera in the market, and guess what happens? I use the bag as its name says "WAIST PACK" but it took only four times of use and the waist straps get rid of the main body of the bag. YES this is not a waist pack, it's a WASTE PACK. So dont buy it, unless you want to use on your shoulder.

Just as you anticipated from Ad. Compact, flexible, many pockets, and great price !

I just received the case after a wait of 4 weeks due to being out of stock. It does not fit the Fuji Finepix 1400 as described. The case won't close since the camera is too big for it.

This case is great! My Finepix 1300 fits snuggly inside and protects the lens since it doesn't have a lens cap. Also the handy belt loop makes carrying the camera effortless! If you have a 1300 pick this case up.
