Product Description

Who says your computer case has to be clunky and ugly to protect what's inside? Built NY's Laptop Portfolio Case is sleek and elegant. They use extra-durable strong-rib weave, a unique grade of neoprene especially made to protect scuba divers against punctures and abrasions from coral reefs. Best of all, slide it in and as it conforms to the size of your computer, its unique bone shape creates an instant built-in bumper system for extra protection.

Pretty good but a little pricey.......2007-04-25

This fits a Dell 620 Notebook with extended battery, a file folder, and composition sized notebook. I use this to tote my notebook to work and home plus a few papers. It seems to do pretty well except for the slight smell, slick fabric that causes the case to slide when you set it down, and the single zip instead of more convenient double zip. The size is about right for the Dell 620 but a little too large for my Apple macbook.

The case is cushy enough but not as shock absorbent as the Zero Shock neoprene cases. However, the Built NY Laptop case comes with handles, a strap and a small pocket that can hold file folders. I find using the handle more convenient and secure than hugging a notebook to my chest, which is the situation you're in if you purchase a handle-less notebook sleeve. Just try running across a campus, juggling the laptop, a small stack of papers, and most likely a hot caffeinated beverage without dropping something. That's two hands full and you won't easily be able to open the door. Get a case with handles/strap. The strap also detaches, is adjustable, and has a cushioned shoulder section (but yet again no anti-slip grip coating).

If Built NY would add a slightly tacky coating to the bottom (or even just dots of it along the corners) so the case can lean against a desk leg without sliding to the ground, and with a double bi-directional zipper often found on sporting jackets/luggage, it would be a solid 5 stars.
