Decent laptop rolling case priced appropriately
This rolling laptop case is basically a decent product; nothing particularly special. It feels a bit heavy (and so you’ll be inclined to use the wheels), and the telescoping handle a little less sturdy than you’d like.
I tested the case in an unusual way: since I don’t have much of a need for what it’s really intended—carrying a laptop, papers, files, books and writing instruments to business meetings or school classes—I used it for an overnight business trip involving a couple of flights, auto rental, and lots of walking. In other words, the case got a good workout. It rolled over walkways and streets, bounced over curbs, went up and down escalators and elevators, was thrown into a car trunk, and jostled around a hotel. In it I had packed an MS Surface Pro 3, a file folder with papers, a Kindle, a couple of chargers, a magazine, some pens, a change of clothes, a sweater, a pair of slippers, toiletries and shaving kit (still can’t get a safety razor through airport security), a few small gifts, a tin of Altoids (“Curiously Strong Mints”), and a large apple. I pretty much maxed out the case’s space. It worked out well, but I point out again that the case wasn’t really intended for use like that.
The material is fine; what you’d typically expect in luggage these days. The zippers buckled a little with the load I described above, but they were not damaged. I’m a couple of inches short of 6 feet; I think if I had been any taller the telescoping handle would have been too short. There’s a Velcro strap inside to secure your laptop, which is great unless you need to remove your laptop for airport security (register for TSA Pre and you can avoid that). With normal use (i.e., loaded with laptop, folders, and books) I think you would find it a decent case, but if the contents were heavy I’d recommend using the carrying straps vice the telescoping handle as much as you can.
Over all, I recommend the case. It’s priced fine for the level of quality.
