Summary: As many pockets as you need
Comment: This product is incredible. You have like a hundred zippers and pockets. You can fit 2 noteboos without any issues and still have room for files and accesories.

Summary: Won't fit ALL 17" laptops...but very nice case
Comment: I bought a Toshiba P205-S6347 which has a 17" widescreen display. This case lists being capable of holding a 17" lcd, but not mine. It fits...but just barely. After having a laptop previously, I keep a cloth cover over the LCD lid to protect the top of the case from surface scratches. When I slide it in the case, it just barely clears the internal "carry case". I can feel the stress to the zipper if I close the internal portable case. I can close the external zipper fairly easily, but frustrating if it doesn't close easy. Other than that, I really like this case and will keep it. It is very durable, comfortable, nice looking, and has plenty of storage space. Overall, this is a good buy.

Summary: Solid notebook case
Comment: I recently bought a 17" MacBook Pro and had a relatively hard time finding a case I liked. I bought a Targus backpack, which was high quality, but just too big. I wanted a messenger style bag, but couldn't find anything that I liked and was somewhat sturdy. I talked with my brother who has this exact case and has used it for about a year. During that time he's made several international trips and the case has stood up to the punishment. With his recommendation I bought the case.

Things I like about the case: it's sturdy, the contour side is nice when but isn't a big selling point for me, there are plenty of small pockets; there's enough room for files and a couple of books, the price on Amazon is good, the strap has a stretch pad that is comfortable, and my favorite feature is the case within a case. This second case provides excellent protection for my Mac and can be used as a separate case.

What I don't like: when I ordered the case, the first one had a defective zipper - Amazon was prompt with the exhange, but it left me a little worried that the zippers might be a problem over time. So far they are fine.

Summary: Good from far, but far from good
Comment: This bag sounds better than it really is. The strap fell apart in a month and the zipper tabs cracked off within two.

Do not buy!!!

Summary: Good but not great
Comment: I have had this case for over 2 years, with light use (mostly when I travel). My 17" HP Pavilion zd7133 is a desktop replacement, thus, a heavy laptop.

Pros:

1) Lots of pockets and sleeves for cables, gadgets, and paperwork.
2) Nice shoulder strap
3) Case-within-a-case is nice. You can use the smaller case to go to a wifi cafe for web surfing. It has a handle and zipper.
4) Good as a carry-on bag on plane trips.

Cons:

1) The rubber zipper pulls break after light use. Now it is very hard to use the zippers that don't have pulls on them.
2) No good place to put the power brick. The brick makes the case very thick.
3) No wheels
4) The small padded sleeve won't work with a 17" laptop. Toss it or give it away.

I'm not sure there is a better 17" laptop bag. Some hotshot designer needs to invent one that can handle the power brick while mainting a somewhat slim profile.

For non-business users, a padded computer backpack might be a better choice.
