1495 Case (Black)

I looked for a few years for a nice briefcase, resolved not to spend $500 for a designer case nor $50 for one from Staples that I knew would get scratched and chewed up in time. I knew I wanted one wide enough and something that would keep everything in place, perhaps even work out of and place on the desk in the passenger seat. This case is awesome, to be sure. The bottom foam layer not only holds the laptop, but keep in mind that the foam is deep enough that folders, pads or brochures can lay underneath or on top, almost an inch of them, that helps. I could envision a more briefcase like bottom, with compartments like the top to hold more things, but it's packed with the easy to pluck or cut foam to keep your expensive Alienware laptop safe. I love the way it closes, combo lock, the latches are designed so well; every time you close it you just know. The handle is nice and ergonomic, with rubber coating; it's heavy, of course, but my other bags were almost 1/2 or 3/4 as much. Since space is at a premium, I think more carefully about what is in it, so no old papers or outdated files cluttering up the space like my old bags. Now when I travel I have everything there, right where I can see it. Be careful when you install the shoulder strap, I had the snap swivels turned inward and they scratched the sides for the first few days. For more room for equipment try the next size up, but this is a very nice, attention getting case that I'll hand down to my son. It would also look very cool all beat up and covered with stickers! For fun, the next time I fly I'm going to get a pair of handcuffs and attach it to my wrist and wear a suit!!!

Heavy duty, legit, ra!

Purchased the case to use with a 17 inch screen lenevo laptop that I use for cad/cam. The interior plug and peel is pre scored for creating a place for the item. I have used several of the pelican cases in the past, to transport camera equipment, jewelry, and firearms and they generally are the best case on the market. I do have three other cases from different manufactures (two of these are from DOD manufacturers for use in Iraq and Afghanistan) and the pelican does seem to be the best made - although the fit and finish on my most recent case is not as good as my first pelican case I purchased over a dozen years ago. It is still very acceptable. This particular model was purchased due to the dimensions of the laptop. Once configured for the laptop, the only space left over was used for flash drives and one half of the power brick/cord combination. I would still buy it again. It is more than adequate for a protecting what is in essence a $10,000 laptop. The only drawback is that the handle, while folded, still will not permit it to be stowed in the overhead compartment on a Bombardier CRJ700 plane. It will however fit underneath the seat. It may fit in the overhead compartments on other planes. Overall a more than adequate pelican case.

I purchased this to use as my Laptop bag/case for my 17" Lenovo laptop. As my Laptop is considered very, very big, I was a little skeptical at first, worrying that a lot of money would be wasted because there wouldn't be a very decent chance of my laptop fitting inside this case. My Laptop screen is 17" itself, and with my laptop being a Lenovo, it is a little wider than the standard 17" laptop because of the cosmetic design. It's a little odd shaped along the edges, making it more wide than a standard laptop... Lenovo likes their products to literally, and figuratively, "Stick out", I guess you could say. But after receiving it and plucking out the foam, my fears and concerns were quickly subsided.... My Laptop was a perfect fit inside this case! There was still plenty of room around the inside foam wall padding to provide adequate protection for my laptop. I have no doubts that if I were to drop this case that my laptop would truly be completely secure. The ruggedness of this case is EVERYTHING you would expect from pelican, as they have clearly used the same specs and quality in the designing of this case as they do for all of their gun cases as well. I would absolutely buy this case again, and when the day comes that I purchase another, or different laptop, then I actually will buy this case again!

It's a nice bit of money to pay for a case - but when you have it in your hands any doubts will fade away. My main concern upon buying it was the latches/hinges might be too flimsy for my liking, but everything about this case is very robust. I'm quite pleased. I will put it through its paces but I'm confident that this will last forever and will protect its contents from just about anything.

Sin duda algo que vale la pena tener, los equipos adentro se quedan bastante seguros. Lo utilice para una lap top con pantalla 15.6 y me quedo espacio suficiente y exacto para mouse, cargador y memorias usb o hasta un disco duro

Excellent, quality .

Amazing product protects my laptop really well
