Amazon Basics Small Hard Shell Portable External Hard Drive Carrying Case with Mesh Pocket for My Passport Essential, Black

Bought this to put a Unifi Travel Router in while traveling. I can fit the UTR and a small power block and short cable in it perfectly. Case is durable and protective, capacity is good, great price!

Excellent fit for my Toshiba Canvio Advance 1TB Portable External Hard Drive and its cable! I was mostly looking for something that wasn’t too bulky and would just keep the hard drive safe in my bag, and this is perfect. There’s minimal padding and no dedicated spot for SD cards, so this may not be the best option if that’s what you’re looking for. Works great for me though!

I bought this for my external HD but it was just a tad too small. However, I can definitely use it for my mini microphone set, the attachment for the back of my phone for the rear facing camera and they fit perfectly. If I can find this a little bigger I will buy again. Zipper works great, and it really is a hard case!!!

I have multiple external hard-drives, some of them are bulky and are meant to keep a backup at home. Some of them are smaller ones which I use to carry my photos and other files around with me while I am traveling or transporting data between home and office. Two of them are small 1TB and 2TB USB3.0 hard-drives. I wanted to buy a case for them. After considering a lot of hard and soft cases from various sellers, I stumbled upon this and thought of giving it a try. And it was a wise decision !!! As I always say, Amazon Basics items are equivalent (if not better) to quality in other comparable items from different manufacturers and yet they are available at almost half the price (and sometimes even lesser than that). I have many of the Amazon Basics items and I am not unhappy with any of them. And this is no exception. A few good things: 1. The exterior is pretty hard and you can rest assured that your HDD will be protected even if this case is buried deep down in the luggage. 2. Soft interior makes sure that the HDD stays safe even if there is some pressure on it from other items in the luggage. 3. This case is made for HDD which do not require an external power because there is not much space inside for any adapter. However, there is a mesh pocket which can be used to store the USB cod safely. 4.Even if its hard and durable, the case is pretty light-weight and wont ad much weight to your luggage. 5. Although its advertised for Western Digital My Passport but it can be used to store other USB powered HDDs which are up to 5 inches in dimension. I have one of these for my Seagate 1 TB HDD. 6. It also has an elastic band to hold the HDD securely in the case while in use. 7. The zipper is of very good quality and will not fail on you anytime soon. Cons: The only disadvantage I can think of this case is that there is none. If I have to count one, I would say it would have been better had they made a small zipper pocket inside the case (which would be of great use to photographers like me to also store their memory cards in it while on a trip. All in all, this is an excellent case at excellent price. AMAZONBASICS DOES IT AGAIN !!!!!

This case fits the WD My Passord SE 750 GB/ 1TB edition well, with some extra space to spare. It has two pockets which can be used for either the hard drive or the cable. The picture was accurate and showed this quite well. The shell is quite hard, and offers excellent protection from pressure and moderate bumps (not sure how it would hold up with drops...). There is a little extra space for one or two additional cables of similar size to the one that comes with the hard drive. Given that, everything is still extremely secure in both pockets. The zipper is shielded from the inside of the case to avoid scratching - a good design technique. My largest criticism for this case is that there isn't much padding. There is a very thin protective layer that composes the orange material, but it's about 1 millimeter thick and doesn't act well as padding. Because of this, I wouldn't count on exemplary drop protection. Also, there is minimal padding protection between the two sides. I could see sharp objects (especially cable heads) from the screened pocket scratching a hard drive. Also, the fit for the hard drive a little tight in either pocket, making it a wee bit difficult to remove or insert. On the other hand this does offer a very secure fit. Because of the fitting issues, but mostly for the lack of a more protective divider inside the case, I don't think this case quite deserves 5-stars. WD offers a case (which has been criticized as being more accurately represented as a sleeve) that is softer and smaller, but it doesn't offer the same level of crush/pressure protection that this one does. Because the Amazon case is larger, it's doesn't fit an average size pocket well. As a size comparison: the WD case fits inside the Amazon case with the hard drive and USB cable present inside itself. The fit is tight though and I wouldn't doing this recommend this for practical use. Bottom line: this case does what is advertised to do. Personally, I prefer the WD edition. I'm still satisfied with this edition - the WD case just better suits my needs (the small size of the WD case is really nice). I'd recommend this case for anyone looking for the extra protection. The 4 stars are well earned. I'd give 4.25 stars if possible.

It provides excellent protection for the external hard drive and connecting cable that I use for computer backups. It is strong, but lightweight.

I've really gotten to like the Amazon Basics line of peripherals. As a quick example we needed a few HDMI cables for different applications, I have always in the past chosen Monster Cables although have always taken that micro thin gold plating as more of marketing ploy than a true benefit albeit perhaps for the most die hard audiophile. The Monster Cables in the size we needed are sold at places like Best Buy between $69 and $89 - Amazon Basics cables a mere $9.99, it was a no brainer. The cables are excellent, not a single problem and no compromise in audio or video whatsoever. This case is no exception - just perfect for you're Passport. I ordered the 2 TB in black and saw this case pop up on the lower part of the buy page and figured we;;, that makes sense - I hadn't thought about a case. The case itself fits the My Passport perfectly and it's surprisingly well made. A tight outer Nylon shell that looks and feels like Neoprene, sturdy coasted zipper with an Amazon Logo rubber pull and close tab is a nice little touch. Inside there's plenty of room for room the Passport which is held securely in place by a wide elastic easy to slide into band - a mesh pocket on the other holds your USB cable and a few other small items if you need it too. Remember the case is not a "Hard Shell" but it's robust enough to protect your Passport, the cable and a few other items from both the elements and with fingers crossed an unfortunate drop. It's great for when your on the run, need to grab your grab you external drive in hurry and go! It's fit in oversized pockets and I would imagine any briefcase, shoulder bag or Lap Top carrying bag with ease. As for the Amazon Basics Packaging - I'm a fan. Less crap in our landfills, easy to open and you still get every single item and all instructions, paper - works etc that you would in retail packaging. What is more, to those of you who can emphasis with how much I despise those hermetically sealed heavy duty clamshell packages which you need the "JAWS OF LIFE" to one get open and two - not cut yourself this is major improvement. Great Case, Under 6 bucks! PRIME membership gives you two day free shipping, simply a terrific value.

I purchased this Amazon Basics Hard Shell Case for my 4 Tb Western Digital Passport drive. I keep All of my Cricut (everything) on this drive, and work off of it, too. (It saves my laptop from an over-load). I was skeptical this hard case would be too small when it arrived. But! It fits perfect! My drive is safer in this case than it was in it's original box! And, the best part, I can leave it in this case while using it! It is easy to put in and take out of the case, a little snug, but still not hard to work with. The case is made very well. It's a Nylon look and feel, yet, it has a hard plastic feel to it for protection, and I know with confidence, it will protect my drive! Check out the 2 photos I attached. The price was not that high and was money well spent! I will buy from this brand again and I highly recommend you do to.

¡Saludos, comunidad de compradores! Comparto con ustedes mi experiencia con la funda para disco externo de Amazon Basics. Como alguien que valora la seguridad y protección de sus datos, esta funda ha sido un hallazgo invaluable para resguardar mis preciados discos duros externos. Permítanme presentarles mi reseña sobre esta funda que ofrece tranquilidad y practicidad en un diseño minimalista. 💯👌 🎁📦 Presentación y empaquetado: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Como siempre, nada que reprochar a Amazon en este sentido. La funda llegó en un paquete protegido y al abrirlo encontré la funda en un elegante color negro, que es perfecto para pasar desapercibido, pero al mismo tiempo lucir bien. La calidad del material y los acabados son notables, ofreciendo una sensación de durabilidad y resistencia. Aunque el empaquetado es sencillo, cumple su función para proteger la funda durante el envío. 🛡️🔒 Protección y seguridad: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Esta funda se ve de muy buena calidad y ofrece una protección confiable para mis discos duros externos, sobre todo para mi disco duro de la marca WD (Western Digital) de 5TB que al ser HDD es especialmente sensible a golpes y caídas. Su interior está forrado con un material rígido y suave al tacto que ayuda a amortiguar los golpes y proteger de arañazos y daños, y también incluye una correa elástica con la finalidad de que los discos no se muevan dentro de la funda y que al momento de abrirla no se caigan por accidente. La carcasa exterior resistente también protege bien contra el polvo, la humedad y otros elementos que podrían dañar los dispositivos. Además, algo que realmente aprecio es que la funda incluye una pequeña bolsa de gel de sílice en su interior. Aunque pueda parecer insignificante, estas bolsas son conocidas por su función de proteger productos de la humedad, lo que brinda una capa adicional de seguridad para proteger mi valioso disco duro de problemas futuros. 🛡️🔒💻📦 🎈🎯 Diseño y portabilidad: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ El diseño es minimalista, funcional, y su color negro discreto le da un toque elegante y profesional. Los materiales se ven de muy buena calidad. Tiene un tamaño compacto de 13.2 x 10.5 x 3.8 cm, lo que permite que quepa perfectamente en mi mochila o maletín cuando viajo, o simplemente guardarlo en casa sin que ocupe mucho espacio. La cremallera de calidad asegura un cierre seguro y fácil acceso a mis discos cuando los necesito. También aprecio la practicidad del diseño, ya que tiene un bolsillo de malla interna donde puedo guardar cables o accesorios relacionados con los discos externos, manteniéndolo todo en un solo lugar. ✍️ Conclusión: A pesar de sus características positivas, creo que es importante mencionar que la protección que ofrece cualquier funda, independientemente del tipo, puede no ser suficiente para situaciones extremas. Los materiales utilizados pueden no brindar una protección total contra impactos severos o caídas desde alturas considerables, por lo cual recomiendo siempre tener cuidado con tus discos, recuerda que esto es solo una protección extra. Dejando lo anterior de lado, he de decir que la funda para disco externo de Amazon Basics, es, sin duda, una adición imprescindible para aquellos que buscan proteger sus discos duros externos de forma segura y práctica, especialmente si se trata de HDDs delicados como mi disco WD de 5TB. Su diseño minimalista y resistente, así como sus características adicionales como el bolsillo de malla interna, la correa elástica y la inclusión de la bolsa de gel de sílice (pequeño detalle que realmente aprecio, ya que demuestra el compromiso de Amazon Basics con la protección de los dispositivos almacenados en la funda), lo convierten en una opción excepcional. Si valoras la seguridad y protección de tus datos, esta es una pequeña inversión que te brindará tranquilidad en tus desplazamientos o en el almacenamiento en casa. Con esta funda, tus valiosos discos estarán resguardados con la protección que merecen. 🏢🗄️🔒💼

Overall Purchase: Recommended Main reason to buy case for me is to protect disk from scratches and to organize USB and disk together. So it's a perfect case of hard disk. I am keeping my WD My Passport hard drive along with USB and few pen drives. I am using this case from last two months so can't comment on durability but everything else is perfect so happy with the purchase. Likes: Quality is good. Looks elegant and I bought it for Rs. 369(including tax and shipping) so seems very reasonable. Zip is quite smooths. Dislikes: Nothing so far. * not waterproof if you are wondering
