This review is from: Case Logic VNA-216 16-Inch Laptop Attache (Black) (Personal Computers)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program(What’s this?)
Please note, there are 4 sizes (10, 10.2, 14, and 16 inches) of the same case type; I am writing a review of the 16-inch case.
This is a well-made but relatively inexpensive bag for a laptop PC. It is so light that I can barely feel its weight, but it still has sufficient padding to protect its contents against bumps during everyday use.
This is NOT the kind of case with zippers that can be pulled further to the left and right sides when you open the bag. In other words, the opening for you to put in and take out things is very small. Does this matter? Yes, if you have a laptop PC that measures diagonally 15.6 to 16 inches. The fit is snug, and because of the narrow opening, putting in and taking out a computer is not that smooth and easy. Although the zippers are plastic, there is a chance of them scraping against the computer’s edges. I would not recommend this case if you have concerns about this aspect. If your computer is a netbook, which is about 10 inches diagonal, then this case will be fine.
There is an USB thumb drive pocket in the main compartment, where the computer is stored, but I feel it is not a good location, because it is likely to chafe against the laptop computer. There are two side pockets. I use the larger one to store AC adapter, cord, mouse pad, and mouse.
I deem this bag more suitable for carrying smaller laptops. It is not suitable for 15.6 to 16-inch laptops because of the tight fit.
Update (2-4-2011):
Case Logic has another 16-inch case that zipper opens three sides instead of just one. It is called Case Logic VNCi-116 Value 16-Inch Laptop Briefcase. It will easily fit any 16-inch notebook computer. Even my 17.3-inch HP DV7 can be accommodated in the case. You can read my review on its web page on Amazon.com.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program(What’s this?)
This laptop bag is very well padded inside that I almost wanted this bad for my cameras. The design looks very simple, yet the interior pockets and padding are very well made. Because of its cloth material, it feels little bit cheap, but then again it is very light. There is also enough room for two laptops, maybe one 13 inch Mac book Pro and a 10 inch Net book, with all the power blocks in the front pocket. There is an additional small pocket for a cell phone or other small accessories, and I liked this pocket a lot because it is easy to reach, not to mention its location is convenient. I could not find any cons about this bag, not only because it comes with a shoulder strap, but also because it has a “25 Years Quality Guarantee” stamp. I probably won’t use this bag for 25 years, but it is good to know that the company guarantees its product. Also, if one prefers to use this bag for carrying light, thin books/notebooks for classes or conferences, this bad works well for this purpose as well. For this bag’s weight and quality, the price is ideal.

|very well padded,
This laptop bag is very well padded inside that I almost wanted this bad for
my cameras. The design looks very simple, yet the interior pockets and
padding are very well made. Because of its cloth material, it feels little
bit cheap, but then again it is very light. There is also enough room for
two laptops, maybe one 13 inch Mac book Pro and a 10 inch Net book, with all
the power blocks in the front pocket. There is an additional small pocket
for a cell phone or other small accessories, and I liked this pocket a lot
because it is easy to reach, not to mention its location is convenient. I
could not find any cons about this bag, not only because it comes with a
shoulder strap, but also because it has a “25 Years Quality Guarantee”
stamp. I probably won’t use this bag for 25 years, but it is good to know
that the company guarantees its product. Also, if one prefers to use this
bag for carrying light, thin books/notebooks for classes or conferences,
this bad works well for this purpose as well. For this bag’s weight and
