Case Logic 17.3-Inch Laptop Bag (VNCI-217),Black

great bag and produdct. nice protection all around. have used for years. highly recommend.

I don't see too many follow up reviews on an existing product from about 8 years ago so I thought I'd post one! I actually bought this exact same bag in 2016 (I'm posting this review in mid 2024). After years of abuse by me overstuffing the bag with my 17" laptop, chargers, cables, and way too many papers, the zipper finally came loose and the handle was also starting to wear out.In my opinion, it lasted a lot longer than it should have based on how I overused it so I feel it was a great purchase and it is only about $5 more today than it was then so inflation hasn't totally jacked up the price yet. Thanks to Amazon's order history I was able to find the same bag and just purchased it again. You'll be happy with this one and it will probably last twice as long as mine did or more if you just use it like most normal people would.

Bought this thing for work and for on-the-go gaming. I have a newer Samsung Series 7 laptop in here (the ivy bridge/kepler one.) and I couldn't be happier.It has plenty of space inside the main compartment for my laptop (17 inches- and still has room for more.) and the power brick (which is bigger than most.)- you could easily fit an ASUS G-Series + power supply in the main compartment.The front of the laptop has a big nice pocket, which seems like it never fills. Currently, I have a wireless mouse (regular size), headphones, iPhone charger, x2 GoFlex portable hard drives + USB adapter, and a Storm of Swords (A big, thick, paper back book.) and I still have room for more. I am also surprised that the despite being packed the front pocket never seems to bulge.There is also another pocket inside the main compartment, almost the flap, which fits any tablet of your choice nicely. I normally use it to tout around my WACOM tablet and iPad. They fit in there rather nicely.The strap is good and supportive. Does not feel flimsy. I guess the material the bad is made out of is nice. Not too scratchy. Zippers function great. Never had any of them stick on me yet.I do want to talk about, what I think, is the unsung hero of this bag. The handle. It is awesome. It straddles the line or reality and somehow is a state of squishy and firm. It feels great is all i can say. I often find myself just grabbed the handle and squishing it in my hands. It feels like a stress ball.Overall, I think this bag does a hell of a job. And the price of the thing! Super cheap. I think you would be hard pressed to find a bag of similar quality and size at a close price point.TL;DR This is pretty much a bag of holding (It's a D&D item. Bag of holding = a magic bag than can hold things larger than its own size.)

Good price, great protection for my lap top.

It is durable, but lightweight. I liked it so much a bought another one for our other laptop.Space:Have 17.3 in laptop. It fit with room to spare. I could fit the power adapter, usb keyboard (I hate laptop keypads), and usb mouse with room to spare for a folder of notes, a book, and my tablet. (Still had room to spare after that).Pockets:The outside zippered pocket has 3 mini-pockets (open-unzippered) that are approximately 3.5x3.5 in. It also has 2 elastic bands to hold pens. you can use the rest of this pocket to hold a couple paper backs, your tablet/e-reader (or both), or a file folder (however, the file folder will be a bit too tall and you won't be able to zip the pocket closed). To me, this was an allowable trade-off for a case that can hold a lot of gear and not be bulky. I'm a klutz and the strap has slipped off my shoulder letting the bag hit the ground...my computer is fine.Look and feel:The nylon canvas is good quality (tightly woven). It doesn't look cheap and holds up well (doesn't snag easily or fray easily).Inside the main compartment is a large pocket, this is the one I would recomend to hold file folders and other papers. It is an open pocket, but since it is in the main compartment, you wouldn't need a zipper anyway. This is long enough it could hold a legal sized folder.Padding:The padding is about half an inch thick on all sides except the bottom (opposite of the handle). On the bottom it is a bit thinner. The seams are along the bottom on either side, so the corners aren't as protected.

I debated on whether to buy this case or purchase a more expensive one w/ more features ...and in the end, I couldn't resist the price of this particular model and I'm pretty pleased now that I have it.Rather than be redundant to a previous 2013 feedback posting ('A budget case with some compromises'), where I feel the write-up is very well spot-on, I will only offer some recommendations for better product experience.1. The minimal internal padding can be beefed-up very easily & inexpensively. Just use at least 1/4" thick high-density sheet foam which can be bought for less than $5 at any home improvement type store...or better yet, go to any furniture store because they typically throw away tons of it (that's where I got mine for free ;-) It can be easily trimmed to fit the internal dimensions of the case itself ...Now this modification won't improve corner reinforcement nor its lack of not having a sturdier internal frame (i.e., as mentioned by other posters), but in my opinion, if that's what you require, you'd be better off with a more expensive briefcase anyway ...btw, good luck finding one that will comfortably accommodate a 17.3" laptop that won't cost significantly more than this one.2. Replace the plastic D-rings (i.e., intended for the strap) with metal ones. Cost, less than $1 and problem solved.In conclusion, if you are looking for a inexpensive light-use case for a 17.3" laptop that has more than adequate space for the 'usual suspect' computer peripherals, this is hard to beat for the low price and overall functionality.
