Amazon Basics Hard Case for My Passport Essential External Hard Drive, Black

The AmazonBasics range is a series of products for every day items you use, which make them simpler to use, or just essentials like cases, stylus' or media. They're made to be frustration free, and easy for the end user to pick up and use. This case is both easy to use, and easy to open when you get it from your delivery outlet. Straight from the post man, this case came in a usual Amazon package you'd get DVDs and books in. Inside the cardboard surround was a white bag, and inside that was a clear plastic bag protecting the case. It was all very easy to shed from, and I had access to the case within minutes. The case is black and rather sturdy, it has a nice velvet touch to it, and has a smart Amazon Basics tag on the zip. Inside- we have Amazon's orange to store our precious drive in. One side just has an elasticated strap, the other a mesh. In the mesh, I put the USB cable, in the other part, the drive sits nicely and smugly. I have two cases, one for a WD Studio (Mac) and another for a 2TB drive, which is a lot bigger than this Studio. The both fit in nicely and stop the drive moving in transit. One of the things I found about this is if you hit it, it makes a vibration, like it is balancing out the shake, of course I did this with no hard drive in the case, but it is good to know there is some safety measures put into this. At under a tenner - this is very reasonable and very good value for money. Most of the cases I had before were under £20, and were nowhere as protected as this. This is yet another fine product from Amazon - it may be basic, but it's just what I needed for the drive, and will hopefully be using this for years to come. An essential if you buy any pocket drive, no matter where you get it from.

I purchased this as an alternative to the official TrimUI case, and it's perfect. As I don't carry a large cable, the official case was much bigger than I needed, and had such close fit on the device it was hard to take out. This solves everything- there's a few mm gap around the device to make removing easier, it's about half the thickness of the official case with room for a cleaning cloth and maybe a short cable. The only mod is maybe to fold up the restraining band to keep it clear of the buttons- but as is, it bearly touchs them anyway.

this fits my buffalo hard drive 500gb great its not wedged in at all and sit in nice and snug. it is a lovely case and is very robust and makes you feel confident that it will protect what ever is inside. i also can fit inside the amazonbasic 1.8m usb lead for this. i am so pleased with the case as it was very reasonable and does what it needs to. i will be buying another one for when i purchase a bigger hard drive. Inside it has a strap to hold the hard drive in place and on the other side has a mesh pocket to hold the usb link cable in place. So overall it was an amazing purchase and i would recommend to everyone. 10/10

I already have a number of similar cases for storing my hard drives in, mostly from the Case Logic range like this one Black Case Logic QHDC-101 Hard Drive Case . I ordered this one because it was cheaper and I wanted to see if it was as good, particularly since the Amazon Basics range is normally very good in my experience. The case is good and easily fits my hard drives from Samsung, Seagate etc and is also pretty well-made, even if not up to the standards of the Case Logic version. Would I buy more of the Amazon Basics ones instead? Probably not, but if cost is an issue this one makes a good alternative choice.

I wanted a case to protect my XREAL XBEAM and this one is just the job. A previous search on Amazon only yielded one result that cost twice as much as this one. I prefer the colour of this one compared to the other case which was a light grey and could easily show marks and scuffs. I know this is technically a external hard drive case just repurposed for the XBEAM and the only reason I saw it is because it was a suggestion by Amazon under the case I previously mentioned as an alternative. This case is slightly bigger than the XBEAM which I didn't mind because I had planned to buy a silicone cover for the XBEAM aswell so needed a case slightly bigger as you can see by the attached photos. If you are after a inexpensive case to protect your XBEAM that matches the colour of the XREAL glasses case aswell you won't go far wrong with this choice. I am happy with my purchase.

I bought a 2Tb Passport Feb 2013, and wanted some protection for the device as the archive on it may have to last quite some years. I ordered this following a disspaintment with the WD Nomad Rugged Case. (read on) (Unlike the Nomad) this has a lid that very usefully can easily contain the short USB3-USB2 lead that comes with the Passport in the nylon mesh 'bag' attatched to the lid. The 2Tb Passport fits extremely well in the lower part and is restained by an easy to access elasticated band that is just the right tension. I thought the 1" width was a nice touch giving grip. True this is made in China, but, well, its good. Smooth zip, and I tugged a few bits and they felt like it was not a cheapo rubbish job. Well I expect you want to know how the 2Tb Passport stands up to being dropped onto concrete floor in this. No idea. I may not be the brightest button, but someone else can risk errors on their own Passport when they test it ... :-) however the case gave a medium plasticy feel, and just like a case I bought for my iPhone 3GS, I am expecting the thing to bounce it you drop it. I expect everything will be well protected. In terms of pressure, I'm sure it wont take my 12 stone. Now read this.... I initially ordered (not surprisingly) the WD Nomad Rugged Case for My 2Tb Passport Hard Drive by Western Digital at £12.30, which turns out is a very tough case. When it arrived, I wasn't too impressed by the simple flip catch, although the WD Nomad Rugged Case looks like it could take a tank on top. I was therefore very surprised to find that the 2Tb Passport didn't actually fit... well, almost not. You've really got to close it to the point of overkill. It was just too tight around the Passport. So bottom line. The Nomad should be fine on the slightly thinner 500gb WD but not in my view the 2Tb's. Hope thats helpful

I’ve bought a few items from Amazon Basics range to date and so far its been a wholly positive experience, so I had no hesitation in ordering this carry case for my new WD My Passport 1TB USB 3.0 High Capacity Portable Hard Drive for Mac - Silver. Upon its arrival I noticed that it had been shipped in ‘frustration free’ packaging which was indeed frustration free. I had it open and in use within seconds. On initially feeling the case I was pleased with the strength of the hard shell and after examining the case stitching and general manufacturing quality I was wholly delighted. This case fits my WD My Passport perfectly and I like the interior mesh pocket that holds the USB cable when it is not in use. In the pic I uploaded here you can see that I am backing up to my new drive with the drive sat safely inside the case. I then simply unplugged the USB cable and closed the case. Easy. I feel totally happy with this case in every way, why pay more for a branded product when this case from Amazon Basics is just as good, if not better. Its certainly cheaper and I don’t mind cheaper at all as long as I am not compromising on quality and with this case there is no compromise whatsoever. RECOMMENDED!

After investing in a WD My Passport drive for my travels abroad, I decided that I needed a protective case to save it from the knocks encountered as it bounces around in my day sack. The reviews for the official WD case suggested that their official product was little more than a soft bag, hence not what I needed. I thought this Amazon Basics option would tick all the boxes: Sturdy Compact Cost effective Ordered at 1730 on a Monday evening, arrived Tuesday morning after 10 am. I love Prime! Anyway, after liberating it from the 'frustration free' packaging, I found it to be ideal and indeed, all the boxes were ticked. The zip is strong and the double clam shell design is strong enough to protect the drive from bumps and thumps. Internally, on one side there is a horizontal strap to secure the drive in, and the other has a mesh insert to keep the cable secure separate. There is also plenty of room for adding extra memory sticks and cards inside. Less than £5 to keep all my memory storage together and prevent it from damage. Bargain!

Passt perfekt zur **WD Elements AE 5 TB** (Version 2025). Ich habe lange nach einer passenden Tasche gesucht. Weder KI noch die bisherigen Amazon-Rezensionen konnten eindeutig bestätigen, ob auch die etwas dickere **5-TB-Version** hineinpasst. Daher möchte ich diese Information gerne weitergeben: **Ja, sie passt perfekt!** Die Festplatte misst **110 × 81 × 21 mm**, die Tasche ist mit **119,9 × 93,0 × 16 mm** angegeben. Trotz der geringeren Innenhöhe lässt sich die Festplatte problemlos verstauen. Auch das mitgelieferte USB-Kabel findet Platz, wenn man es flach einlegt und darauf achtet, dass sich Kabel und Anschlüsse nicht überlappen. Ich bin mit der Passform sehr zufrieden und kann die Tasche für die WD Elements AE 5 TB uneingeschränkt empfehlen.

Excellent produit : coque suffisamment rigide que pour bien protéger les disques durs - taille parfaite. Le produit répond pleinement à ce que j'en attendais

Seems a fraction stronger

¡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. 🏢🗄️🔒💼
