Features I liked:- An outside magazine pocket for those plane trips- A thick carrying handle- A nice mouse sized pocket under the clip down flap- Sturdy zippers- Traditional messinger bag styleDown falls:- It screams "steal me" at the airport (but if you like this style bag, what can you do).- 3 CD/DVD storage slots and no USB key drive slots. It has a sturdy feel and holds the laptop perrfectly. This Amazon purchase fits the bill. The handle is very comfortrably padded with a dense rubber grip and the strap is well built with a rubber shoulder pad. I got a great deal on a new Lenovo G530 with a 15.4" screen and needed a new bag to go with it. Local stores were off the hook for pricing (a discount machine needs a discount bag). The width is perfect and the height has 2" to spare.
It's not the case one needs to haul around a computer and a bunch of text books but for small stuff and accessories it has proven to be ideal for our use. Very pleased to say the least. So this, at this price ($12.50) is a spectacular deal. The least expensive thing we found at close out was $20 and I wouldn't carry a magazine around in it much less an expensive piece of electronics. Since we don't carry our computer around every day we were not interested in spending copious amounts of money on THE super case, just something to protect it and make it easy to carry. When the case arrived, we were (and are) very pleased with the quality of the item. We had looked at some of the big box stores and the lower priced cases we saw quite frankly stunk. It securely holds the computer (zipper and velcro) and everything else we need.
what you really get is like the customers picture.(less compactment). Shipping speed was very good. The bag is just okay for the price but not exactly what you have on the picture.The amazon picture is alittle over stated. well it will do the job for me at least.
(He recommends the Sumdex E-Tech Messenger bag. What is shown in the pictures is what I got.John "Thug Life" Lertsakultip writes, "Also, watch out for the handle. There is NO way it is going to suddenly and "mysteriously" fail with no advance warning, first. Lertsakultip must have some extremely soft sensitive hands, because I just don't see how this handle would be uncomfortable to anyone. I don't think it will be sturdy enough if you have to carry lots of things everyday in the bag and will mess up your hands after awhile."REBUTTAL: The carry handle is NOT plastic. Though I don't have one, I have to agree that it DOES look like a nicer bag for a few more bucks. Even if the strap hooks somehow break in the future, this thing has a lifetime replacement warranty.Veruca Salt writes: "I'm concerned long term use will lead to the handle failing and my laptop on the ground broken.
If his Targus is squeaking at the shoulder strap hooks, then he MUST have it WAY overloaded beyond the recommended weight limit. I will be replacing this bag as soon as I can because I'd rather spend $70 on a bag than hundreds of dollars for a new computer."REBUTTAL: IF--and I say IF--the handle fails, you are going to see stress and wear LONG before it actually snaps. It is resistant to any kind of bending. The pictures have been fixed. It's not a padded handle but it's like a weird hard plastic one. Mr.
DO check it out).Bashar Alnarraie "bashar129" writes: "The hook that the straps hook into is plastic, and the endpoints on the shoulder straps are also plastic.Plastic on Plastic = very bad. The handle material is very durable. Just got one of these as a gift, and would like to correct some of the negative comments made by reviewers, here.From several reviewers: "The picture is not accurate".REBUTTAL: This complaint is out-of-date. It is some kind of soft, but very stiff rubberized material. When I'm walking I hear *squeak squeak squeak squeak* It can be very annoying."REBUTTAL: Yes, the hooks are plastic, but they're a very thick plastic.
I put in a 15-inch laptop and it fit snugly and looked great. I LOVE this bag. The Targus TCM004US is a fabulous bag. Best of all, it has a very fashionable design that's not too bulky and looks great on the subway or street.
