Case Logic 13.3" Molded Laptop Sleeve (QNS-113-BLACK), One-Size

We bought this exact same bag in the 11" size for an 11" Acer Timeline X five years ago. Since that time, it has withstood daily use over four full years of college, numerous cross-country trips between school and home and two trips to South America. It was also used daily during summer breaks for summer employment. After all those years of constant use, traveling and occasional rough handling, you'd think the stitching and fabric would be frayed and the bag would look worn and beat. Well, I'm looking at the bag right now sitting next to the two 13" size bags I just ordered for a Macbook Air and Asus Zenbook. It still looks brand new. In fact, it now houses a Chromebook and still looks and works as good as the day we bought it. I included a photo of the older 11" bag sitting atop the new 13" bag. Take a look at the handles, body and zipper and remember this bag was used daily for four years and for cross-country and international travel. There is no ripping, nor fraying of the handles. The zipper does not show any signs of exposed metal from worn paint. The bag shows no signs of abuse despite withstanding years of daily handling.Inside the bag, the top is nicely padded and the bottom is a rigid non-padded surface for a reason. It's designed to allow you to keep the laptop in the bag while using it. It may seem like a trivial feature but it proves especially useful, especially during flights when you can just open the case and start using the laptop with no need to stow the case away. These bags are super-light. The 13" bags aren't much heavier than the 11". Despite being feather-light, the 11" bag did a fantastic job protecting the Acer over the years. The 11" bag was my daughter's. It was purchased during her senior year of high school and lasted throughout college and beyond. When my wife and I recently needed bags for our new 13" laptops, I had only one bag on my mind, this one. I was so relieved to see it was still available.One final note, although I am a Vine member, I did not receive any of these bags "free" for review. Some Vine members apparently did receive the bags but I wasn't one of them. All three bags were purchased with my own funds.

I purchased Case Logic's QNS-113 EVA Molded Laptop with my ASUS U32U laptop. I had hoped it would be a suitable protective case, and it is -- in fact, I like it more than I expected to. I figured the lack of a shoulder strap would annoy me, but the computer is so light that it doesn't really matter.I love the fact that I can throw this in my backpack with my school stuff, or in a pannier on my bike, or behind the seats in the cab of my husband's truck and not worry about it. I wouldn't run it over with a car or tap-dance on it, but for the minor impacts of daily life, it gets the job done just fine.UPDATE: In the semester-and-a-few-weeks that I've had it, I've dropped my notebook while in this case two or three times. The computer has taken no damage and the case still looks good as new. The case is solid.The fact that I can simply unzip the case and use my computer without removing it comes in really handy at school. It'll also come in really handy at the airport (I travel a fair bit).There's no external pocket for my power cord on this thing (it is, after all, sold as a protective sleeve), but if I'm out long enough to drain this particular notebook's battery, I'm very likely to have another bag with me anyway (either my backpack at school or a carry-on for travel).I've decided that if I want a shoulder strap for this thing, I can just attach one to the handles. Thus far, though, I haven't needed one. I've even occasionally ridden my bike around campus with the handles either on my wrist or in my hand -- they're not thick enough to interfere with my grip on the handlebars. I wouldn't ride miles and miles that way, but from one building to another on my smallish campus, it's fine.Another quick update: with the ASUS U32U securely in place, there's still enough room in this case to toss a few papers or a thin spiral-bound notebook in when I'm in a hurry. I just tuck them under the computer and go. Comes in handy!

I bought this case for my ASUS UL30A 13.3" notebook laptop. It is a perfect fit for this ultralight. This laptop has up to a 12 hour charge cycle, so I don't need to carry a charger, and it has a dimple tap logic mousepad, so I don't need to carry an external mouse. A 13" Apple would work just as well.The bottom of the case is made of stiffer material and has ribbing that allows air to circulate under your laptop while it is operating in the case - which I always do.The top of the case has extra padding which allows it to adjust to any thickness laptop.It has an elastic safety strap inside so that the laptop doesn't slip out when you are opening the case in an uneven environment, such as in a moving vehicle or air transportation. You can always just lay the laptop on top of the strap if you choose not to use this feature.It has two elastic side straps that allow the laptop to be viewed from any angle from within the case, which I always do. The first few times, you will need to tuck the side straps into the case away from the zipper pulls. After a few weeks of opening and closing the case, the side straps will form themselves to tuck inside every time.It has two extra-strong fabric handles with padded reinforcement in the grip area. It also uses dual zipper pulls making it easier to close without needing to rotate the case.BTW, I noticed where someone grumbled about this case not having any pockets. Well, this is not a case. It's a sleeve. It's not appropriate to take away a star because a product doesn't have a feature that it shouldn't have anyway.This is a great case at a reasonable price. I heartily recommend it.
