Fantastic case for a fantastic price

When I decided I needed a new case for my laptop, I set myself a budget of £40. When I saw this and its incredibly low price on Amazon, I had my doubts but I decided to risk it anyway ... and I'm so glad that I did.

This case is smart enough for office workers and cheap enough for students. An adjustable velcro band stores your laptop securely and there is a strap provided to make it easy to carry the case around. There are wallets and pockets for almost anything that you would wish to have handy when out and about.

Made for 15-inch screen laptops, the case is not massive by any means but it's still big enough to house all those essential accessories. In addition to my laptop, I have managed to fit in the bulky power cable, portable speakers, a USB modem, a mouse and a USB hub. There's still plenty of space left for CDs, pads, documents, etc.

Belkin have thought of everything and have come up with a top product which should really be much more expensive that it is. So don't hesitate like me and do your laptop a favour by getting one!

Protection, Protection, Protection

To start, great case design. Very modern. Doesn't look as much like a laptop case than other ones which means you're less likely to get robbed when carrying your kit around. Despite its size, there are loads of hidden compartments and bigger obvious ones. Comes with a little case to put you"mp3"(it screams iPod) in. The big seller, is the amount of protection this case gives. Has a protective sleeve that you pull out and put the laptop in. Then all this goes in the case which has even more protection than the sleeve. Sealed by a zip and the velcro flap, it gives it the best protection around. Its a little fiddly to get the laptop out of the sleeve at first but you get used to it. The sleeve is better for more modern, slimmer laptops (like the Dell Inspiron 1525, the one I have). I bought this for the sole purpose of protecting my laptop. If thats what you're looking for, this is the case for you.

Does what it says on the tin!

I bought the Belkin Laptop Cooling Stand mainly due to the reasonable price and the fact that no external power supply is needed for the fan. The stand is great and even comes with a handy storage section for the cable (but the door is a little stiff to open). There's also an option to use the stand on a desk using the fold-out foot at the rear.

One disadvantage of the stand is that it doesn't cope well with 15.4" screen laptops, but I've overcome this by turning it around 180 degrees.

And yes, no more hot laps!

Excellent!

Excellent! I have quite a large 17ins and was really worried anything I bought wouldn't fit (past experience) even after checking the dims, but this is great, seemed to expand around my laptop and keeps it dust free and in tip top! Great product and quick. Dell took 6 weeks and still couldn't deliver!!

Brilliant fit and quality

This was a perfect fit for my 15" toshiba, it is of good quality, good protection and looks good too. very pleased :)

Reeeally easy to install!

I found this wireless card extremely easy to install. All I had to do was click 'Install' and 'Finish' and it was pretty much working straight away, which is great because installing these things can sometimes be a bit of a nightmare!

Good value, well designed notebook case

This notebook case ticks all the boxes when it comes to design, construction, and value. The only design improvement I would recommend is the addition of a rubber base - the English weather being what it is. The interior has enough pockets and zips to ensure items won't fall out when you open the bag, and not so many that you have to spend 5 minutes trying to find where you stowed them. The plush lining also means there's no need to buy an additional neoprene liner. My only significant gripe is that Belkin only offers half the choice of colours here in the UK than is available in the US. There's just no excuse for this given the size of the UK market, and it doesn't make sense for a company the size of Belkin to limit its own sales potential. But all in all a great value notebook case that doesn't look like it came from a pound shop.

Good product awful style

Does the job of keeping your lap cool. Makes for an awkward typing height but the screen is much better (obviously higher) and I find myself sitting much straighter.

The space in the middle supposedly for the power supply is woeful - use it to store the TV remote.

Colour scheme is bugly - Ikea colours at their worst. Fabric could have been recycled from old 60s sofas. Not my taste as you can guess.

Despite the problems a really good buy - cheap for how much impact it makes. I used to rest my laptop on books, trays, bits of wood(!!!) - no more.

Comfy and does the job!

I have a 17" laptop which gets extremely hot on the lap. I was pleasently surprised that the CushTop does exactly what has been specified by the product details. Upon first appearance it looks quite thick and bulky, but this is actually an advantage because my screen is now perfectly at eye level. Its is very light and quite sturdy and most importantly I cannot feel any heat from my laptop. Only disadvantage which is minor is that the smell of the CushTop is pretty distinctive! Its is quite overpowering but I have been researching on the net that the smell does wear off fortuntely. I would definately recommend this product its one of the best on the market.

What? No review?

I recently purchased a new 17" laptop (Dell XPS M1730) and have been researching cases for stowing it away safely.
I found the measurements quoted to sometimes be very confusing and obviously inaccurate. I knew my laptop wasn't on the slim side so wanted to make sure what I was buying would fit (for info my laptop is 41 x 32 x 5.5 cm).
I resorted to researching the manufacturer's websites for technical specs and finally made a choice to purchase this case (apparently like 67% of other customers who had also viewed the same case - so a little puzzled why there was no review if it's that popular).

Anyway, the case itself is good, it won't win any style awards but it's practical and being plain black shouldn't annoy anyone. It feels well made with solid sides and metal clasps on the carry handle and shoulder strap (important if your laptop is on the weighty side). There's a document compartment on the front and a pocket on the back. Inside there's plenty of room for my laptop with more storage pockets for various items. There's a strap to keep your laptop safe and a divider to take up the any spare space. There is a zip padlock, which is the usual flimsy affair, like what you get on some luggage cases.

All in all a nice practical case that will keep my laptop protected while on the move. I would recommend this if you have a large 17" laptop like me.

Nice but enough?

This bag has lots of little and large pockets and there is no need for a separate laptop sleeve, as it's well protected in between the padded pocket in the main compartment of the bag. The base of the bag is padded and would withstand a hardy knock, and the canvas is very hardwearing too.
A few downsides to the bag though, once you have your laptop safely ensconced in the bag there is not much room for the charger, it does fit in there but its a tight fit, and although there are extra pockets for books etc, I couldn't get them in and I have a slim laptop (Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo Pi 2515).The bag itself is a little weighty although this is what happens when you get such good padding I suppose.
It is a very smart laptop bag and if you dont want to carry your charger around with you then its perfect. At £23 I think its hard to beat.

Great bag but too small

I purchased this bag for a 15.4" laptop. The bag is everything the other two reviewers said it was but my Acer laptop will simply not fit into it. I am unfortunately having to return it and go for a bigger bag.
If you have a small laptop - go for it.

This bag is the mutts nuts!!

Ordered this bag after hunting high and low for a bag that would carry my Samsung laptop and also a couple of folders as I really don't like the standard laptop bags. Received the bag quickly and I'm chuffed to pieces! Its got loads of compartments, a padded sleeve for the laptop and even a little Pod holder with a mirror. Only drawback being the carrying handles aren't really shoulder straps as well unless you're not wearing your winter coat! Overall.... I love it!
