How protective is this case? Will the laptop stay protected if it is placed in a messenger bag and carried around?

I find this case very protective. Although, I don't drop it, or throw my laptop around. Lol. I carry my laptop in the case all the time in my backpack to school. Its a very thick cushion-y case, and fits snugly to my MacBook Pro. No shifting or moving in it's case.

I'm very protective of my MacBook and keep it in a rubberized hard cover besides this case. Double protection can't hurt!

It's more of a protection from scratch and dust, rather than maybe a fall. Padding is quite thick. From experience, I carried my laptop in this case inside a backpack for a long-haul flight (USA to KL) and they survived. I hope this helps :)

Its not difficult to take off and it doesn't scratch the laptop when you do so. However, the gaps in the bottom of the case can let in a lot of dust and things that can potentially scratch the bottom of the laptop.

It is pretty good. For the price I am very happy with it. I have had this one for about 6 months. I have taken it on trips and have dropped it with my laptop in it with out issue. Well worth it.

It seems pretty durable to me. Although I do carry it in a bookbag with a laptop sleeve as well, so it's pretty well protected. As long as you aren't using it as a weapon or a hammer, it should work pretty well for you.

There is also a strap in the bottom (when it's opened) section of the case which would help to secure it too. One of my friends got a 10" laptop, tried it in my case and it was fine.

I routinely keep it in the same bike pannier as my laptop and have never had a problem. This is despite all the shaking it experiences when I bike-commute twice a day on bumpy city roads.

Technically the answer is yes, however, there is zero protection for a laptop inside the bag. It is just one big compartment. I would not recommend it for carrying a computer.

Yes! Very well made, out of neoprene like material. The bottom is also well padded, so whe you place the bag on the floor, your laptop wont hit the hard surface dead on. My 15.5 inch wide screen laptop remains well tucked in and protected from the accessories.

It's quite durable and resistant to the weather so far, but dropping your laptop with any case will probably not have a great result no matter the thickness of the padding and I really cannot answer this for I'd have to test it to answer, not the type of test I want to do. Lets just say that, for what you pay, you get quite a good case for sure.

I have had my case for a while now, I don't usually travel with my laptop but it is around the house with 2 small kids and a few cats and it is still very clean. Really like this case.

Although I have not had mine out in the rain, I would suspect that this bag would provide a good amount of protection. It has a quality zipper an nylon which repels water. Overall I wouldnt be afraid of having my tablet or laptop out in the elements with this bag however if it was pouring down I think I would trow in a big ziplock for added protection.

I take my MacBook Pro just about everywhere with me. It lives in this case, and this case has saved it many times. I have dropped my bag, it has been knocked around a lot. My computer is fine! I highly recommend this case to anyone and everyone who wants to keep their computer safe. The thing is so tough and nearly indestructible.

The durability is fantastic. My son has a 15" computer and it fits great inside the padded area. There is a zipper pocket that holds the charger and mouse as well. I don't know if it can handle all drops, but I know my son is not delicate with the case and computer inside. It has been a great purchase for us.

It wont fall off easily unless you flip your laptop upside down alot. It is water and food proof but just dont let it drip off the sides.

It is padded all around, including on the bottom (but the padding isn't really any thicker on the bottom than on the sides.) Maybe I'm being too literal here, but I wouldn't drop it from the top of the bag to the bottom. But I wouldn't do that with any laptop with any bag. The padding on the bottom is about the same as the older, much less elegant Targus backpack this replaced -- so let's call it about average.But, honestly, if I was going to be dropping a laptop into the bag, I'd cut a piece of foam and put that into the bottom of the pocket.

If you are referring to a satchel or carrying case/bag, that would be a no. It has a wrist strap which would be equivalent as far as portability but not protection. It is a simple item and I don't think a case makes much sense.

Yes, I always throw it in my backback without a second thought. The case does a great job at protection the laptop. I use to be so careful whenever I used it because of how thin it was before I had the case on it. Ive had it for 3 months now and have no complaints.
