Is there any sort of padding at the bottom so if it is set down it protects the laptop?

Yes. It is at least as thick as the padding on the last case I had, Inland brand. The actual laptop pocket is the only one they don't show a picture of and I was worried about that too. It's fine so far.

Mine has the same padding on all faces including the bottom. It doesn't look removable.

Yes, there is a velcro flap that keeps the computer secure in place in the padded compartment.

Mine didnt have a removable pad on the bottom or anything. I bought a similar case at BESTBUY and it was identical to this one, but it did have a little more padding. I personally thought it was padded enough. Just my opinion though!

There is a little bit of padding at the bottom where it rests on your back, but no additional padding to protect the seat from damage. My seat came out looking great though and I don't think the additional padding is necessary.

Yes, there are soft rubberized plastic pads on the parts that actually touch the laptop.

The internal padding is nice, but I still would not recommend dropping it. Computers are finicky things and don't like shocks. This would not really provide any substantial shock absorption. It mostly just protects your laptop in a cosmetic sense. Also, know that the color is not nearly as bright as is depicted on Amazon. But the sleeve is very nice quality otherwise.

It doesn't have a padded area the bottom of it is very padded so if you put it face down it it protected. AnD yes it has two separate areas/zipped pockets outside for cables

No special or padded laptop sleeve, just one big compartment. Yes, its big enough for 14" laptop, but no protection.

No. Also it's a bit floppy though secure, so I'd want to put padding around any computer. I use it for gym stuff, bike lock, lunch, wallet. Has nice side pockets for storage.

The padding is pretty good. If you can get the laptop to stay secure. The straps don't work all that well, so my laptop was just floating around in there, so I returned it.

Hi,I just got mine and love it and haven't had any discomfort with it; however, there is no cushion on the corners but a rubber lip near the edge (as pictured) so the laptop doesn't slip off. It is made of hard plastic with the cushion underneath for lap comfort.

Michael, I have purchased this bag as my third bag to accommodate my 17" laptop. The first two I ordered were not adequate at all; however, I kept this one. If you stand it on end, it has a felt pad on the inside bottom. On the outside bottom, it has ribbed plastic to assist with this bag not touching the surface. I found the bag to be secure for my laptop and have traveled with it. It has space on the outside portion to hold electrical items, etc. The shoulder strap is what came in handy for me and with the extra padding on the bottom and security straps inside, I decided to keep it. I hope this helps your decision. Michael, I have purchased this bag as my third bag to accommodate my 17" laptop. The first two I ordered were not adequate at all; however, I kept this one.

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 :)

It is relatively well padded. I keep my laptop in a neoprene sleeve. Between that and the padding in the backpack, I feel it is sufficiently protected.

No. The case feels very much similar to the Apple cover for the ipad. It's stiff enough to protect the laptop and it has a soft, felt covering as to not scratch it up as well. My wife didn't like it at first until I showed her how it was supposed to work. After that, she liked it and refused to go back to using the carrying case that came with the Asus. This protective case adds little to the overall size of the laptop. I highly recommend it.
