Is this case checkpoint friendly, meaning laptop does not need to be removed when going through security?

not sure what those requirements are, but the pocket where the laptop goes zips all the way open so that the case can lay completely flat with laptop fully exposed (and there's a strap to keep it in place when case is splayed open like that

Hi, The interior is one huge open space. There is one collapsible section for a laptop and the front section, which opens like an accordion for file folders, can be accessed from either the interior or exterior. One thing I want to point out is the safety of this case. Since the file holders open into the case as well as outside, someone could easily break into the case if the front lock isn't engaged.

Yes, I have used this at the airport and on a flight. They made me take out the power cord so the laptop was just in there by itself and there were no problems getting through security.

My computer is about 6 months old and doesn't overheat frequently, so it's not the biggest problem for me right now. If you have a laptop that tends to overheat, it may be a problem because the case has no vents. Unless your case is closed, there is a pocket of space at the spine of the case that might let some heat escape. But on occasions where my computer overheats, I usually take it out of the case, so to answer your question: no, overall this case isn't really built to prevent overheating but I haven't experienced much overheating with it on my laptop. Hope that helps!

I carry it with me in my laptop bag and have not had any trouble. The slide-on case is quite protective. I do also place it inside a neoprene laptop case just so I feel a bit safer :) I have had this screen now for over a year and REALLY like it. I have not had any problems other than once forgetting the connector cable--but I was able to pick one up at the store where I was traveling.

I think the other answer is correct. That when you are safely removing it is for the USB device. However, I did remove just the card and everything was fine.

I haven't tested it yet but from looking at it the theory is it separates each compartment allowing for a perfect scan of each item in it with the laptop being on the outside instead of the middle like most cases, but rather or not they wont just tell you to take it out anyways is still left to be seen. Like I said I don't actually know and have not tested it at the airport yet.

Hello, You may close the screen when it is attached to the unit. But I take my laptop home an a regular basis and I have a plastic cover on the top and bottom to protect the unit from scratches. Here is the kicker... You will have to take off the bottom plastic protection every time you want to lock/secure your laptop to the Landing Zone Dock. I would still buy it again, it

There is a place where you can attach a lock to it, such as a Kensington lock cable. I don't have the dock available to me at this moment, so I can't verify that it will prevent the laptop from being removed.

Rick, it does not have a dedicated PC compartment but you can use the small detachable backpack for this purpose (if your laptop does not exceed 15"). The small backpack is padded. Be aware, though, that it only has one compartment, so if you don't want your laptop scratched, either you should not carry anything else in this backpack, or use some protection for it.

It has no encryption or password protection built-in. You want a Data Traveler Locker drive for that.

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 :)

Yeah it is. Plus where you place the laptop is rubbery so your laptop wont fall off.

I have never removed it since day one, I just leave it in with the MBA sleeping or turned off, no difference. I do not have it set to be bootable or anything like that, its just a fast solid performing data drive for stuff I use less than weekly

Not likely. The portion outside the laptop has shoulder that keeps it away from the laptop.

There is a good warranty company that I purchased that covers everthing wrong with the laptop except it getting stolen. Square safe. I'd purchase it just to be safe.

This case is just designed to act as a protective "sleeve" for your laptop. It will not replace a regulart laptop case. If you travel you will still need a regular case. It is great if you have your laptop out on an flight and then you want to put it in the seat back pocket or when it is just laying around the office or house. Protects only from scratches, etc. It would not protect in the event of a drop to the floor.
