what keeps the laptop from sliding off the bottom?

There is a bar at the bottom that the computer rests on, it helps is the front edge of the computer is square.

There is a metal lip that full supports my Dell 17inch llaptop. Never has been an issue - turns my laptop into a desktop with a wireless mouse and keyboard.

There is a small ledge across the bottom; however, I have to say that I didn't feel comfortable resting my expensive laptop on this item so I returned it. It is very flimsy.

It has a small lip at the end that holds the laptop in place. This is a really good deal... Used it a lot and it still is great!

There is a raised bar across the bottom of the stand running the width of it. It's about an inch high.

The others got it straight - lip on bottom keeps from sliding off. Works just fine.

You close your laptop and it won't move. If you are carrying it open then make sure you carry the up right

I left a low-clearance laptop (small feet on the bottom) sitting on it overnight and it caused it to curl a bit near the hard drive. However, the damage wasn't permanent and after about a week, it laid flat again. I do use a laptop cooler pad (riser only, no fan) to keep it from happening again.

The laptop I am using it in doesn't have that problem. Perhaps like another answer suggested use a spacer, such as tape, to give it less space to wiggle itself loose or to simply make it more snug in place?

Yes. It stays very cool on the bottom so it does not become too hot on the lap. The rubber grips on the pad help keep the laptop from sliding off the pad when you have it at slight angle on your lap.

There is nothing holding the laptop in place. It basically just sits in the case free style.

My laptop has rubber feet so it does not slide. You could use anti-slip dycem to avoid slipping: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_0_5?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords;=dycem&sprefix;=dycem

It holds it in place somewhat, it will kinda slide down till it reaches the lip on the edge. Inspite of this slight inconvenience, have still been happy with it. I have an 17" laptop on it that I think because it is kinda heavy would move on anything it is placed on.

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.

It certainly can, as it does down clip securely. But as long as I don't move the laptop around, it won't fall off.

You are exactly right and that is a drawback, the only one I can think of. My laptop has little "feet" that help to hold it in place but it still slides off from time to time. I've been looking for a small piece of silicone or rubber to prevent that issue but for me it hasn't been a deal breaker; it was for my daughter though. Good luck!

There is something to keep it from sliding but it is easily knocked off. However you are pouring boiling watr over the thing; better be careful and not moving it around.

I have put my 17" MacBook Pro (a pretty heavy laptop) on it, and handled it well. It's lip will probably keep a laptop from sliding off as long as the laptop isn't widely rounded on the bottom front (and maybe even if it is).

It does not move easily. I do have a laptop sitting on it. Protects the desk well.

I have a triple fan that I set on my buddy and then put the laptop on the fan. I have not had any problems with slippage even without the fan. My laptop sits in the middle of the cup holder, light, and pen tray. This keeps it in place.

Hi AJ! No there isn't a way to secure the laptop in the case, but it fits pretty snuggly in there. The case is a little stiffer than I thought it would be it's like a stiff canvas on the outside.

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