got a thin 11" laptop? This is a case for you

I like this skinny sleeve bag for 11" and smaller laptops and tablets. This is easy to carry with the red elastic, which also keeps your laptop within the bag. The bag is split on the inside, so you can put other items or paper on the other side. This skinny sleeve will fit easily in my bag when I go on vacation. I like to travel light and I may just use this instead of bringing a purse. Either way, this will do the job I need it to do and not be cumbersome.

Very nice little case for my laptop/tablet combo -  13" Dell. I bought a 15" case so that I can actually get the electrical cord and mouse into it when I travel. Now if Dell could just make the electrical cords smaller without that giant power pack that goes with it, I would be thrilled.

The case proved to be a great fit for my Toshiba Satellite T235 13" widescreen laptop with the padded spacer (included) installed.  Would be a good fit for a 14" with the spacer removed.  The main compartment is deep enough that it can accommodate a slim external DVD drive (in a case of course, to prevent scratching) as well as an ultralight laptop.  Fabric, stitching and zipper quality all are good.

I wish there were a  dedicated pocket for the power pack. This is the one accessory that you are sure to be carrying. The only external pocket is rather slim and stiff and if you put the power pack into it, you risk cracking or scratching any DVDs that share the space. This is the reason I don't give it five stars.

Great case for your laptop. Case offers quite a bit of padding (protection) despite its slim profile. Seems to be quality material and I like all the extra pockets, my Lenovo 15.5" laptop is a bit tight but great overall product.

An extremely nice, basic laptop case that fits a new 15.6 computer perfectly. Nicely padded for transport with just enough space for the power supply and a small notebook or two. Can't beat the price of Amazon basics either. Highly recommended.

As one other reviewer mentioned, most (if not all) the reviews on here are for a completely different item, a giant backpack that has little in common with the Targus TXL417 17 XL Notebook Case other than a similar looking model number. Not sure why this happened, as it is very misleading.

Anyway, on to the review.

I had received a Samsonite leather case as a gift a few years ago, however, the piece that connects the shoulder strap to the bag had almost completely worn away. So, I wanted a new bag that could hold either my 15" dell laptop for work or my 17" hp personal laptop, along with accessories, books, etc, and I didn't want to spend hundreds of dollars.

This case has a lot of space for your laptop. It's nice and padded, and actually has so much room I could probably fit both my laptops in there at the same time. Technically that's not something you want to try, but that's how much space there is in there. I can easily fit my laptop, power supply, wireless mouse, ipod, headphones and a host of other accessories. I spend a lot of time at work and have a mini-pharmacy in my bag, plus lots of papers and whatever book I'm currently reading. This guy carries it all, and the best part is it's really light- when I had that much stuff in my Samsonite leather case, it felt like I was carrying a small child on my shoulder. Not anymore.

This case is made of nylon, and to be quite honest, it isn't the nicest looking thing in the world, I mean compared with other people at my office who have great looking leather bags that probably cost $200+. But that is the least important thing to me, because again my old leather case was nice, but it was heavy, and fell apart after minimal use. This case seems sturdy, and again is quite comfortable. One thing to keep in mind is, while this is roomy for being just a notebook case, it is not a suitcase; i.e. don't expect to fit all of the above I mentioned, PLUS like a change of clothes. Technically you might be able to fit a few pieces of clothing in there, but that's clearly not what it was made for.

Bottom line, if you're looking for an inexpensive, quality, roomy and comfortable case that can fit pretty much any size laptop plus any accessories without feeling too bulky, this is a great choice. And if you have to replace it again in a few years, you only paid $50 for it. Not bad considering other bags out there cost double, triple, even 4-5x this one, but will deteriorate at the same rate (ex. my old ~$100 Samsonite case, which I treated fairly well and did not abuse in any way). Good stuff.

One other note- I used the amazon super saver shipping for free shipping. I placed the order on Friday morning, it was delivered to my door Tuesday afternoon. Why ever pay for shipping?

My laptop dimensions are 16" long, 11" wide, 1.8" deep, and 19" diagonally - it fits with a little room to spare, and there is still room for accessories.  The case is adequately padded -  I have taken this on a trip to Guam, and it held up well.  Worked great going through security, and the strap on the back works well if you want to put this on your carry on instead of using your shoulder.  Only thing that I would change is the strap to hold the laptop in could be centered to hold laptop in more securely when case is opened.  All in all, not a deal breaker, just a minor design flaw that I knew about before I purchased the case.  This is a slim case, not room for much more than the laptop, mouse, cords, and a tablet.

This is a slim profile, compact, well padded case for a small laptop  If you are looking for the lightest, slimmest most compact case that has good handles to sling it around but still protects your precious computer - this is for you.!  I really like the side handle which gives me more ways to hold/grab and maneuver it.  The shoulder strap is minimal, which in my opinion is good, makes it even more compact.  It has pockets for accessories, but they are tight, and the more you pack into it the fatter it gets and it loses that slim profile, especially since the padding for the laptop is substantial. I have carried it with nothing but the laptop in it, and I have also used it packed to the brim with mouse, power supply, a slim notebook, headphones, USB->ethernet converter, pens, and a sharpie.  That starts to weigh it down and fatten it up when the case is really designed for super mobility.  Of course the less you put in it, the cooler it is.

The reason I gave it 4 stars not 5 is because I would have liked color options.  The gray is just so-so to me.

Fits a 15" Macbook Pro bought August 2010 perfectly.  There is no room for a power supply or any accessories.  Had to engineer some foam to immobilize the laptop whilst not crushing it either, easily enough.  I used some case foam from something else instead of the adhesive padding squares provided as the Macbook Pro is morbidly thin.
Was at first disappointed regarding there being no proximal carrying handle, but have grown rather attached (lol) to the shoulder strap.
One reviewer mentioned that this won't open without your permission.  He/she is absolutely right.
If you had a solid state drive in your laptop, it might survive a kick down a flight of stairs into a hot tub.

I bought the case for a Lenovo 11" netbook and it is a good fit. Room in the outer pocket for the transformer and cord for power and the pocket as a zipper to keep everything inside. When traveling I leave the power cord and brick in my other cases and have only the netbook in the neoprene sleeve. Easy to pull out the sleever with the two handles and place it in a bin for TSA screening and no worries about dropping the netbook in the process.

The Lenovo netbook has battery charge life of 4 hours so I often use the case with only the netbook and no power cord to go somewhere to use the laptop for a few hours. Very convenient to be able to carry the netbook safely using the two handles of the sleeve.

This would be a good buy at twice the price.

Great case for a 10" netbook! Would work great for an iPad or iPad mini as well....

Cases for 17 inch laptops are still not plentiful, although the selection is getting better.  This case is a good choice for the money.  Seems sturdy, with extra room for files.  Padding is sufficient for normal use.  If you travel a lot and subject your computer to rough handling - well, you might want something a little heavier.  However, for trips to and from the office or school, or just storage for your computer, charger, etc., this case is just fine.

Also, good price, fast delivery.

This case is perfect for our use. It is more than a laptop sleeve, but less than a briefcase-type bag.  There is no separate sleeve inside the case, so the main compartment contains the necessary padding and is the perfect size for my 15.6" widescreen, which is 15" wide and 9.75" tall standing in the case -- the case fits my width exactly, and allows 2 inches at the top for a slightly larger laptop.  The other compartment can hold the electrical wiring &/or other accessories, and has three pockets that can accomodate a calculator, mp3, phone, pens, etc.  Then there is a little zippered sleeve on the front that is probably about 4x6" or 5x7" (estimation), to keep your keys &/or phone, etc. handy for easy retrieval.
The case is not at all bulky, and it has a sporty-cool attractiveness.  There are handles to carry like an old-fashioned briefcase, and a sewn on shoulder strap.  My hubby doesn't like shoulder-straps, and since it's sewn in, I just adjusted it as small as it goes, and tucked it into a flat sewn-on strap on the back of the case, which is meant to hook onto your rolling luggage when traveling.  It works out perfectly.  I am thrilled with this purchase, and highly recommend this for someone who wants a compact, good-looking, functional case for their laptop.
One more note - this is a snug (not tight, but fitting) case, so when I put the electrical cord w/ that big black plastic box part in the case, it is definitely noticable, as the case does not lie flat w/ the bulky stuff inside.  This does not bother me, but might not be suitable for another user.

Flexible case provides good padding for your laptop.  Has a side pocket to put cords and accessories, as well as shoulder strap and carry handles.  I found everything I wanted in this case.  So far it's pretty sturdy as well as stylish.

This is a really nice case. My laptop fits with room to spare. Case is thick and zipper feels like good quality. The only negative thing I have to say is I shouldve measured my laptop beforehand. While this case fits a 15.6 laptop, if you have a very thin laptop, 3.5 lbs or less, this case may be too large. There is about 1 of space to the side and top of the laptop while in the case. I would have liked a more snug fit but nothing wrong with the case.

Good sleeve, cheap  and perfect to pick your laptop safely. Fits perfect with HP Chromebook 11

It fits my 15.6 compaq presario. I was worried because I feel like my laptop is heavy and big. Although it didn't come with a strap and doesn't fit my computer cord, the computer itself fits nicely in my backpack which is why I even went with a sleeve and not a case or a bag. Most likely use this when I buy a smaller laptop later as well.  Already received compliments. People get a laugh out of seeing a cassette again...well those who remember them anyway.
