Is it clamshell design...opening fully on 3 of 4 sides..... or does the laptop have to be slipped in? Tks!

The laptop has to be slipped in from the top. Doesn't open fully on 3 of the 4 sides.

There is a padded pocket compartment at the bottom that you slide the laptop into. So once it's in the pocket you see only about 1 inch of the laptop. The top of the pocket is next to the top zipper of the bag so once it's zipped the laptop cannot come out.

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

We haven't had this problem. The zipper is behind a material ridge/flap that protects the contents of the case, and the opening is wide at the top, extending about 3-4 inches down the side. We were able to insert a HP Stream 13 without any problems or concerns.

The inner dimension is 15.25" and has clearance for just under 2.5". You will not be able to slide in straight in, buy you could angle your laptop in or slide it in from the side. The unit is well made. However I found its depth consumed too much of the desk top space and decided to "retire" it. In fairness, I would like to point out that the unit is very well made. It just doesn't work so well for me.

Mine fits snugly. I do notice that if the bottom screen, etc., is not tightly screwed to the lid stem, it isn't as tight a fit, so you might try checking that. If that doesn't work, I would return it as defective.

There is a tab which tucks back into the case and snugs down the computor, secured with Velcro. Case is very well designed for my Thrive, the corners are more exposed than I would have liked, but I think it is the best sleeve for a Thrive out there.

"Vertical" and "horizontal" are somewhat arbitrary here. It opens up along the longer side, so you'd insert the laptop front or back first, not side first. Hope that helps.

The design is meant to have a pad slip in from the top, not side. But a spiral bound notebook seems like it would fit inside the portfolio if you don't mind it not being secured.

It has a 1/8" lip on the front edge which isn't enough to keep a laptop from sliding off. I put a hook over the backside (the high side) of the table and suspended the laptop with a string around the laptop's hinge. Works great with no mods to the table. Laptop CAN'T slide off now.

There is a thick round liner there that when the device is inside will be snug as you zip, pressing it together and covering it from pressing against the zipper. I've carried a chromebook in mine, zero scratches on the plastic!

There is no laptop slip. It does have a pouch for pencils. I have to put an organizer (pouch) inside to keep things in order.

It does not seem to interfere. If you place your thumb in the middle of the lid where the indent is located and lift upward, the lid seems to open just the same as if no case was on it (with perhaps the slightest difference -- but nothing that has caused me any frustration). Keep in mind, this case is not a "skin" so there is some thickness to it (a few millimeters) adding some added dimension to the computer, but it's very minimal, and the case is cut in such a way as to only come to the edge of the top lid, preventing interference with opening. It doesn't wrap around the middle-front if that's what you're concerned about.

I have a Gateway & Toshiba, both 17" monitors, they both fit. I would say the sleeve is snug, but in a good way. There is plenty of stretch. And I'd rather have it snug than sliding around in the darn thing anyway. The whole idea is to keep things secure. Sliding does not equal secure. Neither in Laptop sleeves or undergarments.

It closes fairly securely. I don't know if the laptop would come out if dropped, I try never to drop mine!
