I recently got a new laptop case
and I thought I'd tell you all about it. Because it's pretty sweet! I
got it from www.gearzap.com, which is based in the UK and got it
surprisingly fast. Now that I think about it I got it faster than
most things that ship from the US. Hmm...
It is a Elecom Zeroshock Notebook
Sleeve. It's a fairly simple case. The outside is sort of rubberized.
Giving it a very nice grip to help prevent drops and whatnot. From
what I've gathered this laptop case 15.6 was made with
protection in mind. Along the edges of both the top and bottom is
this hard plastic/rubber trim. Which makes the case both sturdier and
absorbs shock (the packaging says its hollow). The single zipper goes
on three sides to allow the case to open wide giving easy access to
your laptop.
Now the inside is the coolest part.
Along the edges there is a softer material that keeps the laptop and
zipper from touching. Prevent some very unsightly scratches/damage to
the laptop. Even cooler than that is the actual top and bottom
panels. They are made of a dual layer polyurethane foam. What's that
you ask? Basically its memory foam. Which also absorbs shock, thus
protecting your laptop even further. I press my finger down as hard
as I could right in the center (on the inside) and the indentation is
still there after at least a minute. So if something hits it from the
outside there will probably be more damage to the falling object.
The package says that the edges can
withstand a force of 25-80G from a 1kg weight. And the the flat
surfaces can withstand 130-200G from the same 1kg weight. From what I
understand unless you are throwing rocks or logs at it than this case
will most likely protect you laptop. (1kg=2.2046lbs)
As far as room for accessories there
isn't much. It does have a small 8in by 6 in pouch on the inside top.
It velcros closed and is a soft felt-like material to prevent
scratching on you laptop. Now my laptop is kind of thick so I could
really only fit maybe a disc or two in it with out cause the case to
bulge. I did carry a small usb flash drive it over the weekend and
that seemed fine. Now for power supply. My power block is about
4x2x1.5 inches and with my laptop scooted all the way back it fits
nicely in front with the cord wrapped up next to it still allowing
the case to zip. If you have nice battery life I wouldn't even worry
about the power cord.
So over all I give this 15.6 laptop case a 9/10! If you're looking for laptop cases
