This is the notebook case I’ve been waiting for! I make frequent international trips and, until now, I’ve tried stuffing a few critical carry-on items into my regular laptop case. That amounted to little more than a toothbrush. The Kensington Contour case is “real” overnight bag, built around my notebook. Large enough for my 17 inch screen, it has room to spare for all of my essentials and a change of clothing. After filling it to capacity, it remains amazingly compact. It wheels easily through narrow airplane isles and fits neatly into the overhead compartment. The only negative comment I would make is that the handle is uncomfortable between the fingers after wheeling it through the airport. If the padding was a little better it would have earned a 5 star rating.

I travel some in the US and recently have had the “opportunity” to travel over most of Africa and the Middle East. This bag is an ideal carry-on size (I don’t get in trouble with even the most restrictive airlines), will keep a 17″ laptop safe and sound and has plenty of room to pack a couple nights worth of clothing and all the gear to go with the laptop.
-Handle makes it comfortable to carry if required, stands up well to abuse.
-Tough ballistic fabric, all the major pouches have double zipper pulls to make them easy to lock and are easily locked with the standard TSA-accepted locks.
-The removable laptop sleeve comes out easily and provides extra protection for the laptop when it’s under the seat in front of you. -Convenient pouches for pens, cards and the like.
The only issue I have had is that the “tow handle” occasionally will not deploy all the way. This is remedied by simply putting it all the way back down and then re-extending it. Happens about 1/15 times.
Recommended, especially if you travel with a 17″ monster.

I bought the bag about a couple of months ago. I thought the bag was perfect at first, being able to fit my laptop and some personals. I then started to notice that my zippers were disappearing. The first happened within a week and then another disappeared after a month. If you like breaking a nail trying to unzip your bag then this is the case for you. They do offer a warranty to fix the bag but you should not be use the warranty within the first two months. Just something to think about before you buy.
Aside from that the bag is great. The bag is pretty stable and holds a lot of items. The bag unlike the zipper so far is pretty durable. There is a bag on the underside that is a lifesaver. I’ve been able to put a small case of CD-R’s(25), playing cards, a couple of external HD’s and some cables. The pockets on the front works well with folders, pens, a laptop (obviously), mp3 player and a lot of other things you may need on the road.
I understand that if someone doesn’t like one thing about an item they will destroy it on the ratings. I really, really don’t like the zipper situation, and if I lose anymore then I will probably destroy the bag but until then I will enjoy this zipper-less bag.

The padded compartment for a laptop, plus intelligently laid out compartments for files, overnight of clothing, etc and quality construction make this the best wheel-on I’ve ever had. Stashing the laptop within allows you an additional carry-on on flights limiting you to two pieces, one of luggage, one of “personal item”. And even fully stuffed it fits into the overhead compartment.

The basic concept and design would rate five stars if execution were not flawed. The zipper pulls sacrifice function and durability for style. In the course of just one trip to Asia, have already had one pull come off. The bag could also use a shoulder strap for those inevitable situations (climbing stairs and negotiating narrow aisles) when you can’t roll the thing.
