Case Logic Laptop Bags

The Case Logic DLC-115 may say it’s an attaché for laptops, but don’t let that label fool you—this thing is a shapeshifter. I use it to carry my 10th-gen iPad, and it comfortably fits a Hercules clip stand (the kind that hooks to my mic stand), along with my harmonicas, egg shakers, a rotating cast of cables and chords, earbuds for in-ear monitoring, and my Behringer P2 pack.It’s essentially a one-stop carry-all for everything short of a fog machine. Durable, flexible, and impressively organized, it keeps my gear safe and easy to access—without looking like I’m hauling a toolbox to a gig.Now, the zippers are the plastic style, so time will tell how they hold up under frequent use. But so far, they’ve held strong. The bag feels sturdy without being bulky, and the compartments are well-thought-out for gearheads and musicians alike.For $25–$30 with next-day delivery, this thing is an absolute value beast. Whether you’re heading to a studio session, a gig, or just need a bag that can multitask like a stage tech on espresso—this is the one.

Lightweight and sturdy. This case protects my laptop from bumps. Looks professional. I would also buy one in navy, but CaseLogic typically only comes in black and that's fine too.

This case was purchased for my Dell Precision 7680 16" laptop. This case says it is for up to 15" laptops, but the dimensions were adequate and the 16" laptop fits with room to spare. The laptop compartment is sturdy and very well padded. The case holds it's shape well and looks better than others. There are plenty of pockets for accessories. This Case Logic laptop case is well made and seems strong enough to haul the very heavy Dell laptop.

I'm a freelancer and I have to take my computer everywhere I go. I wanted something that I could pack all my components into, had room for documents and/or a newspaper/magazine, and was above all travel-friendly. I had serious expectations, so I bought the Case Logic DLC-115 along with five (yes FIVE!!) other briefcases/computer bags. The initial draw was the compact size. The other briefcases were so large and bulky, the thought of lugging them around was unappealing. This product is much more nimble than the competitors.The briefcase is also well-organized. The main compartment is the perfect size for my 15.4" screen laptop, with an aftermarket battery that extends another inch behind the body of the computer. It also has a tablet sleeve probably designed for an iPad. It's no problem slipping my Nexus 7 in there. The smaller compartment has three pockets, three pen sleeves, and an internal zippered pocket perfect documents inside a folder, a magazine or two, or a newspaper. I have a slew of cables and accessories I keep in this compartment, but the bigger components are the laptop AC plug and a SimpleTough external hard drive. It fits all necessities comfortably, and I can cram a few extra things for easy access on a plane or train, but then it barely zips up. There is also a single zippered pocket on the back side lined with soft cloth for smartphones and other devices, and works well for boarding passes/passports or what have you. This is placed just above a strap that slides over a handle of wheeled luggage if that's how you roll.The briefcase is well padded and has comfortable, sturdy handles. While I wanted something more professional-looking, the black color is unobtrusive, so I could look overlook this aspect. After five months of hard use, the bag still looks new, with the exception of a few loose strands at the corners. What I'm less pleased with is the shoulder strap, which seems somewhat flimsy but I'm sure is sturdier than it looks. The adjustment clip on the strap interferes with the sliding shoulder pad. I don't use it often, though.If you don't need room for extraneous personal effects, the Case Logic DLC-115 is a practical performer.

I've only had the bag for a few days, so these are still my first impressions.Durability: everything is firmly stitched and attached. The zippers pull easily and are of good quality. The attachments for the shoulder strap are plastic and stiff and may be a weak point, but they don't appear too cheaply made.Quality: the handles have a rubberized handhold area that prevents seams from cutting into your hand. There are no loose threads or wavy stitching. The exterior is made of thick, sturdy fabric. It's a soft-sided case, so don't expect miracles, but it should protect your laptop and tablet from most minor bumps and dings during routine use.Organization: the main compartment fits my 15.6 inch widescreen laptop perfectly. One of my requirements was not having a divider or strap to hold the laptop in place, and this one holds the laptop snugly enough not to need one. The tablet pocket on the front of the laptop compartment is designed for a 10-inch tablet, but is thin enough that it holds my 7-inch tablet with a slim-line case quite snugly. It may relax out some with use, but if you have a full 10-inch tablet with a bulky case it may be difficult to get the tablet in. The front compartment's divider sleeves are also quite snug. There is a zippered document pouch on the back wall of the compartment, putting whatever you stow there right in front of the tablet, so stick to the printed word rather than your wood screw collection. The whole front chamber unzips almost completely open, giving you easy access to things at the bottom of the compartment, which is quite nice. The open area is large enough to keep bulkier items like the laptop's power brick, but if you're like me and like to travel prepared for bear then you'll definitely need an additional bag. Considering I got this almost exclusively to store my laptop and charger and carry it to and from meetings, it suits my needs perfectly. If you want more storage then I would definitely go with a bigger case.So, all in all it is a great compact laptop briefcase. It's just big enough to hold the essentials and will fit your 15.6-inch widescreen laptop perfectly. It's durable and not overly expensive. If that's what you're looking for in a soft-shell briefcase then this is the one for you.EDIT: I've now owned this case for a few months and stand by my original opinions. It's nice and sturdy and has weathered my light use of it well. I do have one addition I've discovered: the back of the briefcase is firm and flat enough to act as either a mousepad or laptop tray in a pinch. It works well when I don't have somewhere flat or solid enough to set the laptop or if I want a buffer for my lap. I am supremely pleased with this briefcase, especially considering the price. Whenever it finally wears out I'm going to get another just like it.
