Just what I wanted, just what I needed!
By A3E6PIUBXXONJY on 2007-08-10
I was a little skeptical about buying a notebook case online.
I thought it might be better to see the merchandise in person at a retailer. As I started my search which included Best Buy, Frys, Circuit City websites I still didn't find anything that looked liked it was worth the $30 to $70 asking price or anything that really caught my eye for that matter!
Lastly I tried Old Amazon and ran across this little gem!!
It looked just right, right up my alley, but I thought something might be wrong with it because the price was so low! Then I saw the name which is a brand name and made my decision to get this one. And when it arrived and I open the box I knew I had a quailty product and was very pleased!
My 15.4 laptop fits into it like a glove. Its padded on both sides, top and bottom. It is made of quaility nylon, with quaility zippers, and snap locks. The handle is made of nylon wrapped in a rubber grip, so that your hand is protected from the thin nylon grip itself. Good design feature and adds extra style to the overall look of the case itself. As you can see from the photos above it has pockets to store and carry extra items.
It also has a nice wide shoulder strap, with solid plastic snap hooks, and the nylon itself is of the hi-quailty dense knit type! This is a very handsome case! And it's the type of case that anyone would be proud to carry into any office meeting or internet cafe!! Its that nice and looks like it cost a $100 instead of $20!!
Great case, great buy! I'm real satisfied!
Great laptop case for the price
By A2K24F0XR5L2K1 on 2006-02-16
I don't understand why laptop cases are so expensive. This is the exception - great price - study construction - nice strap- PC tiedowns.
Only negative is that it does not have a great volume of storage space in addition to the laptop compartment. It's fine for a power brick and cords, cables, accessory mouse, and a couple of pads and pencils. But if you carry a lot of manuals or other bulky items, look for an expandable briefcase instead.
What they said, but....
By A36HI6P5CDKJZE on 2007-11-10
I agree with everyone, for the price this is a quality carrier. My only complaint: the tighter you adjust the strap, the rubber padding which is supposed to rest on your shoulder moves further toward the laptop, and because of the design you cannot move the padding back up to your shoulder. It wasn't a big enough deal for me to return it, though this flaw is a bit of an annoyance for me. I'm not sure if this is a defect with the one I received or if this is a feature on every bag.
Nice case, but not for me (picture is NOT accurate!)
By AOG0JTTSXMH03 on 2008-05-15
I had to return this case, because the picture of the compartments provided by Amazon is not accurate. Compare it with the customer-submitted photos, you'll see that Amazon's picture has two extra compartments--the one that holds the folder and the one directly below that. The actual product does NOT have those compartments. I returned it for that reason, because I need more organizational space than that.
Having said that, I'll say that upon first inspection, this case appears to be of decent quality (though I would've preferred metal hooks for the shoulder strap). And a big plus is it provides something I want but have yet to find in another case of similar price: a messenger flap for quick-loading, AND a zipper over the laptop compartment for extra protection in case it rains.
Great Buy!
By A29SFV344R6FKS on 2007-05-17
The bag is a good size and fits the essentials plus some room for papers or a magazine, etc. Will not fit anything big like a textbook but if you are just looking to carry your laptop and laptop accesories with minimal paperwork, this bag is perfect especially for the price...
- Just what I was looking for!
By A3SMS4IWJANK3A on 2007-09-13
I wanted a lightweight case to protect my laptop and allow for storage of power cords, mouse, etc. This also has room to store magazines, DVD's. It fit the bill perfectly.
- Targus succeeds once again.
By A1YGXMJGAMIZO1 on 2007-07-12
I don't know how they do it, but, as other consumer's have stated already, this bag is worth its price. Why are other bags so much more expensive? This one looks and feels just as high quality as the other ones except its less then half the price! Many compartments yet still a reasonably small bag. I love it. I love Targus. They have proven themselves once again.
- TCM004US Messenger 15.4 Is Great!
By A1TUF8E8CWLRWL on 2007-12-18
This is a great messenger notebook case for carrying around my 15.4" laptop. It's lightweight and compact yet holds what I need. The only drawback is there isn't room for a power cord and adapter.
- Good fit!
By A3RUY1Y0ZPNUJ4 on 2008-03-03
Really nice case. It fits my 15" Toshiba perfectly. Seems like it is constructed very well and has storage for several accessories. Good Value!
- Can't be beat for the price!
By A3RU2P4FAACQ1J on 2008-05-20
I bought this bag for $16 but even at its current price of $20 it's a steal.
I intended to get an expensive, but good quality, bag because I bought my 15.4" laptop (HP dv6830us) as a desktop replacement (and home entertainment center) and did not intend to travel much with it (getting a work laptop I'll travel with more). This bag was PERFECT!
The first and most important thing to look for in a laptop bag is padding. Anyone who's had a laptop for a long time will likely tell you that. This bag actually has a decent amount of padding on all sides of where the laptop is kept. I've actually dropped the computer from a couple of feet off the ground (on accident) and it didn't damage the computer at all. If you tossed this from several feet up or against a wall or something, the padding probably isn't strong enough to protect you ;) For everyday situations though, this should be sufficient. However, if you're going to travel with your computer a lot or are quite worried about dropping it you may want to look into a higher end bag with more padding.
Despite being a thin bag, it has plenty of room. I was quite impressed with this as it was one of my concerns before I bought it. The laptop pocket fits the laptop nice and snug, and has short velcro strap to secure it even further in case you forget to zip it or the zipper breaks. The pocket in front of it is semi-accordian style so that it can expand a bit more if you put bulky things in it. Then there are the pockets depicted as being for CDs, which I clip things onto and put cloths and Tylenol in. Then there's the pen/pencil loops and an additional pocket for a small personal electronic (I keep my mouse in there, but it easily can hold a digital camera). Plus, it has a slip pocket in the back for thin items (like loose paper) that I keep my ethernet cable in.
So I usually can easily keep my laptop, the laptop battery, an ethernet cable, a dust cloth, pens and pencils, hand sanitizer, my VX revolution wireless mouse, a mini-USB cable, my mp3 player (iRiver clix), and some Tylenol in this bag with PLENTY of room to spare in the front pocket. I've even fit my big external hard drive in there (though it weighs it down).
The cloth quality overall is pretty nice, and the strap is sturdy as is the handle on top (padded with rubber, or something like it). The bag can feel a bit heavy (though I don't think that's a specific problem with the bag), but the strap doesn't ever hurt me and it's quite a while before weight becomes an issue.
I highly recommend this bag for the price-conscious laptop bag shopper! It's the best I've seen so far for the money!
- Targus TCM004US Messenger 15.4" Notebook Case
By ANF34T3K60P3Y on 2007-09-24
Awesome for basic laptop transport.
Great room available for adding goodies, like pens, dvds. cables, AC adaptors, mouses, usb-floppy drives, etc.
Used for around 1 month and not a scratch on the laptop.
It can be a bit difficult to carry, but overall, does amazingly the job.
- You can get in any color as long as it's black.
By AHQBDNAPXQ70T on 2008-03-06
Fits my Sony 15.4" laptop like a glove.
I like all the pockets, very clever design.
Very sturdy too!
- bigger than other reviews have it
By A1GZIEFNGB07QA on 2008-03-31
the extra pockets make this much bigger than I had read in other reviews. this is an excellent buy for the price. holds laptop, all cords, 3 headphones, mouse and more
- Messenger notebook case
By A38D21RCC0UBQ4 on 2008-04-07
I liked this notebook case at first. But I carry alot of documents with my laptop and the top flap is held into place with the clasp. When there is a lot of weight it seems to stress the clasp. So far I have had not problems. I would like one of these with a decent storage place from the AC Adapter. All in all a decent notebook case.
- nice laptop case
By A1XUJU1LFNW8VU on 2007-06-11
Ordered it, received it ahead of time in great condition. Stylish and very comfortable bag.
Thanks!
- Perfect bag for my needs
By A1CZPZJ2PI7HK9 on 2007-12-19
I purchased this for my Dell 15.4 inch Inspiron. It is exactly what I was looking for. It protects my laptop while holding a few extras for me. It's very durable and comfortable to use without being too bulky.
- nice bag
By A1DIBLFHVR8UEO on 2008-02-17
nice bag for the money. the padding could be a little thicker, but it was a bargain.
- Notebook case solved!
By A1VSPFGQKO32MN on 2008-02-23
My daughter got a lap top for Christmas. She is a student and needed something to help keep up with her lap top and much-needed accessories for her studies. This was great. It is light, durable and has compartments to fit everything!
- Excellent Bag - perfect fit for equipment
By A331SFJAZRH67U on 2008-04-11
It is hard to find good quality anything for under $20, but this little case is excellent build quality and heavy duty materials, and the perfect fit for my laptop and accessories (Dell 14", power brick, Lacie external hard drive, card reader, mouse, cables).
What more can I say? I would have been happy with this item even if it was twice the cost.
- Nice Bag
By A1QVFHPY8418HC on 2008-06-26
I purchased this bag off an Amazon Gold Box deal so the price was too good to pass up. Even at Amazon's regular price it is still a good deal considering how much carrying bags cost.
The bag looks just like the picture. It is fairly slim, yet has several pouches under the flap for discs, pens, pencils, flash media, cords, etc., plus of course the compartment for your laptop, as well as a large zippered compartment under the flap and a velcro-sealed compartment on the other side of the bag. Design-wise it is pretty basic (as you can see from the picture). Some have commented that it looks very expensive but in my opinion it looks nice but nothing fancy. It certainly doesn't look cheap.
Another plus: it is made by Targus so you can expect good quality. The stitching is well-done and the straps, handles, etc. are also made well. The padding is adequate and actually very good considering the thickness of the bag. More padding would also make the bag thicker, and then it would no longer be a slim-type model. I'm happy with my purchase.
- Not bad.
By A4I1T28U8AL5T on 2008-07-23
It delivers what it promises. It carries your laptop and some books and pens and CDs. The bag doesn't seem really durable(I rode with it on my bike and the bike tire grinded against the fabric and ripped it; however, it was just a small hole, shouldn't be a big deal and maybe I shouldn't be so careless), but that also means it weighs less too. My laptop fits in it, my books fit in it, and pencils fit in it, and none of them have had problems due to fallacies of the bag. Decent bag for its cost.
- quick and speedy service
By ASNBMUAVROQ8E on 2006-11-05
the service was quick and efficient. it came faster that I expected it to come.
- Elegant and roomy computer messenger bag.
By AVKCIJ3VPYTDX on 2007-05-09
Versatil and elegant messenger bag. If you are looking for a bag that have enough room for papers, papers blocks, books, documents and same time be elegant, all in a medium size, that is for you.
I don't know how Targus do it, but bag is medium size (no too small, no too big, like any others computer messenger bags that resemble a travel bag)and have room for any thing that you carry up for office and more. And look is very elegant. All in one.
Computer storage have space for one and you can put in other stuff, like documents or small books and the other storage (it have two ) is still enough room to more documents and small books. It is like a little "black hole".
Of course you can carry up pencils, pens, CD,etc. There is a space for that in front of bag.
And price...well, you don't find in any place, a computer messenger bag with all these, for a little price.
- Light organizer case
By A39L235PBVM29O on 2007-05-16
I am very pleased. The case is very light one and filled with various packages. I think it is an excellent organizer and hold everything I need.
It is not too roomy, but that what I wanted: the lightest and the smallest case. I can see nothing to complain about and very glad I got it.
- This Case Should Cost a Lot More!
By A1KF9EBAZBYRLF on 2007-09-06
This case is a steal. It has great storage and protection for your notebook. There aren't any other cases that can offer such usability and quality construction at this price.
- Great case for the price
By A1S7KIFHGVF3KW on 2007-10-31
For the money, don't think I could beat it. Holds my 15.4 inch Gateway and everything that goes with it. Can also fit some paperwork, cds/dvds and whatever else I need. I've carried larger cases in the past that held more junk, but I just ended up stuffing them with things I didn't really need. This is light does what I need it to.
- Targus 15.4" Messenger Notebook Case-TCM004US
By A16POOXNKWLAIE on 2007-12-31
Excellent choice. Plenty of pockets for extra stuff. Lightweight. Comfortable for carrying on the shoulder.
- Fantastic case, especially for the price
By AQ3LI8CYYMNWQ on 2008-01-12
This case is unbeatable for the price that Amazon sells it at. It has plenty of room for my power chords, wireless mouse, ipod cable, headphones, and a couple of cds. The padding surrounding the case is excellent. When pulling my laptop out of my car in the ice, I tripped and landed right on top of the case, and my laptop sustained absolutely no damage!
I have had no problems with the adjustable strap, as another reviewer claims. I am guessing his/hers is just a defective case.
- Does the job.
By A1E4B6BR0CC2CR on 2008-01-18
Only really has room for the laptop and power supply. Only worth it if you only have to transport your laptop occasionally. Not for everyday use.
- Work in Progress
By A2T7M1SDMSKBUY on 2008-02-11
Perfect for my laptop (fit my laptop sleeve into computer slot) and other work I carry with me. Price is right and the size is too!
