Case Logic HDC-1 Medium EVA External Hard Drive Case (Black) Reviews

• Travel Case for the Amazon Kindle (e-reader)

  
  By A3LOGP4VA9DX46 on 2008-02-15
  I purchased this case as travel storage for my Amazon Kindle. It's a really good fit for the Kindle even when covered with its leather book cover. There is a divider that seperates the Kindle from the A/C adapter. The mesh pocket is perfect for headphones, SD cards and a booklight. I have included pictures of my case with my Kindle in the stock cover, my charger, and my ReLight rechargeable book light.
  
  This case itself is not as padded as I would have liked for a travel case. However, when used with the leather book cover, I feel that it will be sufficient for my needs. I do like the side entry for the case. It makes it easy and convenient to slip the Kindle out of the case.
  
  This is an excellent alternative to the $50+ aftermarket Kindle cases available.
  
  

• for a much smaller, lighter hard drive

  
  By A19RI76VA20JYP on 2007-03-22
  It was a lot smaller then I expected, in fact my lacie hard drive could barely fit inside. Also, it was quite flimsy and didn't offer as much protection as I would have hoped.
  I ended up exchanging it for the larger size and found it had all the features the medium sized model lacked.
  
  

• Great carrying and storage case

  
  By ARHSL2Q52UGB8 on 2007-05-18
  I bought this because of having to transport my external to various places and in between storing it in my room. One of the problems is that in a hurry I tend to forget the USB cable or the power pack. With this I keep everything together so when I need to go I just grab it and toss it into my backpack. The case does not offer the best protection but it fits in my backpack along with school books with no problems, the bigger cases I can't do that.
  
  I just got a second external hard drive so I'm going to be buying a second case in the very near future.
  
  

• Nifty and practical

  
  By A2HV66Q0LKG75D on 2007-09-07
  I bought this case along with an Iomega 500GB USB external hard drive, and found that this case fits the drive, power cable, stand clip, and USB cable just right. The little divider inside the case is adjustable since one end is velcro, so there is some flexibility there, and the netted zipper compartment in the "lid" is a nice touch that makes it possible to fit the USB cable in the case.
  
  I rated the case 4 stars instead of 5 because if you are looking for a case that has a lot of padding, this isn't it. However, I think this is exactly what I am looking for...a case that is compact enough to fit into a bookbag or briefcase and offers enough protection for me to feel comfortable leaving my data inside it. I don't intend to take my Iomega hiking with me, so I think the modest padding will suffice.
  
  Plus, it looks good and has a nice handle.
  
  

• Not for the Western Digital Passport

  
  By A25O4EV4TW3D2B on 2007-06-26
  I got this porduct because while ordering the 160 WD passpord HD, it had an offer with it But as soon as i opened it, it was twice the size. It would be best for the external larger HD Like Maxtor,and other's. Not for Passport size Hard Drives
  
  
• Fits Asus EEE mini laptop like a GLOVE!
  By A2CTEULUUX649W on 2008-01-28
  This case is perfect for the EEE. It was designed as a portable hard disk drive case. I easily stored the EEE in the main compartment. The AC adaptor and my Logitech V450 wireless mouse slides into the smaller pocket below the main one. There is still lots of room for flashdrives, SD memory cards, pens, cables, etc in the cap pocket. I am VERY PLEASED with the overall package CLASSY look and how the semi-rigid case protects and stores all my EEE necessities. Comes with a fabric handle that makes carrying it around convenient. Or stow it in your backpack or suitcase and rest easy, knowing your EEE is all safely packed.
  
  
• Medium External HD Case
  By A1UN0SW9UB3MX8 on 2007-07-19
  I bought this case for a MyBook External HD that I bought. The HD fits snugly in and the main pocket has a velcro panel to adjust the size. There is a zippered pocket in the lid for cords and the remaining space in the main pocket is great for the power pack and cord! All in all this case is perfect for MyBook External HD's and I'm sure that other medium sized HD's would also fit perfectly!
  
  
• Zipper failed after 2 tries
  By AO5H90A3V1QKH on 2007-08-26
  Two pieces of advice:
  1) For WD Passport hard drives this case is too big.
  2) This is a low quality case. Zipper failed just after two tries.
  
  
• Too big and bulky for small drives
  By A1BDW7TG8TUBBD on 2007-09-16
  I returned this item. I bought because it was a suggested companion item for the LaCie 160 GB Rugged Hard Drive USB 2.0/FireWire400/FireWire800, which I purchased for traveling. The case was far to big and bulky for the small hard drive for purposes of traveling. Because the hard drive was ruggedized, there is really no need for the case other than to store cables.
  
  
• Works perfectly for Amazon Kindle
  By A3U9C40J69JYR4 on 2008-05-20
  I'm very happy with the Case Logic Medium External HD Case...I purchased it for use with my Amazon Kindle.
  
  Kindle (in it's standard issue cover) fits in the main compartment of the case as if the case were made for it. It feels very snug and safe. I also like the smaller compartment in which one can put the charger and other accessories.
  
  Since this is a soft case, without any type of protective shell, you still need to be sure Kindle isn't crushed while traveling.
  
  All in all, I think this is a great product for use with the Amazon Kindle and I can heartily recommend the Case Logic Medium External HD Case.
  
  
• Perfect case
  By A23ONMGKEWDG4M on 2008-01-08
  I purchased this case to house a Western Digital My Book 500 GB drive. The case and drive are almost a perfect match. WD probably could not have designed a better case.
  
  The case easily houses the drive, USB cable, power cord and xtansformer. The drive slips in easily but is not loose in the case a nice fit.
  
  
• For a Kindle case 5 stars
  By ASSYZSM1U4XLP on 2008-05-27
  PM thank you thank you for discovering this case for your Kindle. I'm very happy with mine. I was looking for a good protective case since the amazon cover provides no protection against dust and whatever that it would encounter in a backpack or briefcase, etc.
  
  Only two drawbacks:
  
  1. I wish a shoulder strap were available but I'll probably be able to figure something out.
  
  2. As PM said, the padding is a bit thin, actually only the fuzzy yellow lining around the main part of the case. The curved bottom is lined with the yellow stuff, but it is glued to the hard shell so provides little if no padding there. However, as PM also says, with the Kindle in the amazon cover, I think it is OK. Also, due to the curved bottom, the Kindle doesn't entirely rest on the case bottom, so if you wanted to, there would be room to insert a strip of foam or other padding in the bottom of the case (I'm debating doing this). I put my Kindle in with the sound buttons & jacks down.
  
  By adjusting the vertical Velcro divider so it slants slightly left, the Kindle in its amazon cover fits snuggly but is easy to pull out, and the top is just level with the opening of the case.
  
  The mesh compartment in the "lid" easily holds a Mighty Brite Book Light (especially with the clip turned down to fit into the curve of the lid), plus the USB cable, and a spare set of book lite batteries. I also keep a card with my contact info and a paper clip (for resets - I've had the Kindle lock up on me 4 times so far; I recommend against using the web browser or continuing shopping while a new book downloads or if you're expecting a periodical update.)
  
  In the side compartment of the case body I can easily fit the Kindle power adapter/cord, plus a tiny SanDisk case for the SD memory card and a mini USB card reader, and there is still room so none of the accessories are crammed in or hard to get in or out.
  
  
  
• Nice form factor
  By A20PKKKP84F6TE on 2007-06-07
  Very good materials and form factor. Perfectly fits and protects my external hard disk drive. Very good for traveling.
  
  
• Not a Hard Case
  By AVKQPXM9TDZ9S on 2007-07-12
  Case Logic calls this case a hard shell case. It is anything but that. Basically this just a sleeve to cover the hard drive when transporting it. There is relatively little padding and the the shell, though rugged, is not hard. Its more of like you would get from a laptop case.

  This case is perfect for external hard drives and I really like these cases....
  
  
• Case Logic at it's best!
  By ATQF0ON46HYK0 on 2007-12-28
  Great case for toting an external hard drive and AC adapter. Room for cables and etc. in the zipped area at the top of the case. A moveable divider also is a nice touch.
  
  
• Nice Case
  By A1NZDCST2VG4FD on 2008-01-18
  This case is well built and handy. Solid construction protects the contents and I like the side pockets and space for cords.
  
  
• Other uses for an external HD case
  By A281ESRUHGKP7G on 2008-06-05
  I bought this case to house my EEE PC 4G. The main partition in the large pocket fits the laptop perfectly. Leaving the small partition to house the power supply and a mini mouse. In the lid, is a zippered mesh pocket that is perfect for holding SD cards and USB keys. The case is made of rigid foam that looks as though it will buffer the PC from the shock of dropping it or the odd item thown onto it (I'm not going to test this!) If you're an EEE PC owner, I would definitely suggest this as an alternative laptop case.
  
  
• no me gusto
  By A399N87208MBG on 2007-06-28
  te coloque esta puntuacion pero no deberia ya q pense q iba a servir para el disco externo q compre, ya q al comprar el disco este salia como combo pero no le servia, o sea perdi esa plata
  
  
• gets the job done
  By A2O7IKI1X057WF on 2007-08-10
  its the perfect size for my maxtor 300GB external HD. Has a nice zippered pocket for the usb/firewire cable and the power adapter fits well also.
  
  
• it's easy to use
  By ASKAMO72RFI1J on 2007-11-22
  i'm very happy with this product, i can use it into my computer'bag and use a little space.
  
  
  
• The Case Looks OK but....
  By A3JEK32VDKZ7Z6 on 2008-02-15
  Got this case for a 500Gb IOMEGA hard drive. It looks good but I never got to use it as the drive died.
  
  
• great product!!!
  By A2NR4QTU6IGPI7 on 2008-03-16
  the case is a perfect fit for my western digital 500GB External Drive & its charger. i love it!!!
  
  
• great item!
  By A2ACTZ6780DVPB on 2008-04-06
  totally happy w/ this case. i use an external hard drive to hold all of my media. I.E. Movies/Pictures/Music/large files. so i am often carrying my external w/ my laptop. i had a 320gb lacie external that fit well, and i just upgraded to a 500gb lacie that's slightly bigger and it still fits well. keeps my external well protected while it's being transported and there's plenty of room for usb and power adapters! thanks case logic/amazon.
  
  
• perfect match
  By A2SHCB4NYM7AJ9 on 2008-04-07
  It is perfect for the Western Digital My Book Essential Edition 1 TB Hard Drive I bought!
  The External Hard Drive fits in perfectly! and it is perfect for storage and traveling!
  
  
• Great case, fits 3.5 inch internal hard drives that you've put into an external hard drive enclosure
  By A1CBIY98YP57LZ on 2008-04-07
  If you've taken a standard 3.5 inch internal hard drive and installed it into an external hard drive enclosure, it will fit in this case. I bought 2 and love 'em.
  
  
• Great idea - worthwhile investment to protect vital equipment
  By A8NMQBPVX4LR9 on 2008-05-14
  This is an excellent product idea - one long overdue. The compartment size is significantly larger in size on the model called 'large' (the only one available on the site) than needed to fill any external hard drive I have ever used. In fact, it was so large I have almost put two of them in this space.
  There is a clever zipper space under the lid for storing cords, zip drives, etc.
  
  
• You'd swear it was made for the EEE
  By A1I5QBO648OFRV on 2008-05-16
  On the recommendation of a website, I bought this as a case for my EEE subnotebook and it fits PERFECTLY. Unlike the official EEE cases, they don't have a compartment for the power brick, but this one fits the machine as well as many other goodies (power brick, mini mice, SD cards, flash drives). I can't recommend this enough if you're a EEE owner.
  
  
• Perfect for my LaCie HD
  By A3J8LUC8T4U07F on 2008-06-02
  This Case Logic case is perfect. Although the "small" sized case MAY have fit my LaCie HD, ( LaCie Desktop Hard Disk 301285U 500 GB USB 2.0 External Hard Drive) it would have been far too tight and would not have had the room this medium sized case has for cables and other small but necessary items for taking your HD on the road. This case is very strong, well made, and the zipper opening is also well constructed. I think this case will last a good many years and provides a way to bring along/move a HD easily and without worry. Even the price is terrific through Amazon.
  
  
• WAY TOO BIG FOR LACIE 160 GB Rugged Hard Drive USB 2.0/FireWire400/FireWire800 8MB Cache
  By A334QM7ZBWGZMO on 2008-06-21
  THIS CASE IS WAY TOO ROOMY FOR LaCie 160 GB Rugged Hard Drive USB 2.0/FireWire400/FireWire800 8MB Cache PORTABLE external HARD DRIVE & ACCESSORIES.
  
  I exchanged the case for the SMALL CASE LOGIC portable external hard drive case and it is a great fit, secure, no jiggling about and bouncing around in the small case. Storage area for all of the cables and leads inside, too. The SMALL size is perfect for the LaCie Rugged!!!!!
  
  If you have a lacie Rugged drive, choose the small Case Logic--the medium case doesn't hold the lacie drive in place at all. Even with all of the cables and leads stuffed in beside the drive, it rattled around in the excess room.
  
  I'm sure this medium size is great for larger accessories like KINDLE. The Case Logic products I've purchased have all held up well. Nothing against this case. Just match it to the correct product to be stored inside.
