This notebook case is not a kind of case which you often see people traveling with; it is made of a soft material which would allow you, if you wanted so, to pack the case into a roll like a sleeping bag. It does not have any serious side pockets or roomy internal compartments (you might be able to fit several folders with papers next to your laptop, but even a power supply would buldge from the side), does not provide any protection for your computer other than a medium-thin padding on all sides, and does not seem to be water or dirt – proof. Additionally, the plastic clips which are used to attach its shoulder belt suggest that it was designed for light duty applications (more expensive models use metal clips). This approach allowed Targus to make this case very light and very well suited for transporting a notebook short distances, like from a parking lot to your office. However, if you want to travel with your laptop, you will be tempted to either use this case as merely a sleeve to store your laptop in your carry-on bag, or to get a more robust case. Be sure that you understand what you are buying, it will not work equally well for all applications. It is very attractively priced, but when you see and touch it, you realize that it is not that much of a bargain.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Several reviews on this page, including the two most highly ranked reviews which appear first on this page, refer to Targus backpack, which is a completely different product! Don’t get mislead, they are totally irrelevant to this slip case! Watch carefully for a comment in italics at the end of the reviews to see which product they refer to.

The outside of the case is fine but I was disappointed to find no padding of any kind inside the case to protect my computer. Consequently, I would not recommend purchasing this product.

For the price, I expected a lot more. Perhaps I shouldn’t have, “Slip Case” is probably accurate, but the quality feels like it is for disposable one-time use, and gives almost no protection to the computer. This will be the first ever item I return to Amazon in 7 years of shopping here.

I keep reading these reviews and realized there was a mix up and those reviews are for another bag! Discard all the reviews here mostly because they are not for the Targus CVR217! This is not a backpack and will fit a 17 inches notebook nicely.
The metal clip are solid and the shoulder strap comfortable. The bag is amazingly light at 1lbs and that kind of help compensate for the 8 lbs of my Dell Inspiron e1705 notebook.

The first review in this series, entitled “Good Job Targus!” is what convinced me to buy this bag. All I can guess is that the product must have been changed a lot since that user bought it: The clips are plastic, not metal, there is no velcro strap (or any other kind of strap) inside the bag to secure the laptop, and there is certainly not 1″ of padding surrounding the laptop–more like 1/8″. It’s an okay product, I guess, but not great by any stretch of the imagination. What I expected, based on previous reviews, and what I received, were quite different…which is a bit disappointing.
