Case Logic E-Sling Mini-Review
I got something (apparently discontinued) that is a cross between
this bag and
this bag. But more the size of the first one. Haha, apparently they have rebranded my bag into an iPad bag and removed the flip over magnetic messenger bag style thing. It doesn't have the extra two strips of padding like the large one either, but my medium one does. I got it for $35 at Best Buy. They had one for $25 that is small that seems similar to this one that is a tighter fit.
The smaller one holds the iPad and the bluetooth keyboard (barely--it slightly stretches when you zip closed), but I took it back because I wanted to have enough room to store papers that I get in class (or am bringing to turn in) without folding them up.
I really like my medium sized case as it holds the iPad fine in the Apple case and stores the keyboard without it stretching, along with little extra pockets. The metal mesh pocket is nice for keeping headphones in, it has two pen holders, and nice pockets to store an iPhone snug and keys. Its black with a nice red interior. It is simple but looks nice. As for long-term durability, we'll see.
Case-logic doesn't seem to be the fanciest brand, but it seems to offer nice protection, magnetic latches for the flap, and lots of little pockets: two sections, one for iPad, one for keyboard / papers, two zippered pockets: one external and one internal, two exterior velcro pockets, and five open internal pockets, one of which seems made for an iPhone and a mesh one for headphones, and two elastic pen holders. My only real complaint is that the shoulder strap isn't padded or removable but it is adjustable. Anyone have suggestions for a padded snap on for the strap?
Again, I have this first one, but with extra padding liner and magnetic flap of the second one, which I feel makes it nicer:
