 light-duty notebook case, very light and very basicJul 24, 2005
By +++
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.

 Ooh, it makes me mad...Aug 09, 2006
By Anon
I used this bag for one year to carry my 13.3", 4.2 lb laptop (without the charger) and occasionally a textbook (never more than one - there wasn't enough space). It served me well enough at the time. The shoulder strap was comfortable, and the separate front pocket was easy to access and large enough to hold my other stuff. The downside: one day, while walking to class, the D-shaped ring on the side broke and the shoulder strap released. Absolute disaster! Sure, the bag is well padded, but it does nothing to protect a laptop after it plunges 3 feet onto concrete. My laptop was in bad shape: there was a hole in the casing on the corner where it had impacted the ground. Also, my wireless internet on-off switch stopped working. Unfortunately, it had gotten stuck in the "off" position.
I called Targus customer service and received nothing more than a hard-to-hear (overseas) service rep reciting the company's mission statement. I asked to talk to a higher-up and was denied. Later I received an email offering to replace my bag, as per the warranty. I didn't take them up on the offer, nor will I be entrusting my laptop (back to normal now, after a $400+ repair) to a Targus product.
Bottom line: I can't recommend this product to anybody. Current owners, check your D-rings; mine were separated in a very inconspicuous line.

Tartus CVR217 Neoprene Slip Case for 17" NotebookJan 11, 2007
By C. Szasz
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.

DisappointingApr 01, 2008
By Paul K
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.

 So fast and easy!Oct 17, 2009

LIKE:
I own a 17" HP9000t laptop "HP Pavilion Entertainment PC (which I really dislike, but this review is about the case so I'll stop here). It fits the Targus CVR217 Neoprene Slip Case, that I bought for $[...], perfectly with a bit of room to spare. I am able to take my cordless mouse and receiver, power cord, and extra battery.
The case has just enough padding to protect the laptop easily from low and probably medium level bumps, but not for major drops such as off your shoulder onto a cement surface.
Normally for travel I use a Mobile Edge Paris regular (not slimline) backpack. It's too large to put on your lap in an airplane and too large to put on the floor when traveling coach on most airlines. Amazon link to view Paris backpack: http://www.amazon.com/MOBILE-EDGE-MEBPW1-Paris-Backpack/dp/B000B54H6C/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=apparel&qid=1255804426&sr=8-1
So, I bought the Targus bag which is perfect for travel and to toss the laptop into and go quickly for everyday use. I've found myself even using the Targus on road trips when I also take the larger Paris bag to hold computer accessories in the inside open styled pocket such as game keypad, large headphones with mic, extra cords, and the like. The bag does bulge from the cords and mouse, but doesn't look unsightly. I love this bag!
A prior reviewer mentioned that the shoulder strap wasn't robust enough. I haven't found that to be the case and I have long hair to constantly mess with getting it out of shoulder straps. The shoulder strap feels solid to me, sits snugly on my shoulder, and hasn't slipped off once.
DISLIKE:
My only complaint is that I wish the outside compartment had a zipper instead of a Velcro tab in the center to help secure items in the pocket.
