Strengths: comfortable, easy rolling, well-placed telescoping handle, well balanced
Weaknesses: does not expand for additional storage
Summary: This bag has a lot going for it; just to mention a few items: HANDLES - soft rubber handles nests together, is very comfortable and strong TELESCOPING HANDLES - comfortable rubber grip, well placed (I'm 5'10", wife uses the case and is 5'2") DOCUMENT COMPARTMENT - ingenious, well-placed pocket, good for tickets and other paperwork that you need to have ready in a hurry HARDWARE STORAGE - store your transformer and other heavy hardware in the back pocket, which give a low center of gravity and nicely balances the load. WHEELS - wheels are spaced wide (like the Pontiac wide-track commercials... wider is better), you'll notice that they are slightly canted inward (kinda' like a jogging stroller) for better stability. EXPANDABLE SIDE STORAGE - there's a neat velcro flap that isn't noticeable, but expands to hold your water bottle. AND MUCH, MUCH MORE
Okay, on the down-side, this case accommodates up to a 17" computer. I have a 15", so there's a lot of wasted space in the computer sleeve. A dividing panel (w/velcro) would be nice to make better use of the sleeve. Also, the sleeve attaches by zipper and is not usable as a individual component. Would be nice if you could use the sleeve by itself, if necessary. Lastly, expandable file storage would be good.
The Kensington website has a good product description and pictures. Check it out, then go to retailer website (i.e. Buy.com, etc.) to make your purchase.

Strengths: Many compartments to put things
Nice feature in wheels
not particularly heavy
Nice Ergonmic handle
Weaknesses: Cannot fit other bags on handle
Shoulder strap can not handle large weight
Padded computer case can not be used as a stand alone
Summary: Overall, this is the best bag on the market today. The wheels are well placed and the bag has a place where you can fit it onto other handles if carrying it with luggage.

 Kenstington Contour Rolling Laptop Case Strengths: Easy to roll--large wheels. Lots of space for all the extras you need with your laptop. Side bottle holder is handy. Shoulder strap works well if the case is not overloaded with heavy items.
Weaknesses: Several zippers have failed /tabs pulled out/ teeth separated/stitching pulled out from case. Not able to strap extras to single pole handle.
Summary: I've had this case for 1 3/4 years under extra heavy usage. I load lots of extras into the case adding much extra weight and using its total internal capacity. I have it in and out of my vehicle 3-5 times a day and put many miles on the wheels and case on the streets of a large Northern city. It's been through snow, rain, heat, stairs, gravel, etc.
Overall the case has survived pretty well and I still use it daily. The biggest failure is the zippers, but under the circumstances, it's not unexpected.
It would be helpful to have the double handle, so I could strap stuff on top of the case. I'm not asking much--just need industrial strength for what I do!

Strengths: Large space. Good roller.
Weaknesses: Too heavy for using every day
Summary: This contour roller is large enough to put a lot of items included notebook PC and portable speaker. It is very convenient for travel but I think it is too heavy to carry every day.

Strengths: Good size computer storage, light weight yet durable construction, contour shape, ergonomic handle.
Weaknesses: None identified yet.
Summary: I really love my new contour rolling briefcase by Kensinton. My 17 inch computer fit easily within the inside protector. The ergonomic handle is terrific. The briefcase is well constructed, yet light, and the zippers are heavy duty. It is a keeper.

Strengths: Well protected computer sleeve. Many storage pockets. Ergonomic Handle. Hidden Telescoping Handle. Overall Great Quality of Fabric and Hardware- looks like it will hold up. Great padded shoulder strap
Weaknesses: HEAVY- even by itself without any contents. Handle seems a bit wobbly- concern about breakage but I have never used a product like this before, it may be okay. Not enough storage for paperwork.
Summary: This bag seems to be very high quality. I am impressed with the product. It is heavy but I purchased it for the rolling feature so that shouldn't normally be an issue. There are many sotrage pockets. Great for organizing all of the little things. There isn't a lot of storage for paperwork but I it isn't terrible either. The pockets are very deep and roomy and my laptop is well protected even though it quite a bit smaller than 17 inches. I like the pockets in the back for laptop accessories so that they do not take up room in the pockets. Overall a great product and highly recommended!

Strengths: Well Made and Light Weight
Weaknesses: too Many zippers (gets confussing)
Summary: I received this item from dell, $90. It is extremly well made and easy to use. I lihe the contuor handle, it telocopes into the bag very nicely (stays hidden). LOTS of compartment sand zippers to stuff your items into. it can be confusing to try and remeber where I put everything. Great item!

Strengths: light weight, computer is well protected, easy rolling
Weaknesses: not much space left for additional stuff
Summary: First bought one for my girlfriend , later one for myself. It's
very practical for people who travel, seems also to be durable. The only issue I have is that apart from the computer you can carry in it only small (thin) stuff. It's a shame since it looks bulky enough.

Strengths: Ideal form-factor for 14-17 inch laptops, ease of carry on shoulder, weight distribution is low and on wheels.
Weaknesses: No lock hasp on laptop compartment, removable padded laptop sleeve could be re-designed as a portable case.
Summary: The curved single-post handle sets this roller apart, a great innovation. Ergonomic strap, handles and contour panel keeps weight manageable. Space is used efficiently in compartment layout. Odd shapes for the various netted compartments provide versatility in storage. A lifetime limited warranty is included. But why are the wheels colored blue?

Strengths: portable and affordable price
Weaknesses: NA
Summary: portable and affordable price, looks very professional, and can carry about 25lbs. I'm so lucky to buy it at buy.com with just $40 after rebate which is very cheap comparing with other seller. Over all, great price for me, and good product too
