Case Logic 17-Inch Security Friendly Laptop Roller (ZLRS-217)

After my last business trip to Europe with a shoulder bag for my laptop I vowed never to repeat the experience - it's just too much weight to carry around for hours and yet at the same time it wasn't enough room to accommodate an overnight stay.Features:The front pouch, secured with a very chunky zipper, is great for smaller things to which you might need ready access - boarding passes, maps, etc. Behind that is a very useful, multi-compartment area that accommodates passports, memory sticks, USB cables and the like. Just above this is a small pouch with wide zippered opening that I find holds a laptop power brick and cables just fine.Moving further back, the next compartment is the primary laptop storage area. There's the padded laptop sleeve, intended to make easy removal for security screening simpler, a dedicated tablet pouch that holds an iPad very securely, and an expanding document portfolio area that helps organize papers and the like.Finally you come to the overnight part of the case, just big enough for a couple of shirts , underwear and the bare minimum of toiletries.The handle extends far enough for me to feel comfortable pulling the bag (I'm 6'4"), and the wheels roll easily over everything I've tried so far.Size is absolutely perfect for overheads, where you'll typically be one of the smaller bags - there's no trouble at all finding space.Construction:Much better quality throughout than I was expecting. Materials, zips, stitching - all very well done and to a high standard. There's a feeling of quality throughout.In Use:Perfect - exactly what I needed. I carry laptop, Kindle, iPad, cameras and other stuff with ease and absolutely none of the shoulder ache I had before!

I fly every week for work and wanted a hybrid carry on that could hold some changes of clothes, work files and electronics. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR!!!!! About 60% of the bags space is perfect for work things (files, cords, electronics, small items) and has pockets to stay organized. The other 40% can hold 2 pairs of clothes but probably not a coat or shoes. This bag would have been 5 stars due to design, functionality and seaminly quality construction except for the handle. The handle extends with three telescopci shafts and one of the three on one side of the handle doesn't always open easily and catches on something. The handle is a bit flimsy also. I wish they just spent a little more effort on the handle because this bag would be PERFECT for me. Also, the handle pulls out quite far as most have reviewed. I'm 6'1" so it works well, but I'd guess that someone under 5'6" may find it a little long for their usage. Hope this helps and thanks to everyone else who reviews on Amazon!!! AlohaUPDATE- I'm so bummed!!!! On my first trip, the extension handle broke right off!!! I'm going to return the item today and I'm torn on whether I'd re-order another one. As I said above, the bag is exactly what I was looking for except for the handle quality, which I'm wondering if I just received a bad apple???? I down graded the rating from 4 stars to 2 stars as the bag is basically useless to me without the extension handle.

I travel allot for work and it is usually fora night at a time and was tired if having to lug my laptop around on my shoulder and dragging a 2nd bag with cloths. I saw a version of this at a store but didn't want to spend that much. So I check Amazon and ordered the Case Logic 17" Checkpoint Friendly Laptop Roller because is was a decent price and appeared to have room for a change of clothing.PRO's it has plenty of space & easy access for my laptop, iPad, cellphone, paperwork, and all the cords and wall chargers. The Handel extends far enough that it is comfortable the use if you are tall (I am over 6'). It also roles fine and is constructed without any noticeable issues.CON the space that would be used for clothing is a joke. The space is maybe 2" deep, so unless your a bikini model or a nudist you will be hard pressed to fit a change of underwear, let alone anything you could wear to a meeting.

This is my next attempt trying to find a carry on that can take all my gadgets; laptop, tablet, external hard drives, DSLR camera, lenses, etc. So far I've tried camera backpacks, wheeled backpacks, regular carry-ons, but all left something to be desired. However this roller seems to be the most promising so far. It is small enough to meet European carry on standards (they only allow 18 or so inches instead 21 in the US) but still fits a large laptop (Precision 6400 in my case) and a tablet perfecly. (The included laptop sleeve is actually huge, good enough for a 17 or even maybe a 18 incher so I have to use my previously purchased laptop sleeve which is for 15-16 incer.) It has plenty of space for magazines and papers, and what's also very useful that the front document compartment can be opened wide so no more struggle trying to find your passport or boarding card.My only complaint is that the clothing area could be a little deeper and its bottom is not flat as the handle bar is basically inside the compartment, not seperated. It's probably ok for clothes for a day or two, but it's not deep enough for a lens with case or a DSLR properly protected. (But again, I haven't really been able to find anything yet that carries my stuff properly with still room to go for a sweater, snacks, etc.)
