(More customer reviews)It was as if they custom designed this case to be a snug fit for my HP 17.3 Inch laptop computer. The main reason I purchased this case over the cheaper $53 case was because the picture showed the case strap for it to safely ride on the top of my carry-on luggage. My luggage only has a single center extension handle, but this case still rides on it fairly well unless I bump into something. But even so, it prevents it from hitting the floor. A dual extension handle like in the photo is highly desirable. There is a shoulder strap included with a broad thin sliding shoulder pad for improved comfort.
Since my laptop computer is such a tight fit, the only place to put the mouse, charger and electrical cord is in the section for the pens. They do fit, but not all that well. I do like the magnetic flap on the outside. I put my passport and other critical paperwork in that section. I am in China right now, so all I have is A4 sized paper (8.27 x 11.69 inches) to slide into the flap section and it fits well. Regular 8.5 X 11 inch paper will probably fit fine, but it might be a rather tight fit on width. Of course, paper length is no problem. The handles are a comfortable grip, but you will most likely be using the shoulder strap or have it riding on your luggage extended handle.
I've field tested it on a trip from Houston to Shanghai, and I am quite pleased with this purchase thus far.
