Solo Smart Strap Laptop Case review

Measuring 17 inches wide by 12 inches high by 6 inches deep, the Solo Smart Strap is a bulky laptop case and will likely be the only bag you carry--so make sure everything you need fits inside. From the outside, it certainly looks as if a 17-inch desktop replacement would fit, but the interior laptop pocket is heavily padded on all four sides, so a 15.4-inch mainstream laptop fits snugly inside. Smaller laptops could fit as well, but they'd be swimming around the padded laptop pocket, so we'd stick with a 15.4-inch model.

There are plenty of pockets and storage areas inside the case. The front pocket has accordion-style folds and three compartments, plus an additional slim zippered pocket on the outside face. On the right side is a Velcro-closed mobile phone pocket. The main laptop section has a Velcro strap to hold your system in place and several small pockets on the inside front wall. Behind the laptop section is another pair of zippers that opens a rear accordion pocket, with three compartments that can all hold letter-size pages. Finally, the rear face has a pass-through for the extending handle of your suitcase and a small pocket suitable for holding something like a boarding pass.
