The good: Brilliant retractable strap; heavy padding; plenty of pockets.

The bad: Plain looking; not suitable for 17-inch laptops, despite its large size.

The bottom line: Only the fantastic retractable Smart Strap stands out on this otherwise conventional laptop case--but that one great feature is more than enough.

It's pretty rare to see someone walking down the street with just a laptop tucked under her arm--that's why we have laptop cases after all. Unfortunately, with countless makes and models available, choosing the right case is almost as confusing as buying a laptop in the first place. For fans of the traditional black nylon laptop case--the kind seen in airports and coffee shops around the world, the $99 Solo Smart Strap stands above the competition because of one feature--a retractable strap.
