Product summary

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

The bad 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.

The retractable shoulder strap is such an ingenious concept, we're surprised it isn't standard equipment on every laptop bag. Put the bag over your shoulder and the strap automatically deploys to a comfortable length--you can pull it out further if needed. When you slip the bag off, the strap automatically retracts into slots on the left and right sides of the bag's top panel. An added bonus was the built-in shock absorption we got when walking with a laptop in the bag, as the strap moved in and out of its housing.
