I bought this case to hold my WD My Passport Portable External Hard Drive, along with 2 USB cables. Amazon suggested this product when I purchased the drive, I bought it a few days later based on their feedback. My findings:
* Solid little case with strong outer shell. You can pinch the case and NOT feel the contents inside nor make any noticeable dent
* Excellent padding in the compartment you store the drive in. Raised ridges both on the case lining as well as the flap that seperates the drive compartment from the mesh pocket/cable section. These ridges are covered by a very soft fabric that does not leave a mark on the contents. Shaking the case when closed, there is no movement inside (with one note I mention in the cons section below)
* Mesh compartment has good depth, allowing you to store thick or multiple cables
* Storage pocket/sleeves on the flap are available, single-stitch sewn, but I don't really have any use/plans for them
* The zippers move smoothly and seem strong enough, time will tell here. I do like dual zipper so you can open/close in either direction
* Carry handles: 2 of them. Since I am using this case for a hard drive, I do NOT plan on using the carry straps included. One is a silver buckle in-line with the zipper. The case comes with a lanyard/clip you can attach to this. The second is a hard-plastic attachment point on the body of the case (see photo with 3 pictures). This does seem sturdy, but I don't care for the attachment point and will be removing. It is secured with a plastic rivet that goes through the case and into the section where the drive is stored. There is a felt covering hiding the attachment point (see top insert photo), and lifting this shows it is secured through (lower insert photo). I'll snap the rivet off, close the hole with a black insert to keep dirt/dust out. That is just my personal preference, others may want the attachment point.
Only con to this case:
* Inside dimensions: As mentioend, Amazon suggested this case as an add-on when I purchased the WD Passport hard drive. The case is slightly too big for this particular drive, which means it can slide from side-to-side, even when closed. Long-wise there is a gap, while top-to-bottom a snug enough fit. Easily enough solved by adding a small foam insert, but I thought worth mentioning for WD Passport users. I have included two photos with ruler so you can see exact inner dimensions: approx 4 1/4 (or 4 1/2 given the angled sides) by 3 inches (or 3 1/4 given the angled sides).
Overall, I am very satisfied with this case, and if the zippers hold up to repeated use/wear-and-tear, should provide years of protection.
