Icon Laptop Carrying Case - Good for Business on the Go

The Laptop Carrying Case by "icon" is Both Durable and Lightweight

Zachary Fruhling
I recently purchased a new laptop computer. As such I had to go shopping for a new laptop carrying case, since the carrying case for my old laptop was too small for my new laptop. I was looking for a carrying case that was neither too big nor too small, since I am often on the go and require something that is portable but just the right size to be carried easily. After shopping around for laptop carrying cases, I settled on a laptop carrying case by "icon".

The laptop carrying case by icon is a good medium-sized case that fits my laptop comfortably while still leaving room for a few accessories such as cables, cords, a portable mouse, and even some light paperwork or notes for whatever project I am working on for school or work at the moment. The icon laptop carrying case has an ingenious Velcro adjustment system inside that allows laptop computers of various sizes to fit snugly within the icon laptop carrying case. While this system is unnecessary for my computer, it would be an important feature for someone with a small to mid-sized laptop computer.

The icon laptop carrying case has both internal and external compartments for cords and cables, with a large outer compartment that I use for my laptop computer's AC power cord. There are also two smaller compartments within the icon case for other accessories like my portable wireless mouse. One thing I particularly enjoy is the way in which the icon laptop carrying case is tall enough to allow me to stow some paperwork and notes in a folder flap on the inside lid of the case. This allows me to carry some light paperwork without having to worry about damaging the laptop screen due to the extra weight on top of the computer.

The icon laptop carrying case has a sturdy shoulder strap that is both adjustable and removable. Some users will prefer to carry their laptop via the shoulder strap, while others such as I will prefer to carry their laptop like a briefcase by the handle. In either case, the icon laptop is sturdy enough to do the job without getting prematurely worn out, whether carried by the leather handle or by the padded shoulder strap.

One negative point about the icon laptop carrying case is the fact that it is a cloth case instead of a full leather case. This means that the icon laptop carrying case is not particularly water resistant like a treated leather case would be. But again there is a tradeoff made, since the cloth is significantly lighter weight than a leather case would be. This lighter weight is an advantage to someone like me who is highly mobile and often traveling or on the go.

In conclusion, if you are looking for an affordable, sturdy, and customizable laptop carrying case, the icon laptop carrying case is a balanced solution for portability and durability. I purchased my icon laptop carrying case for $29.99, which is quite a bit cheaper than other competing models of laptop carrying cases on the market, but I have been wholly satisfied with my case since I bought it.
