The notebook case (here in purple) I had ordered for my niece for Christmas. They came quickly and lush at packed. I had the impression that this bag was a customer returns, though it was all "like new", but looked ever opened out. That should not be a disadvantage here, however, because the laptop bag did not one: stink! I have read many reviews that the neoprene pockets terrible (sometimes for weeks) stink - This smelly in any way! The neoprene is relatively thick and so good protecting against shocks. Visually it acts by some "dumpy". Not quite my cup of tea, as well as the color! My niece but she has fallen and thus it has served its purpose.
