The cover is not bad, beautiful colors, medium padding, it will protect your computer from scratches and small shocks between it and other elements in the same satchel! in case of fall, I think your computer will take a shock! However it is a carrying case and not for protection against shocks! Pay attention she just size! My 14 "returned just right must be even pull a little on the zipper shut the to avoid scratching his computer! Good brand! Good value price!
