Like others before me, I think this case is more a protective cover a carrying pouch. Well padded, it is adapted to a storage in a suitcase or bag and does not have handles for portable transport. My Mac fits perfectly there but do not think to put food or too bulky accessories, side pocket does not lend itself at all. Never disappointed with this brand, I think I will serve me to protect my precious little Mac in my travels but for more frequent use, I think a real small bag will be more functional. But for such a low price, I think it would be foolish to deny it.
