## First Impression ##
... Was positive. The bag came in a large cardboard box and was wrapped in a plastic bag. Inside was a cardboard strip to stabilize. Everything can look very sophisticated, especially the neoprene is pleasant to the touch, and very stable even from the inside. Of course no comparison to velor, but you have to pay even more. 2 zippers and a protective lip provide additional confidence that the expensive equipment is well protected.
However, I must agree with the others here, as far as the pungent odor. It is a relatively pungent smell, similar to that of plasticizers in China products. That might give the wrong impression, but I do not think that indicates toxins in your pocket.
The smell kept pretty long in the pocket, although I had used to combat some Neutraisationsmittel and soap. After at least 3 weeks, but should have no need.
## Using ##
Unlike it is here the case is definitely too big for 13 "notebooks. I use it with a 14.5" device and had plenty of room. For fun I had tested the whole thing at one time 15-incher and it fits. Then you can not say anything more grand stuck in the pockets, but when it meets Tragesleeve still its purpose.
I personally use the pocket for mouse, UMTS stick, cleaning cloth, Mousepad, I-Podkabel, USB charging cable and still have plenty of space. However, the bag is quite thick, if you still reinpackt the power supply. Space is enough, but it is hard to get the whole thing in a full backpack.
Otherwise, it's great not to have to always take a backpack or carry the notenook under his arm. The weight distribution is also fairly balanced, so there are no problems while taking advantage of the handles. There is yet another pocket with velcro, in which I always stow my battery at the house operation.
## CONCLUSION ##
+ 2in1 function
+ Stable, stretchable material
+ 2 additional pockets and handles
+ Double zipper with protective lip
o Plenty of space for various laptop sizes
o unobtrusive design (especially for men)
- Fetid odor during the first few weeks
- Bulky when packed
What does one say at a large bag? I find it just perfect.
There are so few reasonable solutions that offer bags and handle, that I am glad to have come across the product from Dicota. Of course, there is no jetz world sensation, but the bag serves its purpose, both as a Sleeve (which can interfere with the handles sometimes) as well as a laptop bag.
2in1 and then also at an unbelievably low price. For me clear 5 star.
