Review on Protective XANAD Hard Case For Samsung T7 Portable SSD - Up To 1050MB/S External Solid State Drive With Shield And Touch Features - 1TB, 2TB, 250GB And 500GB Capacity Options by David Merculief

I am impressed, which is rare. At this more than affordable price point, I purchased this case along with several others to compare them. My Samsung SSD T5's weren't cheap. I bought the black case with grey interior that has space for two drives. The two drives fit snugly and securely into the slots. I even ventured to turn the case upside down while open to see if they fell out. They did not. They held fast! Having said that, they are NOT rammed or squashed into the slots, it's just the right amount of pressure. That's a win. The outer shell is sturdy. I stacked 12 thick hardcover novels on top of it, it did not bend, shift, or crush. The books remained balanced and flat and the case did not give (Yes, I read ebooks too.hardcovers are for our personal library). I know I could have stacked more on it, but that pile was heavy so I took it easy on myself, not the case. My zipper worked flawlessly. It didn't catch, snag, or break. Zipping and unzipping multiple times and it glided smoothly each time. No issues in that area. The stitching on my case is fine. No zipper teeth are showing when closed. It doesn't pop open. There aren't any gaps I do not see any loose threads and the lines are pretty much straight. It is aesthetically pleasing with the red and contrasting grey/white stitching along the zipper line. Again, no issues. My clip on strap worked fine as well. Having given it many tugs and yanks, it certainly seems secure and sturdy. The swivel on the clip works as well and wasn't damaged by the pulling. No issues here. I did see mention of an odor in another review. It is a common occurrence when purchasing items that have a black dye. Shirts, cases, folios, etc. It really was a non issue because like anything else I let it air out. I took it out of it's protective bag, opened the case, and let it sit for a day. It is fine now. This coming from a person who is prone to migraines and can't handle strong perfumes, scents, odors, candles, etc. So, using common sense and letting it air out like any other black dyed item, once again there are no issues here. I would recommend this item. I'm very happy with it.
