Review on Premium Edition tomtoc 13 Inch Laptop Shoulder Bag - Waterproof Case for MacBook Air/Pro M1, iPad Pro, Surface Pro, Surface Laptop Studio/Book - Cordura Ballistic Fabric by Nicholas Lim

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Soft bag with nice lining for laptop/iPad and versatile storage for accessories

This bag is well thought out down to the smallest detail, like a quality zip, a padded laptop/iPad compartment and a decent shoulder bag strap with indentation - selected closures. So far so good, but now something is (for me) out of date. The case is not rigid on any level. If desired, the body can be easily folded in half. Overall, this is a "soft" case, and that edge makes it less protective, as we'd like. Two other disappointing elements are the immediate grip (they seem to use this on other models), which is uncomfortable in the hand and feels like a flat piece of plastic or a hard strip of vinyl, and the accessory section has overly generic "accessory pockets". (but a respectable mesh pocket on the opposite side). This company makes some good cases and the like that offer well thought out options for storing accessories. A bit disappointing for the price. Since I'll be using it for a 12.9-inch iPad, I'll have to consider a sturdy folio case or something similar to provide some protection from possible flexing. This is a multiple case issue that is a bit cramped. what you get for the price. I think it should be at least $10-15 less than the current price.

Pros
  • Sturdy workmanship
Cons
  • Long waiting time
