 Exceptional case Feb 02, 2010
By Kiwi
I bought this Targus case after returning the Case Logic VNC-17.
The Targus case is very well made. It has lots of padding and rubber bumpers, the handle and strap attachment are webbing reinforced and very strong, it had good additional storage and a loop on the back to go over wheeling suitcase handles. This case is well worth the extra $ compared to the Case Logic VNC-17.
This is the same case as the 'Targus Blacktop Deluxe 17 Laptop Case w/ Dome Protection CPT401DUS' - however, without the dome.
It is a good fit for my HP G71 laptop (and I can even get the power adapter in the main compartment (in the nifty accessory pouch) along the top, not the side of the laptop.
INTERNAL dimensions are 17" x 13.5" x 2".

Targus 17" laptop case Nov 22, 2008
By D. McGuire
I purchased the targus platinum blacktop standard 17 laptop case on the description given at amazon.com. It turned out to be better than I expected. It had more compartments for storage than I thought possible. I have taken it on an airplane and am really pleased with the size, efficieancy and ease of use. I would recommend this case to anyone looking for a great case at a reasonable price. I checked at Office Max and the same case was twice what I paid for it on amazon.com

I LOVE IT! Mar 17, 2010
By K. Newman
Lots of pockets, pouches, storage space and easily fits the 17.3" screen. Can't think of anything I'd change!
And I found the exact same model at Micro Center for double the price.

 Great Bag for Reasonable Price Jul 17, 2008
By Robin L. McLaughlin
I was leery of buying a notebook case online without being able to see how well it fit my needs in person. But the idea of traipsing from store to store in the summer heat trying to find the perfect bag wasn't very appealing either. I was also a bit leery about this bag in particular, because it didn't have any reviews yet. But after doing a lot of comparing on Amazon I went ahead and purchased this one (the CBT201US) and it has turned out to be exactly what I needed. I'd read really good reviews of Targus cases in the past so that's what I concentrated on mostly, though I did a little comparing to other brands.
The Blacktop Messenger case is a really good middle-of-the-road case. It's not totally minimalistic with room for just your notebook and not much else, and it's not as heavy and bulky as some of the tote-every-electronic-gadget-you-own types of cases. For context, this is my first notebook computer and its main purposes are to serve as backup data storage and as a portable entertainment center for music, movies, and games when vacationing. So I wanted a case that would hold things like my power cord, mouse, some disks, flash drive, and mini-speakers, but didn't weigh a ton or feel like I was lugging around an entire extra suitcase.
The Blacktop Messenger has exactly the right amount of room for your essentials, and a few more things. It's very well designed for creating maximum storage in minimal space. The picture shows the layout of the inside of the front compartment really well. In addition to that, there is a small flat zippered pocket on the cover flap that's perfect for things like airline tickets or anything else you need to grab quickly. There's a flat velcroed pocket on the back that would be good for documents or magazines. The main interior has the padded slot to top load your notebook (with a top velcro strap for extra security), and then also another relatively roomy slot that can fit things like a portable HD, power cords, or other slightly bulky - but not huge, items. (For reference I have a Dell 15.4" notebook, and it easily fits in the padded slot.) There's also a cell phone case on the shoulder strap, but it's attached with a velcro strap so you can take it off if it bugs you.
One of the reasons I was looking at this case was because it has the slots for CD/DVD disks. It turns out I'm not thrilled with carrying them that way, afraid that if I banged the bag hard they could get damaged. But I found that a square, zippered 12 capacity disk case that I already owned fits perfectly in that spot on top of the disk slots and solves the problem nicely. With the case adding a bit more padding buffer I'd even feel comfortable sticking some disks in the slots if I needed the extra storage.
Pros:
Rubber tread on bottom and partway up the sides to provide a bit extra shock absorption and also protect the case material if you end up having to set it down on an icky floor.
Really good layout of storage compartments with plenty of room to carry the usual essentials, plus the ability to really cram in some extras when needed.
There's a headphone cord hole in the front so you can listen to your portable music player while leaving it in the bag.
Has a handle on top to carry it briefcase style in addition to the shoulder strap.
Sturdy, rugged design feels like it will hold up for a long time.
Very reasonable price for this quality and size of bag.
Cons:
I wish the shoulder strap could extend to be a little bit longer. When carrying it for any distance I prefer to have the strap across my chest, not just over one shoulder, and I'm a large person so the bag rides up higher than I'd like.
The business card holder is a waste of space. Most people who carry business cards already have them in their wallet or something and the rest of us have no need for it. The top zippered pouch should have been extended across the top of that section or another small pouch put there instead of the card holder. (The card holder is designed in such a way that nothing else would really go there very well.)
Neutral:
Some people might not like that the shoulder strap is the kind that is permanently attached, rather than the kind with swivel hooks. It makes for a much sturdier design with less fear of the strap breaking when the case is in use, but it also makes untangling it more difficult and you can't swap out for a longer strap.
This is a top loading case, which is perfect for my needs. If you're a frequent business traveler though and use your notebook on the plane you'd probably be happier with the kind where you can use the computer while its still in the case.
The shoulder pad on the shoulder strap is sewn to the strap so you can't adjust its position at all, which might irritate some people. On the other hand, since the strap doesn't have a wide range of adjustable lengths, the pad doesn't really need to be moved and some people might like that it doesn't slide around.
Summary:
This case is designed in a manner to more than adequately suit my needs and I'm very happy with my purchase and the price I paid for it. I only rated it 4 instead of 5 stars because things are rarely ever perfect and there's room for a little bit of improvement on this one. But there's nothing that makes me wish I'd gotten something else instead or that is truly detrimental to the design.

Pretty solid except for the handle... Oct 17, 2007
By Francis Wong
"fwong"
...satisfied enough to rate this case a 4 out of 5 stars. My only complaint is that the telescoping handle will get stuck periodically and I have to jiggle it from side-to-side to make it collapse fully. Otherwise, the main compartment is generous and can hold enough for an overnight trip. And the computer compartment is well padded (if anything its a little too large for my MacBook Pro).
