It seems that a lot of people are receiving weird colored variations of the case shown, but mine is exactly as displayed.  Man, this thing is tough.  It is the perfect locking laptop case.  It can take a smashing and not even dent.  Good construction.  Not a lot of room, but not an inadequate amount of space either.  After I pop a laptop, power cord, mouse, wireless keyboard, ac adapter/surge protector, ipod and cord, and a few pens there is only room enough for maybe a few magazines or file folders.  The velcro strap inside keeps your belongings taught enough to prevent them from colliding.  The case also comes with two well-made, cushioned dividers that you might use if your laptop is not a 17 incher like mine.  It is not as heavy as you may think.  The handle is  comfortable.  The locking mechanism has never failed.  The lining has not ripped or sagged like other cheap briefcases.  All in all, this case is a perfect buy.  It protects your things better than anything else on the market.  It has ample room for a large laptop.  If you have files and books as well, you may be tight.  So just go buy a Samsonite backpack!  :)  That's my plan.  Oh yeah . . . it looks really cool.  You will get a few stares and maybe a nod or two from secret agents in plain clothes.
