Targus Corporate Traveler Checkpoint-Friendly Traveler Laptop Case for 14-Inch Laptop, Black (CUCT02UA14S)

This review is for the 14" model.I have a new 13" MacBook Pro and needed something for airline travel. I wanted it to be large enough to hold some easily accessible items while in flight, but small enough to fit under the seat in front of me. This thing is perfect, and has some very nice, well though out touches.It has two sections, the large one where the handles are, and the smaller one in front of that. Lets start with the small section. If you look at the image of it, you'll see that on the outside panel there's what looks like a decorative C-shaped seam near the zippers at the top. This is actually the opening of a pocket that's perfect for holding quick-access items like your passport or tickets. The pocket is the full size of the front panel of this section and measures roughly 8" x 13".When you open the zipper on the small section, on the inside surface of that front panel is a car-key hook, and two mesh pockets (uncovered) measuring 4" x 2" and 4" x 10". The opposite side of this compartment is an organizer panel with 3 pen pockets 2 USB thumb drive slots, one SD card slot, and one business card slot. It also has 3 pockets with velcro-secured cover flaps, one measuring 5.5" x 5", and two measuring about 5.5" x 2.25".And then, of course there's the interior area of the small section, between these two panels, which can be used for papers, magazines, etc. This section is about 1.5" thick, but the front panel is flexible so you could stuff some bulkier items in here, depending on how many other things you have in the interior pockets of this section.Lets move on to the main, larger section, with the handles. Somebody was really thinking when they designed these handles! Normally on a case like this, there's two handles with a velcro flap that wraps around them to hold them together. Of course, that flap is a pain in the neck when you need to get things in and out of the case. These handles are bent inwards near the top so that the two handles overlap each other naturally and kind of nest against each other. In addition, they have magnets in them that keep them together like the velcro flap would. But it's extremely quick and easy to open and close without having to deal with velcro, and they're comfortable too. Great design touch!The big section's main feature is that it has a zipper to split the case in half to lay flat for airline screening. The zipper-tabs on this section have a little airplane symbol on them to help you quickly identify it and differentiate it from the other nearby zippers. Nice touch! If you're pre-approved, you may not need this feature, but it can also be used as an additional compartment for some thin items like papers or magazines. Even if you want to use this feature, it has a velcro-flap covered pocket on the front side of the split section, that lets you store thin items. The interior of this split section is about 15" x 10.5"The computer pocket is a good sized area and is WAY overkill for my 13" MacBook Pro. But it's well designed and has velcro-ed in shock absorbing panels on the bottom and the two ends. With those in place, it looks like you could fit a computer that's about 13.5" x 10.5" x 2". If you removed them, you could probably gain an extra inch in each direction.The final pocket in the big section is the front one, right behind the small section. It contains a velcroed, padded pocket for a tablet, that measures about 10.5" x 8.25". I can easily fit my 9" iPad with its protective cover on. The remainder of this compartment has a semi-rigid file folder type divider, with webs at each end so you can't flip this compartment all the way open after unzipping it. It's obviously designed to hold files or other flat items.The bag comes with two accessories packed inside. One is a zippered pouch with mesh on one side. It's about 8.5" x 3.5" and looks like it might hold a power adapter and cables for your laptop. This is a completely separate item so it could be stuffed in any convenient location in the bag. The other accessory is the shoulder strap. The hooks on this look very robust and much more durable than what I'm used to seeing on cheaper bags. The shoulder pad has 2 places where it narrows, allowing the center part to tilt one way or the other to match the slope of your shoulder. This makes it very comfortable since you don't have one side of it digging into your shoulder with all the weight.Overall, a great bag that checks all the boxes for me. Love it!

This is a good solid case. The case is very sleek and fits a 14" laptop perfectly. If you like to take a water bottle with you when you travel, there really isn't any good place to put it in the bag. The case holds perfectly what it says it will, flat files, miscellaneous electronics, etc. But anything with any thickness to it seems to cramp the case. Case is made extremely well and looks very professional.

I've owned a Targus briefcase since the 90s. This year after purchasing a somewhat smaller laptop (14" MacBook Pro) I decided to upgrade my briefcase too. This new case does not disappoint. It's well constructed and has compartments for papers, computer, iPad, and related cables/adapters. Highly recommended.

I travel light, so this fits my needs precisely!

The bag was listed as "used" but what I received was a brand new bag. Great design and materialsThank you seller and Amazon!

Since I fly every week, I was looking for a TSA approved laptop bag. This one is perfect. It fits my HP 8460p laptop with plenty of room for extras. Unzipping the center of the bag allows me to segregate the laptop side from my extras to sent it through the x-ray without pulling my laptop out of the bag. On the other side of the x-ray, I just grab the handles together and I'm off to the gate. No fumbling with trying to slide a laptop back into a bag before leaving security.

This is a very high quality bag...has exceeded my expectations.

Good thing is you can carry two laptops comfortably. Stable, can sit on the floor without falling when it’s not loaded.
