Comments about Pelican Pelican Watertight Hard 17" Computer Case with Lid Organizer, Hi-Density Pick N Pluck Foam & Shoulder Strap.:
The pros are all based around providing saftey and security for the Apple 15 inch computer. I don't worry about it when in this case!
Cons include price point and bulk. What is peace of mind worth?

Comments about Pelican Pelican Watertight Hard 17" Computer Case with Lid Organizer, Hi-Density Pick N Pluck Foam & Shoulder Strap.:
I travel on a regular basis and wanted a rugged case for my laptop; after all, the recent commercial showing a flight attendant cramming a laptop bag into the overhead bin is not far from the truth.
This case provides fantastic protection. The pick and pluck foam allowed me easily create a perfect outline for my laptop and set aside another area for my power supply. The latches are very secure. When using this case, I have no concerns about people trying to cram bags into an overhead and damaging my laptop.
On the downside, it's wider than any previous case I've carried and I still bang it into doors and walls as I turn. It is a bit large to fit well under the seat on the airplane; I do this whenever possible but it sticks out enough to consume what little room I would normally have for my feet. Also, the leather organizer in the lid could use more sealable pockets.
Overall, I'm happy with the purchase and am pleased to have such a strong case for my laptop.
