5Great Case, Great Price
By David Johnson
This case is exceptionally solid and well built. Considering many generic soft sided laptop cases are now arounf $50, this is also a steal. Inside is nicely padded for laptops.Note that the inner capacity dimensions don't include padding for some reason, so subtract about .25" to .5" from the given values.

5Perfect briefcase for the price
By John M
First, let me say that I have looked at a lot of briefcases both on and off Amazon. Unfortunately, nearly all of them either fall into the category of costing little, but looking like plastic toys or looking like finely crafted items, but costing many hundreds of dollars. Some even look well-built online, but once you receive them and see the cheap materials and lack of worksmanship, you realize that the price really was too good to be true.Not so with Vanguard. It fits in between a modestly-made case like a Samsonite and a luxuriously appointed case like a Zero Halliburton. Many of its parts are plastic. The handle and, I am sure, part of the shell are indeed made of plastic. However, it does have a beautiful aluminum finish that would convince anyone that it is nearly 100% metal. The inside is finely upholstered in quality materials. No "made in china" tags to remove or cheap-looking stitching. The latches flip open with a slick sounding "clack" and close very confidently.It will hold almost any sort of electronics, but larger laptops will have to go without their power cables. Regular to small laptops should be fine. But then, this isn't the case that you carry a large laptop in. It's the type of case you bring to meetings with all of your documents and smaller portable electronics. It wasn't designed for lugging around loads of stuff. And for this purpose of filling it up with papers, notes, and maybe the last-minute addition of a laptop or portable device, it shines and looks good doing it.The 83 will be my personal go-to case until I can afford a higher-end briefcase later down the road. Even then, I've seen Vanguard's other cases and I believe that I will go with them again on their Modern line just based off of my experience with this case. I really can't recommend this case enough. It may not be inexpensive and it may have some parts that could have been made of higher-end materials, but it's just a pure, simple, classy looking case for the money.

5Nice Case
By roadwarrior
I've traveled with laptops since the early '90's, all makes and models, many cases. My last case was a alum. Samsonite which after many miles broke a latch. My new laptop is a HP ProBook 4525S with a 15.6" screen which fits in this case like a hand in a glove, & with sufficient breathing room. Don't expect to carry your AC adaptor or full size accessories in this case, but if you're out for more than a day, you've got other luggage with you anyway. Newer laptops are thinner and this slimmer case accomodates nicely. I'm in and out of my laptop 20 times a day, access it while in the case & store it on the floor board or on the car seat. Hard side cases keep me from dumping the laptop out on the pavement if the softside top isn't zipped when I grab the handle and go. (Don't understand why they don't fit softside cases with two handles.) Fit and finish on this case is beautiful, sturdy with substantial latches which are easily opened and closed. Couldn't ask for more.
