Clamshell cases

I've been checking out various clamshell cases, like Targus, Technika, and I've narrowed it down to two I like. They're both selling for the same price in the high street.

This Belkin Clamshell. Belkin : 15.6" Clamshell Business Carry Case

I've not seen one in person yet, but it looks like nice in the pictures with the red velcro'ed divider. I know a shop I might be able to look at one tomorrow.

and

This Port Manhattan II

I like the Port Manhattan and I've seen it in person. Seems very nice quality with a silver/grey interior cloth and imprinted logo in it. I can get the Belkin brand new on ebay considerably cheaper than I can get the Port Manhattan II, which I found on amazon.

Would anyone know or assume Belkin cases to be automatically good quality, perhaps better or same as Port Designs? Would you recommend one over the other, or would you estimate them to be about the same quality and it would come down to aesthetics preference? It's for my silver Dell Vostro 3550.

 

So here's my case. I bought the Belkin, whihc was very nice, but then returned it as it was too small to take the laptop and power supply in the same compartment. I went with an 18" Targus. Really nice quality with red detail here and there. Glad I got so many replies in the thread to help me make my decision.
