    Good review, these look like really quality made cases.

    Does anyone know if a Dell 6000 will fit in the smaller Kensington Contour Pro Computer case (model 62340)?

    Nice review Andrew. I also have this bag. I like it since it looks so professional and plus you can't really tell you have a laptop in there.

    ARB,
    I'm assuming you meant the 62350 model (40 is the bag from this review), and yes it does fit. Here is a list of all the bags for the 6000:

    Sorry SG, I did mean 62350. I was just wondering why Kensington would have a Contour Wide Screen bag (62350) which fits a Dell 15" WS and a regular 15" Contour bag (62220) which also fits a WS 15".

    I really don't know why either except maybe to accomodate different brands & styles. They look like the exact same bag to me.

    Well, I just ordered the smaller Kensington Contour 15" Notebook Case 62220, we'll see if it fits the Dell 6000.

    Well I just got my Kensington 62220 Contour 15" notebook case today and it fits the Dell 6000 like a glove (I still don't know why they make the Kensington Wide Screen case). The fit and finish of this bag is really nice. Like its big brother 17", this bag is very well made and has some great pockets and plenty of storage space. It's great looking also and carries nicely, very comfortable.

    So far I really like this case.

    Now if they had only given me a coffee mug holder on the side I'd be totally in love with this bag.

    Hi,
    I have TWO questions:

    Does the Contour for 15" laptops also fits my HP dv4000 (15.4" widescreen), given its dimensions are 14" X 10.5" X 1.5" ? (Oddly enough the Contour for 15.4" laptops is not available in Canada.)

    Also, more generally are Kensington cases/backpacks better quality (for the money) than Targus ones... the latter are mainly sold in Canada at Staples, etc.

    Thanks,
    Keith.
