Case Logic Compact Portable Hard Drive Case (Black)

Case Logic Compact Portable Hard Drive Case (Black)







The case is well designed and made. The outer material feels durable, the inner shell soft and well padded. The overall case is well formed and seams look carefully done.

I bought this to be used with the Western Digital Passport II (black) WDXMSxxxx drives (5.1"x3.1"x0.6") and the case is a tad too big for it. The drive has a little too much wiggle room despite the elastic strap inside. I imagine the case will be better fitted for slightly bigger drives, e.g. Seagate's ST9xxxxx1U2-RK.

Technical Details

* Compact case to store or transport smaller portable hard drives
* Slimline design allows case to easily fit into any backpack or briefcase
* External Dimensions - 6.75 x 5 x 1.75 inch
