Guide Review - Kensington Contour Roller Case

I'm notorious for taking my laptop and other mobile gear everywhere I go, and often I've had to make the decision to leave an item behind. With the Kensington Contour Roller Case, I could pack all my mobile gear, in addition to other items for a weekend away.

Even with the weight of my older laptop, various accessories, files and personal items, I wasn't bogged down by the weight. Whether I used the telescopic handle, shoulder strap or carrying handles - the weight was balanced and no sore back. The handle is curved, so you aren't "dragging" the case along but using it's own weight to move it as the case sits upright rather than tipping forward.

The telecopic handle has it's own pouch which can be zippered shut and helps keep the handle clean and out of the way when not in use. As tall as my husband is, the telescopic handle was long enough that he didn't feel any discomfort. Going up and down stairs wasn't difficult either - tuck the handle away and use the shoulder strap. The contoured shape ensures that the case won't swing and sway or strain your back.

A sturdy case made of 1680 Denier Ballistic nylon it is water repellant, resistant to tears, punctures and abrasions. This strength is useful when traveling as you don't always get to choose your traveling companions or avoidingp objects when moving quickly.

This is an ideal roller case for mobile professionals, it can be especially useful in airports or train stations.
