ThinkPad Topload case
I found the case to be a bit smaller then expected. I have a T480 which fit great but really no room for the charger and mouse. Quality for price was very good.

Good Value for Price
I bought the ThinkdPad Essential Topload Case along with the purchase of my X1 Carbon 6th Gen laptop computer. I liked the price annd size of this case but I found it to be a bit lacking in padding and protection for an expensive laptop. I returned this case and purchased the Lenovo Professional Laptop Case. The return was easy and simple to complete. The Professional case was a much better value given the additional size and better protection for the laptop.

Really good bag for the price
This is a decent laptop bag. It has plenty of storage and it has a fairly slim form factor. The materials that the bag is made from don't feel premium, but at this price point I don't think that should've been expected. I like the bag overall and am happy with my purchase. It provides adequate protection/padding, so if i dropped it, I wouldn't automatically think my laptop was destroyed. I would purchase this laptop bag again.

Nice case
I have used a Timbuk 2 Messenger case for the past 2 years. I was looking for something less bulky for my Carbon X1. This bag is light and small enough for plane travel. The only issue I have is that it has minimal padding. Nevertheless, it works well for me.

Perfect for my T-480
An attractive well-made case with plenty of room for my laptop, the brick, and any other accessories I need while traveling. The main compartment has a separate padded space for the laptop and another for file folders or documents. The two additional zippered compartments are more than enough to hold my phone, pens, wallet, etc. The case is light weight but sturdy and comes with a shoulder strap that I will probably never use but is good to have.

Slim and Snug
This is not a bag you purchase with the intent of putting many accompanying items along with your laptop. If you want something that is light and meant for a laptop and maybe a notebook and some pencils, this is the bag for you. If you need a text book bag too - go for a backpack or something with more space.
The quality of this product is great and was just what I was looking for. It is a good strong material and it has a smooth interior that won’t scratch your laptop. I bought this for my Lenovo Yoga 730 and it fits snug especially when I use my Lenovo 15 sleeve with it for extra protection. Because this bag is narrow I highly recommend getting a thick sleeve for some cushion. I like it because it is light weight and I am a short person with a short spine and long legs - it’s hard finding a book bag my knees don’t come into contact with let alone a back back that doesn’t sit on my butt even at its tightest setting - and this product is adjustable to the point of a perfect length for my comfort.

Awesome computer case
I received a new Lenova ThinkPad from my employer for work but no case to carry it. A coworker had the same computer with this Lenova case. I googled the case and found the exact same one for my computer on the Lenova site. I love this case. It is so lightweight and has the perfect amount of pockets for storage so you do not ‘over pack’ and make your bag a nuisance to carry. This is he issue I had with my last computer and bag. I would definitely recommend this case and the ThinkPad they are both awesome.

Fair Price
It's a pretty basic and effective bag. Plenty of pockets for the shoulder strap, power cord, etc. There's a slight lack of padding and structure but it by no means feels throwaway cheap. Looks decent enough and so far holds up well. I appreciate the handles come free of an annoying velcro loop. It fits my T480 fine with a little wiggle room but it's secure. Budget bag, I suppose, but decent.

Hug my ThinkPad!
This laptop case is made of good quality, but it doesn't hug my new X1 Carbon like I want to. More padding and a tighter fit would be nice. Overall, the price to quality ratio is above average though. I'm sure it will last and get the job done.

Great bag for a great price
I was looking for a GOOD QUALITY laptop bag with a separated pocket to carry my laptop and charger around so it wouldn't scratch. I looked at other bags that seemed lesser quality - I didn't care about the brand name, and I had expected something name brand to be more expensive - I was wrong! This bag has been perfect for everything. I carry a notepad and some papers behind my laptop as well as the charger, wireless mouse, a couple of pens, etc and everything FITS and I have extra room. Plus the bag is very durable and padded.

Recently purchased by first Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon and was looking for a stylish case that would not break the bank. To my surprise Lenovo offered a great looking bag that met the challenge. I especially liked the black case with red accents to match the ThinkPad color scheme. The only wish is that a more padding was placed in the compartment that stores the laptop.

Excellent Choice for High Performance
Purchased the Lenovo IdeaPad with i7 processor, 12 GB memory, and 256 GB SSD running Windows 10 and Office365. The boot up speed performance is amazing (around 12 seconds) compared to previous laptop experience with traditional HDDs (over a minute). The IdeaPad with 15.6 inch matte display is brilliant, lightweight, easily portable, with excellent battery performance. My wife is the primary user and has been extremely happy with her Lenovo laptop.
