does the handle at the back and the pocket where you keep the laptop have a padding in between? Because if the handle bumps the laptop, it would suck.

It only has fabric between the back and the pocket. It comes with a laptop case which fit my larger 15" HP with no problem. It had no problem protecting my laptop during several uses. I had to switch it out after one of my cats decided it didn't like it as well as I did, so I can't speak to the long-term durability of it. But it looks like it would hold up. I'm a pretty clumsy person (have broken numerous laptops) and so far this backpack has been the best investment I've ever made. It's great to travel with.

It is not, but it comes with a separate case for the laptop that fits a 17" laptop just fine.

The interior is not padded or fuzzy, but it has a fabric-like texture. It is such that I do not see how it could scratch the outer surface of a laptop. I am pretty concerned about this sort of thing myself, but I have never been concerned that the interior of this case would scratch.

My husband has a 17.3 laptop which he carries in his without any problem. It doesn't come with padding to protect it though.

Yes it does! Its on the back where a laptop sleeve usually is which made me nervous to breaking, but its heavily padded material.

The pocket that holds the laptop is on both sides as well has a harder liner in the back side for not protection.

The laptop pocket isnt that bad actually. Thinly padded, its really just more of a divider. It's a good bag. I used my on patrol to hokd a laptop, notebooks, and a bunch of misc. gear.

There is an unpadded sleeve in the one of the center sections that should serve well for a tablet. The sides are firm, but not padded. I only use it for my 17" laptop in the section touching the pull handle, but the sleeve I'm talking about does accommodate my 10" tablet which is already in it's own padded leather case. So, is there a removable padded case... no. Is there a separate sleeve to accommodate a tablet in it's own case... yes. Hope that helps.

The laptop pocket has some decent padding at the bottom. That being said... I wouldn't be dropping my macbook into the bag. Overall I am really happy with the bag.

I don't carry my laptop in my bag, but just to see, I put my Sony Vaio (measures from corner to corner at 15 1/2") in the main compartment and it zipped up perfectly fine. I wouldn't say it's protected by any means, as this bag was not designed for that, but it definitely fits perfectly fine. Hope this helps

The laptop I am using it in doesn't have that problem. Perhaps like another answer suggested use a spacer, such as tape, to give it less space to wiggle itself loose or to simply make it more snug in place?

It is. It's kinda thin though. Neg: I've dropped bag on the "corner" and my laptop got a little damaged. Pos: A friend accidentally kicked the bag (the part that goes on against your back where the laptop goes) and the laptop came out unscathed. I would buy it again though.

It has no handle. It's designed for simple protection; not necessarily a briefcase for your laptop. I carry it with my laptop in a backpack or a soft side messenger bag type case.

It has some padding. It is also a very big pack. It will fit a lot of books in addition to the laptop.

I use it for taking my laptop through security and on the plane, and haven't had any damage done to my laptop. I actually find that it's easier to take that laptop out of this bag than it was to take it out of my over-the-shoulder computer bag. I would take care to not throw the bag down on a hard surface (or the floor) if you're setting it down upright, as the bottom of the bag doesn't have any cushion. The back and the front are pretty well padded, but not the base.

Hi,I just got mine and love it and haven't had any discomfort with it; however, there is no cushion on the corners but a rubber lip near the edge (as pictured) so the laptop doesn't slip off. It is made of hard plastic with the cushion underneath for lap comfort.

Yes, there is an additional layer of elastic foam inside that actually touches the laptop. The black case wraps around this foam core. Nice and light and semi-protective. Kind of like a dive suit for your laptop.

No, unfortunately. It's a cover more than a carry case. It's the size of the laptop with no extra room.
