Let's face it, these bags are $$Expensive$$. So expensive that I lied to my wife about the exorbitant amount of money that I paid for it. However, it saved me money in the end. Because I was moving I needed to be 100 percent sure that I would see my computer on the other side. My mac was packed with two tons of books and furniture in a 5*6*8 box and my computer came out fine! So, if you have an extreme case like mine, do it! It is cheaper than paying for another mac!Bought the case to protect my iMac on a trip to Asia and have used it since for another flight from LA to Chicago. Both times, I checked the bag as luggage. It works great, and I didn't have to pay a heavy-bag fee. It's a really expensive case, but if your computer is worth it, so is this.Be prepared to pay even more to travel. I have to fly with my iMacs. The larger glass screen presents an obvious challenge. Tenba has a great reputation so I went all out on this case. Note that this case is slightly larger than the dimensions on this page, which may be for the 24" iMac case. Most US airlines have a limit of 62 inches total, and 50 lbs without charging extra. Delta Airlines measured this out at 68 inches and charges an additional $150.00 to check the over-size bag. The bag with computer only no keyboard, weighs exactly 50 lbs. If their scales are off, you may have to pay extra for over weight too. Southwest airlines states the same but didn't care about charging for anything and just did it.
I don't see any way around it. The case is only slightly larger than the original box. maybe Tenba could keep the size restrictions in mind and shave a bit off the padding, but the computer arrives intact which is the most important thing. The ilugger is great for getting around town or car travel, but isn't sturdy enough for checked luggage.The MSRP direct from the manufactures own web site is not what is listed. Amazon is still cheaper, but only $30cheaper not over $300 as claimed...
This is a great case though. I am getting a second one...Hello one and all...This product is certainly tough enough to protect it's precious cargo but the lack of a suitable handle to "tow" this monster around makes this product marginal as a viable piece of transport equipment. the word "exhausting" comes to mind every time I think about hauling my iMac to computer classes or in for some tweaking. It's almost easier to tuck that 27" critter under arm and head for town...sorry guys but for a company advocating they might be the best thing since bottled beer, you fall way short of the mark in thoughtful design. Had you made it an option, that would have at least given someone like me the choice of having the handle or not. FYI, I bought this product on the manufacturers reputation and paid several hundred dollars to assure my being pleased with my choice. If I were to do this again, I would have bought the nice lady's unit for less than $200.00 and had the benefit of a real transportable unit. Spending more for less has always been my problem but, I am learning.
