Belkin F8N157-001 Quilted Hard Drive Case 2.5" Pitch Black

I'm a designer and really particular. I was drawn to this case because of it's simplicity, matte color and being familiar with Belkin products. This case would have been perfect for my 1TB WD My Passport Studio, but unfortunately the manufacturing standards must have been very poor and the case is sewn a bit lopsided. Because I am the way I am, asymmetrical things drive me crazy and this case was very asymmetrical, especially when zippered shut with the cable and hard drive inside. It was a bummer because the stock photos show this perfect oven mitt looking case but it's not an accurate representation. Aside from the asymmetricity (if that's a word), another thing to note is the zipper. Unlike most hard drive cases out there that unzip to allow all 4 corners of the case to open, this case unzips half way allowing only 2 corners, so it's more like a coin purse which makes getting the hard drive in and out a bit tricky. Not a big deal but worth mentioning. The zipper also is under a flap of fabric, like on a jacket so it easily gets caught. And finally, it's a tight fit. If you include the USB or Firewire cable inside (there is a mesh pocket for it), it gets a little bulky. I ordered a few cases at once and ended up keeping the CaseCrown. I thought it was best overall. Check that review if you're interested.

I was looking for a safe case for my Seagate FreeAgent portable hard drive, and one that was a little more stylish than the ones I had seen elsewhere. This one, with its quilted nylon exterior, fits the bill. There's a sleeve for the hard drive on one side, and a pouch for the USB cord on the other. Everything fits snugly.
