Otterbox Laptop Case Accessory Kit Review

If you need to protect your laptop, pda, cellphone or almost anything you'll want to check out the line of products from Otterbox , they offer quality, durability and protection from the elements as well. If you've got a rugged lifestyle, or just need good quality protection for your stuff, then Otterbox has got you covered.

I've got, in my opinion, the best laptop case on the market today, at least for protection of my laptop. The Otterbox 7030 Laptop Case protects my laptop from dust, dirt, water, shocks and even from being crushed but there isn't really any space to carry anything else with you but your laptop in the case, there are no pockets or anything like that. Recently Otterbox released an accessory kit for their 7030 Laptop Case, which allows you to now carry pens, pencils, business cards and documents easily inside your Otterbox 7030 laptop case.

It's a two piece kit that attaches with velcro to the inside of the lid of the case, the velcro makes it easy to install and remove if not needed. Having it in two parts is useful as well, you can grab the documents folder section and you've got a nice little carrier for your folders and papers. The second section holds your writing instruments and has a little pocket for business cards, both sections are made of durable nylon so they should last as long as the case. So now, not only will the 7030 case protect your laptop from the rigors of daily life but also your documents as well.

A Better Look at Things

:

The Otterbox 7030 Accessory Kit doesn't come in any fancy packaging, just a clear plastic bag with a cardboard tag on the top that identifies it.

Inside the bag are the two parts of the Accessory Kit, document holder and pen/business card holder. On the back of both are strips of velcro for attaching it to the inside of the lid of the Otterbox 7030 Laptop case.

The document holder expands quite a bit so you can carry quite a bit of stuff if need be.

It's made of nylon so it's very durable and should last for quite some time.

Installation and Testing:

Installation is very easy, just stick it to the lid on the 7030 case and fill it up with your stuff. Very simple, and you can remove it just as easy when you don't need it.

The Accessory Kit seems to stay in place very well once it's attached to the lid so you won't have to worry about having your paperwork scattered about inside of your case.

The main pocket expands quite a bit so you can put quite a bit of things in there as well as documents.

There are two spaces for pens, pencils but you the 'pockets' are elastic so you can fit more than just two if need be, and of course you can stick other things in there as well if one wishes.

The bottom pocket is for business cards, it's elastic as well so you can fit quite a few cards in there, and of course you can put other things in there as well instead of business cards.

There's not much to this product, but it's a well made, simple accessory that adds a whole lot of functionality and usefulness to an already great product.

Summary:

Otterbox makes some of the best accessory cases on the market today, they make durable, tough cases for pretty much any need.

The 7030 case is the best case for your laptop and now it's even better, if that's possible, with the addition of the Accessory Kit. Now you can carry and protect your documents as well as your laptop.

Though, in my opinion, the accessory kit should be a standard part of the 7030 case, but that's not for me to say really…

(EDIT: apparently since I got this for review 2 weeks ago, Otterbox has redesigned their website and product offerings.. The Accessory Kit is now included with the Otterbox 7030 Laptop case , but it's still available as an accessory also.) 

but if you've got the case then I can highly recommend you get the Accessory Kit as well, you'll be glad you did, for the price it's well worth it.

DragonSteelMods gives the Otterbox Laptop Case Accessory Kit a 5 out of 5 score and out Recommended Award as well.
