Introduction

With the OtterBox 7030 Medium Laptop Case you can protect your Tablet PC or laptop. The OtterBox Laptop Cases come in a 3 different sizes depending on the size of your display. The smaller case is designed for 13" displays, the medium case is for 15" and the large is for 17". I tested the OtterBox 7030 case with the Motion Computing LE1600. The 7030 case will hold a tablet pc or laptop that has a 15" screen. The case is designed to be water resistant, dustproof and drop resistant. The case also comes with a handle so you can use it like a briefcase and a shoulder strap for easy carrying. The unique features of the case are that it has Velcro mounted rubber bumpers that allow you to position them for any size Tablet PC or laptop or accessory you want to carry in the case. Also OtterBox offers an unconditional lifetime guarantee!

Here's an example of the Motion Computing LE1600 with the AC adapter in the OtterBox 7030 laptop case.
It fits comfortably while protecting your Tablet PC!

You can easily use the Tablet PC inside the laptop case while it is open if you remove the Velcro strap holding it in place. I found that the laptop case held the Motion LE1600 in place well. I would recommend that users consider a larger size case than the screen size of their Tablet PC or laptop so they can carry accessories inside the case. Also, if you want to carry paperwork there is room above the Tablet PC however I suggest that you be careful with staples and paperclips so they don't damage the screen.. Overall I think that the OtterBox 7030 laptop case is a good fit for slate and convertible Tablet PCs however users may want to consider a larger case if they want to also pack accessories with their device.
