Amazon Basics Small Hard Shell Portable External Hard Drive Carrying Case with Mesh Pocket for My Passport Essential, Black

I have multiple external hard-drives, some of them are bulky and are meant to keep a backup at home. Some of them are smaller ones which I use to carry my photos and other files around with me while I am traveling or transporting data between home and office. Two of them are small 1TB and 2TB USB3.0 hard-drives. I wanted to buy a case for them. After considering a lot of hard and soft cases from various sellers, I stumbled upon this and thought of giving it a try. And it was a wise decision !!! As I always say, Amazon Basics items are equivalent (if not better) to quality in other comparable items from different manufacturers and yet they are available at almost half the price (and sometimes even lesser than that). I have many of the Amazon Basics items and I am not unhappy with any of them. And this is no exception. A few good things: 1. The exterior is pretty hard and you can rest assured that your HDD will be protected even if this case is buried deep down in the luggage. 2. Soft interior makes sure that the HDD stays safe even if there is some pressure on it from other items in the luggage. 3. This case is made for HDD which do not require an external power because there is not much space inside for any adapter. However, there is a mesh pocket which can be used to store the USB cod safely. 4.Even if its hard and durable, the case is pretty light-weight and wont ad much weight to your luggage. 5. Although its advertised for Western Digital My Passport but it can be used to store other USB powered HDDs which are up to 5 inches in dimension. I have one of these for my Seagate 1 TB HDD. 6. It also has an elastic band to hold the HDD securely in the case while in use. 7. The zipper is of very good quality and will not fail on you anytime soon. Cons: The only disadvantage I can think of this case is that there is none. If I have to count one, I would say it would have been better had they made a small zipper pocket inside the case (which would be of great use to photographers like me to also store their memory cards in it while on a trip. All in all, this is an excellent case at excellent price. AMAZONBASICS DOES IT AGAIN !!!!!

I've really gotten to like the Amazon Basics line of peripherals. As a quick example we needed a few HDMI cables for different applications, I have always in the past chosen Monster Cables although have always taken that micro thin gold plating as more of marketing ploy than a true benefit albeit perhaps for the most die hard audiophile. The Monster Cables in the size we needed are sold at places like Best Buy between $69 and $89 - Amazon Basics cables a mere $9.99, it was a no brainer. The cables are excellent, not a single problem and no compromise in audio or video whatsoever. This case is no exception - just perfect for you're Passport. I ordered the 2 TB in black and saw this case pop up on the lower part of the buy page and figured we;;, that makes sense - I hadn't thought about a case. The case itself fits the My Passport perfectly and it's surprisingly well made. A tight outer Nylon shell that looks and feels like Neoprene, sturdy coasted zipper with an Amazon Logo rubber pull and close tab is a nice little touch. Inside there's plenty of room for room the Passport which is held securely in place by a wide elastic easy to slide into band - a mesh pocket on the other holds your USB cable and a few other small items if you need it too. Remember the case is not a "Hard Shell" but it's robust enough to protect your Passport, the cable and a few other items from both the elements and with fingers crossed an unfortunate drop. It's great for when your on the run, need to grab your grab you external drive in hurry and go! It's fit in oversized pockets and I would imagine any briefcase, shoulder bag or Lap Top carrying bag with ease. As for the Amazon Basics Packaging - I'm a fan. Less crap in our landfills, easy to open and you still get every single item and all instructions, paper - works etc that you would in retail packaging. What is more, to those of you who can emphasis with how much I despise those hermetically sealed heavy duty clamshell packages which you need the "JAWS OF LIFE" to one get open and two - not cut yourself this is major improvement. Great Case, Under 6 bucks! PRIME membership gives you two day free shipping, simply a terrific value.

The AmazonBasics Small Hard Shell Carrying Case is quite the bargain! I purchased a Western Digital 2TB MyPassport External Hard Drive. I'm willing to pay more for the HD than for what's housing it. The AmazonBasics case was extremely well-priced, and it was made specifically for holding the HD that I was getting. Into my virtual cart it went. I couldn't be happier with this case! If you look at my photos, you'll see that I was easily able to place my HD in one side of the case. It is securely held in by a piece of elastic that reaches from side to side. The elastic measures about 4" across and 1" wide. My HD did not have to be "forced" in; it sits recessed into the side of the case without protruding. On the other half of the case there is a mesh pocket measuring roughly 4" across and 4" top to bottom. I had no problem fitting my HD's user manual, the cable, AND 3 USB flash drives inside this pocket. All of these things fit inside the AmazonBasics case. The case holds everything in place, and is not "over-filled" or hard to close. This case features a zip around closure. I was a bit concerned with this, because initially, the zipper felt a bit tight. I felt that it would snap right off if I didn't exercise some caution. I suggest that you be careful not to pull too hard on the zipper, or try to carry more inside of it than it is intended for. After some time, the rigidity I felt from the zipper began to soften, and now it is perfect. I guess it merely needed to be "worked-in" a little, like a pair of shoes. This AmazonBasics case is not waterproof. It is not bulletproof. It probably won't withstand being in a blast zone, or being tossed from a trans-Atlantic airplane, mid-flight. This case is not DB Cooper. It's implied that you, the consumer, take CARE of your tech and treat it carefully to BEGIN with. You should treat your HD and other tech as though it were not encased, even though it is. With this in mind, the AmazonBasics case is very affordable, and if used mindfully, will protect your HD without a hitch.

I purchase the Amazon Basics External Hard Drive Portable Carrying Case and I've got to say, it's been a game changer. The compact design makes it a breeze to tote around, yet it’s roomy enough to snugly fit my hard drive along with all the necessary cables. No more hassle of managing multiple pouches! What really stands out is its robustness. This case is built tough and has been a reliable shield against everyday bumps and knocks. While it’s sturdy and functional, the style aspect is a bit on the backseat. The aesthetic is basic and may not catch your eye at first glance. But, let’s be honest, it’s the protection it offers that really counts and on that front, it scores big time. All in all, if you are on the lookout for a reliable, practical, and affordable carrying case for your hard drive, this Amazon Basics case is a worthy contender. It may not win a beauty contest, but it surely will keep your data safe and sound. And at the end of the day, that’s what truly matters. I highly recommend this case. It's affordable and you'll be happy with this purchase as it really gives your hard drive the protection it needs.

I use a WD Elements 4TB HDD as a portable backup drive which goes home with me every night and returns to the office in the morning. This is a fairly hard case, one might categorize it as a rigid case but that is splitting hairs. This case looks to be made of a thin plastic shell covered by woven nylon fabric, a good zipper with a 1-1/8" pull for the zipper, branded with "Amazon Basics" logo. The interior is a thin orange fabric on one side with 7/8" wide black elastic band at midpoint to hold a HDD and a mesh pocket sewn into the opposite side, which is about 3/4 of the height and can easily hold a cable, several USB sticks, or other small items. The pocket is not large enough to hold another WD Elements HDD, it is too snug. The Elements HDD measures about 3-1/4" X 4-3/8" X 3/4" thick. If you had a thinner HDD you may be able to fit it into the pocketed side. The hinge is fabric and looks like it would take a lot of wear, in fact, the case is well made and would take a lot of wear. BUT, there is no padding in this case, a shame because it would have made this much more useful. I deducted 1 star for no padding, however, if that isn't important to you then this would be a 5 star case. The HDD is held very snugly by the elastic band on one side of the case. There is about 1/4" of space in the width and 3/4" of space in the length around the HDD when in the case. I can't measure the thickness left but can push on the face and get some give so you could conceivably have a thicker HDD, though the elastic band is already quite wide. I use this to simply carry the HDD in my briefcase to and from my office so I have an off site backup. If I drop the case there is no padding to absorb any shock to the contents. I would not recommend using this by itself as a drop could damage the contents. This was purchased to replace a Western Digital branded soft neoprene case I've had for about 10 years that is wearing out. This case would have been stellar had it had a cushioning system like a neoprene interior or other material used on so many phone cases, thin but resilient.

I love this case. Feels very sturdy. Very good protection. Does not feel cheap, has a good weight to it. Easy to use. Good grip. Fits the Western Digital My Passport Essential SE External hard drive PERFECTLY!

nice case

There’s also a small mesh pocket for cables or adapters, which adds extra convenience.
