    Couldn't find it on the CaseLogic website, maybe a superseded model? Bought a couple when I got the 1.5TB drive.

  • cheepwun on 15/05/2013 - 22:06

    Grey is the go for me. Thanks!

    • eug on 15/05/2013 - 22:45

      I'm drowning in black cases so I decided to get the grey as well.

  • alphaomega on 15/05/2013 - 22:30

    Nice find. Thanks.

  • tendliya on 15/05/2013 - 22:33

    Will I be able to use this for yesterday's deal of MSY Western Digital 750 GB portable hard drive?

    • eug on 15/05/2013 - 22:45

      I couldn't tell you for sure, but .. probably.

  • bestkid on 15/05/2013 - 22:44

      The time machine to go back to last year would cost more.

    So I bought a hard drive I don't need, and now I bought a case for the drive I don't need. I thought this site is supposed to help me save money? :)

      Gota come from china… so if not in a hurry would be a good option.

    • eug on 16/05/2013 - 07:23

      Do you realize that's a different case? It's neoprene, looks cheaper, is probably fake WD, looks smaller, and does not have an accessory pouch to store the USB cable in.

    • vandwi on 17/05/2013 - 02:24

      erghhh i bought this before. a huge regret.

      I saw that in-store the other day. It looked a bit cheap and tacky, like something you'd buy from china off ebay.

    • onlinebuyingownz on 16/05/2013 - 08:44

      Ignoring the looks, is it actually good?

      • eug on 16/05/2013 - 10:29

        The Konichiwa one? If you don't mind the look, it should be fine. I'm not sure if there's a pocket for the usb cable though.

        • onlinebuyingownz on 16/05/2013 - 10:31

          Thanks for the help, it's also a good point about the usb cable pocket.
          Does anyone know about whether there is a pocket or not

        • g12345567 on 16/05/2013 - 10:32

          The pocket is internal for the Konichiwa case. It's made from neoprene fabric.

        • eug on 16/05/2013 - 10:38

          Ahh. My old case has an internal pocket. I always have to make sure I store the cable carefully, otherwise the metal plug can rub on the drive and scratch it.

        • MarkB4 on 16/05/2013 - 11:39
          +1

          It is a consideration, the pic on the site looks like it has a pocket but can't really tell. Have a look at links in last post here for a possible solution : https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/70319

          Edit : Just checked and first link only goes to profile. Here's the link : http://stores.ebay.com.au/ilavapple/_i.html?_nkw=dust&submit…

          Hmm I suppose that's one way to solve that problem. That said, I'd much rather have a case that keeps the cable separately, rather than having to remember to put a plastic cap on my usb cable every time I zip the case up.

        • MarkB4 on 16/05/2013 - 13:27
          +1

          So would I. You don't need to remember though, it can be strung to the cable by a loop of fishing line - just another click. The caps come with provision.

        • g12345567 on 16/05/2013 - 14:59

          I have one of these cases. I just place the cable in the internal pocket with the USB plug ends facing towards the bottom of the pocket and have never had a problem with the cable scratching the hard drive case.

  • MarkB4 on 16/05/2013 - 08:43

    Thanks OP. Just what I was looking for, by 2.

    • MarkB4 on 16/05/2013 - 11:37

    Hopefully, Dick's will have enough stock this time.

      That's right, should take it out for a walk once in a while.

      • Mosher on 16/05/2013 - 14:55

        But the dog will want to tag along as well and I only have one leash

          You can get 5m USB cables that can double as a leash. Your dog will be happy, and you can plug your hard drive into the computer in the next room. Because you can.

        • Mosher on 16/05/2013 - 15:10

          The dog will be hapy but the wife won; be as she says I have enough cables around the house

  • Ichigo on 16/05/2013 - 18:01

    Thanks mate, just got Oz-Bargained and got myself a 750GB WD External Hard-Drive yesterday, so getting this with it, would mean I have been Oz-Bargained the Full package.

    Why im saying this, is that I already have an external HD and I also have plenty of storage on my Laptop :P

  • lfak on 16/05/2013 - 19:58

    I ordered 2 this morning. one black and one grey.
    Grey has been shipped on own. the black one is on backorder. Great….I bet they cancel it.

    Mine arrived today (in a HUGE box compared to the size of the case).
    Or rather, it would have arrived if the courier had actually bothered to approach the door and ring the bell.

    I picked it up from the post office.
    It's quite a nice soft case. There is no fastening for the outer pocket, but it should be adequate without your cable falling out in most circumstances. Adequate cushyness. Zip appears well-made and opens enough for you to put the device in, but not so much that it can fall out easily as a longer zip might let it if it were any longer and opened wider. Inner lining has printed caselogic.com motif.

    Should suit the task at hand well.

    Heh, mine came in a big box as well. I guess they're clearing out those boxes.
