Brand: Wacom
Binding: Electronics
Features: What a piece of ... You get the idea [Posted on 2008-03-01]
This bag is not worth the material it is made from. I could have made a better bag than this. DO NOT BUY THIS BAG. It's not even great for protective purposes as it puts constant stress on the cable if you have a wired 6x8 tablet. There's no room for the mouse or the pen holder and the simple divider in the center does nothing for organization. A simple elastic loop is all that holds the tablet pen in place. This loop only holds the pen if you work it in a bit too which causes the rubber grip on the pen to slide a bit and obstruct the buttons on the pen the next time you use it. This is NOT a travel bag, it's a "good thing I bought this bag so I can store my tablet" bag. But we all know, we never store our tablets.
Not as advertised [Posted on 2008-04-30]
I didn't read all the reviews before purchase, and thought that the bag actually had handles as stated. It says there is room for all the accessories, but there isn't really. The stretchy material will accommodate the other things, but they stick out of the bag awkwardly. And no handles to carry it! I'm disappointed.
Not the same product [Posted on 2008-06-29]
The product that has arrived is not the same as shown. The one that cames to me is without handles. So, to carry the tablet... forget it. Also, it is not cheap as the product that it's made with. sorry. i really don't recommend this "travel" bag.
A Comparison of Wacom 6x8 Bags [Posted on 2008-07-25]
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R12921XMWYFZIG Although this review is not about this particular bag, I think it is very relevant and useful for other seekers of a bag for their Wacom tablet. This is my first video review so it may be a bit long and all over the place... Since I took some time to research all of these bags, I figured it save others a lot of time and hassle for others who are in the same boat as me. Below are the bags I reviewed in the video:
- Case Logic SPS-13 13.3-inch Neoprene MacBook Shuttle (Silver): I couldn't find the 15.4" bag on Amazon, so this was the closest I could get. If you decide to get this bag, don't forget to get the 15.4 one and not the 13.3 I've linked! Dimensions according to eBags: 14" x 10" x 1"
- Built NY Laptop Portfolio Case - Black: In the video, I said I was probably going to get this, but after looking it over some more, I didn't like how unstructured the handles were. For example, if you were to put heavier items in the bag with your tablet and grab it by the handles, the handles would make the bag more elongated due to its construction. So I've provided a couple more bags I'm looking into below that I actually might get over this bag. Dimensions according to eBags: 14.75" x 14.5" x 0.5"
- Pacific Outdoor Equipment Y-FY I Computer Sleeve: This is not the exact bag I have in the video, but I couldn't find the one I had. The model number in the video is Y-FY 2. This case might be smaller, which might fit better, but since there are no dimensions given, I'm not sure how big this FY 1 bag is. Dimensions according to eBags: 13.75" x 10.75" x 1.5".
Two other bags not in this video which I am considering:
- Casauri 12-inch Small Envelope Notebook Computer Case ( Purple ): The colors available for this bag are ugly, imo, but it has all the features that I wanted - handles, outside zippered compartment, and padding (according to websites), so I am waiting to see if this turns out to be the one! (Update: This bag turned out to not fit the tablet well. It was slightly too small, but very nicely padded compared to the other thin bags. Unfortunately, though, I will have to return this one, as well.)
- eBags unXpected Laptop Porter: Seems to be a bit thicker, but like the Casauri bag, has a lot of the things I wanted in a bag! (Update: This bag turned out to be the winner amongst all of the bags. It has about the thickness of the Built NY bag, but with better handles and 2 outside sections [one side buttoned, the other side zippered]. I like the extra storage space on both sides, the thinness, handles, color, and slight padding. I might get a little bit of foam to slide into the bag for extra protection, but other than that, I would highly recommend this bag if you're looking for what I'm looking for!
This quest to find an uber bag for my Wacom tablet has my boyfriend looking at me oddly, but I hope this review has helped others out there who are a bit obsessive/picky about finding the right bag! As a tip, I found looking for cases for the 15.4 MacBook was perfect for my 6x8 Intuos3 tablet, so if these bags don't interest you, try doing a search for that MacBook and you might find some other bags.
If you have any questions or comments, feel free to comment and I'll try to answer as best I can. :)
FALSE ADVERTISING! NO HANDLES! It's a sleeve, not a "Travel Bag" [Posted on 2008-07-25]
I was very upset when I got this product home to see that it wasn't anywhere near what I had ordered. I was positive that a company like Wacom would make other good products and wouldn't falsely advertise, but as much as the image they chose to sell the bag with obviously has handles, It ACTUALLY has NO handles, which is why I purchased it in the first place. The material also isn't very strong, so look somewhere else for your Wacom tablet protection.INTUOS3 6X8 Travel Bag
