Not the same as the original, very dissapointed,
I’ve had the kensington contour roller for about 3 years. We’ve been everywhere together. 83 countries in fact. I’ve been very impressed with this bag. My ancient bag is a six star bag. Unfortunately, the wheels wore out and some of the stitching was starting to come apart. I’ve loved this bag, so choosing a new one wasn’t going to be a problem. I ordered the ‘exact’ same bag from amazon.
The ‘new’ contour roller is a cheap knock off of the ancient bag. I’m so disappointed. The pictures are all of the ancient bag. First, the zipper tags are some cheap small metal tabs, unlike the originals that were a clean two piece tab. The material is different, to be blunt, it’s cheap, coarse nylon. The older bag had a softer feel, and the use of a simulated leather in key places like around the top handles. The leather has been removed from the top of the bag. Several of the small interior pockets have been removed, these were fantastic for small things like pen drives. The zipped laptop sleeve is no longer removable. The bag smells like ‘China’. If you have ever been to China you know what I’m talking about. It has a ‘tar/oil’ smell. I can smell it now as the bag sits beneath my desk.
Kensington, what happened? This was probably the best rolling laptop bag on the market, now it is a cheap knock off of itself. Change it back and fire the clown that went cheap. I like your products, but feel ‘ripped’ over this one.

|Top notch for Uber Travelers,
I’m a consultant and I spend quite a bit of time banging around between airplanes, rental cars and in and out of buildings. I have no less than 12 different laptop bags at home, from rollers to backpacks and over the shoulders. As you can tell, I have been searching for the right one. I recently bought this one due to the nice looking lightweight handle. Most roller bags look like roller bags. This one looks like a larger over the shoulder bag that has rollers. And that’s exactly what it turned out to be. In fact, I just returned from a vacation where I hade both a Dell 700m and an Apple 12″ PB in the same compartment, along with several other gadgets, accessories and files. Let’s just say it was a working vacaion. It handled it all without a wimper. I was able to carry the bag when need be, roll it through airports and even tuck it UNDER the front seat on 4 different flights. I’m very impressed. Enough so that I ordered the larger overnighter version and the small shuttle for the quick trips. Normally, I’m not a huge fan of Kensington stuff but they sure got this right. Just make sure you look around a bit and get the right pricing.
Update: I agree with other reviewers. I recently bought another one of these and the bag has changed. It is still a pretty excellent bag but not the top notch, virtually perfect bag that I originally bought in 2005 and still have (the above review). On the newer bag, which I bought for my wife, I added Zipquix zipper pulls to make up for the simple, small and slippery metal tabs they now use. I’m now looking on Ebay hoping to score an ancient style bag for a backup to mine, which is still holding up pretty darn well.
I’m not sure I would not recommend the new bag. It is still excellent, just not as excellent. I would probably give it 4 stars now if reviewing it fresh and never having known how excellent they used to be. I reckon some of the other reviewer’s disappointment is dismay over the cheapening of what was once the (arguably) best business roll-around bag in the market.

|More than I’d bargained for,
I’m surprised. Surprised at a high level of quality and functionality for what I consider a very reasonable price.
I had a rolling case that I’d considered pretty decent, but the handles were not sturdy enough. So I started the search for another, eventually looking at well over a dozen. I kept coming back to the Contour Roller, which seemed to offer everything that my previous case had, plus improvements in durability and ease of carry.
It turns out that the Contour Roller is far superior to my previous notebook case. It’s sturdier; the handles are much better, and more sturdily attached; it has a surfeit of pockets inside, including three in the back section for peripherals and addons like a webcam, mouse, and charger. There’s a bottle pocket on the outside, and the handle is long enough for me to pull the case without it creeping up on my heels (I’m 5-11).
I’m a college professor, and need a case for my computer plus class materials (it’s my normal workday “briefcase”). It handles that role extremely well. I needed something to organize class materials, whiteboard markers, pens, calculator, the normal detritus of someone who needs materials handy. This has so many inside pockets I don’t even have them all filled.
I was concerned that my standard-sized laptop (14″) would swim around in the case, which is advertised as being large enough for a 17″ computer. It turns out my computer fits extremely well, but there’s still room for a larger one.
I had wondered if the wheels, which are as wide as can be, would interfere with moving the case around. Not so, as it turns out.
This is a perfect case for me. It rolls, is very simple to carry (whomever designed the handles should get a raise–there are two halves that nest together in an extremely secure arrangement), and the carry-strap contour system is terrific. As a bonus, I feel it protects my computer much better than my previous case.
I haven’t taken it on a trip yet, but it’ll be a fantastic carry-on. There’s plenty of room for a change of clothes plus toiletries, a secure place for my computer, and room for a few books, files, whatever.
At this price, it’s worth every penny, and then some.
