Western Digital - Passport 250GB External Hard Drive Case - Pink Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Excellent product, even better than I had expected by reading the description and other reviews. It combines the double protection of the hard outer EVA case, which protects against hard, penetrating objects, and a reasonable softer shock-resistant internal layer (about 5 mm or 0.2 inch thick). My Western Digital My Passport Elite fits perfectly in it, without being too loose or too tight (there is a tiny extra space in length, but the fit is so perfect on the sides that the drive won't slide or bounce). The WD My Passport Elite and the Essential are exactly the same size and shape, so this case fits both. The small inner pouch accomodates the USB cable perfectly as well.

This is probably the best choice of protective case for WD My Passport, much better than Amazon's current recommendation for WD My Passport (Case Logic Compact Portable Hard Drive Case). Not only is that other case more expensive, but its reviewers complain that it's too large for My Passport (though good for the older and slightly larger Passport line) and the drive moves and bounces inside it.

Highly recommended! I'm very much satisfied, and since I just bought a second My Passport, I ordered a second case of this model as well.

UPDATE (Aug. 17, 2009): The second case I ordered arrived today. It has two elastic straps to further hold and protect the drive inside - the first one I got didn't have them. While the protection was already great without the straps, and I don't think they were really necessary (at least for My Passport HDDs, which are a near-perfect fit), I think that if anyone still had any doubt about how protective this case is, one can be 110% confident now.
