Baval Hard Case Bag for Western Digital WD 1TB 2TB 3TB 4TB My Passport Elements Portable External Hard Drive Hard USB 3.0

Its already coming apart at the seams

Bought one of these with my last couple purchases of portable hard drives (WD 3TB Black My Passport Portable External Hard Drive - USB 3.0). I travel a lot for work, so I have one of these filled with movies and tv shows to help pass the time on the planes and in hotel rooms. Ive had this case for a little over 8 months and it was really convenient. The drive fit in there nicely, it had compartments for usb cables, and it made me contemplate further purchases for all my nick-knacks that I throw into my gadgets pouch in the backpack I regularly travel with. It brought a level of organization, the likes of which my backpack had never seen before. Twas glorious! (first amazon review, might as well spice it up a bit). That being said, it doesnt do the one thing I bought it for; Shock Resistance. I was handing my case off (3TB hard drive inside) to a co-worker so he could grab some movies for his trip back home, and we dropped it during the hand off; literally, no more than 3 feet since we were both rolling around in desk chairs during the hand off. Im fairly certain it was no where near reaching terminal velocity before hitting the ground in an anticlimactic fashion. I tell him not to worry thats why I bought the case! and he plugs the hard drive into his computer and the drive starts humming. Ive never heard that hard drive hum so loudly and my heart sank faster than the case hit the damn floor. Long and short, the drive is unrecognizable by Windows. Even tried it on an IOS and got the same error. Luckily, there are some places that can recover the data and is somewhat cheap, but this case is a huge let down. Other than being sleek looking and maintaining some semblance of order in terms of packing my bag, it is worthless. You have been warned.

The case holds my hard drive well, though I wish it were a tad more snug. It has some extra room for a second drive when needed. I don’t travel with it, I mostly bought it for protecting it for general use around the house. I rate 4 stars because it works as expected, however I’ve yet to accidentally drop it. If and when I do I will make it a lower or higher rating accordingly and update this review.

Great..much better than photo.

works great for price! lots of space

This case is wonderful. Holds my 4TB My Passport, the cord, two Thumbdrives and a couple cords. This is probably the best value Ive ever come across on Amazon. The case is strong at every angle.

Good quality case. I store a 4TB hard drive, a 250GB Passport, as well as their USB connections. Also has room for 5 Thumb Drives to boot! Love it!
