Digital camera reviews of Case Logic PHDC-1 Small EVA External Hard Drive Case (Blue)
Digital camera Review: Perfect for my WD Passport Elite
Summary: 5 Stars
This product was exactly as described and works perfect with my WD Passport. I like the elastic straps inside that keep everything in place, plus the blue/yellow combo is pretty good looking.Digital camera Review: Protects and serves
Summary: 5 Stars
Keeps you drive safer (it's not water proof) and has room for cables and other stuff.Digital camera Review: Size of Case Mis-stated
Summary: 1 Stars
CaseLogic advertises this as 'Fits devices: 6" x 3.75" x 1.25"' with a 'Size: 6.25" x 4.5" x 1.7"' on their website. This is quite an error. We purchased one from Amazon.com but the interior space is only 5.3" x 3.4". So our hard drive did not quite fit. Since this is a hard case, that made the case useless for us. So be warned about this error on the CaseLogic website. Amazon.com kindly refunded our money.
Later addition: Amazon.com does sell hard case that fits larger portable hard drives and also has the exact inside dimensions advertised on their website. This is the ACI HandStands 16804 - Hard case for GPS / hard disk drive / camera - blue which you will see I rated with five stars.
Digital camera Review: Surprised
Summary: 4 Stars
I was surprised this product was not packaged differently. It came in a nonpadded envelope which offered little protection; however, it did arrive in good shape thankfully.Digital camera Review: Versatile and good quality
Summary: 4 Stars
I got this case in the blue color with a contrasting bright yellow interior. The material is all-around high-quality, and the case offers excellent protection for my external hard drive(s).
Since this is a universal drive case it cannot be a perfect fit for every portable hard drive out there. I own several different-size drives and here is how they fit:
- First generation WD Passport (silver colored, blueish rubberized bottom, Western Digital 80 GB Passport 2.5-inch External Hard Drive) fits perfectly. I suspect that this case was originally made for these drives.
- Newer WD Passport (various colors, non-rubberized bottom, WD Passport Portable WDXMSB1600 - Hard drive - 160 GB - external - 2.5" - Hi-Speed USB - 5400 rpm - buffer: 2 MB - metallic red): The case is too long and too wide, but because of the elasticized strap the drive still fits ok provided you don't stretch the strap by putting in thicker items before using it with this type of drive.
- Seagate FreeAgent Go (Seagate FreeAgent Go 160 GB USB External Hard Drive ST901603FGA1E1-RK: The drive is a tiny bit wide. On the other hand, because it is such a snug fit width-wise, the drive also doesn't slide around in the case. And the case still can be zipped shut with this drive.
If one doesn't have cables etc. to store in the accessory pocket in the other half of the case, this pocket can double as storage space for another drive, the case still zips shut, even with two of the largest of the above-mentioned drives in it.
I recommend this case to anyone looking for high-quality protection for portable hard drives and other electronics, such as PDAs or MP3 players.
