I've bought two of these now (one for work and one for personal use), and they have both been excellent.

Good quality (especially for the price), and fit well with the standard sized My Passport Western Digital hard drives. I also quite like the quirky orange inside.

I put my drive under the elastic band on one side, and the cable and little instructions booklet in the other side, which has a handy mesh keeping it all in place.

I recently bought a Western Digital 2GB My Passport external drive and wanted to buy a case for it,i looked on the net for a suitable one,i read good reviews about the Amazon case so after i checked the size i decided to get the Amazon Basic,i must say i got it delivered next day and i was so pleased i got it,it's well made and good quality plus the WD 2GB fits perfect plus even the usb cable and little user manual fits inside too,all i can say if you got a WD 2GB My passport or another drive same size you won't get a better case than the AmazonBasic,it's a bargain.

A hard case which protects the portable hard drive and keep it in place as well as the cable at a very resonable price.

The zip on the item was poor quality, it would get stuck all the time and I cound't actually do the zip up all the way. I requested a refund and will be purchasing a more expensive version.. you get what you pay for I guess!

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the one for the 2TB passports !!, 7 Feb 2013

I bought a 2Tb Passport Feb 2013, and wanted some protection for the device as the archive on it may have to last quite some years.

I ordered this following a disspaintment with the WD Nomad Rugged Case. (read on)

(Unlike the Nomad) this has a lid that very usefully can easily contain the short USB3-USB2 lead that comes with the Passport in the nylon mesh 'bag' attatched to the lid.
The 2Tb Passport fits extremely well in the lower part and is restained by an easy to access elasticated band that is just the right tension. I thought the 1" width was a nice touch giving grip.

True this is made in China, but, well, its good.
Smooth zip, and I tugged a few bits and they felt like it was not a cheapo rubbish job.

Well I expect you want to know how the 2Tb Passport stands up to being dropped onto concrete floor in this.

No idea. I may not be the brightest button, but someone else can risk errors on their own Passport when they test it ... :-) however the case gave a medium plasticy feel, and just like a case I bought for my iPhone 3GS, I am expecting the thing to bounce it you drop it. I expect everything will be well protected. In terms of pressure, I'm sure it wont take my 12 stone.
Now read this....
I initially ordered (not surprisingly) the WD Nomad Rugged Case for My 2Tb Passport Hard Drive by Western Digital at £12.30, which turns out is a very tough case.
When it arrived, I wasn't too impressed by the simple flip catch, although the WD Nomad Rugged Case looks like it could take a tank on top.

I was therefore very surprised to find that the 2Tb Passport didn't actually fit... well, almost not. You've really got to close it to the point of overkill. It was just too tight around the Passport.

So bottom line. The Nomad should be fine on the slightly thinner 500gb WD but not in my view the 2Tb's.

Hope thats helpful
