 - Great for Iomega Ego External Hard DrivesBought this on Amazon to protect my Iomega Ego external hard drive, it fits perfectly - like a glove....great wee case (and drive).....5 stars as it does what it says on the tin! The other people who mark it down because its too big or too small should have looked at the dimensions before buying, is this not the sensible thing to do? I cannot fault this case. Rating: - I was slightly worried by the other reviews........but I have to say I am delighted with these cases, I bought two to protect an old 2.5 inch drive and my new western digital 250 gb pasport drive. The pouch might be slightly bigger than required but there is a band to hold the drive in place and room for a USB cabel on the other side. The case is well made, solid and certainly feels as if it will offer excellent protection to my nice new external hard drive. I am delighted with it. Rating:  - A bit too big for slim portable HDsIt looks nice etc., but this pouch is for "slim" hard drives (HDs) from the past. This is not something you can put in your pocket, as it is too big. There is a pocket inside for a USB cord, but it is also too big. One can put two or three cords in there. Since I myself have a slim HD from Western Digital (WD), I would call it - a pouch for two portable HDs from WD. Besides, HD is NOT held securely, as the pocket is too big for my WD, so HD can wobble in 2 dimensions if a force is applied. There is a stretchable band inside that is supposed to hold HD at the top, but it just only toching it rather preventing HD from falling out than holding it tight. I ended up putting more things in the pouch to use a space inside efficiently and hold the hard drive more tight. It is also tricky to connect HD while it is in the pouch, so you have to take it out. Not the most advanced and handy construction. I understand that one can not make something absolutely universal, for all portable HDs. But if you want something handy, small and secure just for your slim HD from Western Digital, this pouch is not perfect al all. It is just to carry HD + USB cord + accessories in the same place in your backpack. Rating: - "A must for WD Passport owners."This case is the perfect partner for my 250GB WD passport drive and 1.8 metre USB 2.0 cable. It's tough enough to protect it from small drops, being sat on ect... It's also great for housing a Nintendo DS Lite and several games. Rating:  - Inaccurate title but no better options.Very good service and delivery rates; however, the title 'for 1.8" and 2.5" external HDs' is misleading. The dimensions of 2.5" WesternDigital HD are ca. 12.4x7.6cm, whereas the case is effectively 16x10.5cm. So, the gadget is not specific to 2.5" HD, but can be used for it.
