    Hey folks,

    Got my lappie in a while back and was just wondering how durable these things are. Nothing has happened to it, but what can I expect. How big a bump are these things built to withstand?

    Haven't had any problems with my 1520 yet either. If the 1720 is built basically like the 1520, I don't see any future problems really happening unless I drop it by mistake.

    The only "problem" seems to be the latch. It's not that loose, but you can definitely see it move around.
