The color is gorgeous!! And the interior is plush & soft. But because of this I definitely wouldn't leave your laptop on at all while in the case as it did begin overheating my laptop, but with no issues thankfully. It it's a perfect snug fit for my 15.6" hp laptop. And my mouse & charger just does fit in the front pocket WITH my laptop inside. (With no stress on either zipper and no difficulty zipping it, either.)I don't bring my laptop many places, I usually keep it in the case at home to keep dust/drinks/cat off of it lol. But it has fell from chair/ottoman height a few times, with no damage at all. Case is sturdy & feels well made. It comes with a thin foam rectangle inside, which I usually remove, but I actually keep it in it with my laptop just for extra protection so the charger plug, or drops won't scratch the exterior of my laptop, and zippers still zip perfectly with the foam & laptop in the big zipper and mouse & charger in the small zipper. Def work the buy!
