The foam insert in the Accessory Pouch seems to work best as shock protection for a hard drive. I have a second hard drive for L***x, so it's ideal for me. For anyone concerned to make a good impression, the fit and finish of the Port cases is (so far as I know) second to none. To my eye, the Targus cases look ok, but the Port cases draw comments. -Bruce Stewart bstewart@users.buoy.com http://www.scivis.com
