I’m glad it helped! Thanks for the feedback.

You sold me not only on the Tucano Work_Out, but on the vertical orientation. I’m a caregiver and was looking for something that would allow me to gracefully carry my 13″ Air when pushing a wheelchair and doing the other things that a caregiver does. The Work_Out Vertical is perfect. It stays out of the way and is secure. Having the backpack option is a great feature. I have a huge Kensington case from my Lombard days that works great when I have a lot to schlep, as was the case when your review came out, or am sitting in hospital or waiting room for hours (there’s something to be said for a big case that sits upright on its own). But for routine “take it with you in case you need it” days or “I’m just uncomfortable leaving it behind” days, Tucano has hit a home-rum with their Work_Out Vertical. I’m equally pleased with the appearance and workmanship.

Thank-you for your timely and thorough review. If not for you, I might still be searching, might have settled for second best, or something overly expensive 😀
