Care
Leather Tips:
- If you get caught in the rain, let your bag dry naturally, away from any direct heat source. Stuff the case with paper towels to absorb moisture and help retain the shape of the case.
- Many spots and marks on leather can be cleaned off with a pencil eraser.
- Hairspray helps remove ink and pen marks - just blot with a paper towel.
- Spots can be removed with a solution of 1/2 white vinegar and 1/2 water, which is particularly effective on sugar or alcohol spots.
- Oil and grease can be cleaned off leather with a spray-on spot remover. Rubber cement is another good oil spot remover. Apply over the spot, let dry and then rub off (do not use this treatment on suede).
- Do not use any adhesives or other chemicals on the case as doing so might compromise the leather.
Ballistic Nylon:
Ballistic nylon is wonderful in that the very nature and weave of the material means it is tough, but does not collect dirt and lint. Still, we recommend treating your McKlein case with Scotchgard before use. Should your case become soiled use a soft bristled nylon brush (a toothbrush will work) to lift away loose soil and light stains without pressing the stain in. Blot with a cloth and mild dish detergent. After cleaning reapply Scotchgard to restore protection from water, dirt and stains. On the whole, ballistic nylon is not easily soiled so stain removal shouldn't be a problem.
Wheels:
We recommend you periodically spray WD-40 on axles in order to keep them rolling quietly and smoothly. Do not wheel your case up stairs as the continual impact will shorten the life of the axle.
Telescoping Handle:
Firmly press the button on telescoping handles before pulling up. Do not lift the case off the ground by the telescoping handle. Use the leather handle attached to the case to lift and carry it. The telescoping handle joints may be stiff when you first use the case. Using WD-40 on it every month or so will alleviate any stiffness.
Zippers:
Do not try to zip an overstuffed case. If the zipper sticks, gently use a back and forth motion until the teeth are back on track.

I carry a lot with me, including a planner and a laptop with accessories such as a USB mouse, a security card scanner, power supply, and so on. I travel by air on a regular basis. I needed a bag with lots of room that was tough enough to endure the weight without breaking handles or straps, yet look professional enough to carry into client meetings. This bag did all that, and in that regard I am very pleased. My last two bags were ballastic nylon, and they showed the wear. In fact, I ripped the handle out of both.
My only complaints about this bag are pretty nit picky, honestly. There are pockets in the laptop compartment that you really can't use if you have a laptop in there with the padding sleeve. I tried to keep a USB mouse and power supply in there, and it just didn't work. It really strained the zipper, even though my laptop is relatively small. I eventually found another place for those things, but they jumble together now instead of staying in separate pockets.
My other nit-picky complaint is how the file separators are both somewhat flimsy and connected to both sides of the compartment. That means my planner has to be squeezed in, even if I expand that compartment, and I can't put very much in the paper files area without feeling like I'm straining the zipper.
With all that said, It DOES have room for my laptop accessories, and I CAN get in my planner and paper files without even using the expansion capability. It seems pretty strong, and the handle is far, far better than the last two I owned. I like the fact you can secure the laptop in the sleeve with a velcro strap even if it isn't zipped shut. Overall it is very well designed, and I found room for all my smaller stuff -- from business cards to calculator to checkbook.
As a small point of pride, I am very glad to see this is made in the USA.
The bottom line is this: I couldn't find anything better than this bag for carrying a relatively large load comfortably, and the fact that it looks very professional is a real bonus. I would buy it again.

It's a nice briefcase but it wasn't what I was looking for. I wanted a briefcase that could also store a printer and accesories. I purchased this briefcase because it was expandable. It was the only one that could have possibly worked with the printer. If you know of another one, please let me know. Thanks, Randy Hebert

Comments about Walton Expandable Leather Laptop Case by McKlein USA:
I use the case to carry textbooks, notebooks, etc. to and from my residence to my campus office and to the classroom. It seems to be well-built and strong enough to lug around 5-10 pounds of materials. I wish I would have invested in this a long time ago, as I've already gone through two cheaper vinyl cases.
