Frequently Asked Questions
Bags and Cases
How do I know if my laptop will fit in your bag?
Our laptop bags are available in a range of sizes. They can often fit laptops from 12” to 17” and many bags can accommodate different laptop sizes due to their multi-fit cradle. Measurements are based on your laptop’s screen size and can be found in the individual product descriptions.
Do the laptop bags have tablet pockets?
Many of our laptop bags feature a dedicated compartment for tablets up to 12.9” that offers specialised protection while in transit. Check the product description to ensure your desired bag has a specified tablet compartment.
Are Targus products shockproof?
We design our bags and cases to offer the ultimate standard in device protection. Many tablet cases feature military-grade drop protection. In addition, many of our bags feature high-density foam padding as part of our SafePort® Air System, which will keep your laptop secure during sudden drops. Bags are also equipped with our DOME Shock Dispersion foam that disperses pressure away from your device and protects your laptop screen. Your devices should be transported with care, but our protection systems provide optimal safety to protect your products against life’s little mishaps.
How do I get the maximum protection for my tablet?
Many of our cases offer military grade 4' drop testing (MIL-STD 810G)* and IP54 Certification Requirements** for dust and water resistance. However, our Rugged collection definitely offers the maximum protection for your device.
*As tested by an independent third party applying MIL-STD-810G, Method 516.6, Procedure IV.
**Meets Ingress Protection Level 54 for dust and water resistance as tested by an independent third party laboratory applying IEC standard TBD 60529.

Yes! Our USB docking stations come with up to five USB ports, and many other models have three or more that can accomodate USB A-2.0 and 3.0 and USB-C.
Do the docking stations have laptop chargers?
A power deliver docking station allows you to charge laptops and peripherals in one convenient location.
