I took note of another review and bought the brown, not the white version as the fabric is not really 'spongeable' - it is a slightly open, durable weave on the outside, with a smooth, padded interior. A good, space-efficient product idea, as it sits neatly behind a chair in the living room and it is easy to cart about the house if required. The large internal pocket is only about 35cm wide, although it is padded and therefore gives, which means that my 38cm wide laptop doesn't fit with the long edge down - it goes in, but it is too snug and therefore hard to get out (mistake made only once). This is not really a problem as I just stick the laptop in short edge down, but if you want your computer stashed fully inside it, you should be aware that the internal dimension is just 35cm, and therefore if you've got a big laptop, this is not the product for you.
