Operating Instructions
Follow these steps to securely store your portable hard drive and accessories.
- Inserting the Hard Drive:
Place your portable hard drive into the main compartment of the case. An interior strap is provided to secure the device in place, preventing movement during transport. Ensure the hard drive fits within the dimensions of 8.5 x 3 x 13.5 cm (3.3 x 1.1 x 5.3 inches).
- Organizing Cords and Small Accessories:
Utilize the interior mesh pocket to store power cords, USB cables, or other small accessories. This helps keep items organized and prevents them from scratching the hard drive.

Maintenance
To maintain the appearance and integrity of your Case Logic QHDC-101 case, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior surface with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth. Allow to air dry completely.
- Storage: Store the case in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the EVA material and fabric.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your hard drive case, consider the following:
- Device Does Not Fit: Ensure your portable hard drive's dimensions do not exceed 8.5 x 3 x 13.5 cm (3.3 x 1.1 x 5.3 inches). This case is designed for 2.5-inch internal hard drives and similarly sized portable devices.
- Zipper Sticking: Check for any fabric or debris caught in the zipper teeth. Gently clear any obstructions. Avoid forcing the zipper.
- Lack of Protection: While the EVA molded exterior provides semi-rigid protection, it is not designed for extreme impacts. Avoid dropping the case from significant heights or placing excessively heavy objects on it.
