Some reviews stated that the ScanSnap ix500 was a tight fit. Either the manufacturer changed the design, or we have different definitions of "tight." The scanner fits perfectly in the case. It is very easy to insert and remove. Inserting on an angle works for me. Plenty of room to keep both hands on it and place it in gently. There is a tiny bit of wiggle room on the sides. There's also 2 zipper pockets and 3 non-zipper pockets for accessories. Nicely constructed as well.
Others are also complaining that there is not enough room for the accessories. But, the large zippered mesh pocket is plenty big enough for the power adapter and a long USB cable. When closed, those items will sit above the scanner, inside the bag, where there is plenty of vertical space. In fact, there's so much space in that pocket that 3 more power adapters and USB cables can easily fit without hindering the zipping process (read about zipping next). There's room in the back pocket for USB cables and such, too. When you slide the scanner to the front of the bag, there is about 1 inch of space available for items in the rear pocket.
Okay, the lip around the zipper is awkward at first. It makes zipping tougher. The trick is to use your index and middle finger behind the zipper, pushing down a little as you zip forward. It's very easy after doing it this way once or twice. The zipper lip may come in handy during rain storms. It's for the protection of your scanner. They didn't design it this way to make you mad, or did they?
You can put the adjustable strap on your shoulder or over your head, to reduce the fear of dropping half a grand worth of equipment. The bag handle is in a good positioned for a balanced feel, when not using the strap.
The bag could use more padding. I added 1 inch foam to the bottom. This will be changed out for 1/2 inch foam, when acquired.
Overall, it's well worth the money. Consider transporting small pets in this bag when not occupied by your scanner. Please add breathing holes when used for pet travel. Enjoy.

Very impressed
Search no more! This carry case is perfect for my Epson 580W scanner. It’s well made-great high quality, roomy, separate compartment for cords, nice comfortable handle and optional shoulder strap. It even has 5 rubber feet on the bottom. I’m so impressed by the quality and functionality of the carry case. Don’t hesitate, just buy it!
