Why did your laptop get the boot instead of being stored under the seat in front of you? Bulkhead?

Secondly, was it in a regular laptop bag or some kind of other setup? UA's liability page says this:

United is not liable for the destruction, loss or damage of any baggage caused by:
  • Inherent defect of baggage
  • Poor quality of baggage
  • Baggage being over-packed
  • Ordinary wear and tear
Makes me think a regular laptop bag may be considered "poor quality" given that it's not designed to be checked to begin with...
