Case Logic XN Messenger Bag

For the price, it's well constructed. But there's a serious design flaw. This bag is made to carry larger laptops. Larger laptops add weight. The hoops that hold the bag's straps ALWAYS turn. Making the bag a bit awkward and uncomfortable to use with a heavier load. It also causes wrinkling, which isn't cute.

Also the flap's front pocket... what were they thinking? What am I suppose to put in there? Everything I stick in it (mp3, cell phone, comb, sticky notes, etc.) slides up towards the handle when I lay my bag down, but the items do not slide back down when the bag is vertical. So, now you've got items tucked up towards the top zipper tab. Strange design thinking there, as the bottom of that compartment actually has a wedge of fabric, implying the compartment's use as a vertical pocket, not horizontal.

A plus for the matching flashdrive cover and key hook thing-a-mah-bob as well. Theres also an added pocket on the back of the bag, really great for folders and sheets of paper you don't want crushed. The bag's dividers are alright for schedulers and the like (nothing bulky). The front pockets will NOT hold a laptop charger comfortably. Not a PC sized one, at least(the largest front pocket is about the size of an average 1/2 fold wallet).

I bought the dark brown. It's not as reddish as the photos seem to show. It's more like the color of a milk chocolate Hershey's bar. The straps are charcoal grey, and are adjustable on either side of the shoulder pad. And I've never had a problem with the adjustments slipping, they hold tightly, even with a ton of weight.

I bought this bag for my husband for his Dell laptop. It is great! It holds the computer and so much more. There are plenty of compartments for his work items. I also like that the inside is a different color so that it is easier to find things. Also, it is so much cheaper here than at the Dell store!

two major problems:

1. after less than 6 months, one of the clips you use to fasten the front flap pulled right out of the fabric, and this bag was not put thru heavy use

2. the shoulder strap is junk. if you put even a few books in the bag, it's enough weight to consistent pull the strap to its greatest length, because the adjustable apparatus is so cheaply made it won't hold. therefore, the bag is always down around your knees. looks pretty stupid, and very cumbersom.

it looks nice when you get it, has nice pockets, etc, but the two problems i describe above render it uselss. do not buy this product.

The biggest issue I have with this bag is the strap. It CONSTANTLY kinks and twists. Especially where it's connected to the bag. The metal holder twists and gets all kinked. I've had this bag for 1 month now and I hate it.
