Mobile Edge TPS Backpack 16-Inch PC/17-Inch MacBook Pro

That's right, I liked this laptop backpack/case so much that when the first one was stolen last month, I bought an identical replacement. I'm a 66-year old woman who went back to grad school last year and realized that I needed something other than the canvas bookbag we used "back in the day." For one thing, we didn't have laptops forty-five years ago and nobody used a backpack except for camping & hiking. So not only was I looking for something functional, but also something "like the other kids had." But my tastes have changed a little, too, over the years, and I wanted something unique, sophisticated, comfortable. I searched the Internet long & hard before settling on this case (the act of shopping is recreational for me).

This model had everything I wanted: a few pockets for miscellaneous stuff, a dedicated one for discs, good padding in the main compartment, space for a couple of books, too (so good design). And, it was very good-looking: thinner profile than standard backpacks (doesn't knock over people when you squeeze by -or look clunky); made of charcoal herringbone fabric with pink pin-stripes, trimmed with black patent (tasteful, sophisticated, dirt won't show), really comfortable straps and balance. An added hand-carry handle on the top so it can be carried like an attache case was a bonus. The water bottle pocket zips out when needed, but doesn't show when it's not in use (sleek). Not heavy.

All this and priced under $75? Obviously, I snapped it up.

This one and its stolen twin have worn extremely well over 2 years of use -in fact, virtually no signs of wear at all. Not only does it work, I can't count how many compliments I've gotten on it. If someone tried to steal this one, I would hunt him down like a dog.

I bought this backpack because I found that carrying my work laptop in a shoulderbag briefcase was causing me huge shoulder problems. This backback is well designed it holds my 7-lb 17" monitor laptop and I sometimes wonder if the laptop is even in there it's so comfortable! The straps are a bit widely placed, so if you have narrow shoulders it might be hard to use they are also made of typical backpack material and if you are wearing a tank top you might get a bit of rubbing on your shoulders where the strap touches your skin.

The backpack has one large padded pocket that holds your laptop and that has easy access through a top zipper (that goes all the way down the sides), and then another full length pocked under the "flap" that gets held in place by the small silver buckle you can put a few files or papers in here (I wouldn't plan on putting in full file in here). There is then also a smaller pocket in this area for your phone, mp3 player, pens, mouse, wallet. The bottom pocket is easily accessible and holds all of my computer cords.

It also has a water bottle pocket that can be zipped and hidden away. The pocket is a good concept but is too short for most water bottles you need to plan on only carrying a short or small bottle.

The backpack is also cute I get compliments on it every time I use it, and get asked where I got it every time I use it.

Positives: professional looking and holds my laptop, billfold, etc.

Works much better than my old side shoulder laptop bag that was killing my shoulder.

I regularly walk and ride the bus to work so I needed a comfortable yet professional looking backpack.

I would like it if it came in a slightly smaller size.

I needed a new slim backpack with tons of pockets but a thin design. This bag is great and I've gotten tons of compliments on how it looks. I did cut off the little brand tag on the front though. The straps are comfortable and the back is padded too!
