Incase - Alloy Messenger Bag in Steele

Incase - Alloy Messenger Bag in SteeleSuper roomy without being TOO big. Lightweight, bag itself weighs almost nothing. Soft area for a laptop up to about 15" screen size, plus nearby slot for any sized tablet (or magazine/book). I have no issue with the strap lock that the other reviewer mentioned, but I do use a macbook air : )

I picked this up because I wanted a smaller messenger bag than my Manhattan Portage bag. As well as something more stylish.

The bag does look really great. The little hoods on the flap snaps are reflective as well.

However there is a major flaw with the bag that makes it annoying to use. There is a cam lock on the left side of the bag to adjust the height of the bag.

IT simply doesn't work. The bag will seem like it's staying put, but if you actually have a laptop in the laptop pocket, it will pull free of the cam lock and suddenly the bag is riding about a foot lower! The 2nd reason why this sucks is that it's on the LEFT side, so when you wear the bag over you right shoulder you have to reach completely around the bag to adjust it. If it was in the left side it would be right at hand.

For a day to day light bag this is fine, but as a laptop bag keep looking.
