Back to School Saving - Walt Disney Minnie Mouse Large Rolling Backpack and One Mickey Sticker Set

WB Tweety Birds Plush Backpack
The zipper's max opening is about 4 1/4 inches -less than the width of a small index card.
Open the zipper and you find a piece of thin but very strong fabric sewn firmly into both sides of the zipper, sealing off the inside irrevocably.
So, I thought, am I missing something? Is there a realistic opening somewhere?
NO.
Cut open the fabric that seals off the inside of the object and you find not the expected support of crumpled paper or the like, but tightly packed dense, springy, synthetic stuffing. Lots of it.
Take out the stuffing and the flimsy "plush" collapses flatter than a plastic grocery bag. The piece that keeps you from getting into the pack is far firmer and stronger than the toy's covering (a lightly napped very thin fabric).
I could barely get my not very large hand through the opening. My 3 year old granddaughter could, or could drop a Lego block into it, but if she did she probably couldn't reach to the bottom of the sack to get it out.
I got this for my husband (a retired college professor and Tweety enthusiast) for a sort of whimsical birthday present, as I have two real backpacks about this size and find them very useful. I can't imagine that this thing would be good for anything, for anyone of any age.
I see nothing in the description that says that this is a stuffed toy that can be carried on the back, that there is no functional opening, or that the object is not intended for use as a backpack in the sense of something to carry things in, as it clearly was not. I can only take this to be deliberate deception. Anyone lives in the West has heard the story of the local "haystack rock" -the huge rock covered thinly with hay and sold to the naive Easterner as a haystack.
Buy this and you can have your very own haystack rock, or should I say Tweety haystack.
Thankful as I am for Amazon's return policies, I'm not sure I'll be able to return this, as I had to mutilate it to find that it was a stuffed toy, not a backpack.
I hope Amazon's description checking people will put this company and this brand on a Red List and check any other objects they may be trying to foist off on trusting Amazon customers against the descriptions.My daughter loves this but the pocket in the head is rather small and hardly fits any of her stuff she tries to put in it. Great otherwise.

ful Unisex Adult Peabody Sling Bag
So, let me say first, that this was what I expected. The bag I received was just fine no poor stitching, etc. The zippers are strong, the design well-considered, canvas material is thick, and the color is vibrant. Another winner from FUL.
These would be my suggestions to FUL for improving the design:
Needs small pockets (just as the description says, there are only 3 pockets). I would have liked more for SD cards, coins, etc. like their backpacks.
Would prefer to have ability to secure headphone cord to sling so the cord isn't loose between the pocket and my ears. Simple velcro would work great.

I purchased the 17 inch bag. The bag looks very nice so im glad about that. Its comfortable and the ipod pocket is a nice addition. NO laptop will fit in there. Also, there is no "elastic water bottle pouch." That was very upsetting. One of the reasons that i purchased this was to use it as a gym bag. Not a good idea... its too small. Im size 8(mens) and my sneakers barely fit. After that, only a shirt fits but no shorts. If you will use it to carry very small things then by all means purchase this bag but other than that; stay away. Also, The size is a lot smaller that what you would think(but thats my fault because the specifications are correct).If you are getting it for that then its 3 stars. But if you will be a tourist somewhere, its a GREAT bag. I went to Euarope for 3 weeks and it worked wonderfully. Perfect for tourism. Not too small nor too big

I bought this pack for a week long stay at Disneyworld and their parks. It's the perfect size for the sunscreen, autograph books, ponchos, etc. 3 different size pockets keep things separated. (4 if you include the strap pouch where we kept the fastpasses) With the sling design, you are able to quickly bring it to the front for access without taking it off. Well made and durable.I bought this bag solely for biking to school with an iPad and a small notebook, and it just barely didn't fit. Kind of frustrating!! But I really wish it would've because I loved the style and the comfort and the color.Wednesday, January 8, 2014

Jansport Odyssey Backpack
Be aware that now and then Jansport will make small design changes to this line. Same overall bag, same model number, but they will change small things from time to time. That is the case here. The bag I received is not the same one shown in the product photos.
My stolen bag was exactly like the photos. But, what I received is a slightly different design. The two main differences are the waist belt, and the zippered pocket height across the top.
This bag just has a strap belt for your waist. Not the padded waist belt with pockets that you see in the product photos. (See my uploaded photos to clarify)
Also, this bag does not have the tapered top like the one in the photo (and my prior bag), rather the pockets are all flush square across the top. I much prefer the tapered look. (See my uploaded photos to clarify)
Other than those differences, it is still the same bag in general. Tons of space. Hydration pouch. Mp3 pouch with headphones out. Main storage with laptop sleeve. Other storage pockets with tons of room. Deep bottle sleeves for large water bottles. Ventilated, comfortable padding on the back and shoulder pads.
Truly a spectacular bag. You will not be sorry. I've always loved them, and will continue to use them, design changes and all.
I will try and add a video review as well... Hope that helps. Thanks for reading!
*** UPDATE ***
I've since learned that the Amazon product photo you see posted is actually the old model number: TTF0 (With the tapered top and padded waist belt)
What you actually receive is the latest model number: TVU6 (With the flush, blocked top, and unpadded waist belt)
Personally, I like the older ones. Unfortunately they are not to be found anywhere. Bummer. Still wonderful packs though.Been doing a ton of research for a backpack that will be a great weekend getaway bag without having to lug around a duffel bag.. The 2400 cubic inches fit so many items, I was impressed! Other backpacks I use are for the gym, 1 for biking, etc... so I wanted a GOTO bag to meet all my demands, light to backpack with, large enough to fit weekend trip clothing, accessories, hats etc.. and one for laptop and school stuff if need be the case... So far, day 1, I put all these items in just the large section: 4 pairs of jeans, 5 t-shirts(nice trendy tees :) ) 2 tanktops, 4 pair undies, 4 pair of socks..2nd big compartment I put sandals, and a toiletry bag that has toothpaste,toothbrushe, moisturizer for body, moisturizer for face, contact solution and case, hairspray and hair texture, razor, floss etc.... in the front compartment I stored my necklaces, watches, earrings(wow I sound like a girl hahahahah) and accessories suchas wallet chain etc... in the front small pocket I stored extra small wallet with cash, id, and paperwork.. the front daisy chain I attached flashlight, 2 trendy hats, and tied 2 pairs of shoes to it as well... THIS THING IS AMAZING!!!!!! STORES A TON OF STUFF, TOUGH LIKE NAILS! AND MULTIPLE USES! I PAID $120 INCLUDING TAX FROM MY LOCAL DICKS SPORTING GOODS.

Bought this backpack for traveling as light as carry on bag for our long trips. We change many planes and distpached bags may be lost/stolen in the way, also to avoid waiting countless and precious time by the airport belt.As I started looking at the backpack I kept founding new useful pockets and zips. All of great quality strong sewing. Even has one with cushoning for the notebook.
I strongly recommend buying it.

Bought this and went over the zippered compartments. There are a LOT more of them than another backpack I have and the layout looks great.I was feeling really good about the bag until I tried it on. Other people have commented on not having a padded waist band, but I can tell right away with a bag this BIG a padded waist band isn't just a convenience, it's a necessity. You get this bag loaded up and wear it for a while and you will miss that padding.
Also I didn't find the shoulder pads comfortable at all, they felt stiff, like they would irritate your shoulders walking with a load. (No haven't actually tried it...just sayin.)
The Biovent shoulder straps and back panel seems like a good idea, but if it's not comfortable, then it's not worth it.
So my suggestion is that you should REALLY try this bag on before you buy one. For some people it might be a deal breaker, I know it is for me.

Update... After carrying it around for a couple of months, I found it to be quite a bit lighter and waterproof compared to my old one... so I am bumping it up to 4 stars. Only took off a star for the lack of waist support which occasionally I need for the heavy stuff I lug around.This is the 4th Jansport Odyssey Backpack we have bought. My brother and I both got one in middle school. The originals were great. My brother's fell apart when the threads of one of the biovent straps unraveled and it opened up. We ordered another one last year, fall 2010, when he went to graduate school but he loved his old bag and kept using it. Mom sewed it up, but gave direct orders to him to come home on the next visit with the new bag. Well, mine looked a bit worn and many of the buckles fell off. So it was time for me to get a replacement too. After surfing around, I returned to this bag because I tend to carry all my textbooks, binders and needed the space. This bag also had some of the best reviews. I think that's where the mistake is. Some of the reviews are OLD. The model has changed. It is a lot cheaper now. The front compartment zipper sliders are smaller and do not zip around smoothly. I hate it when the zipper stalls around the corners. Maybe I have a lemon. Even the little straps attached to the sliders are thinner. The padded waist support is gone. The backpack looks smaller. I like the old cascading design. This one doesn't look as good as the old one.
On a positive note, it is a bit lighter and the last big compartment has some padding now. The material is different. It appears more waterproof.

Aqua-Quest 'The Biker' Waterproof Backpack Dry Bag - 25 L / 1500 cu. in. Charcoal Model
It is 25L, enough to not worry about folding. I love it because it is cheap but offers the same quality than backpack at twice the price.
One negative point: I am 6'1 tall and it might not fit taller guys.As a biker model, I got this backpack, well, for biking. Although the construction and materials quality is pretty good, the design itself is sort of interesting and sometimes challenging.
First the good.
No zippers. Everything closes tight without zippers, just Velcro which means longer usable life.
6 pockets. One is a big, duffellike bag with a smaller compartment on the front. Two side pockets on the backpack and two side pockets on each strap.
Really waterproof. The interior is completely rubberized (not the front pocket).
Now what's keeping me for giving 5 stars to this backpack.
The backpack allows for two states: Empty or semi-full and full. The empty state means you need to wrap to top in a unconventional way, which is not explained anywhere. Or, like I did, I just put two carbine hooks on each end and folded the whole top down.
There are two straps that latch on front of your body. They seem to be sort of high on their location, so the one that is supposed to go on your stomach is actually latching mid-sternum and the top one that is supposed to go on the chest, is actually very close to the neck. If the backpack is full, the one on the neck will choke you.
Not a bad backpack. Seems very durable and efficient at keeping things dry inside. It just takes a while to accept the design and work around it.

The material of the outer shell seems very durable. We'll see how it lasts throughout the years. Water proof bags are notorious for developing holes in "pinch points" where they are constantly rolled. This material seems very durable though. The design is simple, which I like. I love the pockets on the hip straps. The product could benefit from a rubber reinforcement on the outside bottom of the bag, just to protect it from abrasion over time. I would be willing to pay extra for this.Overall very satisfied with this.The material and construction of the bag were basically fine, but to describe this as women's/unisex is totally off.
The straps system will only fit a very petite teenage girl or boy. The chest strap fits almost to the neck and the
hip strap comes nowhere near the hips or even the waist. I'm 5'6" and no amount of adjusting would make it work. Looking back over other reviews, this problem was mentioned but I didn't think it would be this bad. This is getting sent straight back.i use for commuting via bike rain or shine and this bag is perfect. not a drop has made it inside the bag and the 25L model was a great size for what I needed. rides very secure.

Mobile Edge SecurePack - 17.3"
Then I saw the Mobile Edge SecurePack in a PC WORLD print ad. What a lucky break! Although my local stores didn't carry it, I was able to get it through Amazon.com marketplace.
It's rare to find a product that fills a need as elegantly and beautifully as the Secure Pack does.
The elegance is in the way the Secure Pack prevents access to the laptop it contains WITHOUT locks or cables. The backpack can't be opened until it's taken off take it off, then simply reverse the straps over the rear of the pack and unzip it. The "lid" (actually the back) of the pack fans open to about 60 degrees, held open that limited amount by a nylon gusset web on either side. This prevents the laptop sleeve, which is directly attached to the inside of the back/lid, from slamming hard against the ground.
Inside the pack, in addition to the main compartment, there are the laptop sleeve and a second compartment piggybacked together and fanning out to 60 degrees with the same kind of side-gusset webs as the lid/back. The second compartment has a generously-sized, zippered mesh pocket inside, and loops, sleeves, and a small Velcro-flapped pocket outside the better to contain pens, pencils, pads, and other stationery, documents, and extras. The main compartment contains for cable storage two nylon-and-mesh zippered bags (each about the size of a small shaving kit!) with Velcro hook strips on their bottoms; they stick securely to the Velcro loop surface of the main compartment, but are easily detached when needed. In fact, the cable bags are so roomy that I store my webcam and its accessories in one bag, and my laptop power cables, still-camera-battery charger and camera-PC USB connector in the other. With my laptop, a laptop cooling pad, & all those cables stored in the backpack, I STILL have room to shove in a couple of heavy textbooks & zip the pack shut easily!
The SecurePack has two nice extra touches: the CD player pocket (with zipper closure hidden by a forked flap that is in turn held closed by two quick-release buckles along the straps) and the carrying handle that is perfectly set within the yoke of the pack straps (nicely balanced for off-the-shoulders carrying).
All these features, however, mean nothing if the backpack is too uncomfortable to wear for an extended time. After having worn the SecurePack fully loaded for several hours on several occasions, I can confidently say it is the best-balanced backpack I've ever worn: not the best-balanced computer backpack, but simply the BEST-BALANCED backpack of ANY type I've ever used. I don't know how its designers did it, but the fully-loaded SecurePack feels feather-light on my back; all the weight of the load balances beautifully on my hips and doesn't drag me down.
The SecurePack is not a quick-access or compact computer bag, but its name and features make that clear. It is a theft-proof, damage-proof laptop bag at a good price.
To sum up, the SecurePack is a beautifully designed product that fills a long-felt need: how to carry a laptop computer and accessories safely, securely, and without back or shoulder injury. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!I really liked the look of this bag. I had been searching for a nice big bag for my 17" laptop. I saw this bag and liked the look. Thought the feature of not being able to open whill on the back was smart. However, I'm a college student and you don't have room for books when the laptop is in the bag. You barely have room without the laptop. It has a rounded bottom which is not condusive to carrying books. It is akward to get into from the back of the bag. Going from class to class, I have to get in and out of my bag all the time. It was too cumbersome with this bag. Really nice looking big bag though. If all you want is to carry your laptop and a few files this might work. Anything more is just doesn't work. Didn't want to return it. Good looking bag nice and big but not very functional

Okay, this was larger than I thought it would be, so I'm having some qualms about bringing this on the plane, since I usually put my bag under the seat in front of me. I'm a short girl, so this bag pretty much conceals my entire back. But I LOVE it nonetheless. It's sturdy, and actually has a lot of space to carry more than the laptop, my wireless mouse, and the adapter. I'm particularly in love with the fact that you can walk around with this bag and not be afraid that someone's already digging into your things.Read Best Reviews of Mobile Edge SecurePack - 17.3" Here
Great backpack if you're worried about protection.It even fits my monstrous 10 pounder laptop too.
the problem i have with it is that it is actually a little bigger than i thought it was going to be.
Part of the reason for this i believe is because it has a stiff ridge around it
which protects the laptop from minor bumps, but it makes the bag kindof wide.
Also despite it's medium/large-ish appearance, it really cannot hold much extra if my laptop, charger, and mouse are in there already
(given my charger is about the size of a brick).
It really won't hold much more than a 1 inch binder with all my other stuff.
Still, it's a nice bag if you don't need to carry 50 lbs of books, or whathaveyou.I bought this backpack to carry my laptop and a few other items (folders, pens, portable disk, etc.) on my commute to work. I often ride in on my motorcycle, and I wanted a backpack that would be comfortable, secure and protect my laptop. The SecurePack is perfect and meets my needs completely. It's not the largest backpack, and once the laptop, miscellaneous items and my dress pants are in it, it's pretty full. But I can fit everything I need and know it's safe and secure. Construction is also very high quality, and the waist belt keeps the pack nice and secure at highway speeds. I definately recommend the SecurePack for anyone looking for a safe, secure, comfortable laptop backpack.

BBP Bags - Hybrid Hauler Medium Olive
Buy BBP Bags - Hybrid Hauler Medium Olive Now
i own the larger, earlier version of the hampton hauler which i got on closeout. that one is more of a bike bag and has more bells and whistles, but the orange flap makes it just a little too indiscreet for some situations. enter the medium hybrid hauler. it's large enough to hold a netbook + power cable plus a photo insert with a DSLR, 2 lenses and flash. there are two other exterior pockets under the flap and 2 interior pockets, plus the laptop compartment and main compartment. good design, but more bare-bones/basic than more expensive versions of the H/H. the bag will cinch pretty tight for light loads and expand for heavier ones.in addition to students/bike commuters/stealthy travelers, this bag would work well for street photographers--just add the BPP photo insert (which is tops) or a similar one from domke or mountainsmith. you can carry your photo gear to the location on your back, then switch to single-strap when you need to shoot. there's no velcro in the main compartment closure, which is a big plus for photographers trying not to draw attention to themselves.
this is a good medium/small bag. the color is stylish but subdued with that industrial/military/urban look. it's a lot lighter than the larger, more feature-filled H/H but seems just as well-constructed. the connector rings and hooks are all-metal which is an upgrade from the earlier version. the D-rings on front can be used for camera strap, binoculars, carabiner, or to clip one end onto the bag and make the strap shorter in messenger mode. the material is thick nylon which conforms to the shape of the contents.
the cons are that the backpack straps are a little more tighter than the larger bag, which is more of an issue for broad-shouldered people or if you're wearing bulky layers. Also the messenger strap attachment is just as funky as on the other bags. it works, functionally, but the snap which connects the strap yoke to the middle of the bag is exposed. doesnt really get in the way but aesthetically a minus on a bag which is otherwise very clean, simple, and streamlined.
overall, good value for the money and a more versatile option than a Timbuk 2-style messenger bag.

I love this bag. Very comfortable straps and It evens out the weight of everything I'm carrying so I can walk all over New York without my shoulders or back feeling put upon.This bag is sturdy and holds more than I thought it would when I first opened it. My neck/shoulders/back were in pain from carrying a heavy backpack (I am a college student); since I started using this bag my pain has greatly improved. It is easy to switch to a messenger bag when my load is lighter but I mostly use it in backpack mode since I often haul a heavy load. I love the color and the unique styling. It seems like it will hold up well. There are two interior pockets perfect for my waterbottle and snacks, and a couple of zippered compartments that I stash my pens, flashdrive, etc. in. I highly recommend this bag.Friday, June 21, 2013
