Buy CalPak Element (Orange) Now
The backpack is very well made and extremely durable. I was very impressed too with the size.Its the perfect size for my needs.I believe I made a very good choice when deciding to purchase the Element T-Pole Rolling Backpack.A Guy who knows quality and style when he sees it.Our daughter needed a bigger backpack for first grade so we bought this and she is very happy with it so far. It holds everything she needs and it seems to be built strong to handle all the abuse a first grader can put it through.This is a really nice and sturdy backpack. We previously had another CalPak rolling backpack (the Impactor), but the handle broke after about a month. So we decided to still purchase another CalPak, but different model because we like how it can fit an 18oz water bottle on the side pocket. We couldn't find many rolling backpack models that could accommodate a larger sized water bottle. This particular model (the Element) is much sturdier and the fabric looks clean/bright. The fabric on the Impactor seemed old and the colors dull. The CalPack Element is a great purchase we highly recommend.It fits a lot. Gets heavy though & I was using it to avoid lifting but still had to lift it. It often tips to one side on curb drops. But it's got a lot of space. I only use it on small trips now & may sell it. It fit my big laptop but just barely, plus TONS of other stuff. I never used the backpack part. I like that it stays up when I stop. If you're looking for a quality product it is really well made. Zippers are great & space is shockingly ample. The front pouch is a bit too low so some of those internal features are lost without digging.

Tumi Alpha Bravo Kingsville Deluxe Brief Pack
All in all, it's a Tumi so it is functional, good looking, and will last nearly forever under hard use.
Update 3/16/2013:
Still looks great, and I am still glad I purchased it. In fact I just bought another as a gift.I use this bag to carry my important stuff when I travel, and it is close to perfect.
The laptop sleeve inside is sized to best fit a laptop the size of a MacBook Pro or similar laptop. These days when I travel I carry an UltraBook sized laptop (a Lenovo Yoga 13), and there's plenty of room for that. You could probably squeeze in a thick laptop, but I think it may stress the lining a bit. There is another pouch opposite the laptop sleeve for carrying a tablet or second laptop. I stick my iPad in there.
One surprise I had is that there is no extra padding in the bottom of the laptop sleeve, so you can't slam the bag down hard on ground. It's less of a problem if you laptop uses a SSD hard drive, but for regular "spinning" hard drives, you need to be careful. Tumi should add some gel padding in the bottom of the laptop sleeve in future generations of this bag.
The materials are excellent (as I would expect) and it has survived many trips so far without a hitch. One of my favorite aspects of this bag is that it doesn't balloon outward as you pile in a lot of stuff. Other packs I've owned grow horizontally, sticking out further and further from your back, which is a problem when traveling. This one keeps its shape well. The two wide vertical stripes you see on the front of the bag are made from the same material as a seat belt (it seems to me), so maybe they help to keep the bag from getting misshapen when full. It all looks and works great.
The drink holder pocket (on the right side of the photo) is deep enough to hold a 1 liter SmartWater bottle. If you put a small water bottle in there, it sinks down so low you might forget it's in there.
I recommend this Tumi pack to anyone looking for a great-looking bag that can handle a lot of daily use, while keeping its shape nicely. Well worth the extra money you pay for a Tumi.

Patagonia Chacabuco Pack (Black)
I've been looking for the perfect urban EDC bag for sometime, & then I came across this pack. I love this pack! It has all the right features... organization, pockets, space, durability, looks etc. The one thing I do not like about this pack are the straps. I wish Patagonia would have made them a little more thicker & more comfortable. It was almost a deal breaker for me until I figured out how to break these in.
I would do this the day you receive the pack to get the straps to be comfortable: Fill the bag with anything until it's a little heavier that it would be when you normally carry it around. Buy a wooden suit hanger (any Target or Wal Mart). Hang the pack on the hanger, making sure that the shoulder straps bend where your shoulders would be. Tie the pack down so that it will not slip out of place or slide on the hanger. Let it hang there for a day or two and then it will be ready to go. Makes a world of difference.
With the straps broken in, this is hands down my favorite pack to wear around the city. It can go anywhere from an outdoor festival to a nice restaurant. Perfect!I looked at reviews here and elsewhere for months before I finally replaced a 12 year old EMS bag. Bought the North Face Surge 2. Decent pack but very "stiff" is the only way I can put it. I needed something:
Big enough to take 2 lunches, a change of clothes, a sweater, laptop, cords, kindle and other odds and ends with me to work nearly every day on my 60 mile commute via train bus and subway.
Nice looking enough for the office but rugged and versatile enough to be a hiking day-pack stuffed with everything an over-packer like me can think of.
Comfortable and well balanced to minimize back stress while commuting/hiking.
That protects a laptop very well.
With a waist buckle to shift a lot of the weight to my hips. I know many hate these/think they look dorky. To each their own but it makes a world of difference on the back. I think you can take them off if you want. Me though, I love the waist belt and had a hard time finding a good pack with one.
Check check check and check. Love this bag. Only had it a month so can't speak to longevity but it seems durable, but without the stiffness of some other bags.
It doesn't have the easy airport pocket feature that many bags advertise, but personally I didn't want that as I rarely ever fly and found the extra pocket feature just added bulk and is useless when I'm not travelling with a laptop like on the weekend hiking. The laptop IS very well protected though in the dedicated internal sleeve. Well cushioned on all edges and sides and the bottom of the laptop sleeve is cushioned and "elevated" a bit off the base of the main bag compartment so if you put the bag down hard you're fine. And I dig that when not toting the laptop, the compartment just smooshes flat to allow me to cram more stuff in.
Some people have complained about he straps digging into shoulders or something. Everybody's body is shaped differently but I had zero problems (5-9 guy, average build) and I wear it for hours at a time often overstuffed, and I find the straps very comfortable and the back cushioning is nice as well.
I could see a frequent airport traveller maybe wanting a pack with that easy open sleeve feature but it's not like sliding the laptop out of the sleeve within the main compartment is particularly hard or time consuming.
In sum, highly recommended from someone hard to please with backpacks.
Oh, P.S. you can find this cheaper and in different colors elsewhere online.

I am so impressed I will purchace other Patigonia products in the future.

Mace Group Macally 12" iBook Memory Foam Case - carrying case ( SPONGE12 )
Give Macally "A's" for price (I've seen similar cases costing 3-4 times as much at Apple stores), quality (I love making finger prints and other impressions in the shock-resistant plastic "ooze"), and design (two zippers, a well-placed velcro flap, and a sturdy handle insure secure transporting of your machine).
The foregoing features would satisfy me were it not for this little overachiever's claim that it can be used as a protective covering even while the computer is in its case. Wishful thinking. The 4 corner straps are simply too loose and marginally placed to remain attached to the machine while in use. Feels a bit like trying to maneuver the cutting of a slippery 12" pie in a greased 14" inch tin. May as well remove your iBook from the case once it's reached its destination. The failure of the Macally people to leave a "port-hole" for connecting a power supply is one more argument for letting your iBook out of its cage now and then.
All in all, a prudent purchase, providing you accept the trade-offs.This one is pretty good. It's very compact and very light and provides good cushioining to the notebook. It looks awesome as well. The only downside is the space is exact enough just to fit the notebook, the power supply cannot be put in tha case for this reason.

This case provides plenty of padding without being too bulky. Also, it allows you to use your computer without removing it from the case. Considering the price ($19.99 when I bought it) it is perfect.Read Best Reviews of Mace Group Macally 12" iBook Memory Foam Case - carrying case ( SPONGE12 ) Here
I've had this memory foam case for my iBook for several years now. The case is made of a thick amount of memory foam that protects the screen and battery sides of the laptop very well. However, the zipper, which goes around 3 sides of the laptop, affords little padding. Fortunately, the case is specifically made to fit the iBook perfectly so there is no wiggle room once the laptop is in. However this also means that you have to pay a little bit more attention when putting in your iBook or the case won't close. The main reason I took off a star for this case was because the zipper pull tab is really small and to make it more manageable, Macally encased it in a piece of rubber that is ~1 inch long. However, I've had two cases with the same problem where the rubber would eventually crack and break off and making the zipper pull tab hard to grab. Overall, a good perfectly-fitted case for my iBook.Want Mace Group Macally 12" iBook Memory Foam Case - carrying case ( SPONGE12 ) Discount?
For the price, this has been the perfect case for my iBook G4 over the last two years. As noted in another review, the only design flaw is the elastic corner straps, which are not great, but work well once combined with the Velcro I used to keep the laptop and case bottoms and tops together. With that adjustment, I have kept the case on the computer 99% of the time I've owned it, only taking it off at airport security. It can run for hours without heating up the memory foam at all, which makes it more lap-friendly. The memory foam itself is a big advantage over other padded laptop cases I've tried.Monday, January 6, 2014

I bought this bag several months ago because I was flying a lot for work. Even some of the airport security folks have commented on how nice it is. I use it now exclusively instead of a briefcase or other laptop case for work. It shows absolutely no wear and will probably get even better looking with age. If something ever happens to this one I'll buy a new one immediately.Read Best Reviews of SOLO Vintage 15" Laptop Backpack Here
After hauling a semi durable nylon bag for 3 years daily to work and through about 30 international trips I really was looking for a slightly larger capacity, definitely a more business formal look and something sturdy. This bag has pleased me on all accounts. The leather is very nice look and feel and is sturdy. I do like the blue interior the lighter lining color (it is not gaudy) helps to see items at the bottom of the bag vs a dark color where items tend to be obscured. Enough pockets but not too many so with this bag you are not always playing hide and seek.UPDATE Now ~3 months using this bag during 5 international trips and daily office use... this bag is worth the expense. Travels great. Sturdy, attractive and roomy enough for long trips. I recommend this bag.
UPDATE2 Now 5 months and still very pleased. Look is like new after daily use and multiple international trips. Excellent buy... and I noticed the price has dipped a bit.
Update 3 Now over a year. Still great decision to purchase this back pack. Retains orginal look. Been on ~10 international trips and to work 5 days a week. I'd buy another.
Update 4 19 May 2012 still just fine. Very good value and construction. 18 months and it looks like I will have another few years on this bag at least.
Update 5 13 Dec 2012 even better value as I see the price decreased about 20% since I bought it. Since previous (May) update I've used daily and been overseas 4 to 5 times. Still holding up and looking fine.

Depending on the weight of your computer, you might want to be very discerning with this purchase.
I will contact Solo and see what they say. I will post the results as soon as I get them.
Update July 2012
Solo did not offer any resolution. I had high hopes. Too bad as they had other products I was considering. They lost a customer over this issue. Perhaps they have so many first time customers that they don't need to address issues. Perhaps my experience is the exception.

New laptops for christmas that were 17.3 inches. We wanted laptop sleeve that was neoprene and had handles to make ease of carrying the larger laptop. Read reviews and liked picture although settled for plain black as only color choice. When cases arrived they had small side strap and NO HANDLES as seen in picture. This is NOT what we wanted and feel pictoral description was deceiving.Want Mobile Edge Neoprene Laptop Sleeve - 17.3" PC Discount?
It does the job. It is sleek, well-padded, has nice zippers and a convenient handle. The side pocket is an added bonus, as well just enough room to stuff a power cord and/or mouse into. I have a Dell Studio 1747 (17 in.) and it fits perfectly. I am going to use this sleeve to add extra padding for my laptop when I pack it into my backpack. If I ever have to only transport the laptop this bag is sufficient. I totally recommend.Friday, November 8, 2013

Armor Tactical Response Backpack Bag for Professionals GO Bag
The inner large pocket is one giant pocket with two mesh inner pockets (on the same side as the front water bottle pockets). I can hold one foldable canvas litter and an emergeny radio/binoculars in the mesh pockets. The large inner area can hold a green CERT backpack and the waist pack just right. The shoulder straps shown work but are not comfortable for any kind of long hauling more to get your gear from your truck to a plane or bus.
This pack (in my opinion) is great to keep all of your CERT gear, climbing gear, water rescue gear, etc. in one spot, easily accessable and organized. I keep mine in the back of my Excursion but this would fit even in smaller cars (mid size to the larger end of compact cars). NOT for smart cars, etc. :) This is much more durable than a typical zipper duffel...the zipper is very tough (heavy duty YKK?), stitching is beefy and it's meant to be abused.
Does it's job...price has gone up since I bought mine (found it for closer to $75)...honestly I wouldn't buy it now at it's current price you can find other bags without the 'frills' (MOLLE, etc.) that you don't end up using anyway. If you can find it cheaper than $100, go for it, but at $129 it's a little overpriced.
