Igloo Duo 16 Can Capacity Regiment Backpack

Igloo Duo 16 Can Capacity Regiment BackpackI just received my Igloo Duo lunch back pack and it is all that I expected. Its very roomy inside and will easily fit my water jug and coffee thermos plus lunch for my day at work. It seems very well made and sturdy materials, plenty of room, it will be nice to put my lunch in it and carry it on my back while I drive my gas bike to work in the summer. Can't wait to try it out for the first time on Monday. :D

Keeps things cool & looks good. The straps are a bit thin, & subsequently I haven't been able to adjust them in a comfy enough position for a serious hike or bike ride, but great for casual hikes/rides, picnics, poolside, etc.

The Continental - Vintage Ladies Shopping / Traveling Backpack

The Continental - Vintage Ladies Shopping / Traveling Backpack
  • Brushed twill with luxe full-grain leather and timmed
  • with a creany saddle stitch.

I love this bag. It's not a dainty purse; it's like a school backpack but professional and "classic" in style. In addition to the extremely roomy main compartment and the front organizer pocket, there are two deep internal zippered pockets, pen loops, sunglasses pocket, internal pocket with flap (I use it for keys), and a side zip pocket for a phone. I can pull my cell phone out of the side pocket while wearing the bag. I use the bag year round, all the time, and it's held up wonderfully. It holds my iPad, a bluetooth keyboard, my wallet, my makeup bag, a book, sunglasses, pens, coupon organizer, cell phone, cell charger, ear buds, checkbook, feminine products, keys, gum, water bottle, gloves--all at once! I love using it everyday, when I travel by car or plane, and at work. I've gotten lots of compliments on it. It's sturdy and stylish. I can adjust the straps. I can wipe it clean with a damp cloth. Any wear on the fabric just seems to add character and doesn't detract from the continental flavor of the bag--it still looks great! The draw strings stay fairly taut. The large flap over the top keeps things secure. The loop on the top is great for hanging from coat hooks.

I must use a backpack due to shoulder, neck, and back problems (maybe because I carry too much crap?). This bag has wide straps to distribute weight and they don't dig or pinch my neck and shoulders. The bag doesn't slap my back when I walk or droop to my butt. However, my clothes sometimes creep up if I do a lot of walking, and I need to pull down my shirt or jacket in the back. Only other problems: It weighs too much with all my stuff in it! (Duh!) It weighs five pounds when empty. The leather strap over the buckle curls up now after 12 months+ of use. I need to polish the leather due to some scuff marks...haven't done it yet. I tried to replace this bag just for variety's sake, and looked for hours and hours at over 1600 different bags in stores and online. I briefly tried two others. Now I'm back to this one and want to get it in black and maybe get another one in brown just to have when/if this one wears out. Bellino also makes matching luggage, laptop bags, etc.

Mobile Edge Premium Laptop Backpack- 17.3-Inch (Black/Navy)

Mobile Edge Premium Laptop Backpack- 17.3-InchI bought this backpack 5 months ago as a replacement for a Mobile Edge Premium Laptop Backpack that I have had for almost 8 years. I bought the original in 2004 for what was then my new Dell Laptop. The original has held up fabulously through all kinds of experiences. It has been on countless flights around the country, through camping trips, three motorcycle accidents, and I use it every single day back and forth to work. In March of this year, I was in a 50 MPH head on motorcycle accident; I rolled over the backpack with my 230 lbs, and the only damage was a broken plastic buckle everything inside was in perfect condition.

The new backpack doesn't fare nearly as well. In 5 months, without any extreme circumstances (no motorcycle accidents, camping, etc.), the fabric inside the backpack has torn in two spots, the waist buckle has broken, and the light duty mesh on the outside front pockets has ripped. This is just from day to day use back and forth to work. The 1680 denier nylon outer skin has done well, which is to be expected. Everything else seems to be of inferior quality.

If the whole backpack were made of the same quality materials as the outer skin, it would be a great bag; it has many great features, it's comfortable, and it is roomy. As it stands, however, I will be looking elsewhere for my laptop backpacks from now on.

I recently bought a replacement plastic buckle for my original bag and have been using it instead of this new one. When it does eventually give up the ghost, I'll most likely look at a Sandpiper or Blackhawk bag that is built sturdier throughout.

My computer is 17.3" and also very thick it is hard to find 17.3" backpacks that are also thick enough. This is a great backpack and it fit the computer perfectly!

I I have now taken one weekend trip using this bag and it worked great. I do a lot of weekend travel and I have grown tired of lugging a briefcase and a suitcase and having to pay the outrageous bag fees on aircraft. I had no problem packing my iPad, clothes, toiletries and meds in this bag. It even has features I have not used yet. I am glad I bought it.

my previous bag was a swiss that lasted maybe 4 years. this one seems better made, stiffer. you don't have to fasten the rain cover buts its nice to have. this thing would fit a 19" laptop if you had to, 17" has room leftover. the 2nd compartment though isn't very deep front to back. its more like the laptop compartment, tall wide but not too deep. I wish it was a bit deeper. the bottom back pocket works great for stuff like USB cables, drives and other bits, but I wish it was taller to hold some larger cables.

very well made, should last a long time. had this 4-5 months and it still looks like new despite daily use including bike commuting I do while its nice outside... and even when its not quite nice :)

Dora Boots Pink Backpack

Dora Boots Pink BackpackI bought this one year ago for my daughter. She loves it. It looks exactly as the picture. She got compliments the first day she used it. She is still using it now. It has been one year but looks like new.

I bought this Dora Backpack for my niece for Christmas and she loved it!!! It had a Great price and quick arrival.

LOVE THIS!!! My daughter has not stopped carrying it with her. She takes it when she goes to daycare, when we go shopping, or even if she is outside playing. She loves toting around her extra clothes and toys. Well worth my money!

I ordered this item on January 24th expecting to have it delivered by February 6th for my daughter's first day of school. My daughter is 6 years old and loves Dora's books. She was thinking of getting her backpack every day since January 24th but every day was a disappointment. I hate to see her so disappointed when looking outside for a package after dark for more than 10 days. In the track report, it only showed that the item left in "Transit" but there was no way to track where it was. Last week, I got an evaluation form asking about my purchasing experience. I expressed my frustration about not receiving the item yet. I emailed to the Seller informing that I have not received the item even after the latest estimated delivery date. However, I have not heard a word from the seller until this morning. Then I filed a claim at Amazon to get a refund as gift credit. Very soon after I submitted my claim, I got an email from the seller telling me that they have sent the item out but there was NO WAY for them to track where the item could be. They said they were willing to mail me the same item again but it is out of stock. They directed me to another product as a replacement. It is very interesting that the seller got back to me 8 days after I contacted them and right after I filed a claim for a refund. Fortunately, the item was delivered later afternoon. The backpack is in bad quality, it looked dirty and rusty because of the color and its design. But my daughter loves the bag because she loves Dora. I do not want to hurt my six years old who has been thinking about her backpack for more than 10 days. I decided to keep it and make her happy. All I want to say is that this seller has a poor service and the backpack is not in a good quality. Since we have not received the backpack before my daughter went to school, we bought a beautiful backpack at $10 from Target. It is in a much better quality. If your kids love Dora and really want a packpack with Dora and Boots, go for it to make your kids happy. However, in terms of the quality of the item and the quality of the service, I have to rate it very low.

Poodelena Go-Go Backpack

Poodelena Go-Go  BackpackI have a very girly, creative girl who loves pink! For a long while I'd be looking for just the right backpack that would make her heart skip a beat and mine as well. Then I found this treat of pinkaliciousness! It is a good size to fit all of her toys, books, snacks, and other things that she likes to take on during her adventures around the city or even in our own apartment! I love its shiny and velvet appliques that add an extra touch of pizzazz and style. We now also know that there is a Poodlena book and toy. Couldn't wait to buy them too!

This backpack is great. My great granddaughter loads her other toys into it and takes them all around the house. It's really made for little ones with its nice texture.

17 Inch Lovebirds Eyecatching Red On Black And White DOUBLE Sided Print Design Laptop Carrying Case

17 Inch Lovebirds Eyecatching Red On Black And White DOUBLE Sided Print Design Laptop Carrying Case Netbook Notebook Slipcase Bag Sleeve for Macbook Pro Acer Asus Dell HP Sony ToshibaProduct was shipped quick and everything with is was fine except it was way too big to fit a 17 inch laptop.

Otherwise, A+

This case is EXACTLY what I was looking for. It is pretty thin and doesn't have any extra padding but it does what I want it to do and that's just to protect it from the elements when I carry it, to the dust at home, or when I put it in my book bag. If I dropped my laptop it would probably not protect it. I would totally buy another one of these! The customer service people even called me and told me it was a special order so it wouldn't ship right away! It was worth the wait!

Skip Hop Zoo Pack Little Kid Backpack, Mouse

Skip Hop Zoo Pack Little Kid Backpack, MouseThe size is just right for my two year old. Don't fill it too full or they may topple over! It fits a lot. We took it on a road trip and filled it up with DVDs and CDs and books. It worked perfectly and was cute to boot!

This backpack was perfect for my 2 yr old. It is just the right size and she loved the little mouse.

Buy Skip Hop Zoo Pack Little Kid Backpack, Mouse Now

I was searching for a BPA-free, Phthalate-free, PVC-free backpack for my daughter for kindergarten, and was thrilled to find these backpacks!

My five-year-old daughter saw the pink mouse Skip Hop in my Amazon search results, and immediately fell in love with it. I saw the dimensions, and thought it would be best to go with something this size, since she's a small child (36 lbs).

While I do not regret buying this backpack (she LOVES it), I suspect her teacher isn't wild about it shape. ;) Like other reviewers, we have a plastic folder that comes home every day in the backpack, but the only way for it to fit is to fold it (which we don't do. It has artwork inside) or bend the corners (doesn't affect the artwork too badly most days).

If Skip Hop would make these backpacks with more squared-off edges on top, the folders would fit fine! But because the packs are rounded and narrower at the top, there is some necessary bending involved. It's also tough to get the folder in if there's anything else already in there (mini umbrella, raincoat, sweater, whatever). You have to remove everything in the large part, put the folder in, fold the top edges, then add any other stuff in front of the folder. Not easy for my five-year-old to do. Probably not fun for her teacher, either.

But what I love about it (aside from how cute it is): That front pocket! It is a lot roomier than the picture would appear. Right now she's got a full plastic travel wipe container, pack of tissues, and a mini umbrella (no raincoat though, but it would fit rolled up, by itself. Maybe with a mini umbrella, if the jacket were thin).

A minor annoyance: the side mesh pocket for water bottles. It is so shallow that a decent-sized travel bottle will not stay in. We use Contigo Autoseal Kids Cups. They are too tall to fit in this side pocket. The elastic cord does not have a clip on it to tighten (you're supposed to tie it but ours doesn't stay tied well). I had to go buy a clip for it.

You might find it holds a shorter cup, or something else entirely, but ours remains unused. (The water bottle goes in her lunch bag.)

Bottom line: I agree with other reviewers who recommend this for a toddler/preschooler, but not a kindergartener. Or, for a kindergartener to use as an overnight bag.

EDIT: I ended up ordering a junior backpack from a certain well-known retailer in Maine, and am very glad I did. It's far roomier and no more squished folders. My kindergartener was sad to relegate the Mouse backpack to non-school use, but it still works great for holding her things for a short trip.

This is perfect for my 2yr old daughter! It has been really hard to find a backpack that is her size, and this one is just right. We bought this for her to take on a trip to Mexico and is a perfect carry-on for her. It has a nice big pocket for her snacks, a change of clothes etc.. and the front little pocket holds a lot of games and books. The cheese on the zipper is really cute and makes her giggle as she "feeds" it to the mouse. Would definitely recommend this!!

I got this as a 2nd birthday gift for my petite daughter. It's perfect. She loads this up with all of her little dolls and critters and it's not to heavy or cumbersome for her to carry around. She feels just like a big girl toting this backpack. The strap design is contoured so it's easy for her to get on, but not so big that I fear she will get it around her neck. What a great design! So far after 2 months of use, even though it's pink it's wearing well without signs of dirt. I wish they also made larger sizes.

High Sierra AT658 26 -Inch Expandable Wheeled Duffel with Backpack Straps

High Sierra AT6 26' Expandable Wheeled Duffel with Backpack StrapsMy old luggage of 25 years finally had to be replaced. I was looking for new luggage and asked several stewardesses what they would recommend. This is one brand they suggested. It has a divider inside. It can be carried like luggage or wheeled. In addition it can be carried as a backpack, because of the back straps. There is a larger size, but when the expansion is employed by unzipping, I would be right at the weight limit for air travel, which is why i wanted the 26" size. Cheaper luggage is available, but lacks the quality the numerous options for carrying.

This pack accompanied a 21 yr old female student to Florence for school. According to her, it was extremely functional and well-designed. She is about 5-4 and sturdily-built; she had no problem hoisting it fully-loaded and carrying it as a backpack. Believe me, it was FULLY loaded..within 1 lb or so of the 50-lb limit, on return trip.

No new damage was noticed upon return but it mostly served a apt storage unit between the plane trips. Wheels and straps were sturdy.

Buy High Sierra AT658 26 -Inch Expandable Wheeled Duffel with Backpack Straps Now

Preface: I purchased 3 bags. This one, the 22-inch (smaller) version and the 32-inch (larger) version.

This bag in particular is too large to carry on, so I've checked it on a number of flights. I think you'd have to work pretty hard to go over 50 pounds worth of stuff in it, unless you like to travel with bricks or something. When I use it, its usually on midsize trips, 2-5 days or so, along with the carry-on 22 inch bag.

As far as the series AT-6 luggage in general, some reviewers have knocked it because its not a spinner type (4 independent wheels), and I'm not sure why, its pretty obvious its not. If that's what you're looking for, all I can tell you is that this luggage isn't what you're looking for.

All roll aboard luggage with the retractable handle like this takes up space inside and this bag is also no exception. There is a thin piece of material between the compartment and the telescope path which is flexible, so you could probably cram a few extra pairs of socks in if you plan ahead.

I have taken these bags on numerous trips since purchase and they're holding up very well, checked and as carry-on. I've not had any broken contents (knock on wood) in any case, nor have any parts or straps been torn or broken (knock on wood).

The built-in ID card holder is a really nice feature, protected from the elements and is attached by a piece of elastic so it can't simply fall out and be lost (spreading your personal information all over the airport). I don't use the backpack straps much, but on the smaller bag, they're comfortable. I find the this and the larger one too heavy to wear like that comfortably.

The only way I could suggest High Sierra make this series better (again, I'm not letting it detract from my rating because it is clear it doesn't have this feature) is to add a "daisy-chain" strap for easier towing of more than one piece. This problem is easily corrected with a simple, economical product: Travelon Multi-Bag Stacker

This is a light, easy to roll bag. It was loaded with 40 lbs for a 2 week trip. I tried the backpack straps once but it was a little too heavy for that. Three or four of the pull tabs ripped off. That's no so great after only one use. It could probably survive another four or five trips; which sadly is better than most these days.

Want High Sierra AT658 26 -Inch Expandable Wheeled Duffel with Backpack Straps Discount?

I have the larger version of this bag and liked it so much, but you can easily over-pack and end up paying more money at the airport check in. My wife and I were going on a trip to the UK and they have even more strict weight regulations, so we bought this model (the 26 inch size) and were very happy. We didn't get charged any over-weight fees and we packed these bags up tight. I also like the wheels and the backpack which in the UK helps a lot because they aren't as efficient (i.e. lazy, haha)as us Americans and have more stairs.

Mountainsmith Messenger Bag Recycled

Mountainsmith Messenger Bag Recycled Shoulder Bag, Heritage Cobalt, SmallI had to return this bag because I was looking for a messenger bag. One that could hold books and possibly a computer. THIS IS NOT IT! This bag is the size of a purse. Perhaps, it was my fault for not scrutinizing the specifications; therefore, I felt that giving it a low rating for my mistake was wrong. Also, the bag looked as though it was very sturdy, and it's nice to know companies are becoming more sustainable. I wanted to warn others of my mistake to save them the hassle. If you're looking for a larger bag, I decided to purchase the Extra Large recycled tire bag. EXCELLENT BAG!

I only have the use of my right arm so carrying books,etc. are kind of a problem. I didn't want a "man purse", I'm too close to red neck for that. And the usual messenger bag was way too big for what I needed. This one is smaller & fills the bill perfectly. I can carry my Kindle,compact binoculars, camera, Magazines, note papers,cap, whatever. There are compartments inside & out. Most are zippered.

This bag is styled like back-pack stuff so I don't feel odd carrying it around. It's very well made & ought to last me a long time. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that the water bottle holder is too tight for the usual 16 oz. bottle. It'll fit but not without a struggle. It should be easier to slip in & out.

I have been looking for a small messenger bag for over 6 months and finally I have the one that fits me! I am not a purse carrying kind of person but needed more space when I got married (his keys, his wallet, his phone, camera, etc etc). I like to have my hands free and did not want to mess with a shoulder bag. This bag is perfect lots of organization, a place for my sunglasses, straps that don't twist and bunch, small, durable and recycled. One day I may have an iPad or something similar it will then also be the perfect computer bag ;) Love it!

------UPDATE--------

I've had this bag for 10 months now. It's been the best Amazon purchase yet. This bag has held up with no problems, and we've put it through the ringer. It's been yanked, pulled, snatched, dragged in every possible way. The velcro, which was one of my concerns, works great and showing no signs of pilling. I've had no issues with stitching coming loose. The only small thing is some of the rubber padding on the shoulder strap is showing wear. All of my pockets,zippers and pouches are in great condition. I'd purchase this bag again in a heartbeat! Water bottle holder works great for travel sized tissues. I do find it annoying that I can't stick an actual bottle in the pocket designed to hold bottles. The strap across my chest, I've gotten use to. Overall it's a wonderful product that seems to be holding up with out any signs of me needing to replace it anytime soon. I have washed the bag in cold water hung dry, and it took the washing perfectly.

------------------------

I purchased this bag relying heavily on other's comments. I was worried about the size of the bag, but the comments on what they were able to fit helped. (If you read some of the other comments, I agree with the waterbottle holder being too small for a practical sized bottle.)

I wanted to switch my purse for something more pratical. I have a toddler with special needs and I need to be able to have breathing treatment and g-tube supplies on me at all times. Not to mention the spare diaper, sippy cup and whatever my daughter and husband ask me to carry. I can fit my kindle too, but it's a tight fit with everything else.

My purse ended up ripping under the pressure. This bag has great comparments so my toddler has his own section, and I have mine. I love this aspect! I can grab my wallet with out having to dig around for it. It also is great when my toddler dashes and I don't have to worry about the contents of my purse tumbling out as I try and scoop him up. The bag has sturdy velcro that holds the flap down, along with a semi-useless buckle. I have a slight concern of the velcro pilling and not sticking as well as it does now. I clip my keys on the outside along with my hand sanatizer. Everything I could want.

I can take out my wallet, readjust the strap and let my husband take the bag if he has our son. The bag I choose is gender nuetral(Charcoal).

The only reason why I didn't give it five stars is because the shoulder cushion isn't moveable. It's very cushy, and nice don't get me wrong. But if I throw the bag so it's behind me then the strap is thick and bulky going across my chest. It would be nice if it slid over so the cushion was still on my shoulder or out of the way all together.

I just purchased this bag a month ago for my busy life style with kids. I need to have my hands free with 2 busy boys. I can't worry about my purse falling off my shoulder. This allows me to put everything in it including a small synch bag for diaper necessities. I can put my day timer, small tablet(7 in), the small diaper bag and still have room for some snacks for my toddler. I recently took this with us to the zoo and I loved it. I didn't have to be the overloaded mom with several bags and was able to have all the essentials in one bag! The quality is good and it survives the Seattle rain and spit up nicely. I like the velcro and the buckle closure. The velcro makes sure it closes when I don't have the hands to close it right away and the buckle works with one hand. I have been looking for a long time for a purse/bag that was just the right size for all of my needs and not too big or small. The strap is adjustable to my size. It has the set shoulder pad but you can adjust the straps so it is in the position you want. I have purchased several other bags from this brand and they have held up through time and abuse. I would recommend this to anyone with an active lifestyle or on the go. Great for traveling and busy moms that don't want to look like they are carrying a diaper bag.

High Sierra Chaser Wheeled Book Bag

High Sierra Chaser Wheeled Book Bag Backpack, Black/Charcoal/BlackI bought this backpack for my 10 year old daughter as every year her backpacks have not held up to all her books, wear and tear, and break her back from the weight. This backpack is perfect for her! The colors are bold, it has so much space inside, and the handle for the roller feature moves so easily even when she's in a hurry to get to class! We both are very satisfied with the product and I know it's worth having spent a little more because I can tell this is not one we will have to replace in 6 months. Great product!

I purchased this book bag after reading reviews and was not disappointed. My 11 year old neighbor began using it immediately. The wheels are important because of the number of books needed for class. The bag is well designed and more importantly the wheels and handle are very sturdy. This brand is our new go-to for book bags.

If you're looking for a rolling backpack to carry a lot of books and heavy things this isn't the one (my handle snapped off after 6 months). If you carry a several small books this would work great. It has two compartments, the main one and a really small one for phone mini notepad change stuff like that. So it depends how much stuff you put in it .

I should have known when I looked for a "book bag" that it was not intended for adults????? I would never have bought this item if I had the opportunity to handle it before ordering it. The rolling was the key need for this book bag. Unfortunately the handle does not extend far enough for an adult to comfortably use the rolling feature. I would not recommend this bag for anyone over 5 foot tall.

Zeroshock III 14-inch Notebook Case

Zeroshock III 14-inch Notebook CaseI've looked around for a lot of cases to fit my Lenovo T410 w\ 9 cell battery and found most to either be too big or too tight (because the 9 cell battery sticks out of the back). I checked out the Zeroshock III based on recommendations from Lenovo forums and discovered that this case fits the laptop perfectly! The padding on the inside is memory foam very dense and very protective. The outside of the case is rubber-like; I didn't like it at first but now I realize that it's semi-waterproof perfect for keeping the laptop safe if you accidentally spill something on it or have to carry the case in the rain so I can live with it. Although it's not advertised as such, I've sent the case (with laptop inside) through airport scanners and TSA didn't have a problem with it.

I wanted something that'll fit in my backpack so I can carry my laptop around and this was the perfect product for me. Its padded nicely on the inside and easy to open and close. I would purchase this again if I had to.

This case fits my Lenovo Y480 perfectly (with the wireless antenna), and it opens fully/flat, which is more convenient than a slide-in sleeve. The egg-crate padding is thick enough to protect the laptop but is still light weight. I'm quite satisfied.

I bought this case for my Lenovo T410 w/ 9cell battery. As other reviews have mentioned, it fits this model perfectly. The case offers excellent protection with an eggcrate style foam lining, and reinforced edges to protect against drops. The price of all this protection is a little extra bulk I was overly optimistic in estimating the size of the case compared to my current laptop bag, so it's a very snug fit. All things considered, it's an excellent case, and is leaps and bounds above the cheap neoprene cases offered by most OEMs.

Eagle Creek Travel Gear Pack-It Quick Trip

Eagle Creek Travel Gear Pack-It Quick Trip, Pacific BlueI like eagle creek products and this one does not disappoint. Its versatile enough to be used for various things. I've used it mostly for toiletries and it held everything I needed for a 3 week international trip. To give you an idea of what it can hold

1. toothbrush

2. travel size tooth paste

3. deo stick

4. shampoo

5. soap

6. small sized vaseline jar

7. nail clippers & nail file

8. ear buds

9. a few other small miscellaneous items

I purchased the Eagle Creek Pack-It Quick Trip to replace an old travel worn Dopp Kit. The pack-it quick trip is well made as are all of the Eagle Creek items I own. At first, I thought the pack-it quick trip was too small; however, this made me take inventory of what I had been carrying on trips for the last 15 years and realized that I didn't use half of it. SO, with a revised inventory of toiletries, I loaded up the pack-it quick trip for a two week trip to Australia. The quick trip functioned flawlessly, held everything I really needed for two weeks on the road, and still had some room left. My favorite feature is the zippered pockets on both sides one is ventilated and is a great place to stuff your razor if you are rushed and have to put it away while still wet, and the other side was a great place to put small stuff that usually settles to the bottom of your kit and requires you to dig for in my case it is fingernail clippers, a comb, and a pair of tweezers. Eagle Creek, you have done it again!

This little bag is perfectly sized to toss in a full-sized "family" tube of toothpaste, tooth brush, razor, bar of soap and a tube of cream. Fantastic for quick trips as the name suggests.

It is also the perfect size for a travel electronics bag. It holds my laptop's powerbrick, travel universal adaptor, USB adaptor and car adaptor in the main compartment, and my Kensington and IGo tips in the side mesh pocket.

Highly recommended as a quick trip toiletry bag for those that don't need a toiletry bag that hangs, or as a compact travel electronics bag. It's simple, well-made and effective.

The Eagle Creek Pack-It Quick Trip is utilitarian. I am a female who is sick of cheap cosmetic bags. I finally decided to go with a better-constructed, albeit less attractive, toiletry bag.

This bag is not large, so if you need tons of space, this probably won't work. However, the base of the bag is quite large. I am able to fit a round, double-sided mirror in the bottom with room for eyeliner, mascara, eyelash curler, tweezers, a couple hair bands, a brush, toothbrush, and toothpaste and I still have room left over for extra bottles, etc.

The two small zipper pockets on the front and back are great for all that stuff that falls to the bottom of your dopp and essentially gets lost. I agree that the mesh pocket is great for a wet toothbrush or anything that needs air to dry.

I also backpack, so having a handle on one side and a loop on the other makes it very practical for storage. If I need more room in my pack, I can hang this off the side or from a tent, etc. It hardly weighs anything and fits well in small spaces.

I also like that it matches all other Eagle Creek packing cubes, etc. and that it is made from recycled materials.

First off, do be aware that the size of these pouches are, as compared to my initial assumption, bigger than I expected.

I had originally purchased two of them to act as cable/laptop power brick pouches to better organize my rolling briefcase that can get quite unwieldy at times with the number of cables, cords and adapters I have to bring along with me to support three laptops and the usual smattering of gadgets.

The pouch is more akin to the size of a small toiletry bag as opposed to my impression that it was big enough to hold a standard laptop power brick and a few other cables. One of these bags can probably hold all three of my power bricks and then some. My only concern is if they will both fit in my wheeled brief without obscene bulging.

I travel weekly so I will likely know pretty quickly if these work for my needs or not. But at this point i'm undecided.

Update 9/30/2012: After having the pouches for a few weeks, I've decided to keep them. I currently use one of them as a boarding bag as my noise canceling headphones pouch and a number of other items I like to have handy while flying. You have to be selective as there's not a huge amount of room, but headphones, two cell phones and a smallish USB backup battery all fit without problem

The second pouch I have yet to find a use for but it has earned a place in my carryon luggage waiting for the need to arise.

All in all, I'm happy with the product although I think the cost to produce vs. retail price ratio is a bit high. These pouches could be priced a bit lower. If I were really concerned about my budget I likely would have not made the purchase.

Licensed Thomas the Tank Engine School 10" Mini Backpack Bag - No.1 Tank Engine

Licensed Thomas the Tank Engine School 10' Mini Backpack Bag - No.1 Tank Engine
  • Size ; approx. 8 in X 10 in X 3.5 in
  • Side of mesh pocket for small stuff or bottle

We received our purchase on the earliest day listed to arrive and I was pleased to find that this backpack was of quality "backpack" construction. I was leery buying a backpack over the internet because I worried that the product would be plastic-y or inferior. This backpack looks, feels and smells just like anyone would expect. It fits on my 3 year old son perfectly and the straps adjust to give it a better fit. He has already put his train tracks and trains in the big pouch. Both zippers are well-placed and of good construction. The Thomas emblem on the front of the bag puffs out as a surprise added bonus. I purchased this bag specifically for my son's use and not as a diaper bag or something to help hold the misc. baby things mothers usually carry around. For my intended use, this bag is perfect....for a parent looking for a handy "not a diaper bag" diaper bag keep looking.

Ordered about a year ago. Now too small for my son's knick knacks but it definitely served it's purpose well. I also ordered the matching lunch bag which I was amused to find put on top of each other we're the same size! Oh well....

Kreative Kids Plush Animal Rollers Monster

Little Boys Girls Green Monster Roller Wheel Backpackwe were asked a few times over a few day vacation where we got this and it was so cute. the wheels come off so the child can wear this as a backpack and the monster comes off, it is just adorable!!

My great-granddaughter received a princess doll on a roller bag and my great-grandson wanted one very much. I found this one and it fit the bill. He loves to pull his own toys around in the tote and has been know to have the monster doll in his bed at night.

It works great and was good deal. Has plenty of room for accessories.

This is a great laptop case! It fits nice and snugly inside, and has a ton of pockets for extra things like a mouse, pad, cords, and anything else you'd need to take with you for your laptop. It's very durable and has stiff corners to protect against drops and bumps. I would highly recommend this product every time. My husband loves it, and it will definitely be the case I get when I get a laptop too.

Stephen Joseph Boys 2-7 Sidekick Backpack

Stephen Joseph Boys 2-7 Sidekick Backpack, Dino, One SizeThis preschool-sized backpack suits its purpose. The lunchbox doesn't fit too well because of the smaller size of the backpack, so we generally carry the lunchbox separate. The side pouches for drinks are a great bonus. The one thing I would change it to have double-zipper pulls on the main backpack compartment. Never would have thought it to be necessary, but given this is a preschool-sized backpack and somethings need to stick out of the top on occassion, a double-zipper pull would be perfect. Not a deal breaker, though.

My 4-year-old son uses this backpack Monday through Friday at preschool. It's used mostly for carrying his stuffed puppy dog and some art work but once in a while we will pack a change of clothes inside. It's plenty big and fits him well enough but the edges of the bag are starting to show wear and tear after just a couple of months of use. Also, our son has a hard time getting his Kleen Kanteen water bottles (the smaller sippy cup size) in the side pockets. They could be a bit bigger.

Very disappointed. Got for my Kindergartener and not only was it very small but the top loop (where it hangs from) broke in the first week of use. Fine purchase if for a toddler (under 5yo) who won't give it much wear and tear, but definitely don't recommend it for anyone else!

I was debating between this and the one from skip hop and decided on this one because it was bigger. It's just the right size for my almost 4 yr old to take to school this year. Super cute and my son loves it.

This backpack is large and roomy for my Alienware 17inch laptop and has quite a bit of extra space. The shoulder straps are sturdy and there is enough padding to make this backpack comfortable on the kidneys and shoulders. There are several pockets and little zippered pouches to seperate everything out. Overall I liked this backpack, the swiss backpack I had previously had more padding but since I am not packing this thing long distances just to and from the car it is great for me.

I dropped this back pack with my computer in it and it didn't break. The only thing that I don't like about this backpack is the zipper is hard to open in the middle pouch because of the lining. Buy this bag.
