AmeriLeather Traditional Leather Backpack
As far as service goes service was great, no complaints
Areas where the product description is worng:
1) The backpack straps are NOT detachable. They are the standard strap style that you will find on any backpack. I was disappointed in this, because my backpacks are typically ruined when the straps rip out (AKA I load my backpacks up with heavy books and most standard straps rip their stitching out). I was really looking forward to recieving a backpack that had re-enforced attachments for the straps.
2) There are NO side pockets; however, there are plenty of pockets in the front.
3) This backpack has a total of 5 compartment. Other then the main compartment you have one that is capable of a text book. The remaining 3 are appropiate size for pens and office supplies.
4) The U-zipper on this backpack goes almost all the way to the bottom of the bag. It stops about an inch and a half up from the base. This is a wonderful over the standard backpack design as it allows you easily stack your books in the backpack. My previous backpack I had to stand the books up in. I would say that this U-zipper design by itself makes the backpack worth owning.
The one thing that is expressed in the product description very well is the dimensions. This is a very deep backpack, with a base that is 5" wide. If you are like me and typically carry the majority of your college books in your backpack then you will love this. I just started nursing school and was very pleased to find out that ALL of my books for the semester can be carried inside this backpack.
I would recommend this backpack to a friend, in fact I intend to. As I stated before the only thing I am wary about is having the standard style of backpack straps.This is a larger backpack and it is absolutely wonderful. I use it every day on my way to work on the scooter. The leather is very soft and doesn't smell. A great product and will buy one for my husband.

Great size, compact, good looking, well made, perfect... this is not the kind of bag you'd use for a camping trip.Read Best Reviews of AmeriLeather Traditional Leather Backpack Here
This is a hefty backpack and its quite durable, it's just not the most fitting to your back. The main pocket it really large and that males my books fit strange and for some reason it doesn't fit in my back very well. But it is an overall good backpackThese backpacks are an amazing product for the price. I purchased two, for my husband and for me, mainly for airline travel that way these roomy packs can be in lieu of a purse or bag, and with the allowed carry-ons, we can avoid checking luggage. They are handsome and very functional. There is plenty of room for travel essentials, a change of clothes, and I include a small handbag to use once we are at our destination. The backpack costs less than a quality handbag and is way more versatile. I couldn't be happier with this product!Saturday, July 12, 2014

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

I gotta say, i am very pleased with it. Overall it seems very sturdy, and the main compartment has a lot of room. Two mini compartments at the top, about 7 in. wide and 5 in deep. And then the outer-most compartment as well that zips up.I did expect a secondary "big" compartment, but there is not another, so remember that there is only one big compartment when buying this one. It looks absolutely amazing though.
I'll update this one later on down the road, (in 6 months) to see how it holds up.

Cyclus Pangolin Backpack made of reused tyre inner tubes, Black / Grey inner lining
Buy Cyclus Pangolin Backpack made of reused tyre inner tubes, Black / Grey inner lining Now
I purchased the Cyclus Pangolin Backpack for my wife, as she had found the item a few months back and I wanted to surprise her for her birthday. She could not have been more thrilled. She absolutely loves the ingenuity of Cyclus to integrate both style and recycling used rubber that would other wise sit in a trash heap.As for the bag itself, it really is made of good construction. The backpack holds its shape well and will protect items inside. The shoulder straps are heavily padded, which is excellent, but the size of the backpack means the bag sits more at the center of the back than at the shoulders, so much of the strap just spans the distance between your back and shoulder, rather than sitting higher on your shoulder as most backpacks do.
The size of the bag is somewhat disappointing as it does not hold a laptop, notebooks, or full-sized textbooks all that well. The back pocket in the bag is big enough to house an e-reader, but that's about it. The organizer pockets are well-designed and easily put to good use though. The space in the bag is good, and it will hold a fair amount of items, but again, smaller or folding items (jacket, lunch in a container, etc).
My wife mainly uses the bag as a work purse, containing her wallet, cell phone, e-reader, jacket, sweater for work, and her lunch, and it still has plenty of room. She is constantly getting comments and questions about how it works and where she got the bag, and how it looks like "a big armadillo," which is, of course, the point behind the design.
The bag attaches at the top with a forked clasp on the carrier's spine side of the bag. I was concerned the clasp would rub against my wife's back and be uncomfortable, but the bag naturally sits off her back at that spot, so there is no irritation.
All in all I rate this item 4/5 stars for its design and use of recycled products. I subtracted one star for its size, and how it sits at the middle of the back, rendering the padded straps mostly unused.I spotted this bag on a little backstreet in Amsterdam a few years ago bought it for 199 Euros because I knew when I saw it how unique it is.
As a designer item, it is incredibly visually striking simply because it is meant to mimic the protective scales of the Pangolin. The bag I got from Amsterdam extends and retracts the "scales" to reveal the relatively small inner compartment, where the pouches can hold your pens, phone, etc.
I've found the bag to be somewhat impractical for daily use because I'm a commuter and having something this bulbous on your back doesn't make it easy to squeeze onto a crowded bus or train. Plus the inner compartment is limited when it comes to things of a square or rectangular nature. If you have a tablet, a book, and a pair of shoes, you're good to go. If you have a bunch of thicker text books, you'll want something without a dome.
But if you're traveling relatively light with several smaller items, this bag is perfect. It is pretty weather resistant (not completely water proof) by design, but a couple of the panels on the dome are not smooth rubber. The base of the bag (resting against your back) is padded, as are the shoulder straps, which is a nice feature. It's not a gel padding, but a thicker foam type that feels good if you load up the bag with some heft.
I've never seen another one of these bags on the street, so I'm glad I got it when/where I did. If you pick one up, know you're paying for the time spent making it, the materials, and the unique nature of the design. It's worth it!

There is not another bag out there like it. It's slightly on the small size, but it's a cycling backpack so it should be expected. It's perfect for my tablet and composition notebooks for school. If you like comments and compliments, this bag brings them in like the plague. Half the time people don't know that it's actually a backpack. In summary: Great for meeting new people. Very Stylish. Innovative. Easy to access. Pricey, but worth it.Monday, April 14, 2014

My daughter loves this backpack! It is kinda weird, but cool-weird! It appears well-made... we haven't had any problems with it yet. It is definitely unique and fun.Read Best Reviews of MadPax Luggage Bubble Fullpack Bag Here
My 8-year old daughter loves attention, and so I was looking for a backpack that would help her stand out. We were tired of the $20 backpacks you get in the back to school sections of stores because they are boring, and they don't last. I surprised her with this backpack from Amazon, and she was thrilled! She loves "popping" the bubbles, then pushing them back out again. If she wants to be nice, she allows her friends at school a turn. Her backpack is now the talk of the classroom, and she LOVES the attention. Plus, it appears to be very sturdy. I hope it lasts the school year.Sunday, February 23, 2014
Sierra Designs Jubilee 50 Women's Backpack
Things I'm undecided and unsure about are 1)the highly molded hip belt and lumbar/back supports. I keep trying it on, filled and empty, and I can get it to feel OK, until I bend over. I guess it just might take getting used to but what if I can't? 2) the exposed central stay: I guess it's just bizarre seeing the internal mechanics of a pack exposed, and I wonder whether it'll increase the chances of the stay getting damaged. 3) A minor issue, but why must all women's packs come in girlie colors?
Things I do like: the way it fits around my shoulders, the support of the pack on my hips. The bottom isn't flat, which at first I wasn't sure about, but it does bring the weight higher up to the middle of the back which is good.
Things I would have liked: compression cord on the outside; clips that are easy to manipulate and use; more external pockets that CLOSE with zippers or that have flaps and clips. Traditional styling, yes but I don't agree that because one redesigns a pack to FIT women, that it has to abandon the tried-and-true features that make a pack user-friendly.
In all honesty, though I change my mind about it several times a day and have left the tags on just in case, I will probably keep it. If I had paid any more than I did ($99), It'd be going back. Hopefully it'll grow on me.
Happy trails!

Stansport Cotton G.I Rucksack (Black)
The only thing I can think to note about this pack is that it is a giant lump of cloth. There is nothing to give it any sort of shape or frame, save for what you put in it. So if the pack isn't full, it can sit rather limply and may pose an issue for whatever you are attempting to haul. A laptop, for example, would be a nightmare in this thing unless you had lots of other stuff to keep it from moving around.I got this backpack for light hiking, but is not very well made. The protective tips on the straps started falling off even before I use it. Also the seams were the straps are connected to the backpack are defective, at least on mine. Overall I can say that is not well made, don't expect it to last very long, but of course is cheap, so you get what you paid for.

This bag is awesome! The canvas is very rugged. The stitching appears to be very strong and durable. If I had to say one critical thing it's that the item description is more accurate to the color than the picture. It looks almost brown in the picture, but it is definitely black (which is what i wanted anyway). Each of the canvas ruck-type bags on amazon have some glaring issue or another but this one definitely was the better choice.Read Best Reviews of Stansport Cotton G.I Rucksack (Black) Here
Quality. Looks good. Specs are accurate. I bought this specifically to fit under the seat of a plane that charges for carry ons, but allows 1 personal item. It fit everything I needed for a week on a cruise ship, and I am a girl. Talk about storage space!Great quality! Heavy duty canvas, metal buckles and large pockets. This is an excellent pack! It certainly get the job done!Tuesday, January 28, 2014

16" Lego Ninjago Masters of Spinjitzu Large Backpack Book Bag
Sturdy, good zippers, enough space.
Print is well made.
It's just a great back pack for 6 years and up; lunchbox, snow pants, homework and water bottle; it's all good!Item arrived brand new and in plastic packaging. The book bag looks well made and tough enough for elementary school. The zippers zip well and I like the two zipper pockets on the front of the book bag because it's more useable storage space on the book bag. I would recommend this product and seller!

Buy 18" Green Army ACU Digital Camouflage Water-Resistant Backpack School Book Bag Now
Actually just bought this for a spare throw stuff in bag, but when it arrived I was surprised at how nice it was. Great quality, seems to still be holding up well after piling books in it and carring it around for a few weeks. Plenty of room.I have a lot of experience with ACU gear given my military occupation. This is in no way close to military spec, but I wasn't expecting it to be. I got this for my 7 year old and he can wear it just fine. It's big enough for his school supplies, but not too big. I would anticipate that he could use this well into the later years of elementary school. Will it last that long? It just might actually. The construction is good especially considering the price. Zippers are stronger than most "kid back packs" that I've seen. I don't believe they will fail as easily. Best part is that it's very water resistant. In addition to the exterior material, it also has an inner layer which is really what makes it resistant to wet weather. The layout of the pockets is simple and functional. The outside pocket has a few standard sleeves and pockets for school related items. The shoulder straps are nicely padded and counter well to the smaller from of a child.Want 18" Green Army ACU Digital Camouflage Water-Resistant Backpack School Book Bag Discount?

Meffort 17 inch Flower Leaves Design Laptop Sleeve Bag Carrying Case
I have a 16.4 inch lap and expected the sleeve to be a little big but not 2 1/2 inches on top and 2 at the side! I put it inside my bag for extra protection and have to fold it because is way too big on my 17" bag!
The advantage of the sleeve size is that when I grab it by itself I can put my charger, mouse and other gadgets inside.
The padding is very thin, not that much protection.
The other problem was the packaging and I took one star just because of it. it had a small piece of cardboard inside that left a dent in the material and still has it after a few weeks.The condtions are good, the material feels comfortable. If there has more space for the accessory, that will be wonderful.
