SOLO Tech - 17.3" Laptop and iPad Backpack
I was looking for a large backpack that would hold my books, laptop and my little lunch bag for the day, and it was this or the Targus XL Backpack. Well after looking at both I went for the cheaper one. So far I haven't regretted the decision. The size is slightly smaller than the Targus, and it does seem to be a little lower in the quality of material and build, but the comfort and compartments to me seem just a tiny bit better. I like Solo's large main compartment with the smaller nicknacks in the front compartment and the laptop compartment in the back.
The zippers seem to be well constructed with metal pulls, but the bag material on the bottom seems like it might be a bit flimsy and I suspect it will wear out quickly. The straps are nice and cushiony and the back padding is very comfortable.
So far it has been very good. I'll try and report back in a few months to tell you how it has held up.

My sole purpose to buy this backpack was to accommodate my 17" dell laptop.This bag does NOT fit 17" laptop AT ALL.
So if you are buying this for laptops under 17" then I may suggest this one else not.
So I am returning this bag

SwissGear Travel Gear ScanSmart Backpack 1900
When I received this backpack I knew that this is a high quality product after unpacking it. The material is very durable and the zippers are huge and strong. I was amazed by how much stuff this backpack can pack! I fitted in about 12 shirts and underwear, 1 sweater, 1 jacket, 1 pair of pants, 5 pairs of socks, 1 laptop, and some small stuff such as shaver, toothbrush, chargers, camera, etc. It is just like a small suitcase!
Right now I'm also using this for my college, I usually need to carry a lot of books and a laptop. The back of the backpack has a thick "cushion" and my shoulders and back don't feel sore at all.
I warmly recommend this backpack!We purchased this backpack for our new 17" HP laptop. The website was very good at helping us pick a backpack this laptop would actually fit itside. It also has the special pocket that, hopefully, will make getting through airport security checks easier (don't know yet I fly with it for the first time tomorrow). Very heavy duty contruction and well made zippers and pockets. My only complaint is that it is so big, my husband can load so much stuff in it that it winds up being pretty heavy. No slinging it over one shoulder for long you need to use both straps for the load! EDIT made it through the airline security perfectly did not have to remove the computer, just opened the special zippered compartment! They did find my water bottle though I had forgotten it in that deep side pocket! I met someone else in line with this same backpack. He had been using it for 2 years and it still looked great.

Have been using this backpack for a month now. Like being able to go through the "TSA Gauntlet" without taking the laptop out of the backpack; just unzip the backpack and lay it on the conveyor belt opened up. On the other side zip it back up and you're on your way.Plenty of storage compartments for all of the stuff I take with me when I travel. I travel every week and this one backpack has replaced two other travel bags. Down to one carry-on.

My husband needed a new backpack to carry his 17" laptop. What makes finding the right backpack difficult is the fact his laptop is at least 2" deep. It's fairly old, but still runs like a dream, so no upgrading if the size is the only problem.This backpack provided details about the size of the laptop compartment so we were pretty sure it would fit (we have had some disagreements with published dimensions before). It worked. The backpack also has enough other compartments and storage to hold his massive power brick for the laptop, gaming mouse, headphones, hard cover book, and snacks.
He's pretty rough on gear and this is still going strong despite 3 long distance trips and cross country trip. We would recommend this backpack.

Excellent pack. Looks good and seems like good quality so far. Have traveled many times thru the airport and the smartscan feature is great. Have had no one ask me to take it out while going thru security screening. Laptop accessability on a daily basis is very good, easy in and easy out from the side. Not to be picky but would have like a few more zipper pockets inside the back pack (only one). Overall, really like the product and price.Saturday, May 31, 2014
Sesame Street Elmo Red Medium Backpack Bag Tote
We have used this as a everyday bag for him when he goes to daycare to carry his pullups, wipes, toys and snacks. It has been stuffed with clothes and shoes alsothe bag seems to be durable and my son loves it.
If your getting this for a toddler though you might want to get a smaller sized one as my son is 2 and most think he is either 3 or 4 already because of his height and the bag was a little too big for him.We haven't used it yet but as an Elmo lover its good fot me. Its perfect size for my 4 year old preschooler. Elmo himself is very soft too which I didn't expect.

Hard to believe we have had this bag for a few months and my daughter just won't let it go. We use it for daycare and pack most of her day to day and weekly belongings and meals so it works out nicely. I would have liked a little more room though. At the end of the week we bring all of her belongings home and sometimes need a second bag to carry her stuff. Other than that, well made and solid little bag that does the job.Saturday, April 19, 2014
Crumpler Local Identity (S) PHOTO
However for my light travel/street backpack the slot have been open. until now.
The Crumpler Local Identity comes with the "heaven" padded insert. the insert have enough room for my Leica M with 35mm and a spare lens. There is actually enough room to fit one sideways on the other side also, but even though i do it, I do not recommend it.
The S size is advertised as a 13" laptop size, however my MacBookPro 15" fit perfectly in the S.
There is a nifty zipper fake bottom which can be closed to prevent stuff from dropping down and mingling with the camera padded case.
The top is roll down with a waterproof zipper, inside is a sleeve against the back and all the way to the top for the laptop, you can comfortably carry a laptop and camera at the same time.
On each side is a vertical zipper for easy access, I put the camera case so I can reach if by sliding the bag down on my left shoulder. On the other side I put a padded lens sleeve for one extra lens. Both of the side openings have a quick connect lock for fast access and it is possible to close it while leaving the zippers open.. (just remember they are open)
This is a LIGHT pack, room for camera + 1 lens in the padded sleeve, and another one on the other side if you have a separate sleeve. you "could" put a sleeve on the top for more gear.. but then you might as well get a bigger bag.
I have been using the Local Identity S to go to the office because it take my MBP 15" and my street camera with a spare lens in serious comfort and padded safety.
If anyone of the crumpler designers read this I would love a XS size, shave off a little size and make it iPad size. with the same camera heaven insert. Thanks guys.
So is this a recommended pack.? I have a hard time using the word "recommended" since this backpack is such a specialized creature, I absolutely love mine, it is brilliantly designed and so well made, it do not swallow huge amounts of lenses, this works great for me but your needs may be different than mine.I should say first that I'm always in search of the "perfect" bag. Since it is an item I use daily, I'm happy to spend money for quality, and I'd hoped that the Crumpler Local Identity (S) would be worth it. Sadly, it simply isn't.
First, the good parts:
The bag is reasonably comfortable (I'm 5'5"). It holds (snugly) a 13" MacBook Air in a Waterfield Designs sleeve, a Canon T3i with Sigma 24mm prime and flash (only the camera and lens fit in the little sack, and quite snugly). Maybe also a pouch or two about the size of a pencil case. That's about it. With all that, there's not much room for your lunch. The design is overall pretty reasonable: a top-loading pouch with a zippered divider to separate into two compartments, and two side zippers that allow access to the pouch. It's not terribly heavy, it's waterproof, and looks pretty good. In black, it doesn't really call attention to itself; I can't speak to the other colors.
Now, the not so good:
The main feature of the pack is rapid access to camera gear. Swing the sack over one shoulder, slide it around, unclip the side clip, undo the zipper and slide the camera out of the protective pouch. At least in theory. In practice, the problem comes when running into the side zippers, which curve pretty drastically. Putting zippers on a curved track is generally a recipe for disaster, and Crumpler, as good as they are, can't do anything about this. The first bag I had, the zipper went off the rails within the first week. Because the zippers are "watertight" there isn't any way to repair the bag at home. So it was back to Crumpler for an exchange, which was pretty seamless, but annoying. Now, on bag 2, I'm really careful with the zippers, and it's still pretty clearly a showstopper. There's no way to run the zipper up one-handed -one hand has to grasp the bottom of the case to help guide the zipper up its track. Admittedly, this sounds like a first world problem, but it means that there's no way to quickly close the bag while holding the camera that you've just pulled out.
Second, the female parts of the clips that close the sides of the bag aren't well secured. On one side, one of the little plastic inserts (three prong) that holds it in broke. Not surprisingly, a week afterwards, it was gone. So now I've got one side of the snap flying free. Again, no real way to repair it unless you can find the precise part somewhere. I couldn't.
Lastly, the top folds down and snaps shut. At the point of the fold, the bag material can't put up with the strain of being folded/unfolded and has started to wear through. I expect this will mean the end of the waterproofing when it does.
So the search for the perfect bag continues. I had high hopes for Crumpler, and shelled out for what is clearly meant to be a premium bag. Because of these fundamental flaws, and the way it has worn over the year, I recommend looking elsewhere.

Manhattan Portage Nylon Laptop Sleeve
ThanksI really liked this sleeve. Unfortunately the battery that stuck out the back of my ThinkPad made my machine too big for the sleeve. However, as long as you have the correct dimensions, the sleeve seems very well made.
I find a lot of technology cases look tacky and "gadgety" but this one looks clean and classic. It's slim appearance belies the fact that it can actually hold a thicker laptop.

High Sierra Tech Series 59404 Titan 55 Internal Frame Pack
UPDATE 9/17/12. The 3 day bakpacking trip was a success. We loved our bags. Very roomy and adjustable. Found them to be durable and functional. I would recommend this pack to anyone.At $67 this pack was a steal in my opinion. I was in need of a pack capable of 2-3 night backpacking trips and this one didn't disappoint. I recently used the Titan 55 on a 3 day 2 night backpacking trip in the grand canyon and it held up perfectly. I was able to hike 24miles round trip with roughly 30lbs of gear quite comfortably. The straps were padded and comfy, the zippers never got stuck, and the compression straps on the outside were great for strapping on extra gear. Some of the threading and buckles seem a bit cheap, but at under $70 I can't complain too much.

This is a nice starter Back pack for the money. The contruction is pretty good, and it holds a decent amout of gear. You can't stick a Wiggy's 0 degree sleeping bag in it but I doubt many packs could handle it. The connecting hardware seems to be alittle on the light/cheap side, but light wieght is a good thing when every oz counts. I really like that the pack shoulder straps can be adjusted to fit the user. The shoulder straps are connected to the pack via a ladder system, similiar to Eberlestock packs. This comes in handy since I purchased this pack for my daughter. The pack has aluminum support stays that can also be removed and bent to fine tune the pack to the user. This is a big plus, but putting stays back in was difficult. The stays have little plastic caps on the ends of them and when I pulled out the aluminum stay the bottom plastic cap came off and I had to slowly work it out of the channel at the bottom of the pack up to the top, PIA and another reason it took away a star. This isn't a high end Gregory or Kelty etc but it is a good pack never the less at least in my humble opinion so much so that I purchased another. Oh and one more thing I really like the pouches built into the hip belt and the smaller cell phone carrier built into the shoulder strap. Nice feature.Read Best Reviews of High Sierra Tech Series 59404 Titan 55 Internal Frame Pack Here
This backpack holds everything I think I might possibly need and has room to spare! Holds my sleeping bag (about 10' round by 12" long) Therm-a-rest ridge rest pad, blanket, and long johns/wool socks all in the main compartment. In the external pockets I've got room for a mess kit, hobo tool, sierra saw, camp shovel, first aid kit, matches/lighters, multi-tool, and pocket knife with at least 2 medium and 1 small pockets to spare. I've strapped a machete, camp chair, and tent to the outside. Very comfortable to wear with the adjustable shoulder straps. I haven't had a chance to try it out in the field yet, but I can tell the quality of it's construction. It really seems like they thought of everything when designing this pack. A great deal at most any price, especially $100 less than similar packs at some sporting goods stores.Want High Sierra Tech Series 59404 Titan 55 Internal Frame Pack Discount?

Littlelife Runabout Toddler Daypack
The dimensions listed (9 x 7 x 2 inches) are mostly accurate, except that the pack is slightly hump shaped, so the two-inch interior depth tapers down towards the top.
For an 14 to 18 month old who wants to help, this pack would be perfect: padded "just right" on the straps and back, quality materials and durable construction to survive a little rough handling and dragging, plus the leash...
However, for our 34 inch tall, 30 pound, not-quite 2½ year-old, it was obviously too small as soon as we opened the package.
What will the Littlelife hold? We were hoping he could carry his knit nap blanket in it, but it's necessary to literally stuff it in (the blanket is about 2x3 feet). Two or three board books, or a small lunch, or a hat and a pullover all are about the ideal sized load. And actually, that's not bad for day-tripping. But is it smaller than a bread box? Definitely -it's too small to hold an average sized loaf of bread (cut me some slack -trying to think of some common frame of reference).
I'll next try a Wildkin Pack 'n Snack Backpack, which has roughly twice the capacity. Undecided if the Littlelife will stick around (possibly in anticipation of our youngest son using it once he's of the right age and ability), or if it's going back. I definitely like everything about this Littlelife except for the capacity.This is an adorable little backpack, perfect for my two-year-old. When it arrived I thought it would be way too small. It looked doll-sized, but when I put it on my little man it filled his back. Any bigger and I think it would be cumbersome. I was able to put his lunch and toy tractor in it and I had room to spare. The size specs on Amazon didn't seem to match the Littlelife website so I was worried Amazon was selling an older/smaller version (I don't know if one actually exists), but the bag I received seemed to match the slightly large dimensions from the manufacturers website: 4½x6¾x10¼". It is largest at the bottom and then tapers up, but that size seems to suit the body of a little toddler. Overall, I'm pleased with the size and the quality.

I bought this backpack before my son (almost 2 yrs old) and I took our first plane ride. I was worried about how to handle him and my luggage through the airport. This backpack was great! It made him feel like a "big boy" with his backpack on and I was able to keep him close to me in the busy airport. He didn't even notice that I had the strap attached to his backpack. Allowing him to walk through the airport made it so he WANTED to sit once we got on the airplane. My only "complaint" about it is I wish the handle was retractable vs the fixed vinyl strap. The backpack is big enough to hold a diaper or two, some wipes and a few snacks. It fits him just perfectly, not too big or too small, with a firm clip in the front. Very cute design! Highly recommended!Read Best Reviews of Littlelife Runabout Toddler Daypack Here
My wife and I love this little backpack. Yes it's small, very small. Prior to ordering it, I knew it would be small. When I first saw it, I was still shocked at how small it was. I guess I am just used to adult backpacks, so the size difference was startling. The size, however, is perfect! My daughter is 13 months old, 29" tall and has about 9" from her neck to her diaper, and this backpack fits her back perfectly. She enjoys wearing it, and every time we put it on her, she wants to go outside and walk around. I can't imagine my daughter wearing a larger backpack. This one is simply perfect for her.Instead of constantly carrying around a diaper bag (that we seem to always over pack), we decided to downsize to this backpack and get by with the bare essentials while we are in places (we keep the diaper bag in the car now). We can get an outfit, wipes, 2 diapers, and a water bottle in there.
I have not had any issues with this backpack. My daughter has shown no complaints with the backpack, other than when she first started wearing it. I could see where the handle on the top of the backpack could be irritating (it rubs against the back of her head), but she has not complained about it. We do not use the leash, so I cannot attest to whether it is good or bad.
Also, I guess the animal or insect that is located on the side of the bag is random. I ordered the red one thinking that it would have bees on it. The one I have has a squirrel, so I guess you should not expect to get the same animal you see on the pictures on Amazon.

We commute to work/daycare by public transit. At one end of our commute is a 0.5 mile walk through parks and busy streets. Our son, who is now 2 years old, has become increasingly independent. He wants so very badly to walk with us rather than riding in the stroller. But expecting a 2 year old to walk that entire distance and constantly hold your hand isn't reasonable. He wants to explore, to touch the world around him, to stoop down to inspect a ladybug. The constant push and pull of trying to keep him safe when we crossed busy streets but letting him walk on his own when we're somewhere safe was taxing on all of us. So we took a chance and ordered him this little backpack.Wow what a payoff!
He's thrilled to be carrying his own lunch just like mommy & daddy, we feel comfortable letting him walk beside us without having to always hold hands because the tether strap keeps him from going more than a few feet from our sides.
The pack is very well made with the same sort of details that go into an adult sized pack. The materials are of good quality with a well made zipper and beefy nylon fabric that won't wear out any time soon. The chest buckle keeps the straps firmly in place on his little shoulders as well as turning the pack into a harness that he can't get out of on his own. I looked before buying and most of the other toddler with a parent tether strap don't have the buckle to keep your kid from slipping out of the shoulder straps and taking off across a street without you. The inside of the bag is just big enough for our son to carry a 12oz kid sized Nalgene Tritan full of milk, a 12 oz insulated Thermos for his warm lunch, and a small plastic box with some fruit and pretzels in it.
All in all, I expect we're going to be getting a couple years of use out of this great little bag before he outgrows it and passes it on to a younger sibling!

Eco Traveler Eco Traveler 17" Expandable Solar Laptop Briefcase
After 4 hours of charging, the removable and rechargeable battery had no charge. 4 hours should yield enough power from the surface area of
this panel to re-power a small battery on a cell phone or otherwise but this was not the case. After 4 hours of direct UVA/B light, the battery remained
uncharged. It's a handsome backpack but the cargo space is poor. The problem with this and many other products is that the battery does not
hold its charge as well. Typically, rechargeable batteries lost their charge when not in use. Once, a few months ago, I was able to get a charge... but
just once. The battery sold with this bag is typical in that it does not hold its charge. However it is atypical in that it does not charge hardly at all.
It's not worth half of its vanity price. I would want a clear return policy for any solar-powered device. This was a gift. The U.S. military has successfully
developed solar-powered field-tested flexible solar-powering sheeting and will hopefully soon share that technology with the average consumer. The sooner they
do, the less crippled we feel by the cost of expensive gasoline and fighting expensive wars. Solar power is patriotic.Bag came with a small usb that I need to buy other adopters for my Gal tap & laps...
