Angry Birds 16" Backpack Red with Orange Bow & BONUS FOLDER & NOTEBOOK Bundle

Angry Birds 16' Backpack Red with Orange Bow & BONUS FOLDER & NOTEBOOK BundleMy 6 year old has been using this backpack for a couple of months and its holding up great, it didn't seem all that durable when it arrived but it's doing real good. The extra binders/folders are a terrific bonus, it's not that easy to find good quality angry bird merchandise or this price.

It's also very big and spacious, much more then I expected.

It was great that this came with a folder and notepad, my daughter is now using it to go back to school and as far as I know he likes it and its holding up. Good purchase, if you like angry birds.

This set really made my daughter happy. She's a big fan of the Angry Birds game and a much bigger fanatic of the accessories inspired by it. That's why when we bought her this themed backpack bundle, she couldn't stop jumping up and down in delight. She couldn't wait to use it for school and show it off to all of her friends. And I really think that the orange satin bow on the backpack is very attractive. It makes the bag look more feminine and pleasant.

Great sturdy backpack, colorful and fun. I put the folder and notepad inside before giving as a gift, and they were a great surprise! We adjusted the straps to make it really comfortable. Perfect for toddlers in school or as a collectible.

We all know how popular the game 'angry birds' is nowadays. In fact, it has invaded the field of fashion and other things as well. This bundle is a great example of how well-known these birds have become in a fair amount of time. Which is why I really think that this product makes a great gift idea for the kids and to those who are young at heart. In fact, I've already ordered one set for my daughter. I can't wait to see her face when the package gets here.

Tumi Luggage Alpha Travel Tote Bag

Tumi Luggage Alpha Travel Tote Bag, Black, MediumBought this tote because I needed something for everyday use besides having a bag I can travel with as well. I take my iPad everywhere with me and there are lots of places I can find to put it in to make it more handy to get to, or to secure it inside the tote when I travel. It is a perfect size for what I need. The material is very strong and durable. I'm sure ill be using this for many years to come. I recommend this bag to men or women!

I was somewhat uncertain about this bag at first. You should know that I'm quite a "bag nut" and have carried a man bag ever since I got my first iPad because I wanted it with me always. I'm a photographer so I also carry a digital camera (the Sony RX100 with case that I got on Amazon of course). Then there's the chargers, for my iPad (with the excellent Apple iPad case), iPhone, Sony camera, and even a USB cable for friends with an Android device. The stuff adds up.

I have several bags. Sometimes I switch them out as I get tired of the same bag all the time. Guess I've noticed ladies do this and probably picked up the trait from my wife and daughter as they filled the closet with their bags. Well, mine are functional, not necessarily stylist, which is what this bag really is -functional.

Some stats that may help you decide about this bag: Closed and empty it is 13 1/4" long, 10 1/2" side to side, 5" wide at the bottom and 4" wide at the top. These are outside dimensions. Subtract maybe an inch for inside dimensions. Also if you open up the zippered expander, add 3" to the width dimensions. Expanded, this is a big bag. Empty it weighs in at 2 pounds, 9 ounces. The strap is a good quality nylon and is 1 1/2" wide by 57" long fully lengthened. Plenty of strap for cross-carry, which is how I usually carry it. But being nylon, it will easily slip off from and side carry. The strap also does not have padding. Tumi should have equipted this otherwise excellent bag with one of their padded straps they use for their other bags. I have several Tumi bags and those straps are much better if you are planning to use this bag and fill it with stuff as it will get heavy and the padding will be necessary. I'd recommend the Victorinox Comfort Fit Shoulder Strap, Black, which is an 1 1/2" wide strap and long enough for cross carry also. Also available on Amazon of course. The Tumi strap is removable, making this substitution easy (by the way, I don't get anything from Amazon for these "plugs." I just find what I want there and love the Prime shipping and instant video so I use it a lot). I subtracted one star for the strap deficiency.

Inside the main compartment is a voluminous cavern of space to stow mucho stuff. It begs to be packed into. You can carry your iPad (the larger one, or the mini) in the separate compartment or use one of the outer compartments for quicker retrieval. Interestingly, and conveniently, Tumi put a compartment that runs the entire length of the bag on the inside of each handle (there are two, one on each outside where the handles are). They are lined, but not zippered. Also on the outside of the bag, facing front like the picture, are two zippered compartments. These are very much like those found on other Tumi carriers, although, as another reviewer mentioned, they are not very wide and do not intrude into the main compartment much (I, as that other reviewer, would like more room here, even it it intrudes into the main compartment). The top, u-shaped, zippered compartment opens up to another zippered compartment that runs down to the bottom of the bag, as does the u-shaped compartment it is contained in. Nice for doubling up on the secure storing of important items. There is also a key fob in the u-shaped compartment and two open pockets for pens and things. The pocket on the right fits my iPhone 4S with Pong case. It is 3 3/4" wide and does not extent to the bottom of the bag, but contains the iPhone completely as it is 4" deep. It should fit the iPhone 5 as well, since the iPhone 5 is thinner. The left pocket is an inch less in width and does not fit the iPhone 4S unless you squeeze it in. Between them is a pocket for a pen. On the other side of the bag is a "compartment" that is zippered on the top and bottom so you can use this to slide the bag onto your rolling luggage handle -really useful for a bag this size especially if fully loaded. But be careful not to put stuff in there and then open up the bottom zipper. I intend to use this "compartment" only for luggage carry.

I've put a great deal of effort and information in this review as this is an expensive bag and, if you're like me, you like to read Amazon reviews and be totally informed before buying. Even though Amazon has a speedy and reasonable return process, you don't want to use this unnecessarily. Hope you enjoyed this review and will benefit from it. I'm keeping the bag and, as it is Tumi quality, expect to have this for a long, long time. I've used Tumi for decades and have never wore one out in my many travels around the globe.

I bought this because I commute between the U.S. and Ukraine. In the Ukraine, I carry a "man-bag" which is more the custom and much less in my pockets. I bought this to augment my Tumi Alpha Bravo Lemoore Wheeled Backpack. I had tried using more of a briefcase but wanted some a little smaller for my flights. It is harder and harder to put two bags in the overheads in economy class. This works perfect since it fits under the seat nicely even when fully expanded and leaves me a little room for my feet. Fully expanded, it holds quite a bit of stuff and it stores everything that I want inflight in it then some. Compressed, it holds everything that I want to carry around as well.

As a man-bag/purse (compressed), it is a little heavier than my prior levi's bag but it is made of much higher quality materials and is more versatile. Also, I find the pockets for storing my credentials/checkbooks to be flatter than I would have liked and I can barely squeeze in the minimum that I wanted to carry in them. I do wish that Tumi had provided for more than a centimeter in depth of those pockets even if they were to expand back into the main pocket. I would have given 5 stars if the pockets were more to my liking.

However, my two complaints are not stopping me from using and enjoying the bag. It is certainly made to Tumi's high standards and works quite well in conjunction with my Tumi Alpha Bravo Lemoore Wheeled Backpack.

It has been a while since I wrote this review. This bag is still wonderful and traveled with me to the Ukraine and back. Everything worked great. Just wanted to add that I bought a couple of Eagle Creek Travel Gear Pack-It Tube Cube to help me organize my stuff inside. They fit perfectly side by side and make it so that everything is not just on the bottom of the bag.

G.P.S. Medium Range Bag, Black

G.P.S. Medium Range Bag, BlackI am not naturally organized so this bag is perfect for me. There are icons all through the bag that guide you to what you are looking for. When you are paying for time on the range you can spend your time shooting and not digging through your bag to find what you need. There are storage areas for your glasses,hearing protection,targets,magazines,etc.

I would highly recommend this product.

I loved the bag when it arrived. It has all compartments marked with plenty of internal storage as well as outside pockets for magazines, ear muffs, etc. I have purchased 2 other range bags for my hand gun storage for shooting, but by far this one has everything that you can possibly need. ALL CLEARLY MARKED so you are not having to open every pocket to remember when you put something. It also has a hard bottom, sturdy casing which holds its shape.

Buy G.P.S. Medium Range Bag, Black Now

While I typically go to the range with just a small bag (J-frame, box of cartridges and muffs, etc), more was needed when my wife decided to learn to shoot and acquired her own pistol. Most of the bags I looked at were far bigger than what I felt was needed; this has so far been perfect for our needs without breaking the bank. It easily swallows two of everything with room to spare. The bag abounds with many thoughtful features, some that weren't apparent from simply looking at the picture. Oh, and it's good-looking, too; the splashes of color are attractive.

I bought this bag from WALMART on sale for $45.00! It is awesome. It has cups velcro'ed to the inside of the front pocket im assuming its to keep brass in but im not sure. I wish they gave some type of literature explaining where and what everything is. Hell i didnt even know there was a shoulder strap hidden in the side pocket until i had to use it. Its very durable and has pockets for ear plugs and eye protection, then larger pocket for electronic or passive large ear muffs. My .44mag, .40 and .38 all full size, fit nicely in this bag. It was a steal at the price walmart had it for but i woul have still paid up to $75 for it, the quality of the stitching is very well done.

Want G.P.S. Medium Range Bag, Black Discount?

The picture and description of this item is very misleading. This is only the bag, and has no extra items in it, other than ammo cups and a small parts box. That is the way I like it, too. I'm sure if this bag came with all or even some of the items, they would be the cheap stuff.

Now for my review:

I checked out many other range bags from Blackhawk, 5.11, and others, and I found this bag and just felt so relieved when I did.

This bag has some shape to it, the other bags were all flimsy. The other thing is the "visual aid system" that helps you organize your things. The bag looks great, but is not that "subdued tactical" with the red zipper pulls, but I didn't buy the bag for looks, I bought it for what it does: It holds A LOT of things in a very organized way.

This bag has one large compartment in the middle accessed from the top, with ear plug pouches and a safety glasses pouch on the flap; two side pockets the height of the bag, with additional small pockets on the sides of the side pockets and lift ports; a front pocket with five pistol mag holders, solvent or CLP elastic holders, cleaning rod holders, and a zippered pocket inside for other supplies; and a back side that has ammo cups, small parts box, key clip, and small tool zippered pouch. It also comes with a shoulder strap. This makes for a bag around 13"x12"x9" aprx.

I have a picture of the bag and items that I have put inside, but it can hold even more. I can put 10 AR type mags, with 5 pistol mags, 8 hi-cap and 6 regular capacity .22LR mags. Around 200 rounds .40S&W, 200 rounds .223, and over 1000 rounds of .22LR. That's not including if you load your mags before putting them in your bag. I also have a full size pistol that fits in the bag with everything else.

I hope this helps in deciding what bag to get. Some other reviewers said you could buy this bag at Wal-Mart, but they don't have them anymore. These bags are kind of like ammo; scarce.

"OAKLEY" Status Pack

'OAKLEY' Status PackThe laptop bag is well constructed and is stylish. I am a big fan of Oakley and this backpack did not disappoint. It provides numerous compartments to store your accessories. My only small complaint is the laptop compartment is a bit tight. Currently I have an oversized laptop with and extended battery. That will be going away soon and I am sure my new smaller laptop will fit just fine. Good backpack, very cool look, Oakley quality.

Wildkin Horses in Pink High Roller Rolling Backpack

Wildkin Horses in Pink High Roller Rolling BackpackI bought this to replace a small rolling LL Bean bookbag for my daughter. She loves it, it's huge, the design is better than the LL Bean bag. It has a spot at the top for an MP3 player but the pocket is huge and could be used for a wallet or an iphone. The handle is very long and the bag far is enough off the ground that it doesn't get wet when it rains. A big problem with the other bag. I loved the LL Bean bag but this bag beats it outright. I would buy it again if I needed another bag. You should buy one too.

This Wildkin bag is plenty big for all of my daughters things, and the handle is sturdy so that she can pull over curbs etc. The material is durable, and the colors of the bag are bright. Great bag, and worth the cost!

SLAPPA Kampus Duffle 18" Laptop Backpack

Slappa Kampus 18-Inch Backpack for Laptop - Silver/BlackHaving purchased the ASUS G73SW, which is a beefy laptop, I found myself looking for a better/bigger backpack than the black Republic of Gamers one that came with the computer. Finding a backpack that even FITS this computer was a challenge in itself, let alone one that has features/styling that I like. When I saw this backpack on Slappa's site, I was immediately in love with the design and colors. Obviously not a subtle design, this will turn some heads and get you some comments. Thankfully its not a bag that screams "I'm carrying a massive laptop", although being flashy it may attract unwanted attention all the same. I have owned this bag for a year now, and have flown with it, taken it on various long trips and day-to-day trips into the office.

COMFORT/WEARABILITY I'm a big guy, so carrying around a heavy laptop along with power brick, etc. on my back doesn't faze me. This backpack is definitely comfortable. I like the strap design, and find it to be comfortable (not the BEST I've ever worn, but still good). It comes with a sternum strap, which is nice when you need it, but it definitely gets in the way when you're not using it. It also has a waist strap, which I rarely use, so it's always in the way. It would be nice if there were a way to remove the waist strap without simply cutting it off. The big cushy handprint that sits in the middle of your back while strange feeling at first eventually grows on you, and now I love it being there.

SPACE USEFULNESS Here is where I believe this backpack falls short for my particular needs. I was hoping for a backpack that had a bit more useful space. What you need to know is that this bag is very low-profile and doesn't extend off your back very far. It also opens only at the top, essentially making this like opening a duffel bag at one end. Once your laptop is in there, it can be easy to lose stuff at the bottom if you try to store a bunch of other things in there. There are only 6 pockets (not all of which are usable) 2 small ones inside (about the size of a smart phone), a mesh pouch inside the lid, 2 outside pockets on either side (which aren't even accessible really when you have a computer in the bag), and one larger one on the outside at the bottom. That's it. No pen pockets or organizers if you're a student and have a bunch of small items. Also the interior space just isn't all that big with a laptop in there. The laptop compartment literally takes up almost half of the internal space of this backpack. If you're going on a day trip and want to take your laptop and charger, a change or two of clothes and a few other small items, that's about all you'll be able to fit. I can barely even fit my DSLR (Canon 60D) down in there with the lens pointing down. It's pretty deep, just not very tall. Also, while I like the way the top closes (drawstring, flap over top with 2 clips), sometimes it isn't easy to get to your laptop quickly. And with the way that the straps/buckles that secure this top flap are designed, you have to be careful to make sure you always have the top flap secured or else you might lose the male end of the buckles (they slip right off the ends of the straps).

LAPTOP COMPARTMENT The laptop compartment is great. Nice thick padding and my G73 fits great in the 18" version that I have (there's actually a bit of room to spare, so sometimes I slide my tablet in there as well). I'd like to see a bit more padding on the bottom in case of accidental drops or setting the bag down hard, but I haven't had any issues in the past 12 months. I'm glad the top has a flap, because some bags don't, so if the bag gets turned upside down, out comes your laptop.

MATERALS/DURABILITY First of all, you will be surprised by how lightweight the material in this bag is. It looks kinda like the ripstop material that they use in BDUs or heavy-duty shorts. I was concerned at first about how long the bag was going to last considering how light it was and how heavy my laptop is, and while I wouldn't say I've treated it roughly, I certainly haven't babied it the last year and have had no issues with tears or seams coming apart. Really, the bag almost looks brand new aside from a few issues. I'm not certain, but I don't believe that the material is water-proof, so I wouldn't suggest exposing it to prolonged rain. I've run through the rain before without any issues. The laptop is pretty safe underneath multiple layers of fabric anyway. I believe Slappa sells a waterproof cover for cyclists. You'll have to check out their website. I like the drawstring design for the top of the bag, but this is easily the weakest part of the design. Within a few months, the elastic in my drawstring began to pull apart. It still works, but I think it won't be too long before the string gives way completely. And, the most annoying part of the bag for me... WHY IS THERE NO PADDING ON THE TOP HANDLE?!?! I know Slappa's other bags have padding here, and frankly, there's no reason for this bag not to have a padded handle except to save money. The silly strap handle that's on there works fine when you are carrying the bag by that for 5 seconds, but any longer than that and it gets really uncomfortable. I often find myself grabbing the bag my anything but that handle.

Overall, I think it's a great bag. I'd say it's really more of a 3.5 than a 4,but Amazon doesn't give that option. Your appreciation of this bag will largely depend on your expectations. If you're looking for a stylish, lightweight, comfortable bag to carry your behemoth laptop and not a whole lot else, then this bag might be perfect for you. If you need something that carries a bit more, I recommend checking out Slappa's MASK backpack, which has customizable front faces and the nice fast track feature for quicker screening of your laptop at airport security checkpoints. Also, Slappa has great customer service, so make sure you ask if you have any questions or concerns. I found them to be very helpful and courteous. And also, sign up for their newsletter so you can get a promo code before you buy.

Great mag and hold my G75vx, power adapter, creative labs USB recon 3d sound card, razer tiamata 2.2 headphones, Nostromo gamepad, log itch g9 mouse, mouse pad. Still has room for more!

The material it is made out of is kind of strange, kind of crinkly tarp type material. Its nice just different.

The bag feels well built and is roomy inside. I bought this for a Dell XPS 18. I contacted Slappa's customer service and I was told that this backpack will fit the computer. The computer does fit inside but the velcro flap for the computer compartment will not close I just wish that the flap was around 5 inches longer. I still give this five stars as it seems that there is really not much choice out there for an 18+ inch laptop/tablet as of this review. I'm keeping the XPS 18 with a sleeve in the bag for added protection. This is made in China.

Case Logic UNS-116 16-Inch Laptop Sleeve (Dark Gray)

Case Logic UNS-116 16-Inch Laptop SleeveI do love this sleeve. I guess I was thinking it was more like a case (since it has handles) but in fairness, it does say sleeve. It just barely fits my 15.4 inch computer. Snug fit. My only complaint is the front pocket zipper seems very flimsy and is tough to zip closed. I am expecting it to break in the not-so-distant future. The zipper is more like the zipper you would find on a slinky evening dress, not a computer bag. Maybe it is more durable than I think, we will see. Still, the pocket can hold my computer charger, because it is small. Probably wouldn't hold older models of 15.4 computers and chargers. As a sleeve only, very nice.

I am very happy with this product. It fits my 15in Toshiba laptop with a battery pack perfectly. There is no pulling at the seam because of the battery pack that has happened with other types of sleeves. There is padding on the sides and bottom which is nice. I also like that the material is more durable than neoprene and is less likely to rip. I also like the pocket on the front for small cords and a travel mouse. The only draw back is the padding is a little think on the front and back which makes it a little bulking but it still fits in my backpack nicely with other books and things. Over all I am very happy with this product and would recommend it to a friend.

This is a great case for my laptop. Lightweight. I even love the color like a dark charcoal. I just wish there was a way to make these cases just a bit bigger so that you can carry the power cord with them. I end up having to carry a purse big enough to handle the cord. It has just the right amount of padding to protect the laptop and looks great. I would definitely recommend it and would butit again.

Dakine 6.5-Litre Cosmo Pack

Dakine 6.5-Litre Cosmo PackThe reason why I bought this pack, was I wanted something small and light weight that I could easily take with me on an outing instead of my purse. This is exactly what I needed. It easily holds my 20oz Klean Kanteen, camera, phone and all my other purse items.

One of the reason I was a little weary of buying this pack was I wasn't sure exactly how the insides looked like and if it was big enough to fit my needs. I am happy that after buying it, it does in fact. But, I have added two pictures to show exactly what the insides look like since I couldn't find any online when I was purchasing.

The back opening has a little zip pouch for change or possibly personal stuff and an open area for water bottle, camera, etc. The front opening has three narrow pouches for pencils and pens, a larger pouch to the side with a zip mesh pouch on top of that. There is also a larger pouch behind all those possibly for small papers. There is also a zipped up area on the opposite side. So, there is plenty of places to put things.

The back doesn't have much padding so it is a bit bumpy to my back depending on what I put in it. But, that doesn't bother me. I am just glad to have this for use of hiking or going on a boat ride and now having to worry about all my stuff getting lost because it is on my back.

I LOVE this backpack, it is the perfect size for a small day use pack/purse. I plan on using it for a little of both. It is not large at all, do not think of this as a school backpack unless it is for a small child and all they are carrying is lunch and some extras, large books will not fit. Having said that, it will fit a full sized camera, along with a light jacket and water bottle, plus pockets for wallet, keys, phone and other goodies.

It's great for travel, very easy to carry, unlike a full sized backpack that would completely take up your whole lap or a seat, this is 1/3 the size. The colors are beautiful and the quality is very well made. No regrets.

Good sized bag for short hikes or a day out. Good replacement for a purse and will hold a 0.5L bottle of water and a small snack with room left.

I got the Helix which I don't see around often but have received complements on.

I love the colors because my other bag was pastel and got dirty noticeably for my husband to actually understand why I was washing it. The space is ample to carry my kindle, cell phone, garmin GPS plus car charger, wallet, 2 glasscases, with more room for pens, candy, misc. I use the outside carry strap for a caliper that carries my car and house keys. I am all set as if, and there is still room for more. Love the price and the quality is definitely there. I am not tall and so having an appropriately sized purse like this feels good. Also, have to add that I love having my hands free when I am in the grocery store and do not have to leave the purse in the cart. That stress is gone because of this backpack style purse.

Designer Sleeves 13-Inch Autumn Birds Laptop Case (13DS-AUTB)

Designer Sleeves 13-Inch Autumn Birds Laptop CaseFirst, I love this sleeve. Beautiful design, good cushion for a laptop and I loved that there is an outside pocket for power cord and such.

I searched for 15.6" laptop sleeves for the new Asus I ordered. I did not realize that the choices included other sizes as well this was the only design in a laptop sleeve that really caught my eye and I was excited to order it.

Unfortunately, it seemed rather small upon arrival, and when my laptop arrived a few days later it confirmed the sleeve is inches too small.

Now I have to debate whether I want to pay 8.48 in UPS shipping to return, OR contemplating using it to cary file folders and catalogs for my business since the plastic accordian file I have is busted, and it appears this could expand and possibly work.

BBP Hamptons Hybrid Messenger/Backpack Laptop Bag Obsidian Black Large

BBP Hamptons Hybrid Messenger/Backpack Laptop Bag Obsidian Black LargeI got this bag finally after a long time of thinking about it. I could never bring myself to get it based on how much it cost. But I finally broke down and treated myself to it and I have not been disappointed.

I love the "backpack" type of double shoulder straps. I'm a golfer and have had a similar setup on my golf bag for 10-15 years. It's a very comfortable way to carry weight for a long time period.

I think this bag would be perfect for people that live in a city and walk to work, or to a college student that needs to walk around campus carrying a few books and their laptop.

The bag is laid out very well and the buckles are very easy to use.

Only two things I'd "complain" about the bag:

1) I do not believe it's the end all be all of bags that some online sites will tell you it is. That's just my opinion and perhaps that's because I'm not the target audience for the product. However, I still think it's worth the money if you have a heavy laptop and want a more comfortable way of carrying it.

2) There is no dedicated pouch for the laptop power supply other than the main compartment. This makes it a bit awkward to put the power supply in there when you have a large notebook and some other items, but it will fit. Would have been good had they been able to figure out an external pouch specifically for the supply. But again, this is not a deal breaker for me.

PROS: The Hamptons bag is very roomy and has good quality stitching and finishing. I especially like the external pockets for easy access to smaller devices like PDAs or cell phones. One clever feature is the use of an orange interior. The orange reflects light and makes it easier to find things inside the bag.

CONS: The bag is advertised as being both a backpack & messenger bag. But the shoulder strap is designed in such a way that it makes messenger bag carry very cumbersome and uncomfortable. When shortening the strap as instructed, it leaves slack that's either left dangling or bunched up. It not only looks bad but also gets in the way. What also gets in the way is the big plastic buckle & button strap (used for back pack mode) on the strap that is also left dangling. Also there is no padding in the middle of the strap, so when you carry the bag messenger-bag style, the strap bites into your shoulder. The padding only works when you carry backpack-style. This problem would be solved if BumBakPak had two separate straps instead of one "all-in-one" strap. Speaking of straps, contrary to the company ads, this bag WILL bounce against your bum when wearing it as a backpack...unless you also use the included hip & sternum straps. I also noticed that some of the smaller pockets on the Hamptons bag have thin nylon and are unlined on the inside. Over time these pockets will wear out faster than the rest of the bag. Finally I have a minor beef. BumBakPak went cheap and only put zipper pulls on the zippers on the outside of the bag. The interior zippers have no pulls, it's up to you to make your own with paracord or shoelaces. Come on BumBakPak! These pulls cost less than $0.10 a piece! Cheapos!

The Hamptons Hybrid (L size) is a decent big bag with lots of room and pockets. Carrying your junk in an organized way is a snap. But bottom line with the included strap makes the Back Pack mode good, Messenger Bag mode bad!

I have been going back and forth about buying this bag since I hadn't found one in-store to look at. After reading so many reviews I decided to purchase it(sight unseen)from another online store since Amazon no longer carries it. All I can say is...wow.

I was concerned that my 17" Macbook Pro laptop would not fit. I was very surprised that it worked! I even have the clear case on the laptop. It is a snug fit, but who cares? It has enough pockets to hold everything I need for school. It has pen/pencil slots, cellphone pocket, a place for my iPod, books, laptop, water bottle, umbrella, etc.

It has 2 different sized water bottle mesh pockets, so you can carry a small 12-20 oz. bottle in one, or a 1 litre in the other (just not at the same time). It has another pouch on the other side that is not mesh for additional storage. It has straps on the inside of the flap to hold an umbrella (which is important where I am). There is a back slot that will hold file folders, or thin notebooks. There are 4 slots for pens/pencils. Numerous pockets to fit powercords, battery, headphones, and just about anything else you can think of.

I was afraid I wouldn't find anything to replace my favorite backpack (Swissgear) that it is falling apart. I have no worries now. This is a great replacement, and it will hold my monster laptop that the Swissgear backpack wouldn't.

I have seen some reviews that indicate there are no directions on how to convert the strap from single strap to the backpack strap. That is not true. There are instructions supplied on the attached paper tags. Converting the straps was very simple. They even put a tag on the umbrella straps to let you know what they were for. This is a pretty great bag.

Since I just got it I can't attest to comfort yet, but will update after I have used it for awhile. I got this for a good price ($69.99), and it has everything I need. If you are looking for a good bag to hold your large laptop, this could just be what you were looking for. I would even use this for traveling, as it can be hooked into the handle of your rolling luggage (like in the pictures).

Update**After using the bag the past week the only complaint I have is where they have the umbrella straps. I realize they don't want a wet umbrella ruining your papers, but how they have it now makes the front flap stick out too far, and it makes closing it awkward. It would be nice just to have the straps about 5-6" higher. Otherwise, no complaints. Still really like this bag.

I'm not quite 5'3" and this bag looked utterly ridiculous on me because of the size. I liked the amount of pockets, but really there are better options out there. I bought a Skooba after this one, and returned it as well. Finally, I've landed on the Booq Mamba less pain than a shoulder bag, sleeker and sexier than the bumbackpack, and the best organization I've found so far. I use it for laptop, book, peripherals, moleskine, water bottle, and other sundries.

It is still holding up and he has very thick and heavy books. I hope it makes it longer then one year like his other "cheaper" ones.

Dakine Small Campus Pack

Dakine Campus Pack Laptop BackpackI was worried the 'small' one wouldn't be large enough when I bought it. Turns out, it is exactly the size I was looking for. It fits a 13" macbook and everything you need to carry around as a theoretical physicist in grad school without looking bulky. The base is not large enough to stay upright without support, so you will have to lean it against something, but I guess that's not unusual for a backpack.

Wellll,

I was looking for a small-ish backpack that would hold my 13" MBP. Because of the small selection of cool backpacks that meet this requirement in my country I opted to buy online (which was arduous) After searching I singled out Dakine as the my preferred brand of choice, and it turned out to be a great one.

Amazon were the only ones which would sell it to me internationally, good quick delivery etc etc

The bag is amazing, low profile, great amount of space, cushioned laptop sleeve. Not to many little unusable spaces; seems like they designed it specifically for me. Its strong, feels good when walking around (although with a laptop and lecture books it can be a bit heavy being denim and all). The straps are sturdy and mummy says that the stitchings all good on them (yay). I got the denim one cos I thought it looked the best but all of them were pretty snazzy, Dakine know how to make nice looking bags.

Two issues with it I stained the demin when i left one of my red biros without a lid in it, now the denims blood stained looking. oh well. Secondly, the laptop sleeve isnt really that well fitting for my small laptop so I put my laptop in one of those padded case thingies before i put it in, unfortunately the case has a zip that catchs on the bags interior material whenever i pull it out, hence some not so nice rips in my new bag. *sigh*

All in all its perfect for me and I can't see anyone have the same problems as I did. Its pretty awesome having a bag no one else at school has because they don't sell them here. Hopefully use it right through college and Uni. If not then id happy buy another one

Lukke.

The small version is a little too small for me and the pencil holders dont really work because they are too tight or shallow for nearly every writing utensil. Other then that is is a quality dakine product and the look is VERY cool.

I bought this backpack for my 6th grader. It's the perfect size and is very durable. The Rasta colors are subtle, which is perfect. I wanted to make sure not to buy the bright Rasta colors just in case he got tired of it (because I'm not buying another backpack until this one is worn out)! Keep in mind this is a smaller backpack. It's perfect for kids that don't have too much to carry.Dakine Small Campus Pack

Great backpack. I had something like this in mind and it came to life with this product! Small and compact, which I like, yet holds a good amount of school books and slim laptop. Nice look and color. My only complaint really are the extremely long straps on arms which look out of place and excessive. Other than that amazing!

DURAGADGET Purple Ultra Protection Water Resistant Laptop Carry Case For Dell Vostro 3500 15.6", Ma

DURAGADGET Purple Ultra Protection Water Resistant Laptop Carry Case For Dell Vostro 3500 15.6', Maingear EX-L 15, Samsung Series 9 NP900X4B-A02, Apple MacBook Pro & HP G62-105DURAGADGET Purple Ultra Protection Water Resistant Laptop Carry Case For Dell Vostro 3500 15.6" and HP G62-105 shipping time was quite long but other than that its a great case and it fits in there real nice. zippers are very secure and the stitching is durable. plus gotta love the price and the PURPLE!!!!!!!

This thing doesn't offer much cushion or doesn't have much shape to it. It's also an ugly color. I say spend an extra $5-10 and get a good quality bag to protect your laptop.

I got a good quality Built NY laptop sleeve for my laptop after using this one for a year.

It kept my laptop safe from my notebooks and stuff in my backpack...but that was about it.

It really is waterproof.

Its an ok case, but Im not a fan of how thin and cheaply made it appears to be. Also, it was a weird size that didn't quite fit my macbook well. You could get a better case for less money if you tried looking.

J.B. Expedition Thermal Backpacker Outdoor Sock (2 Pairs)

Outdoor Sock- J.B. Field's Thermal Backpacker SockThe socks are good quality and very warm. My fiance loves them. The socks may not seem soft on the outside, but they are cozy on the inside (and that's what counts, right?)

I got these socks for my husband who likes to walk in the woods and sit outside by a fire at his lodge. He said that they kept his feet warm in the cold, so I believe that they do their job! They arrived very quickly, too.

Great looking and feeling socks though I recommend wearing them over a comfortable pair of sock liners rather than directly against the skin. It's not that cold out yet in NY, so I don't really know how warm these will keep me, but so far they look and feel great. I will probably be ordering more.

8 - 10 inch Flying Dragon Netbook Laptop Sleeve Slip Case Pouch Bag for Apple iPad 1 iPad 2 / most

8 - 10 inch Flying Dragon Netbook Laptop Sleeve Slip Case Pouch Bag for Apple iPad 1 iPad 2 / most of Acer ASUS Dell HP Sony ToshibaI bought this sleeve for my kindle touch knowing full well that it would be too big, however it was the beautiful dragon design that attracted me. The vibrant teal/turquois blue against the grey and white background looked so cool! I was very disappointed when it arrived though. The design was more blurry than in the photo and the dragon was actually GREEN and not blue. The whites were not as vibrant as in the photo either so the whole picture did not look as defined and clear. I also bought a white case for my kindle but with the way this dragon sleeve looks, it does not match. I should have got a grey one instead because there really isnt't alot of white if any in the design. It's just dull. I gave this product 2 stars instead of 1 as it looks sturdy enough so at least it will do the job.

States 10.5" interior dimension and to be sure to check your device. Well the interior is only 10" long and does not accommodate the Acer A200 which is 10-1/4".

You can barely close it but only by scraping the metal zipper along the edge of the tablet.

As other reviewers noted, the colors are off. Mine is all pink where the photo shows grey and there is barely any white.

I was concerned when ordering that it might be too big for my ipad 2 but it fits it extremely well, with a slight half an inch gap at the top which fits my stylus. The material feels very silky to the touch and has a slight stretch to it which helps because I have a back cover on my ipad and it makes the fit snug. The dragon is simply gorgeous in imagery and colouring the wings are perfect! If you like dragons, you need this case!

Bought this sleeve for a college student who has an ASUS tablet. Wasn't sure if it would fit, but he loves anything dragon-motif so I had to try. It was a bit tight, but worked fine and made him quite happy to secure his precious tablet inside a really gorgeous dragon. :)

I love this little bag....although doesn't fit my network, oh well...using for my kindle fire instead. A little big for the fire but room for charger.
