Tumi Luggage Voyageur Positano Crossbody Bag

Tumi Luggage Voyaguer Positano Crossbody, Anna Sui Floral, One SizeFor tumi I expected better quality. Angled sew lines and bunched up material. Color is nice, it's very small too.

Tumi makes great product but they didn't think the design thru on this little bag. The strap, which is a little wide for the bag, attaches to the front and back sides. This makes the bag not lay well against your body...it sort of flops against you. Looks very odd. If the strap was attached to the TOP of the bag, it would work much better. I ended up returning the bag and starting over in my search...

This is a great little well made pouch for carrying essentials on a weekend errand run. The back ring is a carbiner and will slip this pouch on a larger pack or belt loop. Highly recommend. Tumi products are extemely well made.

Targus A7 Trek Backpack for 17-Inch Laptops, Black (TSB206US)

Targus A7 Trek Backpack for 17-Inch Laptops, BlackI saw this backpack for more that twice the price at a local store. IT's a pretty good backpack as I am pretty rough on pack. most don't last long for me. For this one so far so good. The reason for the Four stars is the placement of the organization pack. i.e. the pen pencil stuff pocket. That may be picky ,but they could have done a better job.

Wizards of Waverly Place - Magic Feathers 16" Large Backpack Featuring Selena Gomez

Wizards of Waverly Place - Magic Feathers 16' Large Backpack Featuring Selena GomezBought this as a Christmas gift for my daughter. It's even larger than I expected which is good for packing for an overnight or a trip, but it became very heavy for her to carry through the airports. Pack light. :) She's a Selena Gomez fan though, so she loves it. Fur around the small side pockets is a nice touch. Good purchase.

Kiva Key Chain Pack

KIva Key Chain Pack-black Scrollits really handy when i'm going to parks where i know i'm going to be buying lots, but dont want to carry it.

its tiny and convinient.

the only problem is it is a bit flimsy so you cant carry heavy things with it often. but to carry free toys and flyers and coupons that you pick up while walking a festival, its ideal.

Overall i think 3 stars is probably generous given the amount of time I have spent fixing a new piece of equipment.

Nice little pack to carry in your pocket; however, after only a few days of very light use (maybe 3-4 lbs) the stitching is coming undone in several places. There is a one inch long hole at the seam on top of the bag and i think one of the shoulder straps will fall off soon (the hole is separate from the strap, there are two independent places where the stitching is coming up). The stitching on the entire bag is fairly mediocre.

Also, the plastic clips that allow the shoulder straps to adjust are loose/broken. Just carrying a change of clothes causes the plastic adjustment to let the shoulder strap lengthen itself until the bag falls off your back. This can be fixed by removing the plastic clip and tying the straps together which makes the shoulder strap not so easily adjustable.

You simply get a tough, lightweight, smallish backpack to fold into a keychain sized pouch, so if you are looking for more than that, go elsewhere. BUT should you want a handy little bag you ca take everywhere and pull it out when you need it, this bag is GREAT. It was recently indispensable when travelling and we rented mopedsI threw everything I needed in there and had my hands free. Note the straps are lightweightalmost like ribbons, and they adjust, but don't always stay put! I also bought the tote but end up using this all the time. Overall, a unique product that's worth it.

This small, portable backpack is useful for everything from day hiking trips to school and work days. Light, flexible, but strong enough for regular use.

I have about a dozen of the Kiva foldable keychain shopper bags, which I love, but I was very disappointed in the backpack. The straps are not only thin and fragile, they come loose from the buckles constantly, even when knotted, rendering the backpack useless.

Booq Boa Flow M Backpack for 13-Inch to 17-Inch MacBook, Black/Red (BFM-BLR)

Booq Boa Flow M Backpack for 13-Inch to 17-Inch MacBook, Black/RedPros: Feels like it will protect the laptop amazingly well. It is nicely designed for a work only laptop backpack.

Cons: There just is no space for most things in this backpack. It also does not have a fold down laptop section.

The side pockets and the camera section is nice!

David King & Co. Distressed Leather Laptop Backpack

David King Co. Distressed Leather Laptop Backpack - ChocolateI ordered this backpack for my birthday on November 29th, I still haven't received it. After placing numerous calls to Luggage Point and getting two different stories, I have been told that it would be another two weeks. I asked if I could get it in another color but they don't have any. I also asked if I could get a different bag that was the same value of the original at the sale price. I was told that I couldn't. The only bright spot of this so far has been the customer service rep that has worked with me. She hes been nice. I can't say that I would order from these people again or recommend them to anyone else.

Bag looks nice but after 3 weeks interior dividers have ripped. The Adjustments on back pack straps keep loosening during use. Nice for a weekend stay but no good for daily use.

I bought this back pack last month. It arrived perfectly at my address, before the estimated arrivel date. Amazon and Fedex services were impecable as usual. The product achieved almost all my expectations: at the website it is much prettier than it really is. If you take a closer look at the picture shown above the product's description, you will see a backpack made of glowing leather, appearing to be soft as silk. Well, it is not. It's not soft and not shiny at all. I must say that the back pack is made with high quality standarts: the padded portion for laptops, the inner parts, everything is done properly. The leather itself is rough, "raw" if I could put this way. In the picture it looks prettier but, afterwall, is a good and charming backpack! Be carefull, the back pack is suitable only for 14 inch screen laptops at maximum. Bigger ones won't fit!

Bought this backpack for my high school brother and it took like 3 days to get to my front door. Super fast and it was exactly as expected.

The main compartment does not have a zipper but I don't think that's an issue because the big flap goes over it snuggly.

It has plenty of space. The feel of it is great and it just looks really good.

Cant get any more classic than leather it'll look good with any style.

JanSport Big Student Classics Series Daypack

My granddaughter loved this backpack that I gave her for Christmas. It hold's everything, books, phone and room for her laptop. I also liked that it had separate compartments, especially the one on the front. It is very well made, both inside and out. The design, with the suede on the bottom and other parts, along with the floral design is very appealing to young ladies in college and for other occasions. I highly recommend this product as it's different than most. It also comes in different designs and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants a quality backpack.

I bought this for my daughter for Kindergarten. It is a very pretty backpack that I'm sure she will enjoy for many years. Being a Jansport and with the Jansport guarantee I am hoping that it will take her all the way through college, if we can afford it with all the new Obama taxes comming our way. Vote Obama out before he completely destroys the American economy and way of life.

Herschel Supply Co. Settlement

Herschel Supply Settlement Backpack Red/Navy, One SizeI was looking for a backpack for school and I wanted to something stylish but not over the top. A friend of mine has this backpack and I thought to myself, this backpack will work perfectly for me. I loved the gold zippering and the simplicity of the style.

This backpack is an excellent size. The zipper and material are high quality. I love the contrasting pink liner!! Definitely worth the price.

I picked this bag up because I figured I wouldn't see anyone else with it, and the first day at Uni in my first class a kid sitting next to me had the same exact bag. I said NO WAY LOL and we talked for a bit, cool guy. But anyway, this product is great and the providers shipped in a timely manner.

Nautica Luggage Spinnaker 25 Inch Expandable Upright

Nautica Luggage Spinnaker 25 Inch Expandable Upright Bag, Black/Grey, One SizeThe Nautica 25 expandable is an excellent piece of luggage as you would expect. Having used it now for several trips I can find no faults. The purchase price at Amazon was the lowest I could find. It stands up to rough handling and I recommend it without reservation.

We have the 21 and the 25" of this suitcase. They are fantastic. I bought the 21" one first then wanted the matching larger one. If you travel by air and not first class you don't want the 28" model it will be 2/3 full at most when it hits 50#.

There is a model that has the same shape but NOT the same color as this model. If you want 'the one' that has the bright colored side panels so you can literally see from 100' away at the airport, you want THIS model and only this model.

Soft sided luggage is much more survivable than hard sided, but these have a bonus; they are PADDED. might add a pound to the weight but they are very light weight, and it's well worth it to make the CONTENTS survivable when going through the gauntlet of airport luggage handling!

Found out an added bonus the other day: the 21" exactly fits inside the 25"; it can't be by accident it's an exact fit; well that sure makes storing easier and extra handy for a trip where you will be bringing more back than bringing with.

The photos online are terrible; these things are BRIGHT orange, like hunter's use for deer hunting, the yellow i hope is similarly bright.

If you like a little splash of color in your life, get the bright yellow or orange models and you will LOVE how easy they are to spot coming out of baggage. (of course, unless too many people read my review).

I bought this luggage as a gift for my sister. She is thrilled with it and called me four times within the space of a week to thank me for sending it to her. When buying online, it is sometimes hard to know whether the photograph in the website accurately shows the product. It's great that this piece of luggage is as beautiful and as well-made as I had hoped. When my sister told me that she found a label inside the luggage with the list price, I realized what a terrific bargain this is.

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!

Buy BBP Hamptons Hybrid Messenger/Backpack Laptop Bag Obsidian Black Large Now

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.

I came in today and within minutes of opening it I noticed stains on the back and straps of backpack. Looks like grease. I am going to try a Tide pen and pray it gets the stains out or I will send it back. This is for my nephews birthday and I refuse to give him something stained to take to school. This really sucks.

sugarSNAP Files Customizable Diaper Bag Organizer Mesh Pouches, with Labels

sugarSNAP Files Customizable Diaper Bag Organizer Mesh Pouches, with LabelsI loved these pouches when they arrived! Great idea but they fell apart within weeks of using them. The loops to hold the hardware on came undone and then the mesh fabric separated from the back/bottom fabric. I am very gentle with my things and these bags still fell apart. I used them in my Petunia Pickle bag and never really took them out of the bag I would just unzip while still in the diaper bag and get the items out. I am in the process of returning these to Amazon. I would love to find a similar product because I love having an organized diaper bag but I will not pay over $40 for mesh bags that fall apart! Might as well just use zip lock baggies!

I was so excited to receive my SugarSNAP files! I had kept my eye on them for a while, seeing them pop up in many places around the internet and finally bit the bullet when I was able to use some credit card points to get them for 1/2 price here on Amazon! They are everything I hoped for and MORE!

Unlike many comments I've read through saying they wish the bags were bigger I thought the bags were perfectly sized and able to fit more than I even needed. The 3 larger bags in the back are all the same size (I often wished they listed the dimensions of all 5 bags) I don't have exact measurements, but its good to the know the rear 3 bags are all the same large size and the front two offer a "medium" and a "small" that being said, even the small fit TONS of stuff in it!

I like the sizing of this set because yes it's made for daiper bags, but I currently have a 2 year old and we don't carry around his daiper bag anymore. So the fact that this can fit inside my purse is a major plus (given I have a large purse, love the big hobos!) but the point is it can easily transition. We also have our first family vacation this year at the end of the summer I am greatly looking forward to utilizing these files to organize for that trip!

I do wish they could come a little cheaper but after doing TONS of research and googling these really are worth the price for what the market offers right now. The quality is excellent, it has a modern pattern and great color options everything else I found comparable was plastic, cheaply made, and/or ugly and dated for not much less.

Columbia Treadlite 10 Backpack (One Size)

Columbia Treadlite 10 BackpackI have owned several packs. I love to hike and so I wanted to invest in a quality one for my frequent day hikes. I was a bit apprehensive about buying a pack online since I wouldn't be able to try it on, but this one really is great. I could tell when I took it out of the box that it was going to be nice. I am a fan of columbia gear and this does not disappoint. One of my favorite features is what they call "backdraft." It's a couple of raised foam panels on the back panel of the pack. This holds it away from your body, allowing you to stay cooler. Let me tell you, that makes a big difference in the summer. It is very light too. I know that may seem obvious, but I was struck by just how light it is. When I buckle it on I might as well not be wearing a pack. Its comfortable, good looking, and lightweight. Kudos Columbia!

*EditI feel I should mention that, having now gotten a 3 liter Camelbak unBottle hydration pack, it can indeed fit in this bag, but its quite tight. I can cram my hammock and straps in it along with some food but you can't fit much else in it with the hydration bag in there. It's a small bag though so this doesnt really detract. It still feels very light even with the 3L of water.

I picked one of these up locally after trying out a few brands. It fits very comfortably over my riding jacket and very nice to have a 10L pack with load lifters which isn't so common. This allows me to put in a little extra weight and be able to lift the load off of my shoulders which is way nicer on a motorcycle. I have been in a few showers and everything stayed dry inside the pack. The 10L and the 16L also sit high enough on your back that it doesn't affect riding comfort and sitting position.

Just secure the extra straps and its a great pack!

I wanted to get a pack to lug around giant stacks of books or to carry my gym clothes, shoes, gloves etc in. These are very nice day packs, but won't do the job of the giant amount of stuff I wanted to carry around.

The packs seemed to be made nice, they had very nice straps, but didn't have enough room inside them.

That was my mistake for not figuring that out. Otherwise, if you want to carry your lunch and a small change of clothes and other things out for a hike, it's nice!

Le Donne Leather Multi Pocket iPad / eReader Day Bag

Le Donne Leather Multi Pocket iPad / eReader Day BagLove this bag. Leather is soft and supple. Pockets are roomy. Does not look feminine. I use it everyday. It has pockets for my Ipad, my Kindle, my cell phone as well as keys, pens, checkbook, etc. I do wish the strap were wider but I purchased an add on shoulder pad and it works great.

I love this bag. I had been looking for a bag I could combine my IPad, camera, and purse into. This is the bag. It has so many pockets for the things I want to carry, and the IPad slips in and out with ease. Has a great secure, padded pocket for it. The leather is supple and great. I love the color (they call it Tan, but I would say more of a caramel color).

Buy Le Donne Leather Multi Pocket iPad / eReader Day Bag Now

It serves the purpose for which it was intended--it protects my iPad. I would like it better if it opened a little wider and if all the zippers were two-ways, not just one of them. I really like that the lining is the same color as the leather and therefore the tan bag I bought has a light-colored lining. The strap is not leather but rather canvas and looks kind of cheesy compared to the very nice leather of the bag. Things do tend to get lost in the bottom of the bag as it's rather tall and narrow.

I was so excited to order this product, but what I received was unusable for me. Poorly applied stain rubbed off in my hands as I examined the bag. The stain wasn't sealed either, no shine at all. Color ugly. Worst of all, the inside it not at lined. It's just rough leather in there. Very poor craftsmanship and I was embarrassed to use it in public.

Gregory Savant 38 Backpack

Gregory Savant 38 Backpack, Indigo Blue, SmallI am 5'4 female and small size fits me fairly well. I love pack design and color but one thing I want to have is a bottle holder on the side. But other than that, I am happy with price, design, size and color. I can pack rain gear, banner, tharmo mattress, sleeping back, sleeping back cover, changes, food, everything I need for 1 day or 2 days hike but tent. There is plenty of space to pack.

Pros:

Superbly Comfortable

So many different options in how to load it

Holds a lot of stuff for the size

Plenty of pockets like the two hip belt pockets, side stash on the right side (fits sunglasses in case + headlamp with a bit to spare)

Cons:

Heavy for a bag of it's size. It's just under 3 LBs on my scale. The osprey hornet 46L is about a pound and a half.

So many straps

Material seems to stain easily I got a few black markings on it from TSA security

The bottle holders don't really stretch so when fully loaded it seems tough to get anything in there but it still works somehow. I use vapur bottles, so they're flexibility might have something to do with it.

Other thoughts:

The backpack, as any other backpack, should be tried on before buying it. For me, the size medium fits perfectly. I've packed over 20 LBs in it and it still didn't get that heavy feel to it. I can easily pack food, pajamas, cooking gear, tent, sleeping bag, a couple of knives, knife sharpener, toiletries for before bed (contact solution, toothbrush, toothpaste, etc). The backpack really can cinch down to extremely small or expand to hold everything I would need for a 5 day hike. I use a short pad and put my feet on the pack when I sleep the rain cover's stash area makes it pretty comfy on that bit.

The good outweigh the bad. I would prefer to be comfortable than a bit lighter.

Navy Ipod Mp3 School Sling Backpack

Navy Ipod Mp3 School Sling Backpack
  • Pack is uniquely shaped
  • A zip pocked in front
  • An audio pocket inside and headphone outlet on top
  • A detachable phone pocket on the strap
  • A mesh pocket on one side

When I bought this, i thought it was smaller, yesterday I received it and my surprise was that the actual size is not so small, as i was expected, but it's ok I mean, you can put a couple of books maybe a mini laptop and a jacket and you're ready to go. The color is true to the picture (at least the grey with navy blue) it has a patch that reads "H20" so that means it is impermeable, but I haven't test it. The design is pretty cool

and that was my main reason to buy this, so I'm happy, this is a good product.

I bought this backpack about a month ago. When I first opened it, my initial impression was one word: CHEAP! The backpack is made of a thin, plastic-feeling material, the zippers are plastic and feel flimsy, and the straps are just foam padding with a mesh (mesh! not even fabric) covering.

However, after using this backpack as a school and overnight bag for about a month now, it's holding up surprisingly well. I still think it feels kinda cheap, but it's pretty sturdy as well.

The design of the backpack is very basic. One HUGE compartment, and one fair-sized outer pocket. The outer pocket can fit a light sweater easily. It also has organizer pockets for pens and such. The main compartment is tall enough to fit a widescreen laptop, and has yet to fail me sizewise--I've fit everything I've wanted to, no problem.

If I remember to, I'll come back in a few more months to update my review (it'll have some outdoor experience by then too), but at this point in the game, I would buy this backpack again. Great price, functional, and sturdy enough so far.

UPDATE 9/7/2011

I've had this backpack for 6 months now. While I still think the material feels cheap, I can say that it's pretty sturdy and resilient.

The backpack's size is both a blessing and a curse. The main compartment is ridiculously large-I can fit a widescreen laptop, a pair of shoes, two pairs of jeans, and four shirts, just in the one compartment. However, it's not so great when you have very little to carry. If you put in just a textbook, it "sinks" to the bottom and flops around. Same with notebooks. You really have to fill it a little to keep everything in place.

Comfort-wise, I'd put this backpack as average. I've definitely worn more comfortable and supportive packs, but this one's not the worst. If you're looking for a backpack on a budget, I'd definitely recommend it, but if you've got money to spare, maybe not.

I bought the Blue Ridge version this pack for $25 at Marshall's near my home town with the intent of using it as my day pack on my backpacking tour across Europe coming up in the next year. I liked it initially because I could roll it up tightly to fit into my big pack, it has 30L of space, and i trust the Jansport name.

I have only used it yet for small day trips, hikes, and one trip to Niagra Falls. Thus far it has failed to impress me with how much it can fit and how comfortable and light the straps feel even in 110 degree weather-not to mention, the quality of the zippers and material has impressed me. Though it lacks compression straps on the side to accomedate smaller loads, I plan on only using it when I need to take a lot of stuff, so it doesn't bother me much.

I would say this is a great pack for an intermediate to avid backpacker.

I tested it out and took a walk to the park the day I got it. Most backpacks kill my back and neck when loaded up, but this was not that bad. The straps are nice and soft and there is a TON of room for everything I need. I can't wait to use it for the pool this summer!
