DURAGADGET Black Ultra protection Water resistant laptop / notebook / netbook / UMPC carry case / b

DURAGADGET Black Ultra protection Water resistant laptop / notebook / netbook / UMPC carry case / bag / sleeve for Acer Aspire 5740M 15.6', TravelMate Timeline 8571, 5740, Aspire 5942, Aspire 5538, Aspire 5542, Aspire 5740, Aspire 5732Z, Aspire 5332, Aspire 5551, Aspire 5532, Aspire 5534 , Aspire 5745, Aspire 5741, and Aspire 5553Description says that the sleeve fits my Acer Laptop. Sleeve is too big for my 15.6 laptop, quality is good but would like to see the sleeve actually fit the 15.6 latop. Too large in size the laptop slides around inside the sleeve too much.

I liked very much the sleeve, it is just what I needed buy the product arrives with a damage in the neoprene (two littles holes).I am in Costa Rica and I don,t think to return the product because I would have to wait another 22 days for the product. I am sure that the holes were made before to send it because the plastic package comes all ok.

I wanted to buy 3 more but now I don,t think so.

Alley Messenger Bag

STM Medium Alley Laptop BagI specifically wanted a vertical laptop bag with fewer pockets and lightweight carry. This bag fits the need perfectly and has a fine shoulder pad. Overall design is simple and utilitarian. The sections & pockets are fewer but very large and can carry almost anything. A negative is that after 3 months of daily use, the inside laptop section divider fabric stitching has started to break and separate through normal use. This also reveals the thin polyfoam construction of the internal divider. At best, this is okay and a compromise for weight and cost, but given all the other design & assembly compromises, I wonder if this will last a year or 2 without becoming an annoyance?

I've had this bag for 4 months now. It is a nice looking bag, and also has a nice light and small design. It fits my notebook, power chords, and notebook-mouse just fine without looking stuffed or too thick. In fact, I really liked this bag until one day...

It was a rainy day. I packed my notebook as usual, stepped outside assuming all would be protected and safe. However, if you look carefully, the flap that swings over the top is not made to wrap around the edges. There is an angled gap of roughly half an inch on both sides of the flap, that provides direct access to the notebook.

Luckily for me, it was a short walk to the car in very heavy rain. when I opened my notebook bag, I discovered water on the edges of my notebook. And now, I have to always remember to stuff paper towels on the edges just in case it rains.

I use this messenger bag for my Macbook Pro 15'' and it's amazing, the space for the laptop is just great and the good thing is that it has also an special space for the charger and papers.

Has a great padded area for your 15" MacBookPro. There is a rubber covered handle for times you don't want to go to the trouble of using the padded strap. The shoulder strap can come off if you like and besides padding there is a cel pocket on it. Mostly you notice how the bag is planned out nicely for your computer and a few items like the cords, mouse etc. This is not your "tote everything and the kitchen sink" bag but then it wasn't made for that. It looks very sleek. People remark on the design and how great the bag looks. Also there is a version for 13" laptops.

Buy this for my mbp 13 ", I should buy the smallest model but the idea was to share with my wife a few times (she has a 15.6" laptop). The bag looks great and protects the laptop very well and not be as fancy as the Speck PortPack becomes safer in urban environments in my opinion.

would be good maybe one or two pockets for small items.

Port Authority Side Pocket Wheeled Handy Backpack. BG76S

Port Authority - Wheeled Backpack. One size, Light Pink/GreyI ordered this for my 5th grader for school. It is a great quality product. Very sturdy, well made, and lots of room inside and outside pockets. It wheels very smoothly, and has a lot of padding in back of backpack and padded straps for optional backpack use. Very pleased with purchase.

I would not recommend this product for anyone who needs to walk on a sidewalk with it. The wheels are terrible and cannot tolerate anything but an extremely smooth surface. I live in the city and walk 3 blocks to the train station. This involves walking on a sidewalk, one of which is cobblestone. After only 3 trips, the flimsy wheels turned inward and now the backback drags instead of rolls. It's such an arm workout to try to "roll" it with stuck wheels that I won't use it anymore. It was a total waste of $26. I guess you get what you pay for.

I bought this backpack for my 9 yr old for school. I love it. It is very durable and has many compartments yet very sleek! The quality of the material is very strong and sturdy. The only thing I wish is it having an adjustable height handle since he is not that tall when the arm is fully extended. I will just have to drill a hole in it myself to make the handle snnap shorter.

I had great hopes for this backpack. My fourth grader's Land's End monogramed backpack fell apart after five months and he needed something fast. We saw this on amazon.com and liked it. It was bigger. Seemed sturdy and looked good. And it was great, until the wheel housing fell out of the backpack. The reason this gets one star is, he was able to tuck the wheel back up into the pack and can use it temporarily. Because we know it's only a matter of time before the wheel won't tuck back in. The wheels are pockmarked as well, so not a lot of hope in them lasting. Very disappointing because we'll have to buy yet another backpack and we have no trust whatever we get will make it to June.

I bought 2 of these for my 11 year old girls in January 2012. I got the pink one and the red one. Initial appearance of them was favorable. They liked the look of them and were happy with the number of pockets it has. The one feature I was particularly pleased with was the pull out cover for the wheels/bottom so that if used as a backpack instead of a roller it won't get their backs dirty. One thing I found useful to do was to tuck the shoulder straps into the pocket at the back / top so that they don't drag when being rolled. The one complaint I have about this however is that the bottom of the strap is not removable via a clip like others have. This means that the the strap length must be stretched longer in order to fit flat in the pocket ever time it is stored. If they needed to switch from roller to backpack often this could become annoying to have to adjust the strap length each time.

I hope the product will last as long as other backpacks they have used (or hopefully longer since it is more expensive than their usual one). I will update this once they start showing some sign of end of their usable life. Hopefully they continue to follow my request to always zip the zippers before carrying it by the handle, and also pull the straps to compress the thickness according to the contents, which should help prevent weight shifts when being rolled around and should help reduce stress on the backpack.

beatrix new york Little Kid Backpack

Beatrix Little Kid Backpack AlexanderWe searched high and low for the `it' backpack for our little ones. We tested different varieties from high end to low end. Our favorite by far has been the Dante Beatrix Little Kids Backpack. We tested the RORY design and loved it. It was versatile for boy or girl in it's design. It was easy to spot amongst other little backpacks at preschool. It was the perfect size to hold a folder to come home or art work. We loved that there was a place to write your child's name on the pack. It was very resilient through months of use... READ MORE @

Good size, beautiful color and good material bag. We had a little problem with the zipper, but the seller replaced a new one after contacting them with the issue.

STM BAGS Scout Small Laptop Shoulder Bag, Fits most 13-Inch Laptops, Olive

STM BAGS Scout Small Laptop Shoulder Bag, Fits most 13-Inch Laptops, OliveI needed a bag that had a minimal form factor but protected my MacBook Air well. This bag is almost perfect. It offers great protection for my Air, with enough space that I can put my MBA and iPad into the protected compartment with just the right amount of space. The two front pockets offer enough room for accessories, like a power cord or other cables. The secondary large pocket, between the protected compartment and the two accessory pockets is just deep enough for two Moleskines side by side. The bag seems to be very well made and durable. Very comfortable to wear as well I highly recommend it.

It's inexpensive, but the lines are clean and the design is refined. I use it to transport my 13 in Macbook Pro to and from work. It protects the laptop really well and leaves room for my kindle, a notebook, some pens and a file folder. I'm a huge fan of this bag, especially at the price!

Buy STM BAGS Scout Small Laptop Shoulder Bag, Fits most 13-Inch Laptops, Olive Now

I ordered this based solely on some results on internet searches for my 13" macbook pro. I have a great small Incase bag that perfectly fits the MBP and a few accessories very well, but now that I have some apps that turn my iPad into more than just a toy or a kindle replacement, I needed something that was still small, designed for a 13" laptop, but also had space to carry the iPad relatively safely. So some people gave this good word of mouth on a few boards, I liked the photos on the manufacturer's website, so thought I'd give it a try.

Online photos showed some decent storage, and clearly showed a space where they had an iPad stored as well, and after receiving it, everything is more or less as shown on the website. Laptop fits alright, the inner sleeve is soft to protect the finish of the laptop, and there's an inner flap with velcro that also covers the laptop sleeve in addition to the main flap. Inside the right side accessory pouch there's three sleeves for things like small screwdrivers, pens, etc, and one larger one that fits my Sony digital camera or a cell phone well. With those little holders filled, there is still space for a few other things like sync and charge cables, etc. The left side accessory pouch has no other storage options in it, only the larger pouch, works well for the power adapters.

Along the top edge of the "back wall" of these pouches is a zipper, where you can open up and put papers and such in, maybe 10" long.

This outer storage portion is the outside wall of the smaller space to store an iPad or paper notepads and such, which extends the full length of the bag.

The laptop sleeve itself is padded on all sides and the bottom by some pretty sturdy foam that's a little more than 1/3" thick. The top velcro closure is padded but thinly, probably because it will also have the large flap closed for a little more material protection. Strap is actually easily adjusted, with a quick release tensioner, something I wish other laptop bags did.

Padding on the strap is removable and slides the whole length to put it where you want. The issue with this is that it slides TOO easily, so every time I put it down, when I pick it up I have to reposition the pad again. It is not the softest padding, but since this bag won't fit one of the huge 17" laptops, the padding works well anyway. It's supposedly some non slip material, and while it is not as slippery as some others, it doesn't hold as well as a few of my other bags.

While it's squared off on the bottom, it doesn't stand on its own if there's accessories in it but no laptop.

My biggest gripe is that the accessory pockets extend all the way to the edge, and the way the main flap closes, the edges of those pouches are NOT well covered... So if you're out in the rain, water WILL get in those pouches, and, to a lesser degree, the other storage spot where I plan on carrying my iPad...

So good for most things, but the vulnerability of this to rain has me unwilling to give it more stars...

I have had a bag fetish for many years and have owned over 30 of them always searching for the perfect bag. As far as a messenger bag goes, this is the best one out. Its comfortable, looks great, high quality material and the strap is great. I just wish they had a version with a slimmer build for the laptop compartment as I have a Macbook Air that is very slim and the space is for a normal sized machine.

Want STM BAGS Scout Small Laptop Shoulder Bag, Fits most 13-Inch Laptops, Olive Discount?

I purchased this bag after looking around at many many bags. I wanted a bag that would hold the following without any hassle: A 13" laptop, the power adapter, a notebook, and a folder for documents. All of that fits great, I could probably squeeze some sort of tablet in there, too. On top of that, the construction & materials are solid, so I'm not concerned that something is going to break unexpectedly.

The cons are trivial. The main latch requires you to reach a little bit extra for it, and I do wish that the bottom of the bag had some sort of rubber or plastic so that I could just wipe it off if I set the bag in something messy. Yeah, those are honestly the worst things I can say about the bag. I love it!

Brown PU Leather-like Material Backpack School Bag Super Cool for School-By JAM Closet

Brown PU Leather-like Material Backpack School Bag Super Cool for School-By JAM ClosetI got this bag to go off to college in the fall & it is beautiful! The material isn't leather but it looks just like it & it turned out to be a lot bigger than what I imagined. Plus it didn't take too long for it to be delivered. I am a happy customer (:

I ordered this bag last Tuesday and received it the following Monday just in time for my first class. It really is beautiful and the leather like material is soft to the touch. I can't believe how much room this bag has. I'm really happy with it over all. It's classy and chic for the girl who wants a more "grown up" bag. I recieved several comments on it while on campus today. The only thing I don't like is that the straps are held to the bag with magnetic buttons that don't click together well so they keep popping open. It doesn't hurt anything because the bag is also a draw string so it's not like my books and stuff will fall out, just a tad annoying. But that is the only thing I could find wrong with it. I also love the pockets for easy access to pencils and such. A lot of backpacks tend to over do the outside pockets, but this one is just right! Completely satisfied!

When i saw this back pack online, it looked perfect for me, so I ordered it. The shipping took two weeksa little disappointing.

When i opened it up, i was happy about the size. it is definitely big enough for all my books, and it looks just like the backpack pictured.

I am not happy when it comes to the quality. The lining of the outside pockets is a weird plastic-y material that makes a crinkling noise when you touch your backpack. Also, the inside pocket zipper broke immediately, the very first time i tried to unzip it.

I havent gotten the chance to use it long enough to determine the durability, but it doesnt seem strong enough to last more than one school year.

Overall, the backpack was just okay.

Eagle Creek Travel Gear Dane Backpack

Eagle Creek Travel Gear Dane BackpackIn looking for a replacement for my last Eagle Creek computer/paper bag, I looked at the upscale options (Tumi and friends). While there were both highly functional and elegant products available, they did not meet one strict requirement: that it be possible to carry the bag as a backpack, comfortably. The Eagle Creek has padded curved straps which allow it to be comfortably carried for hours on hikes, and then tucked in the back and the bag becomes appropriate for the most serious meetings I attend. While I only have a few months of experience with this sack, I have decades of experience with other Eagle Creek products; hope and expect this one to hold up as well. No need to repeat the standard features; I'll note that the combination of large and small pockets, some zipped and some open, provides a flexible system to allow a customization of 'assignments' for tech gear, human interfaces (glasses, earplugs, aspirin, etc.), passports, pens, cards...

It works, it is elegant, and it is well made.

Everest Wheeled Backpack with Bungee Cord

Everest Wheeled Backpack with Bungee CordI purchased two of these backpacks for this past school year and they held up fairly well. The wheels seemed more rugged than others we had in the past and was my fav feature of this backpack. However, by the end of the school year holes had warn through the material at the bottom edges and are now unusable because the stuff falls out of the holes (obviously). We had some wheeled JSport backpacks before that actually lasted 2 school years! Wish all had that high of a quality!

Handy and great. I take it with me whereever I go. I just love it. Fills in many items!! Wheels are good.

STX Journey Backpack

STX Journey Backpack, RedAlthough this bag holds a lot it is smaller than it appears online. It's awkward when you insert the LAX sticks in the holder on the back of the bag which makes my son still carry his sticks.

My daughter plays LAX year-round and Field Hockey in the fall, so I wanted a bag that would fit both sports. This one is perfect; it has lots of pockets and space for gear, extra clothes, cleats, sticks, etc. Very practical and useful. She is very happy to be able to fit it all in one bag. Love it!

Osprey Packs Poco - Premium Child Carrier

Osprey Packs Poco - Premium Child CarrierAfter reading many reviews, I bought and compared four backpacks: Kelty, Osprey, Deuter, and Phil & Teds.

I ultimately returned all four of them because the belts were all too wide for me. I am 5ft, 100lbs and the belts hit both my ribcage and hips at the same time, making them impossible to tighten for a good fit. I got bruises just trying them on for a few minutes. This entire process was a disappointment, and a huge waste of time spent reading reviews and making returns (they come in huge oversized boxes, and I don't have a car...). [Behavioral economists out there, you may be interested to know that while writing this review is increasing the cost of this transaction to me, it is actually making it slightly more rewarding as I hope for it to be useful to other parents.]

For many of you with larger frames (i.e. longer waste lines), I would recommend the Osprey by far. It is extremely well made with great attention to detail. The kickstand is nicely hidden in the fabric, and easy to open and close. When it is open, it provides a large extra storage compartment (it collapses when the kickstand is closed). It is much easier to load the baby into than the Kelty. The sunshade is the best by far on this backpack in terms of baby coverage and ease of use / withdrawal. The mechanism to adjust the backpack frame is extremely easy to use. It has stirrups for baby's feet. Very easy to load the baby in and out. In terms of practicality and attention to detail, Deuter would be my next pick (except it is way too big, and the sunshade does not come out far enough).

Note that the Kelty and Pathfinder are *voluminous*--their sheer size sent my husband, mother and me into hysterics. Even if you think you don't care what you look like walking around with one of these, the size of these may make you rethink. The Deuter is particularly gigantic--mostly because of its height.

Phil & Teds claims to be better looking, and I beg to differ (and design matters to me). While its size is very reasonable, it is very poorly conceived. The storage pockets are designed in such a way as to be useless; they won't hold much of anything. Your blood pressure will increase trying to put the sunshade in and out of its pocket. The baby harness alone is a reason not to buy it. It requires pulling the straps over the baby's head (a little bit like a T-shirt), and they are very thick and fleecy--it would be too hot for the baby on a warm day. I am not sure the part that goes under the baby's chin can even be removed to clean (if it can be, it's not easy).

Buy the Osprey if you are bigger than me, save yourself the hassle I put myself through.... And if any small people out there have found a backpack that works for them, I would love to hear.

After reading several reviews online, I went ahead and bought this (not from Amazon, although Amazon's price is more competitive). I just wanted to walk into a store to compare the premium against the pro model. In essence, they are pretty much the same, but the price difference isn't too much (if you're already planning on spending all that money on a backpack anyway). I really liked the few added features of the premium over the pro. I had to visit the manufacturer's website to know what they were, but basically, I think it comes down to the baby changing mat and the detachable backpack, which is really where I think the difference is worth it. It is not a huge backpack, but it will add some much needed storage for light day hiking. I really love the quality and craftmanship: this is a sturdy unit, and held both my 15-month old daughter and 3-year-old son comfortably on my back. They both enjoyed it. They keep on asking me to take them for a ride. I would highly recommend this if you are planning on any walking/hiking with kids in toddler age or below. Remember they must be old enough to hold their head up alone (about 6 months?). Very good product.

At first I was hesitant to try this particular backpack, but after I used it a few times (hiking and walking downtown), I've come to really appreciate all the attention to detail!

I'm a bigger guy (5'11, 215 lbs) and I had absolutely no problem adjusting the shoulder and waist straps to be comfortable. My 2 year old daughter was also delighted with the sunshade and the included stirrups. The baby seat adjusting is super convenient, and my wife (5'2, 125 lbs) was also able to adjust it to fit her comfortably within 30 seconds. Even though it probably isn't recommended, it was incredibly easy to hoist my daughter up on my back with no assistance from the wife.

We haven't used the included changing pad (it's in an inconvenient location), but the extra storage in the kickstand area in addition to the included day pack are excellent hideaways for snackies and toys.

There is a space for a bladder (which isn't included, btw), and I was pleased to see I could easily fit my Camelbak brand bladder in the pocket and not have to buy a special Osprey one. Overall, I've got nothing negative to say about this carrier!

Read Best Reviews of Osprey Packs Poco - Premium Child Carrier Here

I really wanted to add a review because this is a new product that just came out in Jan 2012, and there aren't too many reviews on Amazon for it yet. I looked at several different models and did quite a bit of research before purchasing this pack. I am really impressed with the quality of the product! I have only been on a few hikes and a couple of long walks, but so far this backpack is very comfortable. It is so easy to adjust and my little girl loves it. I went with the premium model since I didn't already own a osprey day pack, and because I thought the changing pad was a cool extra. It turns out the plus model would be fine, the detachable pack on the premium has only two pockets, one large, and one little pocket. You would be fine with the large storage space in the stand area. Just know that if you want to close the stand, the storage space that the open stand creates shrinks quite a bit. I just left the stand open and had no problems and I didn't have to remember to open it back up before taking the pack off. The changing pad is really thin and small and hard to access, so it is not a necessity. Other than that this is truly an awesome pack, and I am so glad I got it!

My husband bought this for an extended vacation we took overseas -the backpack worked great for areas where we couldn't use a stroller. It was a great fit for both my husband and me (He has a slight male frame while I have a shorter smaller frame) and distributed our son's weight wonderfully. Continued use over a period of days didn't leave us with back or shoulder aches either. We loved that the outer backpack provided extra storage and there was also plenty of room in the area at the bottom of the bag. We do recommend however, that if you use this for cold weather hiking (like we did) that you bundle up our little one. We found that while the air venting on the sides of the backpack are great for summer, they're a bit chilly for your child during the winter. We got around it by layering clothing and using an extra blanket to buffer wind. Also, we were able to use our Kelty adjustable raincover easily with this bag -just another little reason we've loved it!

Knomo Kobe Messenger Bag

Knomo Brompton 54-105 Cross Body,Tabac,One SizeI recently purchased this bag and was very pleased with the quality, styling and price. I did a lot of online research to replace a TUMI bag I had used for years at work. After getting tired of finding the same bland and boring black nylon messenger bag, I stumbled across Knomo in a magazine article. The quality is very good with detailed/contrasting stitching, fine leather exterior, padded orange interior with multiple size compartments for just about everything. The nickel ends to the shoulder straps are nicely finished and look very modern and durable. I am certain this bag will last me for years to come! The Amazon price is also a lot less than other sites I searched. If you are looking for a simple, modern and elegant bag I would definitely recommend the Kobe Messenger Bag by Knomo!

I purchased a very similar bag from Knomo and really liked it when I got it, BUT when the seam which holds the shoulder strap on one side split wide open, and I called and sent pictures to Knomo, they were completely unapologetic and unhelpful.

If you can afford to buy a new $300+ bag every 2 years, then this is the bag for you. Other interior pocket seams have also came apart, so this was not just a single bad stitch.

If you expect such a bag to last you for years of good use, you will be sorely disappointed.

Buy Knomo Kobe Messenger Bag Now

I am writing this because when I was doing research for a messenger bag, I couldn't find a lot much feedback from owners of Knomo bags. I encourage more people to write, I think they are make quality products.

I've been using the Kobe Messenger bag for the last couple of months and so far it's everything I was looking for.

It's the perfect size and made with amazing quality and detail. The leather is very soft and the cushiony interior holds my T400 laptop securely. Unlike the previous reviewer my interior is green and not orange.

I used to carry around a backpack and can carry almost everything that I used to. I am looking for a water bottle that will fit in this bag and it would complete everything I need when I go out.

Pros:

Light

Roomy

Strong

Cons:

Wish it was all leather exterior

I hope this review helps and if anyone has questions please feel free to ask.

I thought the bag was great when I got it a few weeks ago. I used it lightly everyday however a few days ago one of the so-called metal ends just broke in half. I am not joking.

I am very familar with metal and it will stretch or deform however this when looked at closer looks like some type of other material. I don't think plastic.

If it is metal then the end pieces supporting the shoulder strap are extremely brittle showing pour quality and cheaper manufacturing which should not be in a bag that costs anywhere near this amount.

I have uploaded a picture so can see it broken for yourself. A picture is worth a thousand words.

I just received my bag today. I am a 30 + yr old Business owner that just finished my BS in Business Management. The bag was a treat from my wife to replace my school bag with a professional bag. So far the appearance and build are great quality. The bag feels fantastic and is able to hold everything I need. Laptop, notepad, cell phone, calculators, newspaper, etc... I will check back in a few weeks as a follow up on build and quality and durability.

I love that you can register the product through Knomo London with a serial number in case it is lost traveling.

Dakine Explorer Pack

Dakine Explorer Pack, StencilI just finished my freshman year in high school and went through two backpacks, on was an expensive Jansport (which the stap ripped) that I spent over 65 bucks on! Then I had a 40 dollar Swiss Army backpack which one of the zippers broke. But this backpack is great! It's a good size, I can fit my books, binders, and everything else in it. And it's not too big that it looks stupid. I love the skateboard carrying straps because I am an active skateboarder. Plus, it looks great, I got the blue stencil and I've gotten many complements! And it's 15% off retail.

-Thanks for reading this review

great quality totaly worth the money if you need a backpack for school. i dont allways even use the laptop pouch because its perfect for a book or binder. 5 stars!!!!!

Awesome style and very durable material! I use this for college and I do a lot of walkin outside. Great for cold weather and wet conditions. Also very comfortable feel when on back.

This pack was purchased for my high schooler after several cheaper ones have failed us in years past. This was great value for the price and is built very sturdy. I love the handle design on the top. Works great.

Generator Rex with Rex Salazar, Bobo HaHa, Agent 6, Captain Callan, Providence Agent - 16" Backpack

Generator Rex with Rex Salazar, Bobo HaHa, Agent 6, Captain Callan, Providence Agent - 16' BackpackMy son was so ecstatic when I told him I'd finally found a Generator Rex backpack. He was sure there was no hope since we'd come up empty last year.

The construction is standard kids backpack, so if you're looking for it to last more than one year you'll be disappointed. As far as a kid pleaser though, this purchase was a complete winner.

Even though the front puffy picture display is plastic, it looks like it will last. The side elastic pockets are nice for little items he plays with on the bus and the front zip section is perfect for an extra change of clothes for the days he just can't stay out of the mud or snow.

I did not know there was a show called Generator Rex until after I named my son Rex. I had a standard diaper bag for him until he was 6 months old and found this. I bought it because it was so cool (my favorite color is orange so it immediately caught my eye, not to mention the big REX on the front of it), and have been using it as my son's diaper/on the go bag for the past 2 years. I take it with me everywhere we go. It has started falling apart from all of the "love" it has received, so I just bought another one. I highly recommend for the durability alone!

Spiketus Rex-ORANGE PEEL-Half Pack Backpack

Spiketus Rex-ORANGE PEEL-Half Pack BackpackMy Grandaughter is 8 and she really wanted this Backpack. She even took me to my computer and showed me where to buy it. I was first reluctant at first, because my first impression was that it was a backpack for punks, not for little children. But then I started thinking that the worst thing you can do it's kill childrens own sense of style and imagination. So I got her the orange half pack.Perfect size for her little body and also very soft and cool. Even both of her parents love it!

At the end,I'm glad I did let her made her own fashion choice. The backpack it's really beautiful!

The backpack is absolutely adorable and functional for younger children. The "spikes" are soft and pliable and they stand up well to wear and tear of little tykes. I recommend the backpack to both girls and boys.

Swiss Gear SA1061 Black Backpack

Swiss Gear SA1061 Black BackpackIts an absolutely cheap quality laptop backpack. It doesn't even have a flap which you usually pull to keep your laptop in. I don't know why Swissgear made such a cheap quality bag. I shouldn't have bought it since this had 0 reviews. I wouldn't even buy it if it were sold for 20 bucks. As soon as I opened the box and touched the bag, I felt its cheap built and horrible design after opening the bag. I am returning it the same day that I got it. Not even gonna try it. It doesn't even have a protective padding on the bottom of the bag to protect your laptop if at all the bag slips while keeping it on the floor or bench.

I would NEVER recommend to buy this bag as a laptop bag.

If you really like the style (which is definitely good and decent) you can buy it as a normal backpack to go to school, sports, etc.

It's a very nice backpack for general use.

If you are searching for a backpack to use with a laptop, go and find something else.

It's not possible to keep safe a laptop.

In general, looks like a very good product (design/build).

This Swiss Gear backpack is very light and well-built. Nylon outer shell quality is better than my existing North Face Recon backpack. Value for money! Thank you Amazon.

This is an addition to my earlier review. I bought it at $20 and wrote my review according to the price. I would not buy this backpack at the current price of $60. I would rather buy Kelty redtail which is much better than this.

Super Mario 14" Backpack Luigi Goomba Koopa

Super Mario 14' Backpack Luigi Goomba KoopaMy 4 year old son is nuts about Mario Brothers. I bought him a suffed Yoshi backpack, but it was more of a stuffed animal than a back pack (I could barely fit my smartphone in thereseriously). So now he just uses it (the Yoshi backpack) to cart around his little Mari Bros figureines. But this backpack here is exactly what I was looking for. He goes to his sitter during the day while I work, so this backpack is just right for toting around extra clothes, games, etc. It'll be great for when he starts school next year. Not too big, not too small, well made and well priced.

Backpack seem to be nice and cheap to be true but actually was better then I imagine my brother loved it
