(12" Mesh Red) Universal Laptop Notebook Sleeve Carying Case - Compatible with Laptop and Portable

(12' Mesh Red) Universal Laptop Notebook Sleeve Carying Case - Compatible with Laptop and Portable Dvd: Compatible with Laptop 12' 13' 15' 17' 14' and Compatible with Portable DVD 8'I love red and black so I got the best of both worlds. I got a slightly larger case and there is just a little extra room. There is a nice mesh pocket on the inside if you have any papers. You can stuff the handles into the valco pockets to hide them or just use them. The zipper mesh pocket has room enough for my mouse and battery/cords. Wonderful case. Only thing that would have been nice was a optional shoulder strap.

It's a little big for my laptop, but I think that was my fault, it just leaves a little wiggle room. Well made and fairly lightwieght.

This bag is ok. Looked better on the website. No frills. Fits my laptop snug. No extra storage for accessories. Do wish it had a shoulder strap. The reason I'm giving 3 stars is that my purchased didn't qualify for free shipping. The bag was on sale but by the time the shipping was added it costs about $26.00. I would not purchase this again it took too long to get from the vendor. I'll stick with merchandise sold by Amazon in the future.

This is a great product. Has a little trouble if you put something in it with edges (i.e., the pronged connector for your ac adapter), but it does exactly what I want it to and fits my notebook perfectly.

Global Warrior Tactical Go Pack Cargo MOLLE 3-Day Bag - Black Backpack

Global Warrior Tactical Go Pack Cargo MOLLE 3-Day Bag - Black BackpackBought this pack to replace one I owned from SOC/BugOut that I bought while in the Army.

Things I like about this pack:

-The exterior is made of the same strong fabric my SOC pack was made of, so it's durable.

-The main compartment zipper is thick and sturdy, as it should be.

-This pack has a hydration bag pocket inside and a port on the top to run the hose through. The pocket is big. I have a 2 or 2.5L bag and there's plenty of room. It should easily hold a 3L.

Things I'm disappointed about:

-The fabric that divides the compartments from one another is that thin polyester crap they use in wal-mart backpacks for kids that sell for $14.97. In the frontmost pocket, I clipped my pocketknife on the edge of an internal organizer pocket; when I removed it, it ripped the hem right off the organizer pocket. Day one, a simple pocket clip already ripped a hole in this stuff. That fabric makes up the front pocket organizer and separates the front compartment from the middle and the middle from the main.

-The shoulder straps are mounted to the pack too close together and the back of the pack itself is a little flimsy (just the canvas material) which results in the pack reshaping when you put in on. The problem is that it shifts the top half of the gear in your pack away from your body, putting undue strain on the shoulder straps (read: on your torso). My SOC pack was sturdy and would hold the gear close to your body, which is important for proper fit/weight distro as well as keeping your silhouette small for close-quarters movement where you don't want your pack catching on anything. On my SOC pack, all of this was adjustable. This pack lacks the proper straps to tighten it and compensate for the problem.

-The shoulder straps are plenty wide, as they should be, and made of the sturdy canvas, but no where near as thick or comfortable as my SOC pack.

-The hip/kidney belt assembly is a joke. The kidney pads are too thin and inadequate to properly put the weight on your hips. The belt is too narrow to fit properly or comfortably. The buckle feels cheap; I dread the day I step on it and it's shot because it most certainly will be.

-This pack does not have an adjustable depth like my SOC pack did. My SOC pack had a zipper that, when unzipped, made the main compartment 3-4in deeper, front to back. This pack lacks that feature, which I loved.

-This pack lacks any straps that go across the bottom to tighten the base and prevent sagging if the pack isn't completely full.

All said, this is an alright bag for someone who isn't doing anything important and won't have their life depending on a pack staying together. For operators, or others with a real or tactical need, this is absolutely the wrong pack. Spend the extra 30-40 bucks and get a name-brand pack from Brigade QM, Supply Captain, etc. If you're on post, just buy one at the PX or MCSS. Trust me, if you don't, you'll wish you'd kicked in the extra $40...

Good luck, Hooah

I'm a law student and recently started riding my bike to school, however, traditional "school" backpacks just weren't big enough for all my books and laptop. This backpack has been perfect, I can easily fit 5 large, hardcover textbooks plus it has a laptop pocket. The front pockets provide ample room for folders, notebooks, pens, and other accessories. It's large, but does not appear overly bulky. While it may have been designed for tactical uses I have found this backpack to be very practical for school.

I seriously adore this backpack. The original intent of the backpack is being able to store things one might need for 3 days. Well, I don't really use it for that purpose, so if you want a review based on that, just skip this one.

I'm a university student, and I can tell you that 4 or more classes means carrying around a lot of textbooks. This backpack is awesome, because I can fit SO MANY books inside it. Not only can I fit all the books I need, I can also fit my laptop and all its accessories inside it. I've also used it for transporting a Playstation 3 and some video games. When staying at my boyfriend's place, I can shove a bunch of clothes and food in it, no problem. I'm the type that likes to be prepared too and so regardless of what I use this backpack for, I always have a first aid kit in one of the various compartments.

Feeling a bit overwhelmed by all the weight you're going to be carrying? Worry not. This backpack has buckling straps that go around your chest and waist. The backpack can't get away from you.

So, the gist is: If you need a backpack that can hold a SERIOUS LOAD of stuff, this is totally the product you want.

Don't let the picture fool you. I was seriously surprised when I got this backpack, because it can fit so much more than I anticipated. It expands a lot. So, from the picture, it kinda looks average-sized, but seriously, this backpack EXPANDS.

I'm former active duty military (now reserve), and it's comparable to an issued assault pack, though it has many more pockets. I use it to commute to school and back (I bike to campus). Probably my biggest complaints are (1) the bottom of the bag isn't that strong, so any items (e.g. laptop) poke out and could get damaged if the backpack is dropped abruptly, (2) no side pockets, and (3) no place to put an mp3 player (though there is a slight hole to insert headphones or probably camelbak straw as well). Anyway it's a good product and definitely reducing my back problems. Thanks.

This bag finally arrived in time for my redeployment back to the states and after testing it out it is definitely what i was looking for and the price was more than convenient. I looked for other bag packs in different site and for a bag similar to this one the prices were no less than 90 or 100 dollars, so paying only 50 for this one resulted in a great purchase!

Travel Depot Bag Color: Grey

Travel Depot Bag Color: GreyWhen I first saw this bag I thought it wad going to be too big and it was too expensive. I got this bag a few months back when I was taking my son on his first plane. We are now about to go out on our second plane flight. this bag is not as large as I thought it was going to be but it still fits EVERYTHING that we could possibly need. Its very organized and easy to find the things you need. It is worth the money.

Update: 2/17/13. I have now used this bag often since I first purchased in in April 2012. It is still in great condition and nice to know it is a very durable bag. I recommend this bag to anyone traveling with kids. It truly makes the trip as easy as possible.

Travelers Choice New Luxembourg 4 Piece Hard-Shell Luggage Collection

Travelers Choice New Luxembourg 4 Piece Hard-Shell Luggage Collection, Navy, LargeThis is a real value for money Hardside Spinner Luggage Sets of 4. 2 Spinner and 2 Rollers. Quality is really good considering the price. Each luggage can with a number security lock (which come as a surprise as it was not stated in the description).

I like the luggage overall. Looks nice, quality is good but when I unrapped it from the boxes the smell was overwhelming. The interior and exterior smells like diesel fuel, maybe from the material used in the manufacturing of the shell of the luggage. I am very concerned that my clothes will smell terribly of fuel when I unpack them. I am going to buy some cedar chips to put inside to try and diffuse the smell alittle bit. Otherwise I am going to wrap my clothes in plastic to avoid the smell.

Revised...12/2012...I have now had the luggage for over two months and used the luggage for a trip to Europe(amazing!)and also on a few weekend getaways. The luggage really held up considering the travel it went through getting to Europe and back to the states. The smell of fuel went away within a week. Not sure if it was from the packaging or shipping process. Overall love the luggage, very good quality, good price, and love the color titanium. Another feature that this luggage has is the expandable sides, which came in handy when bringing back items purchased on our trip. I would definately recommend this product to others.

Ordered for a trip to Disney World. Was impressed with capacity and weight. Packed an entire family of four within the larger two bags (and still had weight to spare). Despite obvious extremely rough handling product held up extremely well. None of the souvenirs were damaged. There were gouges on the luggage were the airline was negligent. One of the rubberized feet was torn off by airline handling.

I give AirTran airline 1 star and this product 5.

This luggage set looks good but that's where the appeal ends. I have owned this product about two months and used it twice. It's now ready for the trash as the shell has already broken from cracks and punctures due to airport handling and cold temperatures. The shell materials appears carbon fiber like but is actually a thin fiberglass material that is made brittle buy the cold of jet cargo holds where it easily shatters. Although the price is appealing, Don't wast your money. Spend a little extra and get something much more durable like ABS.

The whole set survived it's first trip from NY to FL and back. On the way back two of them lost their pretty little shields due to the handlers, aside from that we're happy with how they held up against the travel, freezing cold, and handlers.

AmeriBag Healthy Back Bag Micro-Fiber Small

AmeriBag Small Classic Microfiber Healthy Back Bag,Taupe,one sizeI purchased my Microfiber Healthy Back Bag to use while my nylon one was being repaired under warranty (the key clip broke). Although the nylon one has been returned to me, I haven't bothered to switch back to it. The microfiber bag is lighter weight and seems to be a little tougher more difficult to scar on the exterior. I think it's worth the extra cost to get the microfiber bag based on weight and durability.

This is the 2nd one of these that I've owned. They're very durable & sturdy! The first one I had, I used for over 6 years every day. OK so I'm not the type who changes bags w/ every outfit. Only reason I bought a new one is because I machine washed the 1st one a couple of times & it was (finally) starting to look a little faded. It's such a practical shape & size w/o being bulky or distracting. The way it hangs & expands is deceptively accommodating. I've used it on travel & stuffed lots of snacks in it for the movies & probably fit as much in it as someone else might put into a small backpack. I like the microfiber version because it's lighter than what I assume the leather would be and I think the fabric ones might attract & show a little more dirt. You can view all the different styles on the Ameribag.com website. I would've bought the special edition w/ the black-on-black embroidered "I Love my Life" on it but it was quite a bit more ($75). One thing I noticed w/ this new bag is that it has a slightly different strap buckle. Holds better than the 1st one, which tended to slide. I would secure it w/ large safety pin on the inside of the strap near the bottom & it was barely noticeable. The original one also came w/ a wrap-around shoulder pad that they apparently don't include on this newer one. I took it off the old one & snapped it onto the strap of the new one. And same like I did on the first one, I carefully removed the 2 plastic squares of the hook-side of the Velcro patches, which tended to be 'scratchy' when pulling my hand in & out of the side pockets. All in all a great practical bag!

I received my third Ameribag Healthy Back Bag promptly from Amazon this afternoon. These bags really do take the pressure off your back, and the straps have a pebbled surface which keeps them on your shoulder. There are two generous outside pockets, one zippered and one with a Velcro flap. The zippered outside pocket has another Velcro-fastened pocket just behind it for stashing receipts, tickets, and such. I've never lost an item from an Ameribag Healthy Back Bag. My pocket umbrella fits in the long, narrow pocket on the curved outside of the bag.

The silver lining helps me locate everything inside the bag, so I don't lose things at the bottom. Just inside the bag, adjacent to the zipper is a short, elastic key leash, so I always know where my keys are. I slip my cellphone into the handy small pocket and can carry a small water bottle in the long,narrow pocket at the back of the bag. There are two large slip pockets, narrow ones for pens, and a zippered one for a wallet and/or credit card carrier. There's plenty of room for a tablet and/or Kindle, too. My big sunglass case AND regular glasses case will fit in the bag along with a small camera in its case. I can stash coupons and/or a guidebook into the outer pocket. I sometimes stuff in a couple of "Envirosacs" to grocery shop. The strap can be lengthened to carry in front of you or across your body as well as over your shoulder.

While Healthy Back Bags may not be the height of fashion, they are not hard on the eyes and are wonderfully functional bags for everyday use and travel. They are also big enough to hold a little bag if you want to leave this one locked up someplace as you go out. I got the black microfiber one this time, and it is very attractive and smooth. I have a distressed nylon one, too, and a medium size (which to me is huge!) which I take on longer day trips where I might be putting my sweater, souvenirs, and books when traveling. I've washed them on the delicate cycle or simply spot cleaned my others, and they've stayed fresh-looking. I love designer bags and own a couple of them, but for comfort and functionality, you cannot beat these bags! They are terrific!

I saw this bag at the Relax the Back Store and was pleased to find that Amazon had them at a much better price so I was able to get two (black, brown) for the price of "one." Unfortunately, months later, I find that the material is very hard to clean. Something as simple as a sunblock smear doesn't rinse or wash out in the machine. My bags, even after washing, now carry every stain, smear and sweaty mark they've managed to acquire in the past few months. I find this kind of strange but then I've never had a microfiber bag before. I'll keep washing them and hoping they bounce back to their original clean form but I'm wondering if I should have saved up for the leather versions.

Material: 2-3 stars

Bag: 5 stars

The bag itself is really terrific. I love the pockets. It is really comfortable on back surprisingly and I can switch from side to side if one side hurts. It's amazing how much I can stuff inside of it and the way it is organize inside means that I can FINALLY stay organized, too.

Clear PVC Backpack by Ensign Peak

All Clear PVC Backpack by Ensign PeakWe bought this as a replacement backpack for my daughter to use for school. Within one week the straps started to come off the top. Now the bottom straps are coming off. I would not use this backpack to carry anything more significant than a copy of Newsweek magazine and a CD as pictured in the product description.

My job requiers all personal items to be carried in a see through bag. this pak is perfect for that. I'm able to carry my first aid items, personal medications, and lunch without sacraficing security.

The backpack came just as described. We used it at the Florida theme parks, and were not delayed by security dumping out or looking through our bag. They could see everything inside and just passed us on. Many thanks for such a useful item.

We've now purchased two more of these. They are cheaply made. The vinyl does tear easily. But they are very cheaply priced. I expected to replace it often, and I was not disappointed. Don't buy it if you are looking for something sturdy.

Want Clear PVC Backpack by Ensign Peak Discount?

This bag was just as described, heavy PVC. Working in a prison means checking your bag before you enter. That usually means stopping, opening up the bag and showing it's contents. Now I just walk by and lift it up and turn it once, no stopping. So far the only flaw is a missed stich area about an inch and a half long. A little stiching of my own and it will be perfect. It is durable as I leave it out in my car. We have had many a night below 10 degrees and it does not effect the bag whatsoever.

NC Star First Responder Utility Bag BLK

NC Star First Responder Utility Bag BLKCarry this in the car as a 'Go Bag'. High quality! Can't beat the price! NC Star products are very well made and fairly priced. I also use one of their light mounts for my surefire on my AR.

I was a bit concerned when I purchased this product. I originally wanted Maxpeditions' version of this bag. I really didn't want to spend the extra dough. However, as it turns I am really happy with this bag. I carry my .40 cal, a crank radio, and a bunch of other stuff to get me home or keep me alive. The bag is very spacious and the Molle webbing allows me to attach extra pouches when I go camping. It is holding up very well to the beating I put on it. Better than expected.

The bag is very practical and pockets are generally well laid out, allowing good organization of all everyday carry essentials. It is also good as a range bag. Zippers don't really look that "heavy dutty" buy they have been able to take some overstuffing working smoothly. Stitching seems good to. The only thing I would improve in this is the shoulder strap. It is made of a thick but too flexible nylon which makes it twist constantly making it unconfortable. The integrated shoulder pad lacks any cushion and runs free along the strap,so it is not really much help. If the strap had a cushioned pad and had a stiffer material, it would be 5 star. Still great value.

Osprey Stratos 24 Backpack

Osprey Packs Stratos 24 BackpackThis nice-sized daypack is solidly constructed, with much attention to detail, multiple small pockets, and an excellent ventilated panel that keeps your back from getting sweat-soaked. But, it can be a pain to get things out of the main compartment. I carried it for at least half-a-day, four days in a row.

All the attention to detail tells me this product was designed/tested by people who actually use daypacks. Things like the mini-pocket on the shoulder strap being at the exact right place where I could open it without contorting. The sturdy zippers that all have large pulls. The cinch straps that can be used for attaching lightweight items. The removable rain cover. Openings for the tube of a hydration pack.

And here's a big feature: the pack sits the same way on my back when full and loaded heavily, as when empty. I've never encountered such a balanced design on a small pack before.

More than once I found myself surprised that things worked the way I'd have designed them. "I don't want to carry this rain cover to the desert, I wish I could take it out-oh wait, it detaches!".

But on the negative side: I wish the waist belt would detach too (I usually don't use it, why can't I leave it behind?).

The pack's shape is balanced on my back, but not when it's on the ground -it doesn't stand upright when set down, either empty or full. So unless you carefully balance it (the curved shape puts the weight in a weird off-center spot), the pack may end up falling over into the water, or mud, or whatever else. I expect to take my daypack off regularly, so that's a hassle.

And the big negative: it should be easier to get things out of the main compartment of the pack. Even with the cinch straps loosened all the way, getting items out of the bottom of the pack is tedious-they hang up on the material and on each other, because of the curved inside. Contents as commonplace as small SLR camera, a paperback book, and a bottle of water (with stuff loaded in the outside pockets, bottles in the drink holsters) are enough to make it a brief struggle each time I want to extract one of those items.

So, I dock one star for having to struggle with getting things in/out of the primary compartment, and the pack not standing upright on its own. A daypack implies to me usage during an activity (not through-hiking or backpacking), when you'll be stopping and accessing the pack regularly. Making this process cumbersome seems out of place on an otherwise stellar design.

Recommended.

I am a huge Osprey fan; I bought the Osprey Focus about 4 years ago, and when it finally wore out (after I dragged that thing everywhere), Osprey replaced it with an equally awesome bag, the Quantum. Therefore, when I needed to buy my husband a daypack for our hiking trip, I was sold on getting him an Osprey. The Stratos was a great choice. The contoured, breathable back helped wick sweat off his back and was very comfortable. It holds more than it looks like it holds; we kept it stuffed throughout the trip and it held up well. It has sturdy hip pads, and a smaller pocket that was good for holding wallets, compasses, keys, etc. The side mesh pockets are great, too. They are very deep, so you can toss water bottles in there and they won't fall out, even over rock scrambles and falling in a river. I love my Quantum and it has held up well on day hikes, biking, and everyday use, but after this trip, I'm definitely tempted to get myself a Stratos, too. One thing to note: The Stratos, like most Ospreys and good daypacks, build up, rather than out. For people used to bookbags, this can be surprising and make it seem like the bag doesn't hold as much. It does. It also means that you have to be a bit strategic about how you pack, but the benefit is a much more comfortable hike with less stress on your lower back and better balance. Definitely worth it. It is also worth keeping in mind that the Stratos is really intended to be a hiker's bag. If you are looking for an all-round bag that you can take hiking but will mostly use on a daily basis (groceries, biking, walking, school, work, whatever), then think about the Quantum and other bags in that series--it is a better allround bag. But for a dedicated dayhike bag, the Stratos is great.

I highly recommend the Osprey brand. The bags are quality and the customer service is outstanding--seriously one of the best companies I've ever dealt with.

I am quite impressed with the fit and finish of this pack. It has one of those "trampoline" air flow systems (a taut mesh suspension that keeps the pack hovering off of your back) which is unbeatable in hot weather. Sure, it pushes the load out a bit, but the comfort advantage is well worth it. I have had problems in the past with packs not being long enough for my spine, but the Large size version of the Stratos 24 feels like it was tailored to my body. I'm using the pack for bike commutes and day hikes.

Kroo Amazon Exclusive Black SPORT-X Check Point Backpack for up to 13.3-Inch NoteBooks

Kroo Amazon Exclusive Black SPORT-X Check Point Backpack for up to 13.3-Inch NoteBooksIt works great and seems to be constructed very well. For what I paid for it , I can't complain. I just wish I could hold more in it. It is so full of padding that I have to cram things into it. I definitely don't have to worry about my laptop and Ipad getting damaged with all the padding ti provides. It just seems like overkill.

There is very little interior space in this backpack. From front to back, it's narrow. And the fabric is stiff, so it doesn't flex to allow more stuff to be fit inside. I was barely able to fit my quart-size baggie of liquids (as per security guidelines), a medium-size notebook pad, a Kindle, and a small purse (clutch-sized) inside. And I still had to take everything out to access what was out the bottom, because there's not enough room in the backpack for my arms with only those few items.

Also, as you can see in the photo, there are no front pockets. There are also no side pockets--no drink carrier nets. You have to unzip the thing from the top to access your wallet, keys, phone, and other small items. Very inconvenient.

That being said, the unzip-all-the-way-down-the-middle feature definitely simplifies security screening at the airport. So three stars for that.

I had a similar bag from Targus that was roomier. With the Targus bag, I was able to put my liquid baggie between the large sections of the bag. As a result, unzipping simultaneously made my laptop ready for screening and and enabled me to extract my baggie. Sadly, this bag is too small for that. A completely full quart-size baggie of liquids is a super tight squeeze in the center of the backpack.

Go Diego Go Toddler Mini Backpack To the Rescue!

Go Diego Go Toddler Mini Backpack To the Rescue!It definitely is "Mini." Smaller than what I thought it would be, but is actually is PERFECT for our 20 month old to take to school. She (Yes, SHE, is a huge Diego fan) can carry it herself. And being that it is on the smaller side, it can't be loaded down. We put a sippy cup, snack, 2 diapers, and pacifier, light weight sweater.

Once she puts it on, she doesn't want to take it off! Super cute. And durable.

My 2.5 yr old daughter is thrilled with her new backpack but I wish it was just a little larger. It's a good size for her to carry her supplies in for a hiking trip etc but not big enough to be used for an overnight bag or for extras to go to daycare. Good construction and has easy access openings which my daughter can manage on her own.

BUILT Neoprene Sleeve for 6-inch e-Reader or Tablet, Black

BUILT Neoprene Sleeve for 6-inch e-Reader or Tablet, BlackI spent ages looking for a case for my new kindle and was so disappointed with the collection in the Kindle Store. I like to read without a cover on the kindle and was just looking for something to protect the kindle in my bag or when not in use. I was going to purchase the Built Sleeve but wasn't keen about no closure on it as concerned about kindle falling out or other items getting in. This model was on Built's website but not in the Kindle Store and it's perfect for my needs and $10 cheaper which is a plus. The quality of the city grid is fantastic with a fun orange interior, the kindle fits perfectly inside and the zip is angled so no chance of damaging the screen.

K-Cliff Mesh Backpack for School Student/ Clear Backpack/ School Backpack

Black Color K-Cliff Mesh Backpack for School Student/ Clear Backpack/ School BackpackI purchased this for carrying wet swimming pool toys. The shoulder straps and mesh are plenty sturdy and the mesh allows stuff to dry without getting stinky. The front pocket is a little shallower than in many backpacks, but adequate. As a swimming pool bag, this pack was well worth the $9.99 with free super saver shipping and is cheaper than others available. If you plan to use the pack as a book bag, you probably should go with one of the higher end more expensive models.

I purchased this backpack for my daughter's first year of middle school. The school regulations require either mesh or clear backpacks. I was skeptical at first since I could not physically touch this backpack or give it a pull to check durability. I was plesantly surprised to find upon the backpack's arrival, that the material is strong and very durable, pick resistant (we tried with a notebook wire and were unable to create a snag in the fabric) and spacious enough to carry a middle-schooler's load of books and notebooks. My only real dislike was the selection of colors for this bag. I would like to see the manufacturer add more color selections to this particular style of backpack, the 4 colors available are great but I think purple, pink, and green would make nice choices. Quality, 5 stars. Selection, 4 stars. Price, 5 stars. Overall 5 stars.

I purchased two mesh bacpacks one red one navy blue due to "new school rules" both of my sons loved how much room they had, also how comfortable they are. These are great products for a good price. If you have students in high school (like me) or in college due to the book size you can not put all of your stuff inside so just be careful on how you pack this type backpack.

This fit our needs perfectly each boy carries his own suit, towel, toys, goggles, flip flops,... to the pool or beach, and the stuff doesn't get stinky on the long drive home because of the mesh. Would be nice to have more color options, but we solved that issue. Two kids chose the same color, but a stripe of fabric paint across the zipper area differentiates them nicely.

I purchased this backpack for my son who is in 6th grade and he absolutely loves it. He keeps everything in it even when he's not in school. He's used it for camping and sleepovers. It's nice and light for him to carry and also easy to spot because it doesn't look like everyone else's bag. It was extremely well priced and I would definitely recommend this bag for purchase.
