Ogio Hip Hop Messenger Bag

Ogio Hip Hop Messenger Bag - Black 108096I'm a computer tech and this bag holds everything I need to make a service call. Comfortable to wear and stays securely on one shoulder. The cell phone pocket seemed small, but holds an iPhone 4 very well. Any phone larger may not work. The sunglasses pocket is large enough to hold a hard sided glasses case, making the bottom location a non-issue. Get it while you can!

I already own an Ogio Hip Hop bag in brown. I have had it for over two years and have put it through some harsh treatment and it is still together, looking good, and has always protected my laptop and gear. I went ahead and purchased another bag in black just to have an additional bag in a different color scheme. These bags are top notch!

It's a great bag, I have a 16 inch laptop that fits perfectly, it has all the right compartments and seems to be really tough. It fits a lot of stuff and is very comfortable for cycling.

I mostly use this for transporting tech (laptop, iPad, phone, cables, etc) and minor items to and from work, and it does the job very well. I recently brought it with me on a flight, and it just barely stuck out from under the seat when laid flat nothing that'll get in the way if you're cognizant of where it is.

Likes:

*Construction seems very durable.

*Compartments not too many, not to few.

Dislikes:

*Strap Sewn to the "D-rings" and not replaceable without cutting it. I'd much rather see a clip that rotates to avoid playing the "how do I untwist this strap" game.

*Phone compartment Too small to fit an iPhone 5, and I imagine most larger Android phones, too. But, honestly, I wouldn't use it anyway since my phone is always kept in my front pocket.

I have owned this about 5 months and I've been very happy with it. I only have one small complaint. The shoulder-strap is attached and cannot be removed. The strap itself is of good quality, but it bunchs up on one of the corners where it connects to the bag. It by no means effects the use of the bag, but it seems to be a simple design flaw that should should have been remedied. I have owned several Ogio products over the years and I continue to be satisfied with all of them.

Kelty Women's Yuma Daypack

Kelty Women's Yuma DaypackI've had for about a month now & so far I love this backpack! I'm 5'4" and the straps are fine for me. It fits alot of stuff (I frequently carry gym clothes/sneakers or stop on the way home for groceries), and all without the zippers splitting open. The side pockets hold in your water bottles and commuter mugs (they don't pop out like other bags). The mesh pocket is handy for sunglasses, etc. it doesn't fit my bike helmet, but I have a Nutcase which is rather large. Overall love it!

I use a backpack when we go on day trips and this will be perfect. Lots of zippers and space. The straps are a little harder than I would like but hopefully they will get better with use.

I used this for my trip to Seattle. The backpack is great to use as a carry-on. It is a little difficult to put it on.

Tenba Shootout 632-642 Convertible Photo Sling Bag Small (Silver/Black)

Tenba Shootout 632-642 Convertible Photo Sling Bag SmallI bought this bag in black/olive color (632-641). Originally I didn't give it much thought and passed over it since I wanted a bag I could swing around to my waist and you wouldn't think a backpack style bag can do that. Appearances can be deceiving.

This bag is designed to swing around for access without having to take it off your shoulder. What appears to be a zipper pouch (in the Amazon photo of the product it's the zipper section on the lower left side of the bag) is actually a door that opens to the interior of the bag. The shoulder strap is designed to be worn over your right shoulder, down across your chest, and buckles to the bag on the lower left side. With this arrangement, if you swing the bag around to your front (without removing it from your shoulder or disconnecting the strap) the entire bag will NOW be positioned in front of you, sideways, and just above waist level. What's more, that zipper door on the 'lower left' side of the bag will now be on 'top' of the bag. This means you have access to your spare lenses, accessories, flash, etc. without actually needing to remove the bag. There is a second smaller strap that connects from the lower right corner of the bag and snaps to a buckle on the front of the shoulder strap this gives it more stability so it can't slide around if you're hiking. For occasional use it is not necessary to connect the second strap and there's a sleeve on the side of the bag to tuck in the strap when it's not being used (so you don't have a dangling strap).

The entire inside appears to be two compartments. One on the top of the bag (which has padded baffles to allow the camera and lens to rest face-down inside the bag), and a lower section with numerous adjustable dividers (velcro). The entire "floor" that separates the top from the bottom is also attached via velcro and can be adjusted to any height, allowing you to apportion space to the top section vs. the bottom section.

The full padded back of the bag (the part that would rest against your back) also zippers completely open. It zippers open down the left, bottom, and right sides of the bag.

Everything on the inside is adjustable. All baffles, dividers, and floor sections are connected using velcro and can be repositioned.

The right-side of the bag (not visible in the Amazon product picture) has a pair of adjustable straps intended to attach a small tripod or mono-pod. There is also a non-adjustable strap on the bottom of the bag which could be used to attach or hang an extra accessory.

Tenba "Shootout" series bags are designed for outdoor use with exposure to weather. The zippers are all designed to be fairly weather-tight. Every zipper has a vinyl seal so the teeth are not exposed when the zippers are closed. The bag is not "waterproof" but is "water-resistant" and would have no problem with medium rain or spray. The bag also comes with a rain slick which covers every side of the bag *except* the back-pad -this is suitable for protection if you're caught in more severe weather.

I think this bag has better quality than just about any of the other bags I looked at. I only gave it four stars (instead of 5) because some of the areas of this bag were just a little too small. My camera outfit includes a camera body with an 18-55mm zoom, a 55-250mm zoom, a 60mm macro lens, a dedicated flash, diffuser, a large battery shoe (mates to bottom of the DSLR), as well as some smaller items such as filters, remote shutter release, spare batteries & charger . Capacity-wise the bag is large enough. But organizationally, the whole point of the bag is to allow me to switch lenses, get to my flash, etc. without having to take the bag off my back. It took a while to find any arrangement of the adjustable compartments that would allow everything to fit in the bag, but I had to sacrifice accessibility and take the bag off my back in order to access what I needed. The dividers in the lower section seem designed with the assumption that you'll open the full back to get inside the bag. If positioned to allow access from the side door the dividers are a bit too tall and it was difficult to get various accessories in and out of the bag easily (it would have helped if the side door was a bit larger). If the camera (I used a Canon EOS Rebel T1i) is in the top section pointed down (which is how they intend for it to be stored) the floor dividing the upper and lower sections needed to be repositioned because the 18-55mm lens (which isn't particularly long) was too tall. Repositioning the floor took away so much space from the lower section that my gear really didn't fit anymore, and created a lot of wasted space in the top (of course this is a matter of how much gear you have -on the positive side you could fit a camera with a very very long lens inside the bag if you wanted.

I love the product construction quality (it's not flimsy) and the cleverness of the design, but I think the baffles & dividers need to be made for better accessibility from the side door (which is the whole point of the bag).

I think this bag would be ideal for someone with fewer accessories & lenses. Tenba makes a 'medium' size version of this same bag which I haven't tried yet, but I do plan to check it out and see if it works a little better.

Tenba has a video tour of the bag on their own website for better views and demonstrates how to wear and use the sling bag.

Nikon D90, 18-200mm, 50mm prime, 105mm Micro, GoPro with case and accessories, Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS1, spare batteries and chargers, men's tri-fold wallet, Motorola Droid Bionic and hardshell eye glass case. These are the items I carried in the Tenba 641 on a recent trip to Alaska. No problem with TSD. I stowed this bag with items mentioned under my seat on Alaska Airlines.

Comfortable, functional and ergonomic.

I was expecting a bigger bag to fit my camera body and all the lenses but it wasn't big enough to fit all. Product does look much bigger in picture than in person. Overall, the quality and make of the bag is excellent. Wish it just had more space.

I wanted one case to carry my two Sony NEX 5N cameras with mounted medium lenses and extra lenses and this case case is perfect for that. I would not buy the case for standard sized DSLRs. My case fits the two cameras (one in the top compartment, the other at the bottom, each with a mounted OLED viewfinder) as well as the 18-200 Sony zoom and three others.

The case comes with a plastic rain shield, ties on the side for a tripod/monopod (but no cup at the bottom to stop it from slipping), a zipper that opens the entire back of the case on two sides (not three) and three zippered compartments, one on the side that also gives access to the inside. There is also a zippered, snap pocket on the strap that barely fits the length of an iPhone 5 when pushed. A thin, hidden waist strap that connects with the main strap tucks into the bottom edge of the case.

If you have a NEX-sized camera collection or the equivalent I recommend the case. People with DSLR equipment will need a larger size. This case is made in China but is of typical Tenba quality.

Chrome Berlin Messenger Bag Black/Red, One Size

Chrome Berlin Messenger Bag Black/Red, One SizeRidiculously huge. Seriously. I lost a family of raccoons in there for a week --turns out they were just hiding between the mini-fridge and my lunch-box collection I had stashed in one of the front pockets. Fixed the "it doesn't have a padded floor" problem that causes a bit of laptop breakage when tossing the Berlin casually on the ground by putting my entire XL Timbuktu bag INSIDE of the interior pocket. Absurdly giant. The new cross-strap rids you of the problem of your jacka$$ friends undoing your front Chrome buckle as a joke, leaving your right arm free to punch them directly in the face without having to save your 82 lbs. of whatever-the-hell-you-want-to-carry from crashing to the ground. Replace "punch them" with "mace", "stab" or "blackjack" and you get the idea: this bag turns you into a willful wrecking machine with a zombie-apocalypse worth of hillbilly-hideout gear stashed on your back. Be forewarned, though: turning in tight spaces will require more spacial judgement than your average NASA physicist has at their disposal; be prepared to knock everything in a 5-foot radius over if you decide to spin around suddenly. Mistakes will be made, and $#!t will get broken.

I used to own a Kremlin bag that Chrome made before the Berlin. Overall, I was happy with it, but there were some issues I had.

Apparently, the Berlin is Chrome's response to customer feedback on the Kremlin. They removed a few things and added some.

Among the differences:

1) the Kremlin had two layers in the main compartment and you were able to take the inner layer completely out if you needed to. The Berlin no longer has this feature, I guess because people were seldom able to put the inner lining back the same as before they took it out;

2) a large pocket is now available on the rim of the Berlin on the open side and it seals with Velcro;

3) the single pocket on the outside of the Kremlin is now two pockets on the Berlin, one of which has a smaller zipper pocket on the outside, which is good for carrying keys or a wallet. The two main pockets do not have closures. There is even a small slot for pens between them;

4) despite the large carrying capacity of the Kremlin, couriers reported that even though the Kremlin could hold a large, heavy load, the main strap wasn't always able to prevent the bag from sliding-around, which could result in a crash. The Berlin now features a cross-strap, so that it comes down like an X over your chest.This distributes the weight better and makes it more secure. The extra strap is ingeniously concealed in a compartment over one shoulder;

5) the Kremlin's "secret stash pocket" is gone from the Berlin. It was the first thing I looked for when my Berlin arrived; and

6) while the Kremlin came in a variety of colors, the Berlin is only available in either black or grey.

Chrome still has excellent customer service. When I've had issues with their products, my issues were quickly resolved with courtesy and professionalism.

The Berlin is an excellent purchase!

Chrome does great messenger bags in different sizes, this one is the largest I think, but even though it's really large an can contain a lot of stuff, it is still comfortable especially when riding your bicycle

I really like this bag. I used to carry about 4-6 programming books in my bag (language references -and those of you in software development know how heavy those are), and this bag can fit them easily. While it's not going to work miracles on the strain on your back/shoulders (now, I only carry one or two), but it's definitely going to allow you to fit a laptop, some books (textbook size), and a change of clothes (gym clothes, or regular) without really filling this bag up.

There are separate sections, though beware -this is truly a messenger bag and not an office tote. You'll need to maintain organization on your own (there is only one main compartment with a smaller sleeve style pocket (in addition to the miscellaneous pockets on the front). The additional strap is an awesome feature. Especially when you're carrying a lot of heavy stuff. It's also not padded for a laptop (it's not a laptop bag, but you can buy a sleeve to fit), but you can fit a good deal of stuff from Costco when you go shopping for bulk items (save on those boxes!).

The style is decent, but it's big. That's an understatement. It's huge! I'm a pretty big guy, and it spans about my entire back. That being said, it's not a fashion statement. It's not ugly, but it's large and I wouldn't call it the next big thing.

All in all, this bag is an all-purpose workhorse, and it does its job well.

Detatchable Wheeled Leather Laptop Briefcase

Detatchable Wheeled Leather Laptop BriefcaseGonna keep it short but let y'all know I had a Swiss Army bag before this that was decent but the handle was not well made (something that you will see on reviews all over the place about those bags) and had to get a new bag.

Well. I decided to splurge and go for the "image" of leather and have now not only gotten that but the quality of this Mcklein bag. This bag is awesome.

Well made. Excellent stitching, quality zippers, great (and silent) wheels and from what I can tell a solid handle.

All around I'm very happy with this bag and I gotta tell you the compliments from clients on its looks don't hurt my attitude toward it.

Buy one and improve your image and quality of life!

I purchased this rolling laptop case for my wife 3 months ago and although she's only been using it everyday for about 6 weeks now, the finish is coming off all over the bag. It's a beautiful bag when it arrives, looks very professional (she got lots of compliments), but my wife is upset because the brown coloring is fading in places from rubbing, and will come off instantly if scratched showing a black color underneath it. I cannot return it at this point, but would if I could. I can only speak for the brown color, I do not know if this is an issue in the black color.

Having said this, the bag is sturdy and very roomy, tons of space for a laptop, office supplies, papers, notebooks, binders, water bottles or whatever. She recently went to New Orleans and used the bag as her carry on (must detach the metal frame) and it worked perfectly. Again giving her plenty of storage. Zippers are high quality, leather seems to quality as well, my only concern here is the premature fading of the finish. I suspect her bag will look very used and much older than it really is a year from now. Good luck.

I gave this product 4 out of 5 stars. The leather is not that great, but it will do. Everything else about it is good. It detaches easily from the base to carry by hand or over the shoulder. It has nice compartments to hold all of your important papers and laptop accessories. The bag is a good buy and a good value.

Read Best Reviews of Detatchable Wheeled Leather Laptop Briefcase Here

Great bag...just like my last one; I loved it. Unfortunately, I'm returning it because they advertise that the laptop compartment is 18 x 12.5 x 2. It is on the bottom, but the top is rounded before your square laptop will fit. So you can carry it exposed, or you can order a different brand bag. Don't be fooled by the manufacturer's specs! Really sucks, because it is a great bag...very versatile, lasts forever. I've wheeled my old one through the winter streets of Minneapolis and Chicago on many occasions...it always arrived looking great, always held all my stuff...you couldn't beat it.

Want Detatchable Wheeled Leather Laptop Briefcase Discount?

I bought this case some time ago from Amazon. It was signifcantly cheaper than anywhere else retail store or online. It can be compact enough to remove from wheel base and hold over your shoulder with files and a laptop or expand to fit a laptop, a tablet, several files, chargers, gadgets, and gizmos or a laptop, a few files, and an outfit and shoes. The wheels are solid and have had their abuse. It fits in the overhead bin on flights. The only trouble I have had is that I sometimes press the button that allows the handle to go down into the case by accident. But VERY RARELY. Definitely worth the price and looks nice to boot!

Millet Big Powder 18 Backpack

Millet Big Powder 18 BackpackI tried really hard to find a review or comments about this backpack because it had features that I really liked. I couldn't find any so I gave it a shot anyway. When it came in, I was very disappointed because it is tiny. I loved all of the features, particularly the places to put gear. If I could make it about 3 times bigger, then it would be exactly what I wanted. This would probably only fit comfortably on a 12 year old. I am not a very large guy, but I could not even wear the backpack over my shoulders and get it to close around my waist. If you are taking young kids skiing or hiking, then this would probably be a great pack. If you are an adult and want to be comfortable and fit much of anything in your pack, then definitely look elsewhere. I still gave it 5 stars because is really well designed, just for someone small.

SwissGear LEGACY WA-7329-14F00 Carrying Case Backpack for 15.6 inches Notebook-Black WA-7329-14F00

SwissGear LEGACY WA-7329-14F00 Carrying Case Backpack for 15.6 inches Notebook-Black WA-7329-14F00The bag is just the right size and seems durable. The checkpoint-friendly feature means the bag opens like a clamshell and lies flat on an airport scanbelt. This is a super convenient timesaver for those of us who travel. It means one less thing I've to hunt down after the TSA scanning. Two things I think are neccesities, but were just skipped a cell phone pocket on the shoulder strap; a sleeve on the back near the bottom to slip the backpack onto a rolling luggage handle. There is a strap on the top for this purpose, but the backpack isn't secure when attached and moves off the luggage.

I bought this from Costco.com. Both the laptop and the separate folder compartments are a good size. The small pocket on top is great for keys, ipod, phone, etc. I like the side pockets for a water bottle and umbrella. It is fairly comfortable when fully loaded (heavy!). I travel a lot and the checkpoint friendly feature is a huge positive.

Cons -

Like another review, it would be nice to have a way to attach to a roller suitcase and a phone/ipod pouch on the strap.

It is a bit big to fit under some airline seats. (doesn't help that I fill it).

My main dislike is that the handle on top broke after I had it for about 4 months. I am working with Wenger on a replacement now. I hope they come through on the lifetime warranty.

******

Update-They came through with a new backpack. The process was very simple. I just needed to provide the product codes, receipt, several pictures of what was broken, $10 for shipping and fill out a questionnaire. Once I pal pal-ed them the money, it arrived about a week later. I didn' have to return the old one and be w/out. Very happy with their service.

I am mixed that I got the same one with the checkpoint friendly feature (plus) but think that the handle is a design flaw (minus) and will have to go through this again.

Did lots of research before buying this one & thankfully the research has paid off with this bag. The quality & the make of the bag is simply awesome kudos to Swiss gear.

The best part of the bag is the laptop section where the padding is done very nicely & it fits my 15.6" 9 cell battery laptop very smoothly. All other sections of the bags are very well laid out & there is ample of space for files/books. The shoulder straps are also comfortable since at first I felt the bag itself might be heavy & along with all my stuff the shoulder straps would be a bit uncomfortable but it turned out to be pretty good.

I give a strong buy for this bag!!!

I have traveled extensively with this bag, and it's holding up very well with very little wear compared to my old Dell bag. The tsa friendly laptop compartment makes the security hassle a little less painful. Plenty of compartments keep me organized, and I know exactly where everything is. Wonderful bag, if I had to buy a replacement, I would buy the same bag again.

I think this bag is great. It's a lot easier on my back than the previous one I was carrying and I feel like my 15" mac book pro is safe and secure. The main drawback is I am very limited w/ the number of case books I can squeeze in along w/ binders. I'm working around it and figure I probably don't need to carry 3 case books on my back anyway. Also the little flap thing over the top of the laptop section is unnecessary and gets in the way. But it's a great purchase and I recommend.

Everest Junior Slant Backpack

Everest Junior Slant BackpackIt's hard to tell from the pictures provided, but this is a small backpack. My 9 year old wanted an extra backpack to take toys to his friend's houses, and this has sufficed, but only just. It's sized for a preschooler, but would not work as a school backpack for elementary or higher.

Unless you have to fit about five giant text books, this backpack is great. Regular backpacks are oversized anyway. This is not just a backpack for kids.

I was anxious to buy this for my son for preschool this year. He was very excited after receiving it since his latest obsession is Thomas. The small lunchbox is a great addition as well. I went ahead and wrote his name in the lunch box as well as the backpack only to have the zipper fail on the backpack less than a week later. I attempted to fix it and it would only come apart a day or two later. Great looking bag, cheap zipper. Had bought a similar 'Cars' theme one a month or two before and had the exact same problem. Will not be buying these theme backpacks again.

I am so tired of the same local stores. Walmart and other Supercenter stores has put many of my favorite shops out of business. But, their toy area is limited especially when I am looking for something specific. So here I am again searching Amazing Amazon! I found my Grandsons favorite theme for a variety of items. Found exactly what I think he will enjoy and a few other items to include in this bag. Delivered on-time and looks like it can withstand my rugged, heavy duty 3 year old.

We got this backpack for my 2 year old for traveling. The zipper on the front frequently gets stuck but other than that we like the backpack. It's not the most durable thing we ever purchased but he is probably going to done with Gabba before the backpack breaks so I would say it was a good purchase. :)

My daughter is two and a half and LOVES Yo Gabba Gabba. She watches it a lot so when I saw this backpack I knew she'd love it. She drags it around the house stuffing her toys in it and it was great for putting her daily toys in it when she goes to visit Nana. In hindsight I wished I had bought the non rolling backpack because she doesn't want to wear it on her back and would rather drag it around but since she isn't going to school yet that's not a deal breaker.

I totally recommend this product.

Clik Elite CE407GR Adrenalin Harness (Gray)

Clik Elite CE407GR Adrenalin HarnessI purchased this bag looking for a small bag for hiking. I have an existing Tamrac bag that I was using, but was far too bulky for most short hikes. This bag is perfect for just that.

The bag itself has two main pockets, each divided into smaller segments. The largest pocket has a divider inside making two compartemts. One compartment will just hold a 100oz hydration bladder, and the other I have packed with a large point and shoot and foot long hogie. Unfortuately the smaller pocket is very small, just enough room for a handful of granola bars, extra batteries, memory cards, film (for those of us who still use it), etc.

Clik Elite makes camera gear, so the main question is what size camera can fit. First off I would never put a DSLR in there! Nowhere near enough space or protection. Maybe just a DSLR body in a rainy emergeny, but only then. However, the bag does have ample room for a point and shoot, advanced point and shoot, or 4/3 camera and a spare lens.

The build of the bag is excellent, not quite as good as I would want for the price though. One of the selling points of the bag is that it can attach to Clik Elite DSLR holsters, which they refer to as chest packs. I don't have any so I can comment on how well they work together. I can, however, say that the shoulder straps have nice attachement points to which I have put carabiner to attach camera straps to prevent spills.

Overall, I am very happy with the purchase.

BUILT 6-Inch e-Reader or Tablet Neoprene Sleeve, Scatter Dot

BUILT 6-Inch e-Reader or Tablet Neoprene Sleeve, Scatter DotI purchased the 6" BUILT Scatter Dot neoprene sleeve with the zipper top for my new Kindle. I have the basic Kindle that sells for $79. The quality of the sleeve is great; plenty of padding to protect my Kindle in the event of basic drops or falls. The inside is lined with a nice material that will keep the screen from being scratched. The zipper doesn't come anywhere near the screen of the Kindle so I don't have to worry about it getting scratched when I unzip or zip closed the sleeve. Also, the sleeve is very slim and doesn't add any unnecessary bulk. I would definitely recommend this product.

I purchased this because with the previous cover I had, my kindle would turn on by itself when I carried it in my purse (various items in my purse would hit the button). So I wanted something to protect it all around. This cover works great. Although I can't access my kindle as easily as I could with the previous open/close cover, it offers great all around protection. I also love the design. I'm very happy with this purchase.

I don't usually go out of my way to write reviews but this is a great cover. I'm so glad I decided to purchase it. I wanted a cover that fit around the entire Kindle and protected it from loose items in my bag when it's tossed around in there so the screen didn't scratch. I also didn't want something that stayed on the Kindle when I was reading because I don't like how thick it makes the Kindle feel. This cover was perfect. It's made of thick neoprene material which really holds up to the abuse I throw at it. The inside is lined with a super soft fuzzy material to protect the Kindle even more best part is it doesn't shed. At first I thought I'd see all sorts of little fuzzy fibers on my Kindle screen with this interior but there's nothing on it! I got the floral design which hides a multitude of dirt/stains. After a few trips to the beach I could tell the sun block on my hands had gotten on the cover. Quick wash in cool water, air dry & it's like new!

LEGO 16 inch Ninjago Backpack - Black

LEGO 16 inch Ninjago Backpack - BlackI was looking for a ninjago backpack for my son. I found this same backpack at Toys'R'Us for $17.99. All the reviews said the backpack was very cheaply made and fell apart quickly. I didn't find any good reviews on it. I would recommend trying to find this in a store for $17 and see if it's even worth that much. I would definitely not spend $99 on it!

Paid $90+ for this product and obviously expected a backpack close to that value. The backpack retails for $15 at any store in the area, total ripoff!

Buy this bag very excited because it was my son's favorite, hoping that the quality was equal to the price, but it was below the price. The shipping was on time but did not last a week in perfect condition, the first week it broke apart and had to fix it with needle and thread, two weeks after it broke the two shoulder straps, and at 3 weeks it is broken in many parts, the zipper and two side slits are broken too and the worst is that is more expensive for me to buy another bag than to returned it. As it is not in its original condition, as per your return policies, you won't accept it back, but I think you should be responsible and respond for the damage.

I don't know how this could be worth $99 at one point then slashed the price down like it some type of a discount! I just came from ToysRus and purchased this at 17.99. They had a bunch of these in stock. Save your money and go down to the store and if they're out of stock they can tell you which stores have it in their own inventory!!

This backpack is very flimsy and has already ripped in a couple of spots. I am very disappointed that I spent this much money on an item of poor quality. It is only October and I know I will need to buy another backpack for my son before the end of the school year. The last backpack my son had he used for 3 school years because he loved it and it was durable. It too was a lego backpack and I assumed this would be of the same quality. Again...I am very disappointed.
