Le Donne Leather Distressed Leather Computer Backpack

I gave this item as a graduation gift. I have received very good feedback from the recipient. I would recommend it to anyone.

I absolutely love this bag. It looks even better than in the picture. Sure $115 is a bit pricey for a backpack, but the genuine distressed leather and durable spacious craftsmanship is really worth every penny. I can not only fit several textbooks, notebooks, binder, and laptop, but the large side pockets even let me keep snacks for on the go munching between classes. I do have to say that it is a little wider than most backpacks, but not wide enough to look odd or overwhelming. I recommend this bag to anyone looking for a great leather backpack that will last them a while.

Gave this to my daughter for use at college. Well crafted leather bag that is a good size. Big enough for an average size laptop computer and enough room and additional pockets for folders, a few books and other stuff. The leather appears to be high quality and I think it's going to be one of those bags that looks even better with use as the leather gets more character. My one remark is that the shoulder straps are not padded, but the back of the pack is. Regardless, she's very happy with it....

The measurements advertised are to tight. In reality it is not distresses leather, it is a kind of nubuck; the problem is that it cames without any protective coat and get stains with everithing including rain

TAC Force WebTac Utility Backpack

The TAC Force Web Tac Utility Backpack differed enough from the product description/features & photos enough to have me lower the score.

I needed a tactical/combat level backpack, unfortunately the differences make it not suitable for this task.

Overall it appears to be a good product it just depends on individual needs.

Also this is not the best price for this item or similar items (Which usually includes the hydration bladder). I just needed it quickly & Amazon is reliable for that so I paid a little more for this type of product.

OK lets start with the how it differs from the photo/description & more specific info on some mentioned. Which is not all bad.

.. Removable/hidden padded Internal Frame in a hidden pocket in the Main Compartment behind the laptop pocket.

.. Has an internal padded laptop pocket 9.5x11x1.5 in main compartment.

.. Overall outer dimensions (Including exterior pouches.) 14Wx19Hx7.5D

.. Has 4 covered hydration tube / earbud / wire vents.

.. Has a large external flat hidden pocket between back panel and pack.

.. Main Compartment 10x19x5

.. The mesh pocket 9x5x1 is in main compartment has a single zipper.

.. Top Exterior Compartment 10x7x2.5

.. Inside the Top Exterior Compartment t has 4 elastic loops large enough for pistol mags.

.. Bottom Exterior Compartment 10x11x2.5

.. Inside the Bottom Exterior Compartment has a full velcro loop panel backing.

.. Inside the Bottom Exterior Compartment removable velcro stationary organizer with padded cell phone pocket & an additional padded pocket.

.. Inside the Bottom Exterior Compartment has integral key latch/loop.

.. Two Side Exterior Compartments 8x5x2

.. Two Side Exterior Open Pockets 8x5x0.1 between Side Exterior Compartments & Main Compartment.

.. All compartments/pockets have grommet drainage holes except the sides.

.. MOLLE/PAL on bottom of pack too.

.. All straps have cinches.

.. No Removable Padded Waist Belt but instead a 1 inch wide Attached Flat Waist Belt (Like a car seat belt.) but has stow away spot still.

.. No buckle/straps above side pouches.

.. No upper shoulder strap adjustment.

.. No metal pulls on zipper but just para cord.

.. Shoulder & waist belt no longer reinforced.

So these are the reasons I do not like the pack.

NSingle Stitching in some critical spots.

NNo Removable Padded Waist Belt but instead a 1 inch wide Attached Flat Waist Belt (Like a car seat belt.)

NNo buckle/straps above side pouches.

NShoulder & waist belt no longer reinforced.

NTwo Side Exterior Open Pockets 8x5x0.1 between Side Exterior Compartments & Main Compartment instead of open bottoms to carry long handle tools (That is what the buckle/straps above the side pouches where for.) like a shovel, ax, etc.

It appears the original design was for tactical/combat purpose but now it became more a hybrid suitable for a Good Day, School, Hiking Pack w/ Removable Internal Frame but not Combat.

This is a great pack, large enough to stow enough gear for a short camping trip, this is what I plan on using my pack for, the only down fall I see for this pack is the smaller sized zippers on the smaller pockets, the compact version of this pack has large zippers all the way around.

JANSPORT SUPERBREAK BACKPACK SCHOOL BAG - Navy Blue (JoyAve)

• Straight-cut, padded shoulder straps
• One large main compartment
• Front utility pocket with organizer keeps essentials handy
• 2/3 padded back panel for cushioning comfort
• Web haul loop

Notice:

[ ] Is not bad item, but ...

[ ] This item has problems with the cover of zippers, because the sliding tabs are braked for the zipper covers, it's necesary to fold the zipper covers before close the zippers.

[ ] The rest of things are very good. Was a surprise to me, this item has a cushion part to the back in black color, but it's okay to me.

i can put anything in the pack, and the color black goes with anything and anything that is attached to it will stand out

I have had the backpack about a year now and it has held up somehow. It's a good bag but you can just tell teh quality isn't really there. It is also a bit uncomfortable on the shoulders but not that bad.

Very sturdy. Plenty of pocket space. The position of the front zipper makes this pocket a bit inconvenient to open.

This bag functions in the school setting, but is extremely annoying to use. Every time you try to zip and unzip the middle compartment, the zipper catches on the extra flap of material that is built into the bag. You have to unjam it every time. If I could return this bag, I would, but I'm already using it, and will just deal with it until it falls apart. Poor design from a company that is supposed to have cutting-edge designs!

I ordered this backpack for my Army brat to use for preschool. He loves it! It's sized well for a smaller child and well constructed.

Toshiba PA1500U-1BS8 18-Inch Extreme Backpack

Husband got this for a christmas present to carry his Toshiba 18.4 laptop. He is very happy and uses it all the time now. The laptop fits perfectly. Rececommend looking at this product on the Toshiba website and you will be able see additional photos to show how the laptop fits as well as additional storage areas.

I was mistaken about my Asus G73JW 17" laptop fitting in this backbag. It does not fit where it is supposed to be even though the bag is clamed to be an 18" bag. Other than that, this is a better than good bag, comfortable shoulder strips, convenient design and good quality material it is made of.

The nice thing to say about this backpack is that it has plenty of pockets and my 17" laptop fits nicely inside. There are a couple of things wrong about it. The Velcro strap which is intended to secure my laptop is too short. This means that my laptop can go up and down unrestrained. They could have made it long enough, a couple of inches would work, to handle laptops of several sizes. The other problem has to do with rips. The main strap on my left side is becoming detached from the backpack. Given the work-day use from June to October, about 5 months, I think in another 5 months it will detach completely. This is the same problem I had with my previous backpack. There are two more 3cm rips on the top, on either side of the handle. Eventually the handle will separate too. All I have to say about my new backup is Goruck. Hopefully this will be the last backpack I'll have to buy.

Dora the Explorer Map & Plush Backpack PURPLE

We were worried after reading the negative reviews of dangerous chemicals... but this back pack is wonderful. I cannot find this warning others speak of inside her bag. There is no odor with the bag. It is lined with a thin nylon type material that should be great for cleaning up messes. It is big enough for my daughter to fit her light-weight blankie, small stuffed animal, snacks and a few small toys in. She also keeps unfolding the map, pretends to study it and puts it away again. So cute! We are very pleased.

I bought this for my 21 month old granddaughter, who loves to watch Dora the Explorer. She loves "backpack and map" and shows it to the tv screen when Dora is on. Very cute toy, well made also. Worth every penny =)

Samsonite Luggage Utility 22 Inch Duffel Backpack

I've used it once so far on a trip where I had non direct flights both ways so I was running from gate to gate. It's easy to both wheel around or attach to my back as a backpack as I did on one occasion. There is plenty of room in the main compartment. The flat front pocket is great for stashing my itinerary or a slim book or magazine. The pocket in front by the wheels is terrific for storing items you need to pull out quickly going through security.

It's looks really tough and it's a good looking bag. The pockets are quite large. It rolls well.

The only thing I didn't like is that the bottom, from the inside, is not flat. Meaning your clothes sit on the rails for the pulling handle so things tend to get wrinkled. I suppose you could put a piece of cardboard at the bottom and it would work.

MOBILE EDGE MESFBP2.0 17.3 SCANFAST(TM) BACKPACK

Got this backpack from work as a new hire to stuff a big laptop. It looks very solid.

Have been using Maxxum Swiss Gear by Wenger Notebook Backpack so far.

Pros:

Looks high quality

Light weight compared to the similar backpacks of the quality and size

Cons:

Looks are not stylish/pretty. It can be better.

Too big.

I don't carry a backpack all the time, but if I'm headed to a location where a lot of walking will be necessary I've found that a good backpack is the best option, and this one fits the need well. It has solid construction, the straps are VERY comfortable and function just fine when using either one or both straps. Also, the airport security "ScanFast" capability is ALWAYS fantastic.

The only con is that there really isn't a "mid-size" pocket. There are huge, deep pockets, and a couple small pockets on the front, but with the exception of the one pocket designed to hold pens, bus cards, and other small accessories all other pockets are the entire size of the bag (very big and deep). They are all high quality with what have proven to be smooth and durable zippers, but I'm just not sure what to put in them.

The "giant pocket issue" cost the bag one star from me, but overall I have been VERY pleased and would highly recommend this backpack to anyone carrying a large 17" laptop.

Maxpedition Vulture-II Backpack

I'm an officer in a mountain town that bought one of these bad boys to double as my EDC and Bug-Out-Bag. First off, this bad is bomb-proof. Gotten snowed on, rained on, placed on wet ground (rubberized bottom is awsome and something I did not see on a lot of other bags of this nature), picked up, put down and thrown around daily. Each side rocks a Max rollypoly (with 32 nalgenes) and cocoon pouch and I also got other supplimentary pouches to pimp it out. The molle system is very handy especially when used with Max strap system. Oh, and the rubberized bottom and top of bag has molle webbing for easy tent and sleeping bag attachment. Tons of space, the picture makes the bag look smaller. Super comfortable straps too. The outter compartment also seems to be the only one on similar bags that can fit a standard metal work folder this is priceless for easy carry along with my gear. Only drawbacks I can see is that they are made overseas although the U.S. design is damn near flawless. I did not have hundreds of dollars to spend on something like Elberstock and now I'm so glad I did not. Hope the review helps.

I was an infantry Marine for 4 years. Ive had a few packs over the years and there are differing opinions of what is "milspec" and what isnt. Even though some of the stuff we were issued was junk, i would call this pack "almost milspec". Its definitely a superstar among the typical Swiss Gear, The North Face, or Targus packs that a lot of civilians are wearing. When i say "almost", it's because in terms of "milspec", i like to see metal D rings instead of plastic ones. Ive also worn out a lot of mesh that covers padding on some packs. This pack has a solid nylon back, but still has the mesh on the straps. It does carry well, even over long distances. The straps have a nice contour to them, even though they are on the thin side. I can fit my 15" laptop in the hydration compartment, which is a big plus. The waist belt is ample enough to serve its purpose, and can be stowed away in the hydration compartment when its not needed...but then you cant put a computer in there. If you are carrying a computer, you probably arent in need a waist belt like when you go camping or on patrol. I would just sinch it up, buckle it, and leave it out.

I have actually just replaced this pack with a Spec-Ops THE pack for camping, and hiking purposes. The Spec-Ops pack is what i would consider true "milspec", for what thats worth, and its a difference that you pretty much have to see and feel to understand. I also have a review of that pack here on Amazon. Nevertheless...I am a fan of Maxpedition stuff, and i own and continue to buy their gear for every day carry situations. This is a great pack, but if you dont mind spending an extra $50 or so, there are better options for more mission specific packs...Try Eagle Industries, Spec Ops, or go crazy and check out Kifaru.

Buy Maxpedition Vulture-II Backpack Now

I have been shipping around for a Bug out Bag to carry my supplies for emergency situations and I needed to find a bag that was both affordable but spacious and resilient. I shopped around for a long while and I happened upon the Vulture II bag. I did my homework and from what I gathered it was a a very tough, spacious, and comfortable bag. It was, however, a little on the expensive end ($132 when I purchased it) so I was rather resistant to shelling out that much for a bag but over the course of a couple weeks it became clear that this is exactly the bag that I want.

The bag has met and exceeded all my expectations. From pulling it out of its plastic covering you can tell immediately that this was one rugged bag, it felt indestructible. Opening it up it revealed PLENTY of space for whatever you could want. There is a pocket for a water bladder if that is what one wants but as another reviewer stated it fits a laptop perfectly if you are thinking of using the bag more domestically. The zippers are a bit stiff on the bag requiring a little work to close and open them but that is of no surprise considering how tough the bag is and that new bags naturally need to be broken in a little. The shoulder straps, with CORRECT fitting, are extremely comfortable and there are both chest and abdomen straps that really help offload some of the pull on the shoulders.

All in all, I would highly recommend this bag to whomever wishes for a reliable bug out bag, outdoors bag, etc. The bag is worth every penny and I suggest to anyone that, in this case, spending those extra couple of dollars will provide you with something that will outlast many other.

I have had the Vulture 3-Day Assault Pack for a few years and I love this pack. It is strong, solid and has plenty of room for your gear. The YKK #10 zippers are strong, dependable and can handle the abuse from a stuffed pack. The 1000-Denier water and abrasion resistant light-weight ballistic nylon fabric is very durable and there are enough MOLLE attachments to add gear. The backpack has a waist belt and chest belt for a comfortable load.

The Vulture-II holds 2810 cubic inches of gear which should be plenty for about a 3 day trip. The main compartment is very large and holds a lot of gear. The main compartment has dual zippers so it can be opened up almost all the way so that getting to your gear is no problem. I am able to fit a bivy, sleeping bag, sleeping bag liner, Thermarest small pad, back pack rain cover and other items in the main compartment. This pack also has a front pouch and slip pocket to hold other essential items as well. It has a compartment for a 100 oz. hydration bladder for water. At 3 lbs, 8 oz. it is a bit on the heavy side but there is always a cost/benefit ratio with gear. This is not a ultralight pack but it will handle any abuse you can dish out and it will last for many years. I have used and abused this pack and it still looks brand new.

If you are looking for a pack that has plenty of room, is extremely durable, yet comfortable then this is your pack.

The Vulture 2 is an extremely rugged and versatile backpack. It is made of 1000 denier teflon coated fabric with a rubberized bottom which is water, dirt, and mud resistant. The entire pack is double stitched for added strength. It has about 2800 cubic inches of space and plenty of compartments for accessories. The shoulder straps are load bearing and adjustable for added comfort. It is also water bladder compatable, up to 100oz. Although I've only had this pack for a short amount of time, I've been able to get some good use out of it. I was pretty rough with it just to see how well it would do and I was not disappointed. I've owned many backpacks in my life, very expensive ones that I thought were good quality, but the Maxpedtion Vulture 2 is by far the best I've owned, in every way. This is one of those few products that can literally last you a lifetime.

Everest Travel Waist Fanny Pack Bag BH14NB w/o Sports Water Bottle - Choice of Colors

I bought this item because I wanted to have something smaller than a full size backpack that would hold a drink and a little trail mix for my day hikes. I'm not a small guy, 48" waist; knowing a fanny pack would not fit me, I jumped when I read the description of this item: "7.5" Bottle Pack with Shoulder Strap". It turns out this IS JUST a fanny pack and when the belt is fully extended did not fit over my shoulder, yet alone around my 48" girth.

Did I return the dam thing? Hell no. My son had a belt that was identical to the material of the fanny pack belt. I spent the afternoon sewing in a 15" span so I can use it (and adjust it) as fanny pack on my hikes. The max size waist is around 40" 41" if you wish to use this as a fanny pack.

Timbuk2 Shagg Bag On-Strap Pouch

What I wanted was a pouch that would hold my HTC Android Smartphone on my messenger bag outside, rather than inside (which seemed to interfere with the bluetooth). BINGO! This was perfect and yes, it matches my Timbuk2 messenger bag, of course. The front zipper compartment is the right size for a bus pass and, possibly, a credit card or two, not not much else. The straps on the back make it possible to hang it vertically or horizontally. I am very happy with this item.

I picked one of these up to use as my cell phone case while using my bag, but it's just a little too small. I have a Galaxy S II phone, and it does not fit inside the case. It's a bit disappointing, as it looks like it was designed around an iPhone for sizing, but the world has moved to larger screens on their mobile devices. It doesn't need to be a lot bigger, but a little more room could have made all the difference.

On the other hand, it is built very well and stays in place on the strap. I can find other uses for it, but if you have a phone with a decent sized screen, be careful when ordering.

Incase Men's Coated Canvas Shoulder Bag for Macbook Pro 15-Inch, Taupe

On a quest for the perfect bag for my 2011 Macbook Pro 15" See my other reviews

This a minimalistic case, not for pack rats!

If you carry your power adapter with you, it's going to be a tight fit.

+ iPad 2 : Has compartment for a naked Ipad 2. If you use a case/sleeve, you can fit it in front of the dedicated pocket.

+ Good padding around, except for the very bottom. I would cut a small piece of foam, or neoprene from one of your old cases and put at the very bottom. If I dropped the bag and it landed in the same orientation as you would set it down, I'd be slightly worried. That being said, it is one one of the better cases I've looked at recently.

+ Fits the MBPro 15" very nicely.

Won't fit the Macbook IF it is in a Lacie zipper-less sleeve. you can shove it in there, but will be turning the bag inside out to remove it. I like to use a sleeve plus the bag personally.

-/+ you will get a magazine, or two in here, but not much else in addition to the iPad and the Macbook Pro 15". No text books!

no grab handle.

+ Padded shoulder strap, non-removable.

+ Good style, looks too small to hold a laptop, so it doesn't scream laptop. Glossy appearance. Looks like a fashionable accessory.

Photos -if you look at this on the Incase website (same model), it shows the straps as being detachable, and having a grab handle. The Amazon photos are correct for the Amazon product.

Being a minimalistic bag, it's on my shortlist, as I can fix the padding myself. There are not a lot of minimalistic bags.

I purchased this product in April 2011 and by around October/November 2011 the seams attaching the shoulder strap to the bag had begun to separate from the canvas. There was no undue wear or tear, just a 15" MBP and a couple of notebooks. The strap also lacks stitching down near the buckle to prevent the strap from bunching and forcing the buckle sideways. I would check out some of the other available shoulder bags.

I originally bought this with hopes of proving to myself that shoulder bags are better than backpacks -turns out this isn't the case (which is the only reason I gave this 4 stars). This bag is still a great bag, however. Like some others have said, it does not have a lot of space for anything really except a laptop, tablet, and a few accessories, but the plus side is that it looks extremely stylish.

I still prefer backpacks over shoulder bags any day because they allow for more mobility and are more comfortable.

Want Incase Men's Coated Canvas Shoulder Bag for Macbook Pro 15-Inch, Taupe Discount?

I had the previous model which was sold in Apple stores. I loved that one. It eventually ripped out where the strap attached to the bag, so I bought this one to replace it. Same company, same bag? Nope. Quality is lower. The strap seems thinner, and the coating seems to be less. It is hard to say if it will hold up as well as the first, but it just doesn't feel as well made. On the other hand, I spent 50% more for the previous one in the Apple store, so maybe there are actually two models without a visual distinction.

One physical difference is that this one has a snap for the front flap, instead of Velcro. I prefer the snap, but wouldn't choose that over the difference in quality.

Voltaic Generator Solar Laptop Charger Bag

Just received it today and;

-The solar panel can detach from the case, which is a relief, because I don't intend to use the case itself. Note however that the screw caps are made of plastic and are easily damaged.

-The solar panel by itself is small enough to fit in a back pack, and attached screws lend it to being fixed to other objects.

-The solar panel can also detach from the little LED light on the case (which seems dumb anyway).

-There are a number of included adapters which allow you to link devices from the battery or directly from the panel. The battery is a little heavy, so if your device can charge directly from the panel then it's a good peice of weight to consider leaving behind.

-The battery came fully charged and so far I've used it to charge my IPhone and a professional camera, no problems. It's also a very nice looking battery.

-(NEGATIVE) I haven't found any connector included with this kit that allows the solar panel to directly connect to USB devices. So far it seems, you have to connect USB devices from the battery. I don't understand how the panel can directly support much larger loads than USB but they don't include a way to directly connect USB. As a work around, the panel can directly connect a 12v car cigarette style outlet which is included with the kit and there are USB cigarette adapters which you can buy separately, so it is possible, if maybe a little bulky. I sent Voltaic a question about the issue and will update when they respond.

-(ALSO NEGATIVE) The device doesn't come with much of an owner's manual. There are some basic instructions, which are probably okay for starters, but nothing to really read into or stimulate the mind. I'm a big fan of solar, and I imagine others who spend the kind of buckage on this probably are to, or at least they want to enlighten their minds with the expensive new toy, but sadly all that's included is a little folding paper with very basic instructions written in half a dozen languages.

-(POTENTIALLY NEGATIVE) This will probably never be an issue for users who leave the panel attached to the case as advertised, but on detaching the panel, it becomes apparent that the power line leading from the panel which connects to the battery/ other devices does not look like it's held on to the panel by very much and looks like it could easily snag on something and break, so if you are detaching the panel from the case like me you will need to use caution or get good at soldering..

(POTENTIALLY NEGATIVE FOR ANYONE WHO USES THIS AS INTENDED) The instructions advise to open the case when charging to keep temperatures inside the case to reasonable levels. I'm not a computer smart guy, but I know they don't like heat and opening the case to charge the computer every time would become a bit of a nuisance.

On other notes, Voltaic almost seems to be more proud of their battery than their solar panel. The battery is nice, however I don't think it is absolutely necessary. One of the reasons I bought a large panel is so I can charge smaller devices under more conditions. But I was also able to slightly charge a smaller Anker (10,000mAh) battery using one of the included adapters directly from the panel before the sun totally disappeared, so you can charge batteries from other companies, or at least it's probably worth a try if you already own a battery and want to save $100+. I'll have to play with it more tomorrow and update again, but probably don't feel obligated to buy the whole kit or the battery if you don't want to. Voltaic also offers the panel, batteries, adapters al-a-cart on it's website, for considerably cheaper assuming you don't need the whole kit.
