Domke 702-02S F-2 Backpack (Sand)

I have a number of camera bags, including a Domke F-2 bag, on which this one is based. You can - and I have -put a ton of stuff in this bag. The bottom space is laid out exactly like the classic Domke F-2 bag. The additional space above the bottom section is open space that can be used for a camera with lens mounted, a jacket, sandwich, or other items. It's comfortable and stable to carry when loaded and heavy, and like the other two Domke bags I have, is built to stand up to the toughest use and abuse in extreme conditions. I love the canvas construction. It reminds me of the legendary Duluth packs I use for canoe trips and is built with similar quality materials and workmanship. It doesn't have a rain cover and is technically not waterproof, but I used the pack on a week-long photo tour recently where it rained every day but one and my gear never got wet at all.

The only thing I wish the bag had is an arrangement for carrying a tripod, and therefore it gets four stars. But if you really had to, you could work with some additional straps to secure a tripod using the handle on top, thereby keeping your hands free. If you need a rugged, flexible pack that holds a lot of stuff, this might be your bag.

This is a full-sized bag that you can carry on your back. Can't get any better than that! I love the looks of the bag, it's a good color and seems to be very well made. I looked a long time for a bag large enough for everything that I want to carry and this bag has room for everything that I need to take with me. It is missing some of the bells and whistles that you can find on a lot of bags nowadays, but since it's made from a sturdy canvas, improvements like tripod straps can be added with needle and thread.

15 15.6 inch White Butterfly Design Laptop Sleeve Bag Carrying Case with Hidden Handle & Adjustable

Good product and company was very nice to deal with. There was confusion on where the lap top sleeve was to be mailed and they gladly gave me a credit to remail the sleeve to the correct address. Love a company with good customer service as well as a great product!

It looks very nice and I've gotten a lot of compliments on it. It was a bit fiddly getting it on just right but that may just be me. It has been holding up very well so far.

If you want this sleeve to add padding in a bag or keep your laptop clean, this is a great item. It's also great if you want something smart looking. I get lots of compliments on this but it is rather on the soft side and not a dense foam. One feature I liked before I purchased this was the handles. But, since they tuck inside the sleeve if you actually want to use them, the bag has to be unzipped on the top. That makes the top gap so I just never use them. Overall, I am satisfied although I would have liked this to be a denser material.

Travelers Choice New Luxembourg 4 Piece Hard-Shell Luggage Collection

This 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.

Piel Leather Large Classic Waist Bag

I love it. It's very sophisticated for a fanny pack, which is what I was wanting. It isn't too fat, but it really is large. You won't need a regular purse with this. Leather and pulls are high quality. Just one little problem: The adjustment strap just hangs loose, and it's not easy to keep it tucked in. I might sew it down. It's a leather strap which is nice.

Piel Large Classic Waist Bag

Originally, I started using waist bags for hiking and camping. Now they are a must due to neck and shoulder problems. This Piel all leather waist bag (including the belt) is the best. It fits all my necessities and the various colors match my shoes, too.

The only drawback is the adjustable leather belt. I have a small waist and do not like the excess strap "waving in the breeze". I re-thread the strap through the buckle and use my heavy duty sewing machine to stich it so that it is still adjustable, but doesn't have a loose end.

Fanny packs lets face it they are not a fashion statement most people want to make!

That said I have received compliments on my fanny pack from Piel! My neighbor liked it so much I ordered one for her I have a smaller one and that was what she wanted as well.

This one hold a full sized wallet (bigger than a check book) plus a checkbook plus my iPhone and a pack of cigarets and a lighter and a little kit I like to have with me sometimes with gum a small camera and tape measure a swiss army knife and a tent (ok not the tent). But really everything else.

I do not normally carry all that but I can!

Targus C4 Backpack for Laptops up to 16-Inch TSB70905US(Green/Black)

I have been using Targus computer backpacks for years and am a big fan -Targus products in my experience show high quality in both design and build. This backpack is considerably smaller and lighter-duty than my favorite bag so far, the Targus CVR600 15.4" Groove Notebook Backpack.

The design is good and practical -basically an updated but stripped-down version of the CVR600. For example, instead of side pockets that zipper closed, there are net pockets only that are basically good for water bottles and the like. The material is lighter and the padding on the shoulder straps skimpier.

And that brings me to the issue that caused me to go back to the CVR600 after using this backpack for a month and a half. I was getting some very bad shoulder pain -or more precisely, with this bag my shoulder was not recovering from strain I put it under doing something else. In fact, the pain was just getting worse. After switching back to the CVR600, the pain has begun subsiding dramatically.

I am 6'3" and over 250 lbs, so unless you are a similar size I wouldn't worry much. The geometry of how this hangs on my back will probably be very different than yours. But if you are a big guy, this bag *could* mean some physical discomfort as it has in my case.

Recommended if you are smaller than me and like the idea of a nice, lightweight but protective laptop backpack. It's a winning product, just not for me.

I have a variety of sizes of laptops from the larger Thinkpad to the smaller HP Elitebook. This backpack fits both of these beautifullytogether or separately. I can also put my Kindle in its case in another pocket, my cell phone, glasses case, and a few books too.

There are places for pencils and even bottled water a smaller bottle. I love the front pocket which makes it easy to access things I need to access quickly on days when I can not carry them in my pockets or coats. The straps are comfortable and don't hurt my shoulders like some of them do.

If you are carrying a huge load of books and supplies to class or other places, this might not be a bag for you. It is primarily for a smaller loads of books and supplies as well as the laptop, ipad or other tablets. This is not for the long day of carrying all of your books with you everywhere, like I have done in the past.

I have brought this with me on quite a few trips and found it really handy, but I only had a few books with me. I have also used it for other things like shopping trips at fiber festivals, and craft fairs too. It was helpful as I needed to have my laptop for later in the day so I could carry it with me, protected and separated from my other stuff.

This is not waterproof, but resistant, so if you have to walk a long way, you might want to put your electronic components and books in plastic bags inside the backpack, just to be extra careful.

All in all, I love this backpack because it is not over-sized and is perfect for those times when I want to carry my laptop and smaller other things, and don't need a large backpack for larger loads. It is handy and well divided for convenience. For larger all day loadsI suggest a larger backpack.

Buy Targus C4 Backpack for Laptops up to 16-Inch TSB70905US(Green/Black) Now

I received this backpack through the Amazon Vine program, and just in time for a cross-Atlantic trip. I don't have an iPad or other tablet, but I do have a laptop that can become a pain to carry, especially once you include the separate mouse, keyboard, and various wires.

The backpack has a nice pocket in the main compartment for a laptop, and you can fit some more books or notebooks in the compartment too. The front pocket is where you would store the tablets or wires, and I found it quite useful too. And there is a smaller bottom pocket I haven't used yet.

To be honest, I don't see a lot of functionality that is specific to laptop carrying. There isn't, for example, a dedicated mouse holder or wire hook or whatever. It's a backpack with pockets. But as a backpack, it's quite nice. It's sturdy, comfortable, and generally thin in design, so particularly good for stowing under airplane seats. I expect I will use it quite a bit, for both long-distance travel and everyday use.

The Targus products in general are good quality and practical, and this is no exception. This is one that I reach for when I only need to take a laptop or a tablet and a few cords and maybe a spare battery and external drive and other small items with me. It works well with a variety of different devices, that's probably it's biggest strength. This is a very versatile backpack. Don't rely on it to protect from heavy weather or heavy impacts though, this is a lightweight, versatile carry bag for electronics.

Want Targus C4 Backpack for Laptops up to 16-Inch TSB70905US(Green/Black) Discount?

This backpack by Targus is an excellent bag for carrying one's personal electronics. Instead of a laptop I had a 10" Android tablet with about the same thickness and weight as a netbook, so I had space a-plenty in the designated laptop sleeve. The extra sleeve in front of the laptop sleeve was perfect for my bluetooth keyboard and a few miscellaneous connectors, and the extra space in that compartment (the farthest back one) was more than enough for a notebook and two books. The middle compartment was useful for storing my anti-glare glasses and a few other extremedies, and I could put away my charging cable in the front compartment with, again, plenty of room to spare. The straps are comfortable and easily adjustable. Not a single complaint about this backpack: I've had others that had too many spaces, or straps that dug into my shoulders. Good job Targus!

I bought this because I wanted a pretty case for my 13 inch mac book. When I received this, the zipper hook fell off instantly. It also got stuck before it fell off. It did, however, fit perfectly. It's very nice but not for me. It's also not neoprene. I returned it.

THis is a great fit for my 13 inch macbook. It would also fit a 15 inch one, as there is room, its not a snug fit, but I like it that way. I was worried that the decor was bumpy, but its flat. This stands out with everyone else's plain black ones. I can find it easily cuz of the color. Appealing, inexpensive, love it.

The Sharper Image Backpack Speaker System (Black)

This is a great backpack. I needed to get a backpack since I am going back to school. First thing is that the speaker is detachable. It also has pop out stands so you can stand it up. Its a great speaker for camping or going to the beach. The speaker is really good quality for something that only takes 3 AA batteries! There are several ways to hook it up.

First, you can put your MP3 player in the back of the speaker. You can do this while the speaker is attached or detached. It has its own headphone jack in the back and can be used entirely separately. That is the best feature about it.

Second, you can put your mp3 player directly in the front of the backpack in a clear pouch pocket on the strap. There is an extension with another headphone jack in the front. You can plug in either the headphone jack from the back into it, or a pair of headphones.

Pros:

-Great sounding portable speaker system

-lots of room in the backpack

-many storage compartments

-durable

-relatively light weight for a backpack with a built in speaker

-convenient places to put mp3 player.

-Detachable speaker is great

-a pretty good backpack for school, camping, or whatever you use a pack for.

Cons:

-No sternum strap. With so many backpacks having these today it is missed in this backpack simply because the sternum strap's purpose is to distribute the weight evenly. It is a missed necessity, but because of the big padding, it is tolerable without it.

-No place for a pair of headphones to stick out of the top. You have to make them come out of the zipper. It is more of a nitpicky thing, but would have been a nice addition.

-No volume control on the speaker itself. Probably save power this way, but if I could balance the speaker volume with the MP3 volume I can probably even better quality. The quality is still good though, I just like to be able to turn it up louder without the distortion and not having a volume control on the speaker itself does not enable me to do that.

All in all this is a good backpack. It has a very padded snug fit to it. There is a laptop pouch in it as well as many pouches and pencil holders. The speaker can be used with anything that takes a standard headphone jack so it works for portable DVD players, laptops, etc.... I have also tried out the speaker with all kinds of music from heavy metal, to hip hop, to smooth jazz, to country, and it really sounds good with all of them. Has a good bass for a 3 AA battery speaker! If your looking for a backpack and a portable speaker all at the same time, this saves you time and effort. Good buy and I would highly recommend it.

If you are looking for a backpack, this is an excellent choice. It serves its purpose, and has the added bonus of having a detachable speaker.

I was looking for a backpack and saw this exact backpack speaker at the Base Exchange for $59.99. I would have bought it there but they did not have one in black. I found a black one on Amazon for $38.99 and ordered it immediately. I received it in just 4 days.

This is a well made, quality backpack with many pockets. It has plenty of room for books, iPod or Smart Phone, computer, etc. The speaker requires 3 AA batteries and sounds great considering the size.

My wife saw the backpack, heard the sound, and wanted one as well. I ordered one for her today.

I replaced my old shoulder backpack with this beauty from Sharper Image. I have long been a Sharper Image customer the name is synominous with quality. I am totally happy with this piece of art. The many Xtra pockets for pens, glasses, my Ipod and of course my camera & DroidX have proven to very useful in many ways. I also carry an assortment of headphones, connectors and chargers. I added a remote for my Ipod so I can turn the volume up & down and also to sort through my 160GB of tunes. The sound is top notch. I can also remove the speaker from the backpack and enjoy my music at a picnic or at home. It faithfully reproduces the full spectrum of sound without a hint of distortion. I can listen to my music without blaring it out and annoying those sitting close to me. This handy backpack is a must have for music lovers of all ages. "I like it allot" and would recommend it to all of my friends. It's a winner !!

I use this as a travel backpack and occasionally as a purse. I don't think its fair to complain about the size of this backpack when the measurements are available. Do your research and check the measurements before purchasing. The bag is ideal for commuters, travelers, or someone looking to switch up from carrying a purse. Pack light and the bag should last a while.

Dc Comics Men's The Flash Logo Back Sack

I got this lovely Flash Back Sack last year when I saw it at a store in a local Mall.

It is made of water resistant nylon (which is really great for people who constantly go to the Beach, like I do).

It is very strong and durable as well (I've carried many things, both heavy and light in this sack before).

The strings on the back sack are thick, making the back sack easier for the wearer.

Some back sacks are made with thinner strings, causing the strings to constantly slip off of the wearers shoulders.

The only problem I have with the back sack is that the logo is easily scratched.

Petunia Pickle Bottom Boxy Evening in Innsbruck : Converts From a Shoulder Style Into a Backpack wi

I love this bag. I live in Juneau, AK and I wanted a cute bag that would stand up against all the rain! I love that the bag is coated. If it wasn't, it would be ruined very quickly in this climate! I like that the diapers and wipes are kept handy in the front. The PPB wipes case is a bonus! I haven't used it as a backpack yet, but I'm very pleased to have that option. I've gotten a lot of compliments on this bag. Highly recommend it.

I fell in love with this bag a week after I received it ... Of course that's when I finally packed it for the arrival of my baby the bag is very durable and looks like it could handle anything even over packing I like the fact that I still had lots of room left for more stuff ... I plan on cloth diapering after I'm out of all the disposable ones I got for my baby shower so I know I should have plenty of room for my extras that come along with cloth diapering. How ever there are a few things I wish we're adressed ... The top of the bag needs to open wider so when you are puting and taking things out it is easier also the inside of the bag is black so it is very dark inside a lighter color would work better. Last I wish the stroller straps were included with the perchase because that is just one more thing u have to remember to pack and with a baby it can be easy to forget. I know some of the other bags come with the straps. I do plan on purchasing another ppb for longer trips I also have a five year old daughter and she will be needing space to. But over all I really love love this bag I'm so happy with the purchase

I had another bag similarly sized to hold a notepad, tablet, phone, wallet, etc... and it ended up falling apart. This was a replacement for that and I love it. The small strap on the top seemed odd initially but turns out to be super useful and the shoulder strap is long, solid and works great. The size is perfect for a moleskin notebook & 7" tablet.

I'm really happy w/ this bag. Highly recommended.

Tamrac 3380 Aero 80 Photo/Laptop Backpack (Rust)

I bought this backpack for a recent photographic assignment to India where I had to carry my laptop with me at all times. Overall, I am very impressed with it and several people I was traveling with were also impressed enough that they were planning to buy the same backpack when they got back to the States.

The main reason I chose this product was that it would be able to accommodate my DSLR with standard zoom lens, two spare lenses (including one 300mm telephoto) a small video camera (with five tapes), spare batteries and filters, power cables etc., and my laptop as well as providing some space for other items such as sweaters, papers etc.

It certainly has the capacity I needed and the lower section of the backpack that accommodates all the camera gear is easy to access, easy to organise and generally very well designed. The only complaint I have is that the upper section of the rucksack is quite difficult to access not so bad that it's unusable, but I did end up simply stuffing things in there because the design of the opening is such that the flap doesn't really fold down. I managed to fit in a down vest, a flashlight, a couple of energy bars, some papers and my sunglasses but I had to pretty much empty the whole compartment to find anything I wanted. The laptop sleeve, on the other hand, provides plenty of space and you can store papers, magazines etc in there along with the laptop (as long as you can stand the extra weight!) The two side pockets are perfect for water/soda bottles, too, which is good because you wouldn't be able to get at them in the main compartment!

I didn't use it in the rain, so I have no idea whether its weatherproofing works. It certainly looks like it should, but the rubber strips on the laptop sleeve zip do make opening and closing that compartment a little fiddly. None of these issues would prevent me recommending this backpack though, as it really does do everything I wanted it to do. I didn't hike with it for any distance but it certainly performed well being thrown in and out of trucks and buses and seemed to provide excellent protection for my gear in some pretty uncomfortable environments.

One other note if you're a bit of a contortionist, you can access your camera without removing the backpack. It's probably not advisable unless you're sure the rest of your gear won't come tumbling out when you open the flap but it does add a little extra functionality that you might need.

I like this overall. I'm a pro photographer and needed something that fits easily in overhead bins in planes. there's enough room for 2 bodies, laptop, 2 hyperdrives, 5 lenses (med size), all my chargers, lots of batteries, a flash head, and some misc stuff. you have to get creative but you can get quite a bit in there. it's probably not meant for what I use it for (primary bag) but it works well

Buy Tamrac 3380 Aero 80 Photo/Laptop Backpack (Rust) Now

I bought this simply for the fact that I can carry my laptop along with my camera equipment. First off, it must be said that you can carry one camera body with a mounted lens and battery grip, two more lenses and a flash unit. You might be able to squeeze one more body, depending on the size though. Other photographers may find this limiting. But the other accessories like your cd's, power supplies, batteries and other lenses and such will fit in the other main compartment. I do wish however that one of the inside pockets did not have a stitched divider. I would have prefered a larger section to place larger items, but those items fit in the other areas. The laptop section is nice and you can squeeze the electrical power cord in the same area. The main reason I bought this is that when I travel, I no longer have to carry a seperate laptop case and camera equipment case on a plane. When I had these two items, I had to sacrifice a personal item in which I would carry snacks and other items. By combining a laptop case and camera case into one, I know can have a persnal carry on item on the plane again. The only drawback some photographers may face is that there is no tripod slot. But other than that, I'm happy with this back pack and would definitely recommend it to my fellow photographers.

On a recent trip to New York I figured I would order a new camera bag and get rid of my old Samsonite shoulder bag, which has been through all the rigors associated with Photojournalism in the Caribbean. I have switched my occupation to a far less intense photography experience and just wanted something small (ish), lightweight and capable for carrying around my camera (s), lenses, flash guns and macbook, with charger and accessories.

Ok first the bad.

The bag is a heck of a lot smaller than I expected and cannot hold my EOS 30D with 70-200 F4/L lens attached. This is not a huge deal since I normally mount an old 28-70 F/2.8L, but still, sometimes it would be nice to just whip out my camera with the longer lens attached.

Now the good.

The bag is good looking. It is sturdy as ever, and I manage to fit two flash guns, three lenses (albeit the 70-200 does not go in the camera section with the rest of the kit and gets bunged in the main bag with the flash guns) Two camera bodies (30D and 20D), a Macbook 13" laptop, charger, mouse, headphones, cables, and granola bars and the shoulder straps, and top handle don't ever feel like they are going to give way under the weight.

Additionally this is a great bag for travelling and fits very easily in front of you under the seat or in an overhead compartment. For my purposes this was more important than having the extra space for more kit and having to worry about whether I have to check in my camera kit.

So if you are looking at this bag, be aware that there are better, more spacious bags available, but ensure that if you travel a lot, they will not impede you from overhead compartments on the airlines you tend to use.

If your looking for a great bag that you can carry your laptop, slr with -2-3 lenses, and some additional accesories look no further. I especially like that the bag when placed on the floor can stay upright and not fall over like most other bags. Laptop and SLR sections have their own compartments each well paded.

Multi Pattern Owl Canvas Backpack

I've had this bag for only two weeks and already the stitching holding the straps together at the top has torn. I fixed that, and then my strap also tore at the bottom. Unbelievable I spent this much on it for two weeks of use. It's so nice looking but I wish I could use it more.

Bag came early and in good quality. The picture shows bright fabric used, my bag came with dull browns and blues and no bright colors at all. It also had an ugly brown interior. I like the bag but wish it was brighter.

I ordered it hoping to us it to carry all my new camera equipment. This includes a D300, 12-24, 18-200, 70-300, 50 1.4, 10.5 fisheye, and a medium tripod. Ok, a good amount of gear I admit, but certainly no more than is suggested could fit in it's description...and it did. But just barely and certainly with no room left for anything else.

And this sucker is big...Don't let the "medium" moniker mislead you. Most prominently it is thick and fully loaded with gear, its even thicker. But justifiably so, It's got a lot going on. Lot's of space, roller bag AND backpack with tripod holder.

So...great bag, exceptional build quality, holds a decent amount of gear but not enough accessory room for my needs. Although it did fit all my camera gear, there was very little additional room for all the other miscellaneous do-dads that go along with a camera setup. Manuals, filters, portable hard drives, cleaning gear, cables, batteries, chargers, etc...etc...

This bag will definitely do a good job of carrying and protecting your delicate camera setup...just don't plan on taking it ALL with you. You WILL have to pick and choose what you want to have with you...

All in all a thumbs up...

Another reviewer here called upon his disdain for bags to show how nice this bag is. I will do the opposite. I love bags. The more utilitarian, the better. The intent of this bag is to fit and protect a laptop, a ton of camera gear while still being storable in the overhead bin of a commercial aircraft. Does it meet these goals? Yes, but it is not perfect.

Pros:

Room for lots of gear. I can carry both dSLR bodies and the rest of my gear easily. The bag will accommodate my Canon T1i with a battery pack installed without a problem. There's room for a lot of lenses. Since I am still developing my collection of lenses, I can fit my 3 (70-300mm, 18-200mm and 18-55mm) and have room for several others.

Superb protection of gear. The padding is sturdy and strategically placed. You can move around the protective sections, but not at the expense of sturdiness. I say this because some of the bags I have seen will allow you to move the padding, but the fabric separates from the padding itself. This causes sagging and things move around a lot in the bag. This bag by Tenba avoids this problem.

Adaptable. I can use the wheels with the straps all stowed/hidden. The hidden straps don't get in the way when storing at the house or in the plane. Then, fairly easily, I can unzip one zipper, connect two D-rings and close one piece of double-sided Velcro to make the bag a backpack. Pretty easy. And, there is a way to get into the side of the bag to get gear. (More on this later)

Waterproof. The bag is virtually rain-proof even before you put on the included rain cover. Some people have complained about the zippers being stiff. This is a feature, not a defect. The zippers are waterproof so you can hike or travel and not worry about your gear getting wet. Then, you can take out the cover, and your bag becomes completely waterproof.

Tripod holder. Able to adapt to any size tripod. Very nice.

Accessories included. An iPod/phone pocket and media wallet are both included. These are made to snap onto the belt.

Straps and wheels. Straps are comfortable and the waist belt is substantial enough to take the weight off the shoulders. The waist belt is not as substantial as a Kielty hiking bag, but they are nice and effective. The wheels are not cheap.

Laptop compartment Fit my laptops (both my 10 inch and my 17 inch laptop, but not at the same time, of course).

Cons

Size The bag is bigger than the medium moniker suggests. The bag will not fit in commuter plane overhead bins, but it will fit in larger aircraft bins.

Weight The bag is heavy. Put your gear in and it's heavier. :)

Pockets The pocket system is nice, but not as nice as it could be. There are three internal pockets on the inside of the main flap. Two are translucent and one is opaque. There are two larger pockets on either side of the outside of the bag. There is one large outside pocket that doubles as a tripod holding system. These pockets are too generic. I like to have cubby holes for everything. These are just large storage spaces. (personal preference, not a defect)

No real quick access. The zippers are slow to open due to their design to protect (a very nice feature, IMO). The side pockets have access panels into the main compartment, but I cannot fit my camera through the hole easily.

The outer rain cover uses snaps rather than a better fastener, which makes for a frustrating time keeping the cover on. The snaps come undone way too easily and allow for water to breech the outer rain cover.

A great bag, but could benefit from a few improvements. This is highly recommended. I did a lot of searching and the only other bags I really liked were the Lowepro series. But, this bag had all the items I needed. Look around and compare, but don't pass up comparing the line of Tenba bags for your camera gear needs.

I love my camera and all of my lenses, I hate having to carry them around. That said, this is one of the best solutions I've found. The wheels are convenient. It's fairly large, I can fit 2 bodies (Canon 5DII, 30D), 3 L-series 2.8 lenses (16-35/24-70/70-200IS), a fisheye, 50mm, 2 flashes and quite a few other accessories, including my laptop. It's got so many pockets I even forgot where I put my memory cards on my last shoot. Then I remembered it comes with a CF card case. Sweet.

There are a few drawbacks. Being a backpack with wheels, the wheel track is very narrow causing the bag to occasionally barrelroll as your roll it-you just have to be careful. The outside of the bag is not as padded as I'd hoped either. The best place for the camera is on the the bottom of the bag, but that makes me nervous with all the weight on it.

Otherwise, the design, features and build qualities are top notch. No issues with this. I can't wait to travel with it. At $176 it was an excellent value.

I searched high & low to find a backpack with wheels that I could use as a carry-on bag on small commuter planes. I need to fit some camera gear (Nikon D3S with attached 70-200mm lens, plus a couple other small lenses, speedlights, and odds-n-ends) and a 15" lapop too. It seemed every bag with wheels was gigantic except this one. The video made it look pretty small... I figured it wouldn't fit in the tiny overhead bins but surely since I wouldn't be putting THAT much in it (not taking the laptop on this next trip), it could squish down under the seat in front of me. I measured out the dimensions stated online and it looked like it would work. But as soon as I saw the giant box at my door I knew it was going to be a problem...

First of all, it's a GREAT bag, very well made, and if I could afford to buy 2 bags now, one for commuter travel, and one for say driving jobs (or flying on bigger planes with more overhead space) I would keep this in a heartbeat. Extremely well-made and feels super-durable.

But the durable-ness works against you if you were hoping to "squish" it a little because there is a firm plastic (rubber?) plate in the bottom that gives it support and it won't move. There's nothing you can remove to make it any thinner, either, as the backpack straps, laptop compartment and handle/wheels are all just built in (again, durable, but....). If these maybe zippered off or something it might work for this kind of travel.

I remembered I had an old laptop bag that barely fit under the seats of the commuter planes, so I dug it out and measured it and sure enough, it's only 8" deep (8" x 13" x 16"). I figure loaded with a laptop and all the stuff I used to carry, it might have been 9" deep but that's probably the max height under a seat of a commuter plane so anything deeper/higher than this you would be hard-pressed to fit. Wish I'd remembered this before I ordered the Tenba.

So I'm switching it for a Kata 3N1 30 (says one side is only 7.5" so it SHOULD fit) and buying the Insertrolly separate since I definitely want wheels. My old Kata bag is fine, just too small for this camera/lens setup I now have... plus I figure I can take off the trolley if I need to save space (and it seems nice to just have an extra luggage trolley).

I really wish one of these many bag companies would just address this issue of commuter-plane travel. NO photographer wants to gate-check their gear, and there's such small space for carry-on bags. But camera gear is heavy, as are the laptops we like to take, so the wheels would be a real back-saver for the airport. I've seen messenger-style ones that come close to fitting the bill but if you've already got your hands full with other stuff a backpack style would be easiest to get down the tiny plane aisles. Plus who wants to trek around a city or a jungle with a messenger bag? PLEASE SOMEONE MAKE THIS BAG! :)

Pro's:

1) stylish, cool looking design

2) super handy to have the handle/wheels option

3) multiple configuration options for the interior/storage

4) BONUS: comes with an extra storage pouch, rain cover, and a memory card pouch (doesn't tell you that in the description)

5) very hardy dropped it, dragged it everywhere, rained on....gear stayed safe.

Con's:

1) zippers can be a tad hard to pull one-handed due to the weatherproof design

2) HEAVY! the bag alone without gear is unbelievably heavy.

3) The "one stick" handle can be difficult to wheel the bag on uneven terrain it constantly tips to one side.

4) The backpack strap system takes up a LOT of space.

5) The laptop area is VERY VERY tight. Can barely fit one in without force.

All in all, I love the bag. My gear is safe & secure, and I can fit SO MUCH stuff in there. Therein lies the problem it's too heavy. Way too heavy, even without my stuff in there I can tell you as a 5' tall woman, I will NEVER be able to wear this thing as a backpack. So I cut off the straps that were a big waste of space, and have a great rolling gear bag. By the time I realized I would never be able to wear it as a backpack, I'd already been using it too long so my error. Next time, lighter bag!

I can't give it a bad rating it's not the bag's fault I find it heavy. It's well made, lots of great details/designs. It's a great bag. If you're Superman.

Ogio Midtown Women's Laptop/Tablet Messenger Bag

There are several things about this bag that I really love:

1. It's spacious. Fits my laptop, iPad, chargers, wallet, and do-dads without being bulky.

2. It has a back pocket so you can attach it easily and safely to your carry on luggage.

3. It's adorable. The styling is really cute and makes for a nice ladies messenger without being too frou frou.

After a month of use, here are the things I feel need improvement:

1. The front flap only has a Velcro closure. When you have things in the front pockets or if it's heavy, the Velcro easily comes undone. If the bag fell over, all of your stuff would spill out. It would be nice to have a buckle for security.

2. The buckle on the strap is uncomfortable and digs in. Could use padding.

3. The strap itself gets easily twisted and is difficult to un-twist. I gave up on mine after two weeks.

In all, it serves its purpose and it's cute. But it still needs a few tweaks to be really good.

I replaced my regular backpack with the Ogio Manhattan Messenger bag (in the blue "Tide" color) for college. The surprising thing is, ALL of my stuff fits! This bag has alot of room! It's definitely a well made bag toothe shoulder buckle is sturdy, the strap is like a seatbelt, and the pockets for electronics are lined with a soft terrycloth like material. The bottom and back of the bag are padded (the back is a black quilted panel). The only complaint I can come up with for this bag is that the little flap pockets on the sides are shallow, and can't fit a pen or pencil without the flap remaining up. The buttons on the front of the bag are super cute! Also, the zipper pockets on the front are two separate pockets -one small and one large that overlap inside. Overall, the bag is great quality, spacious, and lovely to look at!

I have a 17" Mac Book Pro laptop that is hard to find covers and bags for. It fits perfectly (with room to spare) in this messenger bag. The color is so fun and I get tons of compliments on it. The way the strap is designed, it stays so nicely on my shoulder. It's not bulky and doesn't add weight to my already hefty laptop. Love the button design! Great job, Ogio!

I've been using this bag for about a week now, and I am close to saying I love it. It is surprisingly easy on the shoulders considering there is no strap-guard (the kind that pads the the straps as it weighs down on you). The compartment for your laptop is nicely padded, and the insides all feel very smooth. The back pocket for your tablet is also perfectly lined; you won't feel anything hitting against your hip as you walk (I didn't put a tablet in the back, I placed my wallet there and didn't feel it digging into my hip when I walked or sat). It also has plenty of other pockets on the front of the flap (the two zippers you see in the image lead to two different pockets, one on the right being smaller than the one on the left).

There are 2 problems with this bag. As another customer has mentioned already: you cannot overload this bag. This bag has no clasp, it closes by the sole power of two velcro patches on the bottom corners. If you over-stuff this bag, your bag will not close and the contents of your bag can come spilling out easily by just tipping over on the floor. I never overload my messengers (I'm lazy, why carry more when you can carry less?) so I don't have this problem, but it can be an issue.

Finally, my biggest problem with this product is that the "compartments" on the left and right sides of this bag are not compartments at all. They are more like slits with a bit of wiggle room if you poke your fingers in. It's hard to put anything in there. My previous bag had extremely roomy compartments on the sides for things like a water bottle or an umbrella which this product doesn't seem to have. I guess you can put both the water bottle and an umbrella INTO the bag, but bottles can spill and umbrellas after use are wet. You wouldn't want that kind of mess within the interior of your comfy bag.

For these reasons, this bag gets a 4/5.

By the way, the lining within the interior are polka-dotted. This is true for most colors of this line of messenger bags (I know because I saw most of them in my university bookstore). The preview pictures on Amazon show no polka dots on the lining, but I'm pretty sure most of these OGIO bags have polka dots. Just a heads up for people buying this, if polka dots bother you.

It's a nice bag it holds most of my stuff that's only because I have a lot of stuff. But it's very sturdy. I just wish I got the larger one because my lap top doesn't fit. But, this one was cuter. I really like the bright colored polka dots it makes it a more fun bag. received a lot of complements on it. I also received the bag very quickly in about 2 days of me ordering it. That really surprised me since I just used regular shipping

MILITARY INSPIRED BACKPACK DAYPACK BOOKBAG BLACK CANVAS

This was a great looking bag, a little different than the usual. I attend college, and must carry quite a few books but I was very disappointed when the shoulder strap pulled out within a few weeks.

I like it so far, the material is nice, not leather or anything like that but its a good size and has 7 pockets in total. I like it :)

I like the style of the back pack. Also I received it faster than what the estimated date for it was. The downsides to this was, all the straps use to secure this bag slip right through and can't hold anything. I can sew so this isn't a huge issue but it does mean I have to take time out of my day to sew each strap. If I couldn't sew I would send this back to the company. Also it was confusing finding out which strap went to which. Other than that it's a cool backpack.
