Royce Leather Laptop Backpack

Royce Leather Laptop Backpack - BlackI shopped for a long time before I chose this laptop backpack. I needed a big backpack and this one is big. I often have to carry two laptops and this backpack has enough room for both of them and the other stuff that has to travel with them. It is comfortable to carry and it does not slip off my shoulder when I am carrying it with one strap. The leather and the construction seem to be good so I think it will last for a long time. I also like that it has a drink pocket. I frequently carry a thermos of coffee. (I didn't think I'd use it before I bought the backpack but I use it all the time now.)

one of the very few upscale backpacks I could find that had the internal capacity to fit pads, folders, etc in addition to a very large laptop. leather quality is exceptional

Military Inspired Stylish Backpack Canvas Day Pack Black

Military Inspired Stylish Backpack Canvas Day Pack BlackI like this bag, it's as described, with all canvas and brass-looking buckles for closure, and the top has a draw string to close it up snug. The inside is lined with water-resistent material, and has a zipper pouch that has quite a bit of room. I was hoping it would fit my 16" laptop, but it's rather snug when I have the sleeve on it. I don't think I would use it for my laptop. The straps are kind of short, and are "buckled" to how short or long you want them, but they are kind of short. I think I may end up tying them together to use as one strap. Don't think I would recommend this for a college student, if you have to carry around a laptop, but for high school it would work out. I may end up just carting my laptop around in its sleeve.

UPDATE!!!

I've had trouble with the straps. I ended up sewing them together, and I'm hoping that will solve the problem, as the "buckles" they were adjusted with kept losing the strap and it would drop off my shoulder with my laptop inside!!

I am going to end up carrying my laptop in its sleeve, but the backpack itself is pretty nice. It does fit my 16" laptop, but I'm worried about the straps slipping again. I can fit all of my school stuff binders, spiral notebooks, and extendable folder. I'm probably not going to put my books in it again, with the straps. I suppose I could tie them in knots.

The backpack is cute, which is why I got it in the first place. That's the only reason I gave it 2 stars instead of 1. But other than that, it has been the worst quality backpack I've ever had. I wasn't expecting that due to the fact that it's canvas, and that is a very durable fabric

The straps started to fall apart only a week into owning it. The inside lining is falling apart. I literally sat down and re-sewed in every single seam in this backpack because the string is soooo weak. It's fallen apart on me randomly MULTIPLE times.

I was EXTREMELY disappointed in this backpack. And it was really sad, because I held off on buying a backpack else where because I found this one at a reasonable price and thought it would "last longer". I guess I know now not to buy anything that says "stylish" in the description title. *sigh* ): ):

I ordered this backpack on Friday the 6th, and received it today the 11th! What a quick ship! I took it out and was immediately pleased with its size. I am a high school student and wanted to use this backpack for my books; this backpack is the perfect size! not too big, not too small. This bag has a little edge to it which I like and the buckles are super cute. I highly recommend this bag because of its cheap price and it's succeding to meet my expectations. Hope I was of help!

This is a great bag. Very spacey. The straps for the compartments are a little annoying as you have to take out the straps each time you want to get into a compartment. I also wouldn't put anything too heavy in this bag. But it's a great bag to use and it's also pretty stylish

Want Military Inspired Stylish Backpack Canvas Day Pack Black Discount?

I ordered three of these bags. Two for men and one for my nephew. My nephew loves his bag! Already has all of his fishing gear packed up inside.

The problem is it is too small for an adult man. It sits very high on the back and makes a 6 ft tall man look like it is his first day of preschool.

The quality of the bag is nice.

We would recommend this bag to others that are looking for a childs backpack for outdoor activities.

The buckles are a little cheap and may slip if the bag is too heavy.

High Sierra Mayhem Backpack

High Sierra Mayhem BackpackI compared 4 High Sierra backpack models: Mayhem (this model), Neo High Sierra Neo Backpack,AccessHigh Sierra Access Backpack, and Incline High Sierra Incline Backpack. I'm a 5'2" woman. For my uses (carryon for travel/day hikes), I selected the Neo model, but this model was a close second. If they'd change the yoke style shoulder straps to 2 single shoulder straps, offer it in the Purple print, add a back access zipper, make shoulder pouch larger, and eliminate the rivets, it would be a perfect pack. The Yoke style straps tend to dig into the back of my neck unless I keep the pack at a lower position. All 4 packs had tags indicating that they could hold a 17" laptop. The Access and Incline could not hold my Dell 17" Inspiron, but this one could. All 4 packs had pouches in the shoulder straps. The only pack that could hold my iphone in an otterbox case was the Neo model. Three of the models including this one, had a larger and probably more durable zippers than the Incline model. The padding on the bottom seems the same on all models. The raincover on the Access provides some extra padding when the raincover is in the hidden pouch. The padding on the backs of the packs seem to be about the same. I didn't use the packs, so I can't comment on the ventilation/airflow materials at the back of the packs.

Pros:

Fabric seems durable

Adjustable side compression straps

Does fit my 17" Dell Inspiron Computer. (16.5" L x 11.5)

One Strap for attaching accessories to the front of the pack

Front pocket with clip holds one 16-20 oz bottle or 1000 ml nalgene bottle. Easy in and out.

2 zippered side pockets. Can hold one 16-20 oz bottle in each.

Lots of space in this pack. My measurements are 19.5x13.5x10 = 2632 cu in. Less space than the Neo

Cons:

Comes only in purple, not purple print fabric (very nice) like other models

Yoke style straps dig into the back of my neck. This model has straps that are further apart, so less comfortable for a smaller person.

Pouch on shoulder strap (5"x3") fits iphone without case, not with case.

Does not have Back access zipper for getting laptop in/out of pack

Has decorative rivets on pack. Concerned that they will catch on something and put hole in pack or rip fabric.

Arrived quickly, perfect for what I needed for College. Bag is made well and helps my ridiculously heavy books not feel so heavy! :)

This is a great backpack. It distributes the weight so that it doesn't hurt my shoulders. The only thing it's missing is a bottle holder, otherwise it is fantastic.

Got 2 of these for my children. One is in high school and the other is in jr high! Very large, holds alot-kids love them. Lots of space! This will last them into college.

I pack my workout clothes, books, notebooks, pencils, paper, tablet (though it would readily accommodate a laptop), graphing calculator, and I still have pockets for more! Backpack has a great fit for riding my bicycle or walking, fits comfortably. The only thing I would design better is the shoulder-strap tightening system; the end of the straps just dangle with no good place to secure them. A very minor flaw given the price and quality of the backpack.

Fox Men's Step Up 2 Backpack

Fox Men's Step Up 2 Backpack, Gray, One SizeI've been looking for a backpack to replace the two bags I carry for both jobs. This bag is large enough that it fits everything I needed in a much more organized way. While not a dufflebag like I used to carry, It works well and feels like it'll last.

The Continental - Vintage Ladies Shopping / Traveling Backpack

The Continental - Vintage Ladies Shopping / Traveling Backpack
  • Brushed twill with luxe full-grain leather and timmed
  • with a creany saddle stitch.

I love this bag. It's not a dainty purse; it's like a school backpack but professional and "classic" in style. In addition to the extremely roomy main compartment and the front organizer pocket, there are two deep internal zippered pockets, pen loops, sunglasses pocket, internal pocket with flap (I use it for keys), and a side zip pocket for a phone. I can pull my cell phone out of the side pocket while wearing the bag. I use the bag year round, all the time, and it's held up wonderfully. It holds my iPad, a bluetooth keyboard, my wallet, my makeup bag, a book, sunglasses, pens, coupon organizer, cell phone, cell charger, ear buds, checkbook, feminine products, keys, gum, water bottle, gloves--all at once! I love using it everyday, when I travel by car or plane, and at work. I've gotten lots of compliments on it. It's sturdy and stylish. I can adjust the straps. I can wipe it clean with a damp cloth. Any wear on the fabric just seems to add character and doesn't detract from the continental flavor of the bag--it still looks great! The draw strings stay fairly taut. The large flap over the top keeps things secure. The loop on the top is great for hanging from coat hooks.

I must use a backpack due to shoulder, neck, and back problems (maybe because I carry too much crap?). This bag has wide straps to distribute weight and they don't dig or pinch my neck and shoulders. The bag doesn't slap my back when I walk or droop to my butt. However, my clothes sometimes creep up if I do a lot of walking, and I need to pull down my shirt or jacket in the back. Only other problems: It weighs too much with all my stuff in it! (Duh!) It weighs five pounds when empty. The leather strap over the buckle curls up now after 12 months+ of use. I need to polish the leather due to some scuff marks...haven't done it yet. I tried to replace this bag just for variety's sake, and looked for hours and hours at over 1600 different bags in stores and online. I briefly tried two others. Now I'm back to this one and want to get it in black and maybe get another one in brown just to have when/if this one wears out. Bellino also makes matching luggage, laptop bags, etc.

My 6-year-old has been using this backpack for 2 months now. So far, it's holding up well, even though she's pretty rough with it. She loves the design and the pockets on the side are a good size for her water bottle.

OGIO Adrenaline Driven 17" Laptop Backpack Bag

OGIO Adrenaline Driven L-5 17' Computer Notebook/Laptop BackpackIt is a great bag great styling heaps of pockets it's almost a freaking Pandoras box ,but with a laptop in a a 2 in and 1 in binder things become rather snug just consider when buying this bag take into account how much stuff you have ,but great bag overall

This backpack is very nice and provides good protection for the laptop. I have a 17" HP laptop and it fits with room to spare. The padding in the laptop compartment seems adequate for protection and the tablet pocket is also well padded and fits my iPad3 with case very well, also with room to spare. The shoulder straps are well padded and comfortable and adjust easily while being worn. There are plenty of pockets and compartments for all your device and mobile storage needs. The only knock I have (and this goes for just about every backpack I've seen), there is no "Hard" bottom so the backpack does not stand upright then set on a desk or the ground.

5 stars would be 6 if there were more, providing protection for the contents, comfortable to wear and FAST shipping. I would recommend this backpack to anyone who is in the market for one.

Organizer Black Leather Padfolio

Organizer Black Leather PadfolioThis is not leather and definitely not worth the money . I am not sure from where do sellers list the original price on their items to show the savings . I fell for this one and payed for it with a substandard product .

This will serve its purpose of being compact will carry a few things in my briefcase without getting wrinkled. It is good quality and very compact so do not expect for it to be a supplemental briefcase.

I was nervous about ordering this backpack because my daughter is so picky and there was only a few days left before school started. I wasn't worried that it wouldn't come in in time because Amazon is so quick, but that she wouldn't like it. She absolutely loved it. Mommy got a high five!! It's really cute. She loves that it has a separate pocket on the inside to put small things in. Its sturdy, too, and will last all school year.

Backpack - Dora The Explorer - Forest

Backpack - Dora The Explorer - ForestMy neice loves Dora and loves this backpack, she puts everything in it. It was a little large for her at the age of two , but will grow with her nicely.

A big hit for the new preschooler! It's been used for a few months, going back and forth to preschool and weekend parent stays. The backpack has held up nicely.. Roomy enough for nap blanket, snacks, and "stuff" that kids collect and carry.

Pet Life Dog Harness, Black, Medium

Pet Life Dog Harness, Black, MediumThis appears to be a nice product but it was WAY too small for my dog. I purchased the medium size for my rottie healer (she's about 45 pounds) and this was sized more for a teacup chiwawa or something. Definitely wasn't going to work for me so I will be returing it. It seemed like it was decently made and the quality of the materiel was nice if you have a little puppy.

This harness appears much larger on line then it really is...I was unable to use it as it was way too small for my dog. :(

Derek Alexander Small Tear Drop Bike PackI have had this for a couple of weeks now. It not overly large and just right for my stuff. I found another zipper pocket in the lower zipper pouch and was pretty excited more extra room!!! I think i will have this purse for a long long time. It works for me and i prefer a backpack purse to a shoulder one that does not fall off all the time. I can put my kindle in the back zipper pocket, which i didn't consider when it purchased it so all in all this little bag has work great for me so far.

Thomas and Friends Superstar Full Size Thomas Backpack - Thomas the Tank Engine School Bag

Thomas and Friends Superstar Full Size Thomas Backpack - Thomas the Tank Engine School BagI received this bag on time and it was very neatly packaged. However, within 1 or 2 days of carrying this bag, with only a pair of shorts and a shirt in it, this bag started to come apart on the inside at the seams. I think that a bag, at this cost should have been more sturdy. I do not recommend this bag. It is not of durable quality...just pretty to look at. I am very disappointed with it and so is my 4 year old son for whom the bag was purchased.

My 6 year old son was thrilled with this backpack. It's the right size for a little one, but after only 2 months of use there are holes in the bottom and the top. He carries a plastic folder to school and the edges of the folder rubbed in a spot and now we've got holes. I've duct taped the heck out of it to keep it going longer as my son adores the backpack and I'd like to get a bit more use out of it, but I certainly wouldn't buy it again due to it's lack of durability.
