STM BAGS Scout Small Laptop Shoulder Bag, Fits most 13-Inch Laptops, Olive

STM BAGS Scout Small Laptop Shoulder Bag, Fits most 13-Inch Laptops, OliveI needed a bag that had a minimal form factor but protected my MacBook Air well. This bag is almost perfect. It offers great protection for my Air, with enough space that I can put my MBA and iPad into the protected compartment with just the right amount of space. The two front pockets offer enough room for accessories, like a power cord or other cables. The secondary large pocket, between the protected compartment and the two accessory pockets is just deep enough for two Moleskines side by side. The bag seems to be very well made and durable. Very comfortable to wear as well I highly recommend it.

It's inexpensive, but the lines are clean and the design is refined. I use it to transport my 13 in Macbook Pro to and from work. It protects the laptop really well and leaves room for my kindle, a notebook, some pens and a file folder. I'm a huge fan of this bag, especially at the price!

Buy STM BAGS Scout Small Laptop Shoulder Bag, Fits most 13-Inch Laptops, Olive Now

I ordered this based solely on some results on internet searches for my 13" macbook pro. I have a great small Incase bag that perfectly fits the MBP and a few accessories very well, but now that I have some apps that turn my iPad into more than just a toy or a kindle replacement, I needed something that was still small, designed for a 13" laptop, but also had space to carry the iPad relatively safely. So some people gave this good word of mouth on a few boards, I liked the photos on the manufacturer's website, so thought I'd give it a try.

Online photos showed some decent storage, and clearly showed a space where they had an iPad stored as well, and after receiving it, everything is more or less as shown on the website. Laptop fits alright, the inner sleeve is soft to protect the finish of the laptop, and there's an inner flap with velcro that also covers the laptop sleeve in addition to the main flap. Inside the right side accessory pouch there's three sleeves for things like small screwdrivers, pens, etc, and one larger one that fits my Sony digital camera or a cell phone well. With those little holders filled, there is still space for a few other things like sync and charge cables, etc. The left side accessory pouch has no other storage options in it, only the larger pouch, works well for the power adapters.

Along the top edge of the "back wall" of these pouches is a zipper, where you can open up and put papers and such in, maybe 10" long.

This outer storage portion is the outside wall of the smaller space to store an iPad or paper notepads and such, which extends the full length of the bag.

The laptop sleeve itself is padded on all sides and the bottom by some pretty sturdy foam that's a little more than 1/3" thick. The top velcro closure is padded but thinly, probably because it will also have the large flap closed for a little more material protection. Strap is actually easily adjusted, with a quick release tensioner, something I wish other laptop bags did.

Padding on the strap is removable and slides the whole length to put it where you want. The issue with this is that it slides TOO easily, so every time I put it down, when I pick it up I have to reposition the pad again. It is not the softest padding, but since this bag won't fit one of the huge 17" laptops, the padding works well anyway. It's supposedly some non slip material, and while it is not as slippery as some others, it doesn't hold as well as a few of my other bags.

While it's squared off on the bottom, it doesn't stand on its own if there's accessories in it but no laptop.

My biggest gripe is that the accessory pockets extend all the way to the edge, and the way the main flap closes, the edges of those pouches are NOT well covered... So if you're out in the rain, water WILL get in those pouches, and, to a lesser degree, the other storage spot where I plan on carrying my iPad...

So good for most things, but the vulnerability of this to rain has me unwilling to give it more stars...

I have had a bag fetish for many years and have owned over 30 of them always searching for the perfect bag. As far as a messenger bag goes, this is the best one out. Its comfortable, looks great, high quality material and the strap is great. I just wish they had a version with a slimmer build for the laptop compartment as I have a Macbook Air that is very slim and the space is for a normal sized machine.

Want STM BAGS Scout Small Laptop Shoulder Bag, Fits most 13-Inch Laptops, Olive Discount?

I purchased this bag after looking around at many many bags. I wanted a bag that would hold the following without any hassle: A 13" laptop, the power adapter, a notebook, and a folder for documents. All of that fits great, I could probably squeeze some sort of tablet in there, too. On top of that, the construction & materials are solid, so I'm not concerned that something is going to break unexpectedly.

The cons are trivial. The main latch requires you to reach a little bit extra for it, and I do wish that the bottom of the bag had some sort of rubber or plastic so that I could just wipe it off if I set the bag in something messy. Yeah, those are honestly the worst things I can say about the bag. I love it!

Ibex 17 Inch Notebook Backpack

Ibex 17 Inch Notebook BackpackFirst things first: has my removable pouch been stolen? coz i can't find it. ;) Maybe it's just another amazon error in the product description.

If anyone can find the removable pouch, let me know.

Down to the proper review:

There's no point repeating all the great features mentioned by others. You've read the other reviews: you know all about the fact that it's pretty much the only bag guaranteed to fit the large 17" laptops. In fact Dell sell it on their website as a bag that fits their 17inchers.

Here's a feature no one else has mentioned so far: unlike the Columbia Cyberpack, it has a plastic [fake leather] waterproof base so u can confidently place it on a wet/messy floor.

Someone mentioned the zippers not having zipper flaps to stop rain getting in. But we all know that those flaps over the zips can be awkward. I'm looking at my bag right now and i can see that there are flaps BENEATH the zipper on each side. So for rain to get in, it would have to get thru the zipper then thru the flap/ribbing directly [like 3mm] underneath. It's hard to describe what it is but it is water proof material beneath each side of the zip that closes together like drawn curtains when the zip is zippered shut.

NOT MENTIONED B4:

One nice visual aid is that the zippers for the main compartment are noticeably bigger than the others.

Also there is an apparently flimsy handle at the back behind the main handle. It's to hang the empty/lightly filled bag up on a hook. It took me about a minute to work out what it was for. :O

btw: the main handle is totally over-engineered but gorgeous: it is a very soft plastic and fabric handle surrounding a a steel wire handle which is itself coated in plastic. It's one mean looking handle.

One thing, I've noticed is that one of the shoulder straps is loose around the length adjuster and i have to keep tightening it up or the one for the right shoulder keeps getting longer and longer. I'm thinking of stitching it into the desired position but because i go to the gym and have aspirations of getting an upper body like John Cena's, i fear that if i stitch the shoulder straps into the present desired position that when [not if ;)] i get huge it would no longer fit across my back and I'd have to unstitch the straps and readjust to fit around my hopefully huge back. As you can imagine: i hope i do encounter this problem. It would be a small price to pay for looking like John Cena. ;)

btw: In comparison with the Columbia Cyberpack [a laptop backpack for up to 15-Inchers], that i also own, it doesn't have the Cyberpack's reflective elements useful for when walking at night.

Perhaps the quick pocket [the red-lined pouch near the handle] should have been made of luminous material on it's inside [instead of the red lining] to help find things in the dark when outside. I suggest keeping a small torch inside the small pocket inside the quick pocket.

The organiser/organizer panel in the front compartment elicits mixed feelings:

Pros:

I has two slots for credit cards. Good

A good mesh pocket to hold a battery powered shaver.

A good pen holding pocket.

Cons:

It has three pockets. good. but they are on top of each other so if you use all three it cause a bit of a bulge in the front pocket.

Also, there is a clip for key rings but the thing it so short it's hard to find and a lot more awkward than what it should be.

I suggest buying the "Victorinox 1679500 Army Knife Swiss Champ" to fit in the organiser panel. It has a pocket to fit it.

SUMMARY OF POCKETS/COMPARTMENTS:

TEN EXTERNAL COMPARTMENTS/POCKETS:

U CAN SEE THEM FOR YOURSELVES. :) But you'd have to go on other websites. So here is a summary:

1: front compartment [contains organiser panel]

2: book compartment [directly behind front compartment]

3: main bag compartment [behind book compartment]

4: a top 'quick pocket' deep enough to fit an open hand in up to your wrist

5: laptop compartment

6: left mesh pocket [un-zippered]

7: right mesh pocket [un-zippered]

8: left diagonal side pocket

9: right diagonal side pocket

10: pocket on the left shoulder strap that is good for holding a small mobile phone, mp3 player etc. I find it very useful to put a bus ticket in.

ORGANISER PANEL [INSIDE FRONT COMPARTMENT][a group of small pockets for stationary etc]:

* LEFT POCKET: holds pens and has two slots for credit card sized cards

* CENTRE TRIPLE DECKER POCKET: three pockets on top of each other

* RIGHT MESH POCKET: large enough to hold a small shaver

* red zippered pocket behind the organiser panel

* hidden key ring clip [A SORT OF BAG EQUIVALENT OF A DVD EASTER EGG ;)]

FIVE INTERNAL POCKETS [THAT HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH ORGANISER PANEL] [HIDDEN EXTRAS]:

1: zippered mesh pocket inside book compartment

2: document/magazine pocket inside the main compartment

3: small pocket inside the top 'quick pocket' near the handle. [with an exit for mp3 player head/earphones]

4: document pocket inside the laptop compartment [I SUGGEST NOT PUTTING TOO MUCH IN THERE COZ IT MIGHT PRESS AGAINST THE LAPTOP SCREEN-LID.]

5: small zippered mesh pocket inside top of laptop compartment.

There are two problems I have had with notebook backpacks in the past. Number one was, that they say to be 17 inch compatible, but they actually do not fit larger than average 17 inch notebooks. Rest assured that this backpack will even fit the largest 17 inch laptops. I can fit the Dell XPS into it with no problems. The zipper line does not lie tensely over the corners of the notebook and does not create scratches.

Number two is the quality of the zippers. The zippers have to run smoothly, easily, and not come apart, split open, get stuck, or display other annoying dysfunctions. The zippers on this pack are of very good quality.

There is tons of auxiliary storage space. If I had a say in it, the shoulder straps could have a little more padding, but since it fits my large notebook, I will not deduct any stars this time.

This back pack is very good. Well made, sturdy for carrying all the weight. The two items missing that keep this from being a 5 star review are: no waist strap, With all this wieght in the pack this would help alot. 2nd is no rain flaps on the zippers. I am in Seattle and I am concerned over rain getting into the bag on the long daily commute.

17.5 inch laptop (10lbs) 4lb power brick. plus lunch, note book, paper work, coffee thermos, Oracle manual, Reading book. Yep, alot fits in this while staying compact.

This Ibex backpack is the very best backpack on the market for a 17" laptop, but it's slightly disappointing when you compare it side-by-side with the 15" Synergy backpack from this VERY SAME COMPANY! I don't understand why Wengar Swiss Gear doesn't simply make a 17" version of the Synergy backpack?

Right off the bat, I was disappointed to find out that this 17" backpack has FEWER POCKETS AND STORAGE COMPARTMENTS than the 15" backpack. How is that possible for a bag that's supposed to carry a LARGER laptop? My biggest disappointment, however, was that there is NO SMALL ZIPPER POCKET on the very front of the frontmost pocket. This pocket was so handy for quickly throwing in airplane tickets or itineraries or anything else that you need to grab quickly. Next, the zipper pockets on the 2 sides are absolutely tiny and can barely hold a pack of gum. Compare this with the 15" backpack, which has HUGE zipper pockets on the sides which stretch all the way down the side of the backpack... I used to store my digital camera and other big items in those side pockets.

However, after using this backpack for 2 years, I have grown to love it and I have yet to find any other backpacks that are BETTER than this one. So this is absolutely the best backpack on the market, but there's always room for improvement! :)

I'm ambivalent about this review.

The pros are that this backpack has a lot of room and carries everything well.

The cons are signficant.

1) if you are a semi-muscular person, the shoulder straps could hurt. The one thing that other owners of this knapsack have commented on is that this problem could be solved if Wenger had just put cross strap that crosses in front of one's chest and connects the two shoulder straps.

2) one of the shoulder straps has a place for a cell phone. There are a couple of problems with it. First, it is way too narrow to fit a smartphone (e.g. an iPhone or a BlackBerry). It can only fit an old-fashioned cell phone (i.e. a non-smartphone). Second, the bottom of this cell phone holder is a major weak spot for the knapsack. It broke apart after a month. The worst thing is that I've seen this exact same problem on several different Wenger backpacks.

3) the other shoulder strap has completely fallen apart.

Wenger needs to redesign the shoulder straps for their backpacks. They have a great product otherwise, but since many people are carrying laptops in their backpacks, shoulder straps that break apart endanger laptops. In contrast, I've had an L.L. Bean backpack for 10 years and have put them same amount of stuff in it. The shoulder straps are still intact, however, the Wenger backpack has better aesthetics.

NOTE: I have to write an update. If you want absolutely great customer service, then Wenger is the company. I went to their website and found the email address for the Warranty Department. I sent an email and they responded within 30 minutes. They asked for some readily available information and a few pics of the problem. I sent it to them and they responded within 30 minutes that I needed to pay $10 for shipping and handling by PayPal. I did this and they again sent me a reply email within 30 minutes that a replacement backpack was going to be sent to me. I received it the very next day. I did not have to waste any time or energy sending back the defective backpack, and now I have a perfect knapsack again. Wow! Truly A+ customer service.

I'm still unsure about the quality of this item, but no other company I've ever dealt with has the customer service of Wenger. This company totally deserves its excellent reputation.

If this backpack holds up, then I will revise and give it far more stars.

Alienware M 17-Inch 17.3-Inch 17.6-Inch Laptop Case Shoulder Bag Carrying Sleeve

Alienware M 17-Inch 17.3-Inch 17.6-Inch Laptop Case Shoulder Bag Carrying SleeveI bought this bag to fit my newly purchased Alienware m17x R4. Needless to say from the title, it does not fit. The m17x is a behemoth of a laptop.

I didn't buy this bag to carry around my m17x in. Rather, I bought this bag to provide extra cushioning/padding for my m17x in the Alienware messenger bag, but that's not happening. I just use this bag now to carry the Coolermaster U3 fan dock and other smaller accessories.

The alien head on the bag looks cool and sports the Alienware look, but it does not provide the function of fitting an Alienware laptop unless it's the Alienware m14x or m15x.

Good for a basic basic case. I feel for the price its should have a bit more padding. Like the large logo on the front. Pro looks cool. Con cheap feel not enough padding

Dora the Explorer : Diego Trifold Wallet / Animal Rescuer

Dora the Explorer : Diego Trifold Wallet / Animal RescuerMy 3 1/2 year old son love his Diego wallet. It is very sturdy and durable. I am so glad to have found a Diego wallet since my son loves everything Diego and I can see that it will last for a long time.

I am getting this wallet for my son's frist wallet for his 3rd birthday. I'm excited that I was able to find a wallet with a picture of something he'd know. I'm sure he'll love it and if he lost it it wasn't really expensive. The only downside was I thought the whole wallet was blue, and it is actually purple. Hard to tell from the photo and it doesn't state the color.

Overall I'm happy.

Fi-Hi Creamsicle Black Speaker Backpack

Fi-Hi Creamsicle Black Speaker BackpackThis backpack has been one of the coolest and brilliant purchases ive made on amazon, the material is crazy durable looks like it can withstand extensive use, I use it for rollerblading and listening to music with friends in Central Park its a great way to blade or skateboard or even bike also for day to day stuff in bag, I only wish it were a little bigger but it fits my sneakers/shoes fine.

Pros: --Good material, --Waterproof definitely, --cool logos comes with stickers, --speakers sound good however dont expect too much bass, --inner design is cool too,--Big front pocket, --Great lil carry around bag honestly, Cant wait to take it to the beach and look like the cooolest guy u ever seen. Rockaway Beach 116 Holla!.

Cons: --flimsy wires (the cables inside that connect to the Double-A battery pack seperates into two wires one for each speaker like a headphone jack, its kinda faulty and one side may go out from time to time, may have to replace wires with newer more durable ones maybe buy a rechargeable battery pack) awesome idea for a backpack still.

--too small, im (Male) 5'11 190lbs and this felt more for a person of about 5'4 150lbs, Still if u need something small such as me its awesome, NYC crowded trains are not ideal for huge duffels.

That is all

CA state law says you can't listen to headphones while bike riding unless you use only one ear bud. That just didn't fly with me so I bought this backpack. I chose this backpack because it's the only one that has 2 speakers. Music has been recorded in stereo (2 channels) since the 1960's so I don't understand why they make so many one-speaker devices. I guess most people don't care. Anyways, I'm very happy with my purchase. The backpack itself is nice and compact, perfect for bike riding, but it surprisingly fits a lot of stuff. I rode to the store and I was able to fit a loaf of bread, a half gallon of almond milk, a bag salad, and a half dozen eggs no problem (glad i didn't crash with the eggs). As far as the audio, this thing sounds pretty good for what it is. It will really bump when you're inside. When I'm outside cycling I have to turn my ipod up a little more due to road noise. You control the volume using your own mp3 player, there is no volume control on the backpack amp, it's defaulted at full volume which I like (who wants to mess with 2 volume controls when you're out having fun?) The little amp is in the small pocket and it looks like a little cd player. It's powered by 4 AA's and it shines a blue LED when powered on. An LED on the outside would've been nice since I never remember to turn it off. The batteries do last a while but as they drain the sound quality gets worse and worse. The amp is just not pumping out enough wattage to drive those speakers resulting in a floppy muddy sound. So whatever you do, always remember to turn the amp off when you're finished using it or you'll be cursing on your way to the battery store. I'm able to get 2-3 hours of loud listening in before this happens though but I NEVER remember to turn it off so it might even get more. I recommend this backpack for sure.

ECBC Harpoon Daypack for 17-Inch Laptop (B7101-10) - Black

ECBC Harpoon Daypack for 17-Inch Laptop - BlackThis was reviewed on CNET so you should check out the detailed review there as they provide an array of pictures and features. Overall its a great bag. Very light weight and it holds quite a bit of stuff for how slim the profile is. I really like a lot of pockets and zippers for things and this bag doesn't disappoint in this way. More important, though, the pockets are large and spacious I don't like when every pocket provided in a bag is small or unusable. This bag does not have that. I got the grey bag for a change partly because the black was out of stock and also because I thoguht I would do something different. One note on the color the grey is much darker than it looks on the website. Closer to a darker grey than the light grey it looks like. Nice but different. The red stiching is nice and durable. It appears to be a very durable bag, I'll report back if that proves to be different.

Just the right size; just the right number of pockets; just the right fabric water proof; just the right stuff any way you measure it. I am a fan!!!

This bag is a must buy for any urban commuter travelling on public transit. It's slim form factor lets you navigate crowds with ease but you can still carry all your essentials with room to spare. I usually carry my 15" macbook, a packed lunch, kindle, charger, umbrella (for really rainy days) and there's still room left! Also, it's water proof so it gives you piece of mind when stowing expensive electronics. It may be a bit pricey but it seems like good quality material that will stand the test of time.

(13., Black)sumac Brand Black Carrying Sleeves for Apple Macbook 13.3-inch Macbook Pro 15.4-inch Ma

(13., Black)sumac Brand Black Carrying Sleeves for Apple Macbook 13.3-inch Macbook Pro 15.4-inch Macbook Air + SumacLife TM Wisdom Courage WristbandThe case is perfect for my Macbook. I can fit my USB mouse and my power cord in the front pocket with ease, and my Macbook fits snugly inside the larger pocket. I can throw it in my book bag and head out the door, confident that my Macbook (my favorite electronic in the house!) is safe and sound.

I purchases this product and to my dismay it doesn't not fit my new 13" Macbook. Worse, I had a horrible time trying to deal with bestpricecenter's customer service. They never clearly understood my issue and finally after numerous emails of them asking me if I wanted a 15" case or a 10" case for my 13" laptop, I gave up and decided to return the product. I will NEVER again purchase anything with bestpricecenter as the seller. Buyer beware.

The cover I received was all black, there was no silver lining around zippers, and the symbol was in white not red. Either way it was a great looking product. However, the case is not something I would call form fitting. I realize that neoprene stretches but this is like picking a cat up from the back of the neck. It's not awful and it always goes back to its original shape. Just, I would of preferred a case that was a good fit. There is a lip, on the zipper end, that can cup over the laptop to protect it from the zippers. That portion is a great feature. However, the zipper used for the pocket has me concerned that it might cause a dent. It's a bulky zipper like the other two, I wish they would of used more low profile zippers. Though, since it is not form fitting, the zipper will slide onto the side of the laptop, as long as it is on one end or the other. Either way this was not an expensive case, so I can't be too critical. For what it's worth, it's nice, and it will keep scratches away from your laptop. But if you use your laptop everywhere, I would look into to getting a more rugged case. A case that can really take shock, form fitting, and doesn't have zippers that can cause dents.

Cocoon CBP751BK Backpack, up to 17 inch laptop, 19.25 x 7.75 x 13.5 inch, Black

Cocoon CBP751BK Backpack, up to 17 inch laptop, 19.25 x 7.75 x 13.5 inch, BlackLooks very good, does not seem humongous, although very roomy. It easily fit my 17"apple laptop in an additional case, for protection. Plus, I can fit in my lunch, sport closes, my school papers, etc.

It comes with a very cool "grid it" organizer, where you can place all kinds of little things, that tend to get lost in your bag.

Zippers for phone and laptop are protected from water, but aren't very strong. I overstuffed it once, and zipper broke. It was not hard to fix it though.

The back pack has a year warranty, which I have not had a need to test yet.

One more great thing: It is perfect for traveling. The top handle fits snugly onto the roller bag handle, so you can roll it instead of carrying. Also if you put the bag vertically on your lap on the plane it makes a perfect nap pillow. :)

I adore the design of this bag. It fits my 17" pro no problem, has tons of flat-lying pockets, and is perfect for travel. The zipper pulls feel a little flimsy, but who's going to gripe about zipper pulls? Zippers themselves are great and this bag has held up well for a month+ now of normal use.

Merkury Innovations 15.6-Inch Reversible Notebook Case, Sunrise Gumball (MB-XL2GB)

Merkury Innovations 15.6-Inch Reversible Notebook Case, Sunrise GumballI love this sleeve! I get compliments on it all the time and it fits my Asus laptop with these measurements 15.60" x 10.60" x 1.20" 1.60", but it is a snug fit. Both patterns are very cute, do note that the designs are brown not black, which can be a little hard to see in the pictures.

I have a 15.6" HP Pavilion DV6-3259WM (14.88"x9.65"x1.37") and it slides around in this sleeve. Its obviously made for a bigger laptop. The only way to make it fit is to leave the styrofoam insert it was shipped with in with the computer, which is weird. I actually tried it on my 17.3" HP DV7-4272us (16.35"x10.8"x1.25"/1.46") and, although it's pretty snug, I would say it's more appropriate for the 17.3".

The material looks just like the picture and the stitching looks sturdy.

I lusted after this super cute case for a long time, and waited even longer for it to come into stock. Unfortunately, I recieved it June 1st and in less than 2 weeks the seams up by the flap, on both sides, started unraveling. It's been steadily falling apart ever since. Keep in mind that I RARELY use my laptop. For such minimal use, I'm very disappointed. Don't sacrifice quality for visual appeal. I will be buying one with a zipper closure next time.

Got it today in the mail. It's really pretty, colors are vibrant and good quality, but when I tried it on my laptop (HP Pavilion m6-1045dx) it's a little bit loose all around. I would love it if it's an inch smaller all around and thicker material. Most items sold here on Amazon (cases,decals,bags) aren't up to date yet with the slim laptops that have come out recently. I'm saying this coz if I had a regular sized, bulky 15inch laptop it would definitely have fit with the machine's thickness. But the past couple of months, ultrabooks and slim (lightweight) laptops are about an inch or two thinner than their predecessors, so it wouldn't fit the nice cases they have on here. I'm holding on to this for the next few days and will upload some pics, but I'm not sure if I'll keep it. =/

This case fits my 15" MacBook Pro perfectly and goes with my computer tote nicely. I bought mine at Wal-Mart, but the one here is cheaper. It's easier and faster to load than the Toscano Second Skin that I used before.

Booq Mamba Shift Backpack for 13-Inch to 17-Inch MacBook, Black/Red (MSHL-BLR)

Booq Mamba Shift Backpack for 13-Inch to 17-Inch MacBook, Black/RedI looked all over for the right backpack bag for both work around town and travel. I am a loyal TUMI owner, but hate their backpacks (too bulky, square, big). The booq bag is unique, stylish and very funcational. I can fit my 14" Lenovo laptop, ipad (in its case) and all the documents I need. The zippers on the sides of the bag can open part way or full, either works depending on what you need. Finding the right bag was really tough. This one covered all of my requirements (good looking, not going to be mistaken for a college student, hold a day to 2 days worth of stuff, free up my hands and shoulders). It has some negatives, but considering the limited options, I don't think they have been a huge issue. 1 the shoulder straps are very comfortable, but a little stiff and wide. As such they can dig into your chest a little. i am over 6' so its not too bad, but if you are really slight, they may not feel great. the phone case in the shoulder is cool, but very tight and hard to use. The side pouches need straps, elastics or something to hold a water bottle. I can squeeze one in there, but not anything over 12 oz(think airport water bottle for 3 hour flight). i wish they made them more versatile. The key FOB is great, but gets in the way. I wish it were either shorter or enclosed in one of the pouches. When keys are hanging on it I noticed it has a tendency to get in the way when I pull larger items out of the main compartment. Overall, its a great bag. The best I have found to be a cool work backpack bag that is sturdy and appropriate for a professional guy.

I had a chance to see and feel this backpack before ordering it through Amazon, and I love it.

I've been using it for 2 3 months and still strong and solid as new

All the little pockets makes it very convenient. Would buy it again

I just got this backpack and had a couple of trips with it.

Materials are very good as well as finishing, no regrets on purchasing so far...

My biggest concern when choosing a backpack was to have something that I could use for traveling and for work without the look of a high school backpack and that was definitely achieved by Booq.

I'll need to update this in the future when I had more time with it, but right now I would suggest this a a great item for both travel a d work.

I love this backpack there was a little learning curve on the weight, but once you get used to it its an amazing backpack. The only bad side is that you cant fit many things in it but if you are a light carier the go for it. I fit my MBP 15in with a case, a 1/2 binder, chargers, and 1 book. Great backpack do.

Marvle Spider-Sense Spiderman Rolling Backpack - kid size Spider-man Wheeled Backpack

Marvle Spider-Sense Spiderman Rolling Backpack - kid size Spider-man Wheeled BackpackThis backpack was much smaller than I expected. I don't think the stated dimensions are wrong, I just assumed that it was a more "traditional" size. A child the right size for this backpack is probably too young to care about Spiderman.

My grandson loved it. he is only 26 months and didn't say anything just smiled, smiled, smiled and smiled again.i

Kelty Cycle Hiker 18-Liter Pack

Kelty Cycle Hiker 18-Liter PackI could not be happier with this bag. The quality is superb and the style cannot be beat. There is not a single piece of plastic on this thing. It's waterproof and has tons of interior pockets. It's small enough to carry every day to work but it will still fit everything you need. I love it!

It was easy to order and it took even 7 days till i received it.

Good bargain. Every time again!

Thx

Buy Kelty Cycle Hiker 18-Liter Pack Now

Ordered this for my son for Christmas on his specific instructions. He is delighted with it. It is really well made particularly the way the straps are attached metal fittings so not likely to break any time soon! It is just the right size for his laptop and has loads of little compartments inside which he says are really useful for bits and pieces that he wants to get to quickly. He is at Uni at the moment and now uses it daily and when he travels home on the train. In the summer he is doing some travelling around and has already said that it will be ideal for that. One final thing it had to come from USA and I was amazed how quickly it arrived about 5 days after ordering it and that was in the run up to Christmas so all round excellent bag and service. Just read the other reviews and cannot understand the person who says that it is thin material our one was definately not!

Read Best Reviews of Kelty Cycle Hiker 18-Liter Pack Here

While attractive when full of soft materials that fill out its form, the bag does not keep any form at all and anything with edges deforms the outer shape so it doesn't look so good anymore.

The biggest issue to consider before buying this is that it is a thin sewn bag with backpack straps. Even the back of it is as thin as the front, NO PADDING to it.

It is at best a relatively functional backpack. I will say that I trust it's well made, and the materials and seam work will stand a solid test. If it is full of just the right amount of materials to give it its shape as seen in the picture, it of course looks great, and is comfortable to wear, just remember, it is not a backpack so much as a very thin cordura bag with straps. It was very shriveled looking when we took it out of the package. I got it for my wife, and we are pretty satisfied. I can't really see this design on a guy, it seems very much a WOMEN'S vintage. The off white is a very nice color, I'd say the color accuracy in the picture is spot on. It is so off-white that it is more a very light brown. Lovely colors, nice small detachable organizer inside, very small backpack, should have been made with thicker cordura, and just a little padding where the back touches.

Sandpiper of California Three Day Pass Backpack

Sandpiper of California Three Day Pass BackpackI got this bag as a Christmas gift. I had never heard of the company, but I really liked the design(for the most part). Mine is the Coyote Brown version and it's 600 denier cordura. The bag has 5 external pockets. Now, lets move to pro's and con's.

Pro's:

-Big enough, but not too big

-Great organization

-Good color (it's not faded or too dark)

-Comfy to wear on long(er) hikes.

-Attachment points on bottom make adding a sleeping bag/ tent easy!

Good stitching and construction

Con's:

-No side pockets or side MOLLE points

-Not YKK zippers

-compression straps only compress main pocket

Overall, I like this bag for air travel, overnight2 day hikes, 72hr. B.O.B, or for school (if you want it for that)

Great bag. I have used it everyday for nearly a year, but a few months ago the zippers started to break and open up on their own. Not cool when you are walking down the street! Otherwise a great product, but durable zippers would be needed for a 5 out of 5.

Buy Sandpiper of California Three Day Pass Backpack Now

So I purchased this backpack locally and it is such a great backpack, I decided to come on here and do a review for it.

Color: Black

Number of separate zipper compartments: 5 decreasing is size

Pros:

4 of the 5 pockets have an organizational system inside that keeps things nice and neat.

Main compartment has adjustable straps so you're not carrying so much stuff, you can reduce the size of the bag.

VERY VERY Comfortable to wear (I have back problems).

Carry handle on top can be used to carry the bag or hang it up on a hook.

Every adjustable strap has a piece of velcro on the end of it to tie up the excess straps so they aren't hanging out or flying around in the wind.

Extra padding on the bottom in case you set it down on something rough or wet.

Hydration system feed through at the top (could also be used for headphones).

Zippers appear to be great quality and durable.

Cons:

-The only thing I could complain about with this backpack is the fact that string is used for the zipper pulls. I have had three of the 9 strings come off the zippers in my had. Luckily they were in my hand and I was able to re tie them, otherwise, operating the zippers would be very difficult as there is no other pull besides the string. I retied them and it hasn't been a problem since though.

All in all, I would say this backpack is amazing. I use it now to hold all my computer repair stuff when I do work on site. I would definitly, 100% recommend you buy this product if you are thinking about it. This is top quality and should last a very, very long time.

I finally decided that the idea of a "laptop" bag is obsolete, when I don't carry or need laptop padding (I use a sleeve, and don't always carry my laptop), so I picked one of these up at an AAFES store so far I am digging it! The black is 600 denier cordura vs. 1000 is fine for me (not like I'm going down range or anything, and I wouldn't feel right about carrying cammo). It's lighter and bigger than what I was carrying, and the shoulder straps are long enough to fit me (6-7, 275#). I also can see the zipper ties already coming off, but they are easy to re-tie, and it would be cool if there was a water bottle holder (or side mounting point for one)

Want Sandpiper of California Three Day Pass Backpack Discount?

This bag gets a 5-star rating for the roomyness and the fact it does not have a laptop slot in the main compartment. I bought this as a flight bag (pilot) for 1-3 day trips. The material is not quite as robust as I was expecting (I am used to Tumi and Victorinox ballistic nylon), but I also did not pay that price :)

I was also not entirely impressed with the zipper quality, but it is something I can live with. Already proven to be waterproof in a decent rain storm.

I can tell it will hold up for a while, but not sure I will get many years out of it. But, at $50, I am happy to buy another one when needed.

Ben Bat GoVinci 3-in-1 Toddler Backpack

GoVinci Backpack, GreenMy daughter, who is in kindergarten loves this backpack. I think it's a great idea. Only needs a few areas tweaked to make it perfect. The zippers are kind of tough to unzip. It doesn't zip open or closed smoothly. You need to kind of tug it a bit because the backpack is hard plastic, not like regular backpacks. The drawing area is a great idea except that the size is not a standard paper size. It's smaller than 8X11 but larger than half that size, so you would have to fold the paper in half or cut it to size. Other than that, I think it's a wonderful idea for kids who love to draw.

Purchased this item as a gift for a 3yr old. It's very cute and different than any other backpack out on the market. It's very roomy with multiple pockets for crayons, markers, paper and like the video, a small stuffed toy or doll and much more.My 4 yr old insists I buy her one for her birthday.
