Fantastic build and feel,
After owning 3 messenger bags for my laptop and books, and having each one wear out in some (major) way after about a year/year-and-a-half, I chose to finally bite the bullet and get a laptop backpack. This one seemed to be at a excellent price ($35), and the reviews were nearly glowing with enthusiasm and praise, so I went for it.
The first thing I noticed when it came was that the picture online is a bit deceptive in that it makes it seem very small; this was not really the case on my smallish 5’8″ frame. So it is a bit larger than I had expected, but because of that it holds a lot… and I mean… A LOT. After using it for a week now, I can say that the two strongest pluses are that it’s built like a veritable tank (I’ve never seen such quality nylon before!), and it is designed in such a way that, even fully loaded, it disperses the weight well, and puts minimal pressure on your shoulders. Very excellent for the back.
All in all, I’m very pleased so far. This bag lives up to the reviews, and I hope that it will last a long, long time for me.

I just returned yesterday from my first trip with this backpack. Over one week, I took this bag on 6 plane trips, 2 bus rides, 1 taxi ride, 1 shuttle ride, and multiple car rides. I can say that it is certainly worth its price… and then some. It’s ridiculously durable (and comfortable!), and with a 3-year warranty, I don’t reckon you could go incorrect with this bag. A certain must-have for those on the go! Highly recommended.

Still loving this backpack, but I thought it would be excellent if I mentioned one downside that I hadn’t expected. I had it out the other day in a heavy rain for the first time. I wasn’t really out in the rain that long, but it was evident that this bag isn’t very water proof. A book and some papers got honestly wet, and I’m glad that my laptop wasn’t in there at the time.

|Best Laptop Backpack Thus Far…,
For the price, this laptop cannot be beat. Sure, I wouldn’t buy this laptop backpack if it were being sold for what it was originally listed at ($170 USD), but that was BEFORE I had a chance to use it.
Today, I would buy this backpack whether it is around the 30 dollar mark or the past 100 dollar mark. Why? If fits very snugly with a conventional laptop or ultraportable (I have not yet tested it on a 17 inch widescreen yet, but), all the while being able to place in a number of items including bulky items such as document folders and even multiple textbooks. It does this all without putting too much strain on the laptop, and is easily adjustable to be set correctly on the user’s back without harming alignment due to pressure at the incorrect point.
The easily accessible cell phone holder located on the backpack right strap is just gravy on top of all of the exquisite features offered by this fine product.
Buy this product. You will NOT be disappointed.

|Fantastic Bag,
This is a quality product, it was bought for my Toshiba 15.4, it offers excellent protection, and has lots of storage space, that would be tons of storage space, i carry an extra key board, wireless mouse, external hard drive (Toshiba of course), all the documentation for the laptop, my PDA, camera… as i said lots of space. Quality product, offers space, protection and its comfortable to walk around with. the reason i bought this type of bag is because it is less conspicious than the generic type bag, it can be left in a car and is less likely that your car will be broken into because of the bag. excellent product i strongly recommend.
