Kensington SaddleBag Notebook Carrying Case (Black) (64079)

I've travelled nearly 250,000 miles with my laptops, papers, accessories, etc in one of these, and it's proven itself up to the task.

The front pocket is useful for storing business cards, O'Reilly pocket guides, passport(s), tickets, etc. for easy access. The large main pocket has a padded space for a laptop (my Dell fits it either way around) and on my model has 4 dividers that are useful for keeping CD cases and cables disentangled. The shoulder straps / backpack straps can be detached and/or hidden inside the case for a more professional look (though if I needed to care more about presentation I would probably have a regualar briefcase)

After 2 1/2 years of constant use the padding in the shoulder straps is starting to become compressed, and there are some tears on the vinyl inside, but give how much use I've made of this backpack this is probably normal wear and tear.

I bought this product because I'm impressed with the feature it has, and as a customer support engineer I need the computer case that has a professional look at the customer place but should be comfortable enough to carry on the street. Most of the time I carry it as a backpack. But it's not tough as it should be. It last only 1 month and the inner side between the padded computer compartment began to tear. Because it has a lifetime warranty, I went back to the shop and got a new one. After a month plus the inner side (I will say it as a weakness) starting to tear again and then I will go back to the shop to replace it.

This is by far the most convenient, comfortable bag in the universe. I've carried it as a backpack, carried it over the shoulder, and also held it by the wonderfully padded handle. My school gave me a backpack bag for free, but I just can't tear myself away from my Saddlebag!

The downside is that there seem to be different versions (besides the colors). I bought one for my wife and after looking at it, I just had to get one for myself, too (and so did her partner, who says that he smiles every time he uses it). Mine gave me a little trouble, though. Within a few weeks, something weird happened with the zipper in the front (the leatherette tag came off and there were two broken prongs sticking out). This might have been my fault--I might have snagged it on something. Then the handle started getting a little "lumpy."

I called Kensington and they offered to replace it under the lifetime warranty. They will send one to me and then I can send them the old one (only paying postage one way). They confirmed that the bag was redesigned some months ago but the same product number was carried over. The list price was also reduced significantly, the suede bottom was replaced with rugged vinyl, and some file dividers were eliminated in the redesign process, but I don't think the quality difference is anything to be concerned about.

I looked carefully at the handle and it seems that a component has shifted to the side, making it lumpy. It might be possible to shift it back without too much trouble, but because they are replacing it, I'm reluctant to mess with it.

As a result of their great service, I've just bought one for my daughter as she heads off to college.

This is easily the best laptop bag I've ever had. I have carried it around the world easily more than 20 times and it is only just now showing wear. I would never buy a different one. It's light, has a secret pouch that holds cards, money, anything perfectly safely, impossible to slip a laptop out of surreptitiously, has dozens of places to put stuff--I have my routine down pat and have even used it as a pillow on long flights.

I really hope they don't stop making this bag.
