BUILT MX Slim Sleeve - Fits 15" MacBook Pro & 15" MacBook Pro w/ Retina Display
Contemporary design is a +.Would b better if Built NY would go 4 the rubber grill 4 both sides. No false advertising there, pics clearly show the grill is only on 1 side, standard neoprene 4 the other. Just a wish. Like this sleeve a lot.
I got this one because it would ship quick, and I liked how the front mesh made it look non-generic but seemed to fit with the look of the laptop.
That's all good, but for one thing: The front mesh and the "BUILT" label are rubber and they stick to your bag or other things in your bag when you try to slide this out elegantly. The logo tag is on the bottom and sticks out a minimum 1/8th inch, and is loose enough to get snagged on anything in it's path as it slides out of your bag. A 15" MPB has a pretty large footprint, so chances are that if you're sliding this in or out of a backpack or other bag you've got a tight fit already.
The idea for the mesh is a good one. Built needs to come up with a more slippery coating for it. The juice doesn't justify the squeeze, for me, and this will get used for the very rare times I transport my older-generation MBP.

Sherpani Tre Medium Shoulder Bag
LOVE this bag. I can tell a lot of thought went into each feature. It's the perfect size and shape for workit carries all the usual stuff (phone, keys, wallet etc.) and still has room for a hardcover, lunch, or even shoes. The interior drink pouch is genius, and I like the zippered pockets to keep my ipod and work badge secure. The covered-but-accessible pockets are perfect for a phone, so I can grab it quickly without having to dig. Love the magnetic closure so I don;t have to worry about always making sure it is closed. My one very minor gripe is the elastic closure with a hook can't be undone with one handnot very convenient when you need to get out your keys with a drink in one hand. But otherwise, a perfect bag that's a little bigger then a purse, but smaller than a messenger bag.

I discovered new feature after new feature the first three or four times I used this bag, each time to much joy & excitement.There are a total of four zipper compartments: (1) the main compartment, which is large enough to fit a spiral notebook, (2) a small pocket within the main compartment for a wallet, bag of tissues, or other small items, (3) the pocket you see on the outside of the bag, perfect for holding a cell phone, and (4) a pretty sizable "secondary" pocket that I usually use for a small jar of Vaseline, lip balm, and other small items that would otherwise get lost at the bottom of the bag.
On top of these compartments, there are also 4 "pockets, each of which is large enough to fit my very fat clutch wallet, an oversized pair of sunglasses, or whatever else you might need. I wouldn't recommend overstuffing each and every single pocket, though, as it may be difficult to close the bag afterwards. Two of these pockets are inside the zippered main compartment; two are just outside it for easier access but still protected from pickpockets by the "messenger bag" flap.
There's also a drawstring pocket for a water bottle and a keychain ring on the inside of the main pocket.
I've been using this bag pretty much every day since I got it a few weeks ago, and I love it so much that I had to get a second one for my grandma, who loves her bags with lots of pockets and zippers.

First of all, the bag that I received was not the model that was described. The differences are... the flap closes with a metal buckle like closure, not the hook and loop that is pictured and describes. Also, there are no magnets on the flap as described. I was a little disappointed by this as I liked that feature, but I think the buckle is likely easier to open than the hook and loop would have been. Also, there is no interior water bottle holder as was described. To me this wasn't a deal breaker, because I probably wouldn't have used that feature anyway.Now to what I like about the bag. First the size is great. I wanted the messenger look but I didn't want it to look like I was carrying a school bag around as a purse. This bag is the perfect size for me. It has that messenger look but is very petite. I love the black because it goes with everything. I usually wear casual clothes but I can still wear this to church without looking odd as I think a regular messenger would look.
I can fit my purse essentials very easily as well as my iPAD with a case on it but it is a bit of a tight fit height wise. But I can get the flap closed. I'm sure that without the case it would fit fine, but there is no pocket for it so I wouldn't recommend that because you are likely to get scratches from the rest of your contents... The zipper portion on the front will not fit my iPHONE 5 with it's case on. I think my iPHONE 4 might have fit, but the 5 is just a bit too long. The pockets just under the flap are perfect for my iPHONE 5 though. There are two and then on the inside there are two more pockets as well as a zippered pocket, the rest of the interior is open. There is also a mesh pocket on the outside side of the bag that would fit a water bottle if you chose to carry one. Finally the bag is very light which was an important factor for me as I have neck problems. All-in-all I think it is a very nice bag, well made and durable. Happy with my purchase.

I had seen this bag in a retail store and was excited to find it on Amazon for a lower price. Unfortunately the bag that I received did not have the interior water bottle holder as I had seen in the store, even though the description on Amazon stated that it had this feature.So disappointed that I will have to return it.

Ju-Ju-Be B.F.F. Diaper Bag
I didn't realize how OCD I was about organizing until I started diaper bag shopping!! I purchased so many bags over the past few years and I had issues with all of them not fitting my specific needs: either not enough compartments, or if there were compartmentsthey weren't usable sizesor they were designed to where if you actually use the pockets then one pocket would block anotherOR the diaper bags didn't have an appropriate closure, or they toppled over rather than standing-you get the picture!Since being blessed with baby # 2 (now with a toddler and a newborn) I needed a better bag and I started my search for the perfect diaper bag all over again... but this time I happened upon the BFF and I fell in LOVE (actually I am in love with a LOT of Ju Ju Be bags, but this is my FAVORITE)!
All the good things:
* Gusseted pockets! The main compartment opens so ingeniouslyyou can see what you have and GET to anything on the very bottom without pulling everything out, or clumsily knocking items out of the bag!
* The fabric is stain resistant, teflon coated, microbial treated, and MACHINE washable!
* Lots of pockets, usable sizes, some zippered, some open, and also a large open space in the middle for awkward shaped things
* Quality metal hardware everywhere (no cheap plastic stuff): zipper pulls, d-rings, buckles, and the zipper itself is super smooth
* METAL FEET (seems so obvious, but so many diaper bags don't have themGROSS!)
* LOVE the 2 photo pocketsvery cool (my hubby also pointed out a practical yet scary benefitgood to have in the case of the un-thinkable like losing a child in public)canNOT imagine thatmakes my head hurt typing that, sorry.
* 3-way carry style (top handle, shoulder/messenger, or backpack) with fully adjustable, padded strapscool I have choices!
* 2 Thinsulate lined bottle pockets on the outside (they are not SUPER insulated, since they are not "sealed-all-the-way-around" the bottle) but do the trick at keeping things from getting hot so fast)
* Mommy pocket is well designed for today's things (can fit an iphone, reading/sunglasses, wallet, keys, lipstick, pills, and more misc)no need to dig through the kids' things to get to mine quickly and no need to carry a separate purse!
* Since there are no magnetic closures anywhere on the bag, all of my electronic devices are SAFE!!
* Love the fleece lined pocket (and placement)perfect for my slim camera, or anything else I want to protect from scratches/dings (expensive glasses)and the pocket placement is high on the bagso it is not battling the lower/full part of the bag (like not pressing against items on the inside of the main compartmentgenius)
* Can't forget the key scrunchythat is SUPER helpful! I can move my keys out of the way, to get to other things in the mommy pocket without setting them on the counter (no more losing my keys) they just hang from the pocket AND anytime I need my keys from the bagNO more diggingI pull the string!
* Memory-foam padded changing pad included-memory foam? yep, squishy and comfy! Huge lifesaver in places with super hard surfaces (like the wooden shelves on planes or the marble counter top area at Disney)!!
Now for the one disappointment:
Just like other reviews have noted:
The original design of the backpack straps were set too low on the bag which makes the bag (when worn backpack style) sag, droop and is too uncomfortable to actually wear-but that problem was rectified in 2011 made ones-but nobody advertises which model you will receive.
I ordered 2 BFF's (in 2 different prints) and crossed my fingers hoping I would receive the newer style.
I ordered Sangria Sunset from Amazon and Shadow Waltz from Little Dudes and Divas
I received:
Sangria Sunset OLD style, Shadow Waltz NEW style
Much afterwards, I learned that most retailers will happily check their stock for you if you ask so I would definitely suggest doing that.
Second thing I learned is that 2 prints (Sangria Sunset and Dizzy Daisies) are NOT made in the new style AT ALL because these prints are being discontinued (at least in the BFF, not sure if they will use the prints on other bags). I am bummed I can't attain one with the 'fixes' in that print (you can find this info in the ju-ju-be forum Pink Room).
Truthfully I had no idea that I would even use the BP feature, until I received the Shadow Waltz one and had the option of throwing on my back-WOW that is nicehands freeand I didn't realize how lop-sided I feel carrying a heavy bag on one shoulder tote style!
So with my Sangria Sunset one, this problem takes away ONE cool feature of the otherwise totally awesome bag. Since I cannot carry it BP style with the weight distribution causing instant back strain/discomfortI removed the B/P straps (since they are useless) but I decided to keep the bag since it is cute but mostly because it looks good with my stroller (the orange/grey city mini doublewhich is a hard one to match). Honestly, it will probably always bug me a little that my Sangria Sunset one is less than perfectand I do miss the B/P feature on it. If there was any other print that looked as cute with my stroller (with the fixes)I would exchange it in a second!
Sorry for the super lengthy/detailed review, but I hope it helps anyone that is considering this bag to know the features and other info. I have MANY different Ju Ju Be bags, and although I love them all, this is my favorite as my everyday diaper bag. It holds all of my needs for my newborn and toddler for the day.
On longer days/trips, although I considered the BePrepared, I felt it was WAY too big/heavy (when full) to actually carry (without my hubby) so I found the MightyBe to be a GREAT companion to the BFF. The MB is great for handling the "extras" (my DSLR, extra drinks, and 3 sweatshirts (me and 2 kids), coloring books/doodle boardyep in one load) for long days at Disney or long days in general. To my surprise it is easy to carry BOTH bags when I need to (BFF backpack style, MightyBe on my shoulder/tote style) although I haven't had to do it for long distances, since I attach both to the stroller for the most part. So I highly suggest picking up both bags which will give you so much flexibility, plus the MB folds TINY and FLAT which makes it cool to take with you empty and grab all of your loose goodies from the car when you get home! BFF + Mighty Be = Match made in heaven!!
Other bags I purchased for extra organizationto go INSIDE my BFF/MightyBE's are the: Fuel Cell, Be Quick, and Be Setthey are fabulousand they make my bags uber-organized!
I only wish I would have met my BFF sooner!
Otherwise a very good messenger bag. It's not too big or too small and has tons of pockets.
I am thinking about taking this bag to a tayler and has it altered by repositioning the top rings as high as possible. But that is going to cost extra $ for an expensive bag already!
Buy Ju-Ju-Be B.F.F. Diaper Bag Now
I love this diaper bag! For months I stubbornly believed that any diaper bag would do, so was using a basic, cheap bag for months. I finally got sick of not being able to find things and decided to look for a new bag. I love this bag and it has made life so much easier. We ordered the cobalt blossoms print, which came with the newer style backpack straps, so it works well as a backpack (straps connect at the top of the bag, just below the handle). The print is very cute, and I receive a lot of compliments. Sometimes the white does get a little dirty, but with the bag being machine washable it has not been an issue. Here is a basic overview of my thoughts on the bag:Pros:
Mommy pocket has lots of room and pockets. 1 zippered pocket, 2 open pockets, sunglasses holder, key holder. I can fit 2 packs of gum, a small kleenex box, my full sized wallet, keys, cell phone (galaxy nexus), granola bar, few personal items.
zippered front pocket holds my small sony camera and flip camcorder. It is a soft pocket that keeps things protected
Main compartment has 4 open pockets (2 on each side, 2 at the back), and 3 zippered pockets (1 at the front, 2 at the back behind the open pockets), plus the clear pockets for pictures. Currently I have the nursing cover, 4 size 2 diapers, 2 burp cloths, 1 8-oz bottle of formula, 2 bibs, a 9-month onesie, a package of disposable dirty diaper bags (those dog-poop-like bags to hold dirty diapers), 4 small toys, and a snack container in the main compartment. I still have some extra room and can fit in a itzy-ritzy snack happens bag filled with a gerber NUK baby bowl (covered), spoon and banana.
2 insulated side pockets. I usually have a bottle on one side and a sippy cup on the other
back pocket holds the changing pad, wipe holder, disposable changing pad. I can fit more if I don't mind the pocket bulging out.
Easy to carry, fits in the basket of my chicco stroller with room to spare.
Cons:
Insulated side pockets are a little tight I need 2 hands to get the sippy cup in. Kind of annoying, but probably better than the cup falling out.
Changing pad is small about 12" wide by 21" long. It is nice and padded, but if I try to change my wiggly 7 month old on it, chances are his butt is no where near it. I usually end up putting a disposable changing pad down, and using the ju ju be changing pad as a pillow.

I AGONIZED whether to get the BFF or Be Prepared. I ended up getting both and returning the Be Prepared. Here's the deal ladies. The BFF is a little smaller than you think, and the Be Prepared is a little bigger than you think. So you have to make a choice -do you want a super cute bag that you'll want to take with you everywhere and is not a pain to lug around, but you'll be forced to pack a tiny bit lighter than you might like? OR do you want a bag where you can throw in your every whim, but it'll be heavy and look a little awkward as a messenger bag. I ultimately decided that if I got the Be Prepared, I'd probably end up wanting to leave it in the car or throw just what I need into the stroller, thus defeating the whole purpose of having everything you could possibly need with you. So I went with the BFF and I have to say I am so happy! My husband even likes it. Some of my favorite features are the handle on top, the strap (it stays put!) and the changing pad it's not too bulky just right. At first I wasn't a huge fan of the prints but now I'm loving my "fun bag" and embracing the crazineses of it (I have royal envy). The neon green inside doesn't even bother me. Now if you have multiples or cloth diapers, you will want to go with the Be Prepared .. just make sure you have a nice hubby who will carry it for you. (And get his input on the print!) :-) I hope this was helpful. I read every review/video on the planet about these bags.Want Ju-Ju-Be B.F.F. Diaper Bag Discount?
I'm a new mommy and also a bag-aholic. I love bags and Ju-Ju-Be is perfect for the bag lover in me. Not only do they have great products, but the prints are beautiful! I wish I could afford to buy a bag in every print! My friend who is also a bag lover also has quite a few different JJBs and love them all. She highly recommended them to me.The BFF is my everyday bag and it has been great so far. I cloth diaper and am able to fit 3-5 cloth diapers (I use prefolds or pockets), wipes, a wet bag, a couple changes of clothes, a formula dispenser (can't BF, so formula feeding baby), a couple burp cloths, and a few other little items in the pockets. I keep bottles in each of the two outside pockets. I like the Mommy pocket, but it isn't very roomy. I had to get a smaller wallet because my old one was too large. It does have a nice spot for a cell phone, sunglasses, and other little items. If you are like me and have gotten used to carrying a large purse, this doesn't quite cut it. I've had to cut back on what I carry with me. I don't want to carry a diaper bag and a purse both.
I have already gotten compliments on the bag while out and about at a baseball game. As it was being checked for "contraband," the worker commented that it was a very cool bag. My husband thinks it might be a little too girly for him, but he is willing to carry it anyway.
I also own a few other JJB products including the paci-pod, BeLight, PackABe, BePrepared, and a couple others. So far, the BFF is my favorite. The BePrepared is also awesome, but too big for daily use. I use that one for traveling.

Marware Sportfolio 13" MacBook Case Blue
I wanted a carrier for my Mac that was versatile, not bulky and inexpensive. I have all of this and more with this carrier. The zipper portion is covered so that it won't scratch the laptop. The neoprene material keeps it protected, without the bulk. It has an outside zippered side pocket that holds my adapters, mouse and airline adapter. It is roomy enough for everything, yet fits in my business case nicely. It even has handles and a shoulder strap for when I want to carry it seperately from my business case. I would highly recommend this item!
The only problem I have with it is the strong odor. It smells horrible! Very strong vinyl smell that took months to disipate. I actually left it outside for about 8 weeks before I could bring it in the house.
If you are sensitive to odorsdon't buy this case.

I bought this case for my new 13" Macbook. It's neoprene construction and soft interior are gentle for the exterior make of my laptop. It you are looking for a sleeve, or "lug around" to take your macbook to work or school I highly recommend this case. The strap is very comfortable and feel the extra cushioning on the shoulder make it a little easier to carry around. Of course this case isn't for those who do a lot of intensive traveling. It's more for people who just want light protection for the general places they go. I also really enjoyed the color as it is very vibrant and doesn't look like every other case out there. It's very modern looking too. As for the smell...it is a little strong at first. But, it wears off after a few uses. It doesn't smell at all that bad--just like a new product that needs to be broken in. I love this case.

Baby Sherpa Diaper Backpack
Stay-at-home dad here, looking for something a little more macho than the typical diaper bag. I arrived at the Baby Sherpa 4-in-1 Diaper Backpack a little late, as I have two toddlers rather than say, a single infant. However, given the company boasts how much that this bag can hold and how well it is designed to allow it to hold more just because of better design, I thought I would do well with this for toddlers because the bulky diapers are gone, so that leaves more room for a change of cloths, larger food items and juice cups, some of my things, etc., right? Wrong.First of all, this backpack is WAY too compartmentalized. I was doing better using the large beach style bag that I bought from Target. The main compartment is a useless size, mostly because it's divided up into three separate compartments that are each too small to be useful. The write-up boasts that this backpack has a medical kit compartment, compartments for glasses, palm pilots, cell phones, wallets, etc. Can someone tell me where all these pockets are, because I just couldn't find them. The main compartment could hold my wallet, Palm device, and cellphone, but that's about all it could hold then. The two separate zipper compartments on the side that seem to be where they think you're putting your cellphone, wallet, Palm Pilot, and glasses are very strange shapes that could maybe hold a single pair of sunglasses or a very small cellphone, but they could not hold my wallet, and definitely could not hold a woman's wallet. They surely cannot hold all of the items they mentioned. These pockets are also not padded at all, so putting your personal electronics in this pockets (which stick out like ears on either side of the backpack) would be very risky for damage. I use a small sandwich sized tupperware container for a simple medical kit. If you put that in the main compartment, you're just about done when it come to room. This is the first time I've encountered the situation where a bag actually is SMALLER on the inside than it looks like it would be looking at the outside! Usually, you're telling the opposite story about a backpack or other piece of luggage.
The much touted built-in cooler looks like it could do a pretty good job, but expect to get a wet posterior, as there is a drain hole on the bottom of the diaper bag right over your rear end. Even just sweat from a few chilled juice cups are going to leave a nice wet spot in a very improper place. Actually, that drain hole has a metal grommet around it. My backpack arrived with the material around that grommet torn away and frayed. I'm pretty handy, but about the only way that could be repaired is to install a new, larger grommet. Not something I care to have to do for a brand new $90 backpack before I ever use it for the first time! I'd be more tempted to seal that hole to avoid a wet butt.
Also, don't expect your $90 backpack to arrive with much fanfare. Mine was shipped to me in a simple clear plastic bag, loosely "sealed" by folding the bag over and sticking on one piece of clear tape. A small tag was attached to one of the carabiners, and a very crumpled "tips sheet" was stuck in the outside compartment. No warranty card, no documentation, not even a 1/2 box or anything close to retail packaging. The "shipping container" was nothing more than yet another plastic bag with a UPS label on it. For the better part of $100, I'd have to say that, yes, I expected it to be shipped in a box.
I have to say that for all the hype, this was an extreme disappointment. All the professional reviews and advertisements basically state that this diaper backpack is the end-all, be-all solution. In my opinion, it is far from a solution for anyone. I don't think it would've been useful even when I only had one infant. I also have two older teenagers, and I have to say that they have purchased better backpacks for school each year for $25 than this $90 Baby Sherpa. One year the older kids ended up with $25 backpacks that were not only better designed, but weren't damaged, had more real room in them, and came with a free, insulated lunchbox that attached to the bottom of the backpack, giving it a really nice, one-piece look. I wish I could find one of those, as I would just use it, be happier, and at almost 1/4 of the total price of a Baby Sherpa.
Save your money, and shop around in the normal backpack area of Wal-Mart, Target, etc. I think this has to be the most overated product that I've been suckered into buying in a very, very long time. Even if it was $25, I don't think I could recommend it to anyone because of how compartmentalized it is. the rest of the bag seemed to be a nice quality build, but the torn grommet is cause for concern, and another review here reports of a torn seam. So, if your $90 isn't getting you neither a better design nor better quality, what is it getting you? Correct answer: A smaller wallet that will fit in the tiny side pocket of a Baby Sherpa that you regret buying!
Besides having a bad design, the quality of the Baby Sherpa is poor. The inner seam on ours came apart after only using it over a 9 month timeframe on an infrequent basis. When we contacted the company they sent an email implying that we had misused the bag in some way to cause the seam to come apart. To get it fixed, we would have to pay for shipping. We will not bother repairing this bag before we throw it in the trash. We have many other back packs that have been used for years that never had a problem like this. We recommend that you buy something for $25 rather than waste $100 on a piece of crap like this.

I bought this because I made my own baby food, and needed something to it keep cool. It worked great for about the first month, then seemed to fall apart. The stitching came apart on one of the buckles on the shoulder straps; that ended up coming apart. And the seem came apart on the back of the back pack. I wasn't rough with it, and used it as a 'normal' baby bag. It seemed like it was made cheap, and not what I expected for a $75 product. The idea and the function of the back pack is great, but the quality is poor. I ended up returning it.Read Best Reviews of Baby Sherpa Diaper Backpack Here
I was excited about ordering this bag, but after reading the reviews I was a little hesitant. My brother had this bag for 8 years. Well I should have listened to the reviews. The quality of the materials used have noticeably gone down hill since my brother bought his. On the one I ordered, less then a months use, the inner divider seam completely unraveled. It was big enough to carry everything I needed and then some. So, it wasn't stuffed or over packed. I am extremely disappointed, because the style of the bag was perfect for my needs. I returned it with no problem.Want Baby Sherpa Diaper Backpack Discount?
I had purchased a Baby Sherpa Short Haul six years ago when my first child was born and we used the life out of that bag. It was perfect for us, but after so many years of heavy use (and baby #4 arriving), I decided to order the bigger Baby Sherpa. WOW, what a difference in the two bags. The materials on the new bag are absolute garbage! It feels like a cheap knock-off that you'd buy at a flea market. The diaper changing mat is also made of a cheaper material and I don't envision it holding up well with two kids in diapers. I really wanted to love this bag, since our other one served us so well...what a shame that this manufacturer has chosen to source cheaper materials. I'll most likely be contacting them directly to see about a refund. What a disappointment!

I have to admit that I'm writing this review and I've never used the product. It's been 50 years since I was in grade school. But, if giving this backpack as a gift to your 6 year old granddaughter and seeing the smile on her face and the twinkle in her eyes is worth anything, then I'd say this was a 5 star backpack.She's had it now for about 2 weeks and has showed it off to all of her little friends at school. She's still thrilled with it, and has pointed out to her grandmother that all she needs now is the thermos that fits in the thermos bottle loops inside the pack. I didn't even know it had a place for a thermos.

Buy Dakine 25-Litre Campus Pack Now
I was a bit surprised at how few pockets this thing had. It's great if you're storing lots of very thin objects, but if you want room for even a couple of thick/wide items, you might want to move up a size.Starting from the top most zipper and going down:
Main pocket with a laptop sleeve (13" fits fine), extends to the bottom of the backpack. About as much room as one would expect.
Tiny little pocket with some sort of felt lining for sunglasses. Not much room for anything but sunglasses. The material it is lined with makes it weird to put anything else in there.
Secondary pocket with a smaller zipper-pocket inside. I would have expected this pocket to extend to the bottom of the backpack, but it is only about 6 inches deep. There is not a whole lot of room in this pocket at all, really. It is good for organizing lots of small objects, however.
Sandwich pocket lined with a thin insulation material to retain temperature. Has far more space than the secondary pocket vertically and horizontally. pretty good pocket overall.
I would have been far happier with this product if the secondary pocket extended to the bottom of the backpack. I can see no reason for it not to. I was hoping to keep a portable umbrella in that pocket vertically, but it will not even come close to fitting. That is my only complaint.

Pros:More than sufficient storage (pockets & so forth), fits securely over luggage handles for easy airport maneuvering, security fast pass does as advertised, bag tracking system (aka SwissTracker for lost luggage, not tested, included in sale price) is a great idea.
Cons:
No major issues.
Other Thoughts:
-Main compartment seems poorly equipped to store a change of clothing (which I always carry in my carry-on).
-Do not expect a bunch of peripherals (extra storage for non-business items, pockets with no specific function, gimmicks, etc.) this is a lean, mean, professional traveler machine.
-Security FastPass works best in high volume airports (where the security staff knows what it is): you will still have to remove your electronic devices if the security staff fails to recognize the innovation.
This bag is one of the first I've come across specifically for the mobile laptop carrying professional. It is easy to load up with too much of your crap, but overall is quite elegant.
The best feature: TSA compartment that isn't bulky and LOCKABLE. I've seen laptops stolen while in line at the airport, just sitting in a bin while the unfortunate owners are getting felt up by TSA Security. I've personally had 2 laptops stolen and when locked you definitely want zippers like these which can't be broken into. Victorinox has excellent theft proof zippers.
The Big Ben has a lot of compartments sealed by zippers. To be honest, it is more storage than any of the other bags out there. I'd compare it in space to the Executive 15. The problem: I'm anal retentive, fidgeting in the airport and opening and closing compartments all the time right before boarding. I feel like I have zipper OCD, like the bag belongs at NASA and is like a series of mission critical airlocks. So for me, the magnetic pouch in the front is perfect for the thing I use most: my pen!
The storage is pretty nice, although I'll be honest, I've had my stuff spill out of it while at home and in the hotel. So despite all those NASA-grade zippers, you still end up with your bag's contents all over the floor. Not cool. One major reason I dislike the bag is that the pockets are based on the Architecture Series, instead of the Professional Werks collection. I wish Victorinox would send me an updated bag, for all of the bags I've purchased through them in the past few years!
I find there's enough for my Lenovo W530, which is just over 6lb. It has a fairly large 170W power supply, which does seem to fit OK. I can definitely fit my iPad, Kindle, a few magazines, a rain jacket in here, as well as a small notebook.
One of the main reasons I like the Professional Werks is that it has excellent built-in storage. Not so here, so I use a cable bag from Waterfield Designs. The plus of the Werks collection is that they're standardized no matter which bag you use, you'll always have your pockets in exactly the same spot! With a cable bag, I don't have to memorize where I put things, or more importantly have to relearn how to pack.
As for the laptop protection, I wish Victorinox would start padding the TSA pouch with a bit of foam and neoprene. Seriously, it would be great to think of it as a sleeve. To be honest, I've seen my laptop corners dinged up and cracked on all of their bags. And yes, I am known for beating the crap out my stuff. I guess that's why I bought a bag that is damn expensive in first place (i.e. not a throw away).
As for carrying the bag around the office, I find some narrow hallways and elevators I end up walking into people. I'm a bit of a clutz and with 15lb on my back I'm like a bull in a china shop. I'd say the bag has slightly TOO MUCH storage where you can easily overload it if you want to.
The straps are pretty comfortable. And the bag fits well on my shoulders. I pulled one of them a few years ago and it is important if I'm carrying a heavy bag that my shoulder injury isn't aggravated. I like there's padding on the back, which also can slide over my wheeled roller (an Avolve 22).
One thing I liked from my climbing backpack is that between the shoulder straps there's another strap to bridge the weight between the two. I found this feature lacking and would have been nice when fully loaded and walking around new cities, as I occasionally do when mixing business with pleasure.
Perhaps the thing I like most is the mesh pouch. That's where I hide my drugs, I mean my plastic bag with the TSA 3-1-1. I need something that is easy to access in 3 seconds and this works well.
Probably a bit frustrating is that I haven't found a dedicated pouch just for my iPhone, charger, wallet, phone, headphones (Shure) and keys. That's what I use all the time and like I referred to before, it is a pain to open all those NASA-grade zippers to get your crap right before boarding a plane.
Overall, I highly recommend the bag. For a revision, make a bag with easier pockets management, better laptop padding and slightly smaller so I'm not tempted to overload. Definitely take into account the design of the Professional Werks collection, I like that series a lot better.
Given the thought into writing the review, and the fact I own several Victorinox, it would be awesome to acknowledge their customers with access to new products or some kind of loyalty program. I think their Swiss Tracking is a neat feature that I like a lot!

A solidly constructed well designed backpack. It has a place for everything I need. The only drawback that kept this rating from being a 5 is that it doesn't stand up on its own, as the Tumi version does. I would still buy it again tomorrow.Quality is great! you only need one hand to unzip it? This his handy when you hands are full. A lot of room packed in a compact bag! I would recommend this bag!Want Victorinox Luggage Architecture 3.0 Big Ben With Security Fast Pass Backpack Discount?
Finally a bag that has more pockets and areas for storage than i have ever seen in a bag in all my all my 20 years of flying.
David King & Co. Distressed Leather Porthole Briefcase
If you are looking for an ACTUAL distressed LEATHER Messenger Bag, do NOT order this one. Contrary to what the photos show and what the description states, this bag is actually thin suede and not distressed at all. Granted, suede is a form of leather but they should state "Suede" somewhere in the description. The photos show a bag that appears to be full-grain or top-grain leather, not a nappy thin piece of nasty suede. If you even tried to use this as an actual messenger bag, you would be lucky to get a few weeks out of it before it started to fall apart. Suede was never meant to be used for heavy duty applications such as messenger bag use.

Nice bag. The picture makes it look a little darker than it actually is. Love the bag, though. Similar bags look too much like purses, but this one does not.Read Best Reviews of David King & Co. Distressed Leather Porthole Briefcase Here
Thomas and Friends Backsack
I bought this for my three year old nephew who loves Thomas The Train, and he was so excited to get it. He loves it, and that makes me love it. It's cute for kids to carry their toys in!!
The product was to small . I didn't find deminsions for the backsack on the product description.
SANOXY 17" Widescreen Laptop Notebook Sleeve Soft Case for Fujitsu, Samsung, Dell, Acer, ASUS Eee P
This sleeve, although a good product and it seems decent quality, does not fit the hp dv7 series of 17.3 inch laptops. So I bought a generic sleeve designed specifically for the 17.3 inch laptop at office depot. That one fits perfectly.
There is a bit of a rubber smell but I think it will leave in time. Worth the money.
The product is soft yet thick enough to help protect it. However it is a soft sleeve not to be confused with hard sided bags.
ShelleyI like this product! For some reason when it arrived it smelled like petroleum, but I aired it out a bit, and we're good to go.
Fits like a glove on my 17" Toshiba. The price was right as well. Similar ones that I saw locally were $25.I had read the reviews for this item was was almost positive that it was what I needed at a reasonable price. But when the Item arrived at my house. I was unable to fit my Dell 17 in laptop into the sleeve.Fits a 17.3" HP Pavillion no problem. Very well cushioned, gives added protection when transporting in a carry bag. Well worth the small cost.
High Sierra Stretch Backpack
I used my newly received backpack today and I absolutely love it! It's very sleek looking (I got the black/grey one) and it even has a special pocket for your ipod that keeps the zipper from closing all the way so your headphones cord doesn't get mangled. It has so much space and many "hidden" pockets so it doesn't look too baggy from the outside which was one of my requirements when looking for a new backpack to use. It also has a seperate holder for a laptop that keeps the computer from falling all over the place. The straps are comfy and the backside of the backpack is breathable which I love since I ride my bike and sometimes my back gets to hot/sweaty with other backpacks. All in all, I completely recommend this to anyone who wants a serious yet sleek backpack.

While not quite as Stretchy as Expected, it can stretch a fair bit. It's durable, strong, and comfortable on the shoulders. It can hold a full load of books and accessories without a problem for a reasonable price. Overall? Completely worth it.Read Best Reviews of High Sierra Stretch Backpack Here
I chose the Charcoal/Black one to have with me at the gym. This backpack has so many compartments for the laptop, cell phone, MP3 player, and just about anything else you want to carry. Very firm and lightweight. And shipping is fast!Want High Sierra Stretch Backpack Discount?
First off, the shipping on this bag is AMAZING. I ordered the Black/Charcoal backpack yesterday and got it today!Also, pretty much everything about the bag seems just perfect. It is a good size, it is spacious, sturdy, and looks great! It is everything I have been looking for except...
The only big drawback, which may even be so annoying as to cause me to return the bag, is that it came with a huge reflective strip right down the middle of the front mesh pocket. This strip is NOT pictured on the backpack for this color, and most of the other colors! I really wish it had been mentioned in the product details, and ESPECIALLY pictured on all the backpacks because it is pretty unsightly. Most importantly, when it was mailed it was folded because the bag was folded, and because it is made of rubber/plastic material, it will not unfold/lay flat.
I wonder if there is a way to request a bag without the strip (if they come without it at all) because I would absolutely love the bag if not for this. Maybe it won't bother most other people if it comes on their bag, but it is good to be aware of it ahead of time.
Scooby Doo Draw String bag
The bag would not stay closed and would not stay on my son's back. Very disappointed. It seems well enough made, but was not what I expected.
