Meffort Inc 15 15.6 inch Neoprene Laptop Sleeve Bag Carrying Case with Hidden Handle and Adjustable

Meffort Inc 15 15.6 inch Neoprene Laptop Sleeve Bag Carrying Case with Hidden Handle and Adjustable Shoulder Strap - Paris DesignMy bag was better than I had anticipated. Even though it was my second choice, it has proved its worth.

I chose this rating because I spent money on something that does not fit properly. The sleeve is to big for my 15 inch laptop.

I shopped online found a design that inspired me to purchase, however I can't use it.

The laptop slides around in sleeve causing it to be uncertian in my grip, I almost dropped my laptop so I removed my laptop from the sleeve and don't use it.

Can my money be returned to me? Thank you.

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. :(

Laptop Tablet Sleeve w. Removable Strap Neoprene Case Fits Apple iPad (1st Generation) / Samsung Ga

Laptop Tablet Sleeve w. Removable Strap Neoprene Case Fits Apple iPad / Samsung Galaxy Tablet / Asus Eee Pad / Acer Iconia Tab / 8' 8.9' 9' 10' 10.2' Netbook and moreI bought this for my tablet. The fit is nice. The design is pretty but the strap must be merely for show. It broke the 2nd time I used it.

Hi everyone!

I just got this and was really excited with the quality of the stitching and the nice design. However, it was advertised as fitting the Asus EEE Transformer and unfortunately, it's about an inch and half too large of width. It'll do since I'm not in the mood to deal with sending it back, but if you're looking for a perfect fit, don't go with this.

Eddie Bauer® Olympus Backpack - Red/ Gray

Eddie Bauer® Olympus Backpack - Red/ GrayThis bag is great. I like to have two big pockets for my laptop in one and my notebooks in the other. I have had this backpack for at least 4 years. The bag has out lasted the zippers. I would keep this bag, if there was a way I could fix the zippers. This bag is worth the money!

Great pockets and comfort. I carry around books and binders for 4 CSS courses a day and it feels great. The shoulder straps are what sold me. Great comfort for the price. The only other options (at Target) were the Swiss Gear and Jansport. The jansport was not as comfortable and the swissgear was too small. I'll find out in a few weeks if it can hold up to the abuse!

My kids kept complaining that their school backpacks were breaking easily and were uncomfortable when they carried heavy books so I decided to purchase a more expensive brand. I was really pleased with those Eddie Bauer backpacks as they lasted many years. The padding and the straps are thicker than other backpacks we used before.

Guerrilla Packs Airporter Travel Backpack Duffel Hybrid with Detachable Daypack (50-Liter + 10-Lite

Guerrilla Packs Airporter Travel Backpack Duffel Hybrid with Detachable DaypackI was looking for a moderately priced backpack for a 'flashpacking' adventure in Asia. I was most excited about the carry-on size and the detachable day pack. The backpack has held up considerably well during my 6 week trek in Asia, but the daypack which I use...everyday....has started to tear at the seams. Honestly, I was expecting a little more life out of the product. Great design idea....mediocre quality.

If you are thinking about taking a nice, long backpacking trip abroad, you are probably looking for a pack like this one. I have taken it to Germany for 7 days and the UK for 23 days. I have had no trouble at all with the main pack. However, I have been working the warranty overtime with the smaller packs.

First of all whoever wrote the other review does not have to worry about the plastic connections between the main pack and the smaller pack. This is not the weakest link. I have been having terrible trouble with the seams where the straps sew into the bag. I had to have both smaller bags replaced because of this issue. The company accidentally sent me a replacement bag with the wrong type of connections (this wasn't discovered until the day I left for Germany and they did send me another replacement) and I used the bag with a bad handle on the second trip. So, I can also tell you that the fabric inside the smaller pack also separated/tore from the seam.

The company has been very good with the warranty claims and I haven't had trouble with the replacements, but I also have not taken them on a strenuous trip. The concept works very well. The bag fits comfortably on my 5'4" frame for hour-long walks to the hostel. Just make sure you put your purchase through its paces before the warranty expires.

Buy Guerrilla Packs Airporter Travel Backpack Duffel Hybrid with Detachable Daypack (50-Liter + 10-Lite Now

I bought this bag for my most recent trip to Spain, where we flew in to Madrid and planned on going to various other cities via rail. The large bag holds so much, yet still fits carry on specifications. The daypack attached to it is perfect exactly what you need if you leave the main bag at a hostel/hotel and go exploring. Also on a plane, you can put the main bag up in the storage and keep your snacks/important documents/book/etc in the small bag on your lap. The straps that clip it to the main bag look a little bit flimsy, but they held as I was running for trains several times.

The only problem I would have with this bag is that although its straps are adjustable, I don't think they can fit every body type. I am pretty small (5' 0") and even though I had the straps at their tightest, the bag was still hung and wasn't fully supported on me. After a couple hours of carrying it, I could definitely feel it, so if I planned to take it hiking or something, this might not cut it for someone my size. The other thing is that it is pretty wide for a backpack. Definitely wider than my body, a bit difficult to walk around things with. Finally, the little laptop sleeve that comes with it only fits 13in laptops, so is pretty much a throwaway if you have something bigger.

Overall, the Airporter is an excellent bag and I love it!

I had high hopes for this backpack as the design is perfect for a backpack tour of Europe. It is small enough to get onto European regional airlines (stricter carry-on standards) and it has enough capacity to support a Hosteling tour of Europe. Also, it is very hard to find a detachable daypack bag in this class of bag (capacity). The first day in Paris, two straps pulled out. The zippers are questionable but to their credit they actually lasted the trip (of course I was babying the backpack the rest of the way). Unfortunately I can not recommend this backpack though I am rooting for this company to build a robust version. If they improve it, I would try it again, but in it's current state of quality it is not ready for prime time. While the company does have a warranty, that doesn't help you if you are in a Metro station in Paris enroute to your hostel.

J.B. Expedition Thermal Backpacker Outdoor Sock (2 Pairs)

Outdoor Sock- J.B. Field's Thermal Backpacker SockThe socks are good quality and very warm. My fiance loves them. The socks may not seem soft on the outside, but they are cozy on the inside (and that's what counts, right?)

I got these socks for my husband who likes to walk in the woods and sit outside by a fire at his lodge. He said that they kept his feet warm in the cold, so I believe that they do their job! They arrived very quickly, too.

Great looking and feeling socks though I recommend wearing them over a comfortable pair of sock liners rather than directly against the skin. It's not that cold out yet in NY, so I don't really know how warm these will keep me, but so far they look and feel great. I will probably be ordering more.

Incase Coated Canvas Shoulder Bag (Black)

Incase Coated Canvas Shoulder BagOn a quest for the perfect bag for my 2011 Macbook Pro 15" See my other reviews

This a minimalistic case, not for pack rats!

If you carry your power adapter with you, it's going to be a tight fit.

+ iPad 2 : Has compartment for a naked Ipad 2. If you use a case/sleeve, you can fit it in front of the dedicated pocket.

+ Good padding around, except for the very bottom. I would cut a small piece of foam, or neoprene from one of your old cases and put at the very bottom. If I dropped the bag and it landed in the same orientation as you would set it down, I'd be slightly worried. That being said, it is one one of the better cases I've looked at recently.

+ Fits the MBPro 15" very nicely.

Won't fit the Macbook IF it is in a Lacie zipper-less sleeve. you can shove it in there, but will be turning the bag inside out to remove it. I like to use a sleeve plus the bag personally.

-/+ you will get a magazine, or two in here, but not much else in addition to the iPad and the Macbook Pro 15". No text books!

no grab handle.

+ Padded shoulder strap, non-removable.

+ Good style, looks too small to hold a laptop, so it doesn't scream laptop. Glossy appearance. Looks like a fashionable accessory.

Photos -if you look at this on the Incase website (same model), it shows the straps as being detachable, and having a grab handle. The Amazon photos are correct for the Amazon product.

Being a minimalistic bag, it's on my shortlist, as I can fix the padding myself. There are not a lot of minimalistic bags.

I purchased this product in April 2011 and by around October/November 2011 the seams attaching the shoulder strap to the bag had begun to separate from the canvas. There was no undue wear or tear, just a 15" MBP and a couple of notebooks. The strap also lacks stitching down near the buckle to prevent the strap from bunching and forcing the buckle sideways. I would check out some of the other available shoulder bags.

Love the bag! Well catered to my iPad 2 and MacBook or textbooks! Easy to clean, and stylish for sure.

I originally bought this with hopes of proving to myself that shoulder bags are better than backpacks -turns out this isn't the case (which is the only reason I gave this 4 stars). This bag is still a great bag, however. Like some others have said, it does not have a lot of space for anything really except a laptop, tablet, and a few accessories, but the plus side is that it looks extremely stylish.

I still prefer backpacks over shoulder bags any day because they allow for more mobility and are more comfortable.

Want Incase Coated Canvas Shoulder Bag (Black) Discount?

I had the previous model which was sold in Apple stores. I loved that one. It eventually ripped out where the strap attached to the bag, so I bought this one to replace it. Same company, same bag? Nope. Quality is lower. The strap seems thinner, and the coating seems to be less. It is hard to say if it will hold up as well as the first, but it just doesn't feel as well made. On the other hand, I spent 50% more for the previous one in the Apple store, so maybe there are actually two models without a visual distinction.

One physical difference is that this one has a snap for the front flap, instead of Velcro. I prefer the snap, but wouldn't choose that over the difference in quality.

Samsonite Tectonic Medium Backpack

Samsonite Tectonic Medium Backpack, Black/Olive, One SizePerfect backpack for college. I am loving the dedicated laptop compartment. The black looks stylish and understated.

It can fit:

Laptopupto 15 inches comfortably.

Ipad

Laptop charger

2 textbooks

2 binders and 2 notebooks

Water bottle

stationery and cellphone in the front pocket.

Great bag. Just got it brand new. Got it delivered second day. Price was very reasonable for the backpack. Perfectly fits 15.6" laptop (Dell Studio 1555). The tag also says it fits laptops upto 15.6". Comes with a 3 Year limited term global warranty. Is overall nice built. Compact. Not too large. But spacious and lots of compartments, including bottle holder. Great backpack for regular use. Although I am not sure yet whether it is waterproof or not, because I couldn't find anywhere written so. And haven't used it in rain or snow yet.

Bag dimensions: 17.5" x 12.5" x 8"

Laptop Compartment Dimensions: 15" x 10" x 1.75"

However, I was shocked to see written in the label of the product:

"Warning: This product contains chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm."

What the heck is this? Why would someone use such chemicals. :( Need to write to Samsonite regarding this!

This backpack is awesome except for the fact that it has the CA proposition 65 toxic chemicals warning. LIke the other reviewer, I may return it if I can find another backpack that does not have that warning. I'd prefer to have a backpack that does not require this warning.

My backpack finally bit the dust and I needed another one-I hate change and I hate looking for the perfect backpack

This one is not perfect but very close -I have been using it for about a week and it is working out just fine

It keeps my little netbook safe and my precious kindle too. There are places and zippers to keep all my stuff where I can find it quick.

It is not too big. I thought I might need the big backpack but knew since I am not a large person it might be too big. The size it just right--if anything I think another small pocket on the outside for my phone would be great. There is just one and it is a tight fit for an iphone. Of course there are a lot of places and holders inside the pack.

I love the water bottle holder many bags have done away with this and this was a deal breaker. This one has two. I put water in one side and the other will fit a small umbrella if you are so inclined.

For the price and free shipping it is a great deal and a nice back pack.

I purchased this item about 6 months ago and really liked it. It has ample storage space for my laptop, tablet, kindle, and all of the associated plugs, wires, and cables that are needed. It feels solid when you grab it and wear it and it protects the items inside very well due to a good amount of padding/cushioning. The only problem I have with it is that after about 4 months the seam inside the bag that separates the laptop compartment from the large accessories compartment has frayed and is coming apart. It wasn't ripped, the fabric just seems to have loosened and come undone from the single stitch that was holding it. I don't know if I stressed the bag at the wrong spot or what, but it doesn't seem like it is structurally sound at this point.

Wenger Swissgear UPLOAD Carrying Case (Backpack) for 16 Notebook - Black

Wenger Swissgear UPLOAD Carrying Case for 16 Notebook - BlackI saw an industrial serviceman that had one of these packs and asked him about it. Because he works all over the world and carries his backpack every where, he said backpacks normally last him six months. His backpack was two years old and looked like new. We were near a computer so I asked him to help me find it on-line. I went to Amazon... Looked up Swissgear backpack... as soon as we found it I wiped out the charge card a bought one.

I've carried everything from my 16" notebook to a small two ton capacity hydraulic jack in it. It's the most indestructible backpack that I have seen or used. I love it.

As soon as I opened the box and saw the backpack, I loved it. It's built well, looks great, and has a lot of room to fit so many different things. This backpack will get a lot of use (graduate student) and I don't worry about whether or not it's up to the challengeI know it is. If you're on the fence, BUY BUY BUY!

David King & Co. Women's Organizer Backpack

David King & Co. Women's Organizer BackpackI have hunted for several years for a bag like this to replace the one I was carrying (very similar style but not as secure or roomy). I was not having any luck finding one in leather that was UNDER 100.00 (i.e. affordable to me)!! The pricing was right on. Because of how long it took me to find this bag, I bought 2 one in black and one in cafe (from 2 different sources but around the same price)so that I can change ovre easily when I want a differnt color. I am pondering getting the natural colored one too ... lol

So ladies, if you like organizer purses/handbags, this is the one for you. Personally, I prefer a backpack style handbag as it distributes the weight of the purse evenly across my back and shoulders and is secure there while shopping. Lending to a more hands free shopping excursion.

This bag features to 2 spacious main compartments that are full zippered compartments and then a flap-over snapping top. The main back compartment is large enough for my full size wallet that measures about 8"L x 3.5"W x 1.5"D standing on end and then next to that my checkbook and small address book and there is still a bit of space, if I needed it for any other flat items. There is also a small zippered pouch in the compartment. The front main compartment has several pockets and pouches in it plus space in between. There is a front zippered compartment (great for quick access cosmetics, personal hygiene products and medicines. There is also a back open pouch pocket, great for a paperback book, coupons, a place to slip your paystub on payday (you get the idea :-) ) There straps are adjustable and have ample extra length. So, this bag should work for most women. It is well made and being that it is leather, it will last a long time, as I know from past experience with well made leather bags.

This bag is awesome. It's big enough to hold absolutely everything. I've had it about a year and it has lasted through being knocked around like crazy and stuffed to the brim. You can seriously fit anything in here. I've used to to hold cameras, mp3 players, a small video camera, handheld game consoles, several sets of keys at the same time, wallets, phones and stuff I bought while shopping. You name it, it can hold it. Plus, the fabric on the inside hasn't even started to rip yet. It's a pocketbook, but it's a backpack, so I can carry around 5-7 pounds and not even realize it half the time. It is extremely durable. I have not had one strap break or tear despite it being hung on rings in bathrooms and swung around constantly. It's very well made and the leather is soft and nice. The only thing I have even remotely negative to say about the bag is that the phone holder is on the inside, so that if your phone isn't very loud or you're in a loud place, you might not hear your phone ring. That certainly wasn't a deal breaker for me, but if you need to hear your phone the second it rings and you put it in this bag, you might not get to it in time.

This is the third time I have purchased this backpack. I love it does everything I want, including carry my IPad! and when I need it my umbrella! However, I still find the dye comes off, mostly when I am walking around in a hot, humid climate . So, my clothes get dye on them and that is very irritating especially when laundry facilities are not readily available. It is better than it was a few years ago, but no dye should come off. If it was not for this feature, I would rate it five stars.

I ordered this backpack because long city walks carrying my Baggilini over-the-shoulder purse were hurting my back. After reading a lot of product reviews, I ordered this bag. I'm so happy I did. No more back pain -at least not purse-related. This product is beautiful, too, and the organization features are perfect for my needs. It has: 4 credit card slots, lots of room (e.g., can carry legal sized envelopes, sunglasses, etc.), a cell phone pocket, 2 velcro-shut pockets, windowed-ID holder, a large zippered inner pocket (ideal for coins and cash), and two exterior pockets, one zippered and one open, adjacent to the wearer's back. Overall, this is a well designed, high-quality product.

Lucky Bums Lucky Bug Backpack (Camo Realtree APHD)

Lucky Bums Lucky Bug BackpackI should have looked at a ruler when I read about the size of this thing, because it is tiny. I purchased it for my 3-year-old to take on our hikes. It has just about enough room for a juice box and his child-size binoculars. Still, it is cute, and he seems to really like it. It is literally as big as my hand with my fingers spread. When he outgrows it I may be able to use it as a coin purse to carry inside my purse.

We no longer need a full diaper bag but I still wanted something to carry a snack, a sippy cup, and a diaper or two, and I thought this would be perfect. However, I failed to read the description and was surprised at how tiny this backpack really is. It's for a toddler to carry around, not for a parent to fill with toddler supplies, and I had to find a slightly larger youth backpack to suit my original plan. This is a great little bag, though, cute and sturdily made, and it'll be perfect for my toddler to put a few tiny toys in.

Ranipak Luggage 16 Inch Neoprene Sleeve With Shoulder Straps

Ranipak Luggage 16 Inch Neoprene Sleeve With Shoulder Straps, Purple, One SizeIt is extremely well made. The pockets, handle, and included strap are a very nice touch. I am very happy I went with this one. Plus, the design is actually pressed into the neoprene so it looks great and makes the bag different for the average sleeve. The 16 in is a little tight on my 15.6 in widescreen laptop, but this guarantees that my computer does not slide around.

Great product.

I purchased this sleeve for two laptops I haveone that is 11 inches and one that is 15.6 inches. I was concerned that the sleeve would not fit my 15.6 inch laptop but the reviews convinced me it would fit. I have now put my laptop in this case twice and when I went to zip it up a second time-the zipper is no longer functional. It zips up but opens right after the slider passes. This sleeve looks great but it stinks functionally. I even placed my smaller 11 inch laptop in the case and it does not zip up either. I am going to have to find another sleeve nowirritating.

Lovely case. I work in a big complex and have a heavy laptop due to my line of work. I bought this so I don't have my hands full with PC, notebook, pen, folder and i phone, when walking between buildings multiple times a day. It holds all of that well, the issue is that the shoulder handle is so thin that it hurts my shoulder so I can only use the short handle. So it frees at least one hand but not both.

Got this for my HP laptop after drooling over some $50 ones online, and I must say I'm very pleased! The case is soft and secure for my laptop and the cell phone slot was a convenient bonus! The strap and handle are both sturdy and the case overall is stylish. I definitely recommend this one!

Vagabond Traveler C.E.O. Heavy Duty Classic Leather Briefcase/Backpack Tote 16" L02

C.E.O. Heavy Duty Classic Leather Briefcase/Backpack Tote L02 DK BRN Vintage 16'This is one heck of a bag! The quality and craftsmanship are superb. The materials are top-notch. When you open the main flap and observe the quality of the leather, you are amazed at the thickness of the hides, and recognize that this bag will last for many, many years. My 15.5" laptop fits in perfectly. The middle compartment has thick, leather half-round "bumpers" stitched into the sides and bottom to protect the computer if it is bumped or dropped. Make sure that your laptop will fit the bumpers will not compress much if you have a larger machine. If you have a widescreen laptop >16", this bag is probably not for you. Verify measurements. Plenty of storage for pens, cards, papers, power supply, cords, medicine, mouse...you name it. Shoulder strap is long and comfortable. Backstraps (for use as a backback) seem to be a novelty, but they function fine (who would wear this as a backpack??) Quality, quality, quality! Wine red finish is beautiful and classy. Other finishes, given the quality of leathers, must be stunning, and would likely wear like a fine leather jacket. Long was a pleasure to deal with excellent communication, helpful, and quick shipping. (Can you tell that I am loving my new briefcase???) A great buy for a great product. Thank you!

This. This is a serious bag. If you've had a dozen bags in as many years because they've broken, worn out, or been otherwise insufficient, you've finally landed on the right one. As others have said, the quality of materials and craftsmanship is outstanding. The design is relatively simple, with very few details though it has enough subtlety to be useful for those rare occasions when you're not riding a bucking bronco or patrolling the frontier, like pen holders and a clasp for your keys favoring instead a design and materials that will not rip or break or malfunction. Big chunky buckles, thick straps, solid chrome studs.

The only possible drawback compared to some other bags (but not compared to Saddlebacks, as someone also said), is the weight. It weighs at least as much empty as your messenger bag or lightweight briefcase weighs fully loaded. It also smells intensely of leather for a while enough to fill up a small office but for some that'll be a plus. Indeed, when your officemates smell you coming around the corner, and then see the massive neck you've developed from wearing this thing every day, they'll know you're not a man to be trifled with. They will talk about you and invite you to their parties, which you'll graciously turn down with a squinting gaze to the horizon. "No," you'll say, chewing on a straw from Starbucks as if it were a stalk of wheat, "I wish I could, but there are some things a man just can't run away from." You'll tip your hat and walk away, and they will stare at this bag on your back with wide eyes and slackened jaws. And so the legend begins...

Wow, just wow.

I had been browsing around some other briefcases before discovering Vagabond Traveler. I'm one year out of college and needed something to hold all my stuff like anyone else, but I wanted something with swagger. The bag I had(some cheap Solo bag) broke; cheap quality bags will do that, hell even other bags do that. I decided to up my game a little and spend my money on what I assume is a smaller, classier company.

Just got the bag today and I'm blown away. This bag will last a few generations in my eventual family, but I'd rather it be buried with me. Me and this briefcase are going to go through a lot together. He, who I have named Ted, will be there for me in times of need, I will cover him in the rain, etc.

It's big but fits my 15inch Mac perfectly and then some. I could probably pack about 3-4 laptops within the inside. The backpack straps are great if you ride a bike, or if you have a lot in it since it is rather heavy already. I should also mention I'm 5'10 at average weight, and the bag is a little disproportionate with my frame but the quality of leather, stitching and chrome buckles are worth 2 out of 10 girls laughing. The other 8 will want to pay for dinner.

Case Logic Berkeley Plus BPCA-115 15-Inch Laptop Backpack (Anthracite)

Case Logic Berkeley Plus BPCA-115 15-Inch Laptop BackpackThis is a great backpack. I'm a fan of Case Logic camera bags, so this didn't come as a huge surprise. Much like the camera bags it's sturdy and full of useful compartments, in addition to being comfortable to wear. Some of the compartments seem a bit random--do I really need a lower-back pocket?--but I've yet to find this to be an inconvenience. I was impressed when it held up in an unexpected downpour; I wouldn't leave it out in the rain for terribly long, but books and laptops will definitely survive a 10-block sprint through the rain.

My husband has a really large backpack that carries his laptop or notebook when he travels but the bag is looking pretty rough. I liked the look of this backpack and wanted to try it out for him. When it arrived, I was surprised at how light weight the backpack was (in comparison to his old one) and how nice the fabric looked. He likes it but it can't carry nearly as much as he likes to cram into his carry on. There are two different compartments that you can put your laptop/notebook in. It's strange to have one of the padded compartments directly on your back and the zipper under the straps. There is one large zipper on the outside that has a pocket for a small notebook (definitely not for our larger laptop) and other small compartments. They are all useable just not for anything bulky. It's a great for daily use but don't plan on using this for long trips.

If you're looking for a laptop backpack that looks classy, will protect your gear, and won't break the bank then look no further. The Case Logic Berkeley Plus backpack will hole a good-sized laptop (up to 15") but will also protect a modestly sized MacBook Air. The padding seems thick enough to protect against a drop from a few feet, but I have to admit I wasn't about to test it (not on purpose anyway).

The backpack is a good size, not too big and not too small. It has several pockets around the exterior that would hold keys, phone or iPod, and accessories. One of the pockets will hold a water bottle or other drink... common feature but still very useful.

The best thing about the backpack is the material it's made of. Backpacks just don't look refined most of the time, they make you look like a kid in high school. I feel like I could carry the Case Logic Berkeley to the office and not feel like I was 17 again. It's a really nice, textured fabric that just looks classy. Check out the detail in the product photo and see for yourself.

PROs:

Lightweight

Roomy, but not too big

Pockets for accessories and a water bottle

Great price

-

CONs:

I do worry just a little that if I dropped it with my MacBook Air in the 15" laptop pocket that it wouldn't have enough protection because it's not "snug." We'll see.

"Secure hidden pocket" on the back is weird and protrudes just a little, and you can feel it when wearing it on your back. It's not necessarily uncomfortable, but a little weird. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to put in the pocket... cash perhaps? But it's not "hidden" really, it's very obvious the pocket is there when the backpack is not on you.

Overall, the Case Logic Berkeley Plus is a really well made laptop backpack and would be great for the college student (or someone like me who prefers the comfort of a backpack to the messenger bag).

I had the opportunity to lug this backpack on an international trip right after it arrived, so I could test its battle-readiness right away. Overall I am satisfied; its small size belies its volume and the padding at the back is better than what appears. I could easily fit my 15 inch laptop along with two books, a kindle and some small accessories. After this there was little space left, however. The only problem for some could be that it's not exactly a trend-setter in terms of looks; but personally for me this was not a big hindrance.

I carry my MacBook Pro 15 (Retina) and my iPad in a Logitech Solar Keyboard Folio fine. The MacBook Pro fits (barely) but the iPad + case fits nicely. I also carry the charging cables, an Apple Magic Trackpad, and a Seagate Slim 500 GB Portable Hard Drive. I don't carry books or papers (I don't need to, since I use digital versions). I also occasionally carry a water bottle, which fits in one of the side pockets.

There is a small zipped pocket at the bottom of the bag that faces the back. I suppose you can put your phone in it, and for security purpose (to prevent pick-pockets) it is not accessible when the backpack is on the user. Also, the compartment for the laptop is cannot be easily accessed if the backpack is on the user, since the straps cover the zipper path. I actually like these features... I've had my backpack unzipped while riding the train several times. For some, this may be an annoying and unwanted feature.

The backpack does not have enough space to carry too many things, which I like because I tend to overpack and weigh down my bags. This way, I cannot overpack, and the backpack stays relatively light.

Highly recommended.

JanSport Air Cisco Backpack

JanSport Air Cisco BackpackThis bag is large enough to stow a generous amount of gear that I need during my day: a nice big wallet, a little cosmetics bag, a couple of folded-up reusable grocery bags, a sweatshirt, a snack, a library book. My immense 24-oz OXO travel tea tumbler fits in the bottle pocket on the side. And I use the compression straps for my yoga mat. A further bit of excellence: the bag is designed so that you can twist it around and access the pockets while wearing it. The little pocket located on the strap is easily large enough for my Samsung Galaxy SIII. There is even a padded, felt-lined pocket for a tablet or a Kindle. Despite being so capacious, it never feels too big or bulky or gets in my way. It has grab-straps sewn onto the larger strap so that it's easy to grab and lift the bag from any angle, and also there's always a place to clip your keychain onto. It has multiple pen slots and card/stuff slots in the large front organizer area, plus the convenient open front pocket for that power bar/parking card/packet of tissues you need rapid access to. This bag is pretty close to perfect!

I took away 1 star for the following reasons: because the bag is nice and big, it's easy for my wallet to fall to the bottom and be hard to find. One or two internal slots or pockets would make this bag even more awesome. And also, the selection of available colors and patterns is not really very fashion-forward. But if you are willing to overlook these minor issues, the bag is really really good. Comparable levels of functionality in a "fancier" brand would run $100 or more. (I am looking at you, Lululemon.) And honestly, I have not really found this level of excellence in any other bag, fancy or plain.

My 4th grader has a large binder and several items to carry; not only does it hold it all, but is a comfy fit!

Good sized book bag. My daughter has been using this for the past 6 months and it still looks brand new. Normally her book bags will only last about 6 months, but this one is holding up very well.

Fjallraven Kanken Backpack

Fjallraven Kanken BackpackI have been using these bags since I first bought one in Stockholm almost ten years ago. The design is great--they are very lightweight, comfortable with reasonable loads, and obviously classic looking. Unfortunately they are overpriced for what they are. I bought a new bag about a month ago and I'm not impressed with the durability. It seems like the prices have gone up a lot without any increase in manufacturing quality. For a small daypack that costs $75, you'd expect it to be something better made than a Wal-Mart item. But the fabric on the inside started fraying immediately and now a small hole has appeared on the bottom of the pack. I love these bags for their style and function, but I really feel a bit stupid for paying so much for a bag that look so beat up after only a month of use. I've never gotten a hole in any of my other backpacks, even ones I've use for multiday trips in the backcountry.

Unfortunately these packs are now a fashion item, so Fjallraven can double the prices, send the manufacturing to the cheapest factories, and people will still buy them. Note that this $75 schoolchildren's backpack is made in Vietnam, not Sweden.

I used to use messenger and tote bags before buying my Kanken, and it is probably the most resilient, well-designed, and downright greatest bag for carrying around my university campus.

It's original and practical. Most backpacks have rounded tops, which I never found useful for anything, but the rectangular design on this is just right for books. Inside, there is a tall pocket in the back which is useful for little essentials like eyedrops, altoids, and toiletries you'd rather not have out in the open every time you open the bag. Retrieving items from inside is made exceptionally easy, partly due to the rectangular shape and the easy with which the front can be folded down. There's room for about three 1.5'' binders or two 1.5'' binders and one 14'' laptop. Outside, the front pocket offers enough room for a phone, wallet, and keys. The two pockets on the sides I often use for a small umbrella and a disposable water bottle. My favorite part is that the zippers are quality YKK zips and don't have or need the dangling tassels many backpacks have, which often fray or fall off anyway.

The only real con is that the straps are not padded and easily chafe bare skin (but in terms of design, the thinness is nice and is less bulky than, say, Jansport Straps)...if you're in Europe, there are a lot of stores that sell padded straps as an accessory, though they're harder to find in the US. Also, if you're looking to carry more than one huge, heavy textbook, I don't recommend this since it's not especially large. It's not waterproof, only slightly water-resistant, and I would recommend buying wax to coat it on days with heavy rain; it can easily get soaked BUT it dries up relatively quickly, doesn't warp, and isn't prone to stains--from either wet or dry elements. I have never had to clean it and it's only slightly dirty on the bottom (my own fault) and have not yet needed to sew anything up for any reason.

In terms of durability, the quality is really impeccable. I've owned mine for more than a year now, taken it to university, through crowded NYC public transportation, and on numerous vacations and the zippers and most of the seams are very much the same as when I bought it.

All in all, I love this backpack and I've spent a lot of time looking at new backpacks for school only to end up wanting to get another Kanken in a different color.

This is a very well built backpack, one feature I really like is the side pockets on each side of the backpack that are quite long, and you can store all kinds of stuff in there for easy reach. Well built and looks great.

I had one of these packs years ago, before it was a fashion pad. I have to say the boxy design is a turn off. They look cute on kids, but for adults it is not flattering. The straps are not too comfortable, so I would not put more than one to two books. The main compartment and the accessory pocket are both not huge, don't expect to put a MEAD notebook in them. The removable cushion on the back is a plus if you are using it for outdoor purpose. The side pocket is very narrow and would not fit most water bottle (maybe a smallish plastic evian). The material is not too durable, mine worn down quickly within a year; and $75 for a pack is (cheap by Swedish standard) but expensive by frugal US standard. I would not recommend this product for students going to school, maybe to lug around town for casual errands.

Built NY Black Laptop Sleeve

Built NY 17' Laptop Sleeve - BlackThe laptop sleeve is great quality; the problem is the sizing is way off. I had read other review of this product which said that the laptop sleeve ran small and suggested that you buy a size bigger than your computer, and I did. I bought a 17" laptop sleeve for a 15.4" widescreen laptop and the Built NY 17" laptop sleeve was still too small for my computer or to be specific it was still too narrow for my computer. Amazon lists the external dimensions as 16.9 in L x 11.8 in W x .5 in D. The 11.8 in W measurement that is listed is from the ends. The hour glass part in the middle is around 10.4 inches wide, so if your computer is wider than about 9.5 inches don't buy this laptop sleeve.

Fits my new 15.4" MacBook Pro. At first I wasn't sure about the hourglass shape but once it's on the laptop the shape modifies. Doesn't look as,'hourglassly'. I really like the funky designs but wish they had more patterns to choose from. I bought the LARGE multi Poka dot pattern with the off white background .. which I LOVE..and the brown multi-dot one. It gives a very snug fit and fits into my backpack nicely.

Even though it says 15" it fits my 15.4" UNI-BODY MacBook Pro PERFECTLY.. I Highly recommend!!

i purchased a macbook and wanted to get a semi-protective sleeve for it. the product itself is well-made. however, it does not fit the 13" macbook very well which causes the laptop to shift around inside the case.

with that said, i would not recommend this product for the 13" macbook as it is a better fit for owners of 14" and 15" laptops.

This is an extremely well made sleeve for a laptop. I have a Toshiba 17" laptop and I bought this sleeve because of the outstanding workmanship. It fits my laptop like a glove. It is made of wet suit material which offers more cushion than another sleeve I used on my 15" laptop. It zips on the side instead of the front so it offers more protection for the computer. I highly recommend this product.

I own a 14 inch HP Pavilion Laptop and I think this product was especially made for it. It's an EXACT fit and I love it. I'm not sure how it would fit with a 15 inch computer as it seems there wouldn't be room for another inch but if you have a 14 inch computer this is perfect. With that said, the material does stretch a bit so maybe it could.

SwissGear 15.4-Inch Diana Ladies Notebook Tote (GA-7713-02F00)

SwissGear 15.4-Inch Diana Ladies Notebook ToteThis bag is big! Which is exactly why I bought it. I can fit my laptop, charger, daytimer, and multiple files from work inside. Yes it gets heavy, but the straps don't hurt my shoulder. The bag is durable but also looks professional. I use it every day!

Well I purchased this bag in spite of a lack of any type of description from the seller. I wrote them to ask if it had included shoulder straps and they wrote me that "it was a woman's bag and had straps" that was rather vague and it does not have shoulder straps but just the regular straps that are shown.

I am keeping the bag because I despise returns but it is not my favorite bag by any means. It is a nylon material and the straps are stitched, mock-leather vinyl straps.

The size is good for my Dell 15R Inspiron and the pockets inside are nice. It has a zippered bag included and it is made by "Swiss Gear" so it has the little metal insignia metal doohicky. The laptop area has a nice top strap so the laptop fits snugly in the padded laptop area and it includes several little pockets on the interior. It also includes a nice top zipper to close everything up. Interior is a honey beige color with ticking stripes and the whole bag looks very durable. I would have preferred leather but for $50 it is a pretty good bag.

Pros: Top Zipper, lots of interior storage, secure for my laptop, good size, seems durable

Cons: Vinyl straps, no shoulder straps

November 6th Update

------------------------

Update to this review In retrospect I should have given it 4 stars. I have had several comments on the bag and it really is very rugged and I never worry about my laptop getting banged around because the design and fit are nice. Still carrying it and pretty happy with it overall.

I just ordered another set for the girlfriend she was so impressed! Cant beat the quality or price. Keep in mind you will need to get some MOLLE packs and a hydration system.
