JanSport Instigator

The bag is made well and the main storage compartment is very large. The laptop compartment has no padding so I would not trust it with my expensive laptop. Also the insulated sleeve does not really keep anything hot or cold very well. Also I wish the bag had a few more compartments...maybe a smaller one on the front of the bag.

This backpack is great. It holds my books/binders/other things, my lunch, water and a small pocket for everything else. Greatest backpack ever. Plus, it's Jansport, so when something happens to your bag, just send it in and get it fixed. (Multiple times)

Case Logic SSMA-311 Welded Sleeve for 11-Inch MacBook Air and Ultrabooks up to 11.6-Inch (Black)

Indestructible Case, Well Made, Life-time Guarantee. I bought 4 in 3 sizes for various tablets. 13" Holds ASUS EP121/BP121 perfectly. I use this one at 11" to hold the ASUS VivoTab RT or Smart and the ASUS Transformer Prime (with or without keyboards). The small one is ideal for the our Nexus 7 tablets naked. The Construction will protect a tablet corner impact from a drop. This is the kind of drop that can destroy the screen.

I bought this case for my HP Envy x2 and I have to say that it fits perfectly... not too lose not too tight.

The quality of material seems to be very good for this price range. Recommended !!

I like this case. My MacBook fits perfectly and feels secure. The only reason I gave it four stars is because it has a flap on top that folds over when the case is closed (seems to provide some sort of seal) and the flap is stiff and awkward to fold. I'm hoping it will become easier with use.

Tenba Shootout 632-641 Convertible Photo Sling Bag Small (Black/Olive)

I bought this bag in black/olive color (632-641). Originally I didn't give it much thought and passed over it since I wanted a bag I could swing around to my waist and you wouldn't think a backpack style bag can do that. Appearances can be deceiving.

This bag is designed to swing around for access without having to take it off your shoulder. What appears to be a zipper pouch (in the Amazon photo of the product it's the zipper section on the lower left side of the bag) is actually a door that opens to the interior of the bag. The shoulder strap is designed to be worn over your right shoulder, down across your chest, and buckles to the bag on the lower left side. With this arrangement, if you swing the bag around to your front (without removing it from your shoulder or disconnecting the strap) the entire bag will NOW be positioned in front of you, sideways, and just above waist level. What's more, that zipper door on the 'lower left' side of the bag will now be on 'top' of the bag. This means you have access to your spare lenses, accessories, flash, etc. without actually needing to remove the bag. There is a second smaller strap that connects from the lower right corner of the bag and snaps to a buckle on the front of the shoulder strap this gives it more stability so it can't slide around if you're hiking. For occasional use it is not necessary to connect the second strap and there's a sleeve on the side of the bag to tuck in the strap when it's not being used (so you don't have a dangling strap).

The entire inside appears to be two compartments. One on the top of the bag (which has padded baffles to allow the camera and lens to rest face-down inside the bag), and a lower section with numerous adjustable dividers (velcro). The entire "floor" that separates the top from the bottom is also attached via velcro and can be adjusted to any height, allowing you to apportion space to the top section vs. the bottom section.

The full padded back of the bag (the part that would rest against your back) also zippers completely open. It zippers open down the left, bottom, and right sides of the bag.

Everything on the inside is adjustable. All baffles, dividers, and floor sections are connected using velcro and can be repositioned.

The right-side of the bag (not visible in the Amazon product picture) has a pair of adjustable straps intended to attach a small tripod or mono-pod. There is also a non-adjustable strap on the bottom of the bag which could be used to attach or hang an extra accessory.

Tenba "Shootout" series bags are designed for outdoor use with exposure to weather. The zippers are all designed to be fairly weather-tight. Every zipper has a vinyl seal so the teeth are not exposed when the zippers are closed. The bag is not "waterproof" but is "water-resistant" and would have no problem with medium rain or spray. The bag also comes with a rain slick which covers every side of the bag *except* the back-pad -this is suitable for protection if you're caught in more severe weather.

I think this bag has better quality than just about any of the other bags I looked at. I only gave it four stars (instead of 5) because some of the areas of this bag were just a little too small. My camera outfit includes a camera body with an 18-55mm zoom, a 55-250mm zoom, a 60mm macro lens, a dedicated flash, diffuser, a large battery shoe (mates to bottom of the DSLR), as well as some smaller items such as filters, remote shutter release, spare batteries & charger . Capacity-wise the bag is large enough. But organizationally, the whole point of the bag is to allow me to switch lenses, get to my flash, etc. without having to take the bag off my back. It took a while to find any arrangement of the adjustable compartments that would allow everything to fit in the bag, but I had to sacrifice accessibility and take the bag off my back in order to access what I needed. The dividers in the lower section seem designed with the assumption that you'll open the full back to get inside the bag. If positioned to allow access from the side door the dividers are a bit too tall and it was difficult to get various accessories in and out of the bag easily (it would have helped if the side door was a bit larger). If the camera (I used a Canon EOS Rebel T1i) is in the top section pointed down (which is how they intend for it to be stored) the floor dividing the upper and lower sections needed to be repositioned because the 18-55mm lens (which isn't particularly long) was too tall. Repositioning the floor took away so much space from the lower section that my gear really didn't fit anymore, and created a lot of wasted space in the top (of course this is a matter of how much gear you have -on the positive side you could fit a camera with a very very long lens inside the bag if you wanted.

I love the product construction quality (it's not flimsy) and the cleverness of the design, but I think the baffles & dividers need to be made for better accessibility from the side door (which is the whole point of the bag).

I think this bag would be ideal for someone with fewer accessories & lenses. Tenba makes a 'medium' size version of this same bag which I haven't tried yet, but I do plan to check it out and see if it works a little better.

Tenba has a video tour of the bag on their own website for better views and demonstrates how to wear and use the sling bag.

Nikon D90, 18-200mm, 50mm prime, 105mm Micro, GoPro with case and accessories, Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS1, spare batteries and chargers, men's tri-fold wallet, Motorola Droid Bionic and hardshell eye glass case. These are the items I carried in the Tenba 641 on a recent trip to Alaska. No problem with TSD. I stowed this bag with items mentioned under my seat on Alaska Airlines.

Comfortable, functional and ergonomic.

I was expecting a bigger bag to fit my camera body and all the lenses but it wasn't big enough to fit all. Product does look much bigger in picture than in person. Overall, the quality and make of the bag is excellent. Wish it just had more space.

I wanted one case to carry my two Sony NEX 5N cameras with mounted medium lenses and extra lenses and this case case is perfect for that. I would not buy the case for standard sized DSLRs. My case fits the two cameras (one in the top compartment, the other at the bottom, each with a mounted OLED viewfinder) as well as the 18-200 Sony zoom and three others.

The case comes with a plastic rain shield, ties on the side for a tripod/monopod (but no cup at the bottom to stop it from slipping), a zipper that opens the entire back of the case on two sides (not three) and three zippered compartments, one on the side that also gives access to the inside. There is also a zippered, snap pocket on the strap that barely fits the length of an iPhone 5 when pushed. A thin, hidden waist strap that connects with the main strap tucks into the bottom edge of the case.

If you have a NEX-sized camera collection or the equivalent I recommend the case. People with DSLR equipment will need a larger size. This case is made in China but is of typical Tenba quality.

Case Logic 16" Laptop Sleeve - Herringbone

Ended up buying this product for my daughter's 15" Dell computer. Had bought another sleeve for a 15" laptop, but computer didn't fit. Make sure if you are buying a sleeve, get the dimensions of your laptop and check the dimensions of the sleeve. Well built quality product. Ended up spending more for this sleeve than the previous one, but the quality was definitely noticeable.

It case itself is nice. Padding is not too thin but thin enough to not be bulky. I just disliked the color. I was expecting a grayish color and its much browner than I thought. I was also expecting the inside to be neon orange and its more the a watermelon, orangy-red color. I wasn't a fan. It did however fit my Lenovo IdeaPad 15.6" well though.

Buy Case Logic 16" Laptop Sleeve - Herringbone Now

I love this! I have a 15.4 inch Sony Vaio laptop (VPCEB11FX) and this case fits it fine. The case is a little bigger than the laptop, which is ok because I can grab it to take it out of my backpack. The orange color is not that bad and lets me know if I have it zippered. The case did have the rubber smell at first, but it went away after a week of use. The brown herrigbone material suits my personality because I like herringbone. This is a great case to protect my investment!

This is a sturdy and attractive laptop cover.

There's no going wrong with it's neutral gray herringbone pattern, perfect for office, travel and anywhere.

Keeps your laptop protected when not in use. The interior is a bright orange in contrast to it's subdued outside appearance.

I love the protection and the appearance. Highly recommended!

Want Case Logic 16" Laptop Sleeve - Herringbone Discount?

Apparently no one told the people at CaseLogic that most laptops are sold based on their diagonal dimension, not the longest edge dimension. (This allows laptop makers to say their laptop has a 15" screen when it measures 12" by 9" or so.)

So, in short, my 15" MacBook, which is actually about 12" by 9", is way, way smaller than this case, which says it's for 15"-16" laptops, but is measuring by the longest edge. I've uploaded a picture which illustrates the massive size difference between a 15" laptop and this 15" case.

If you've actually measured your laptop, and it actually is 15" on the longest edge, this laptop sleeve will probably be satisfactory. It stinks like crazy when you first open the package, but that fades with time. The padding is thick enough to insulate a laptop from minor turbulence, but won't take any serious trauma. The herringbone pattern is subtle, but more interesting than plain colors. The interior orange is... bright, which is nice but not really important.

The separate places for tablets and LTs is great. I have a large, full-frame camera and 400mm lens and I use the main compartment for them and carry my tablet in the other compartment. NO issues and it's over 10kg in weight. LOVE IT.

A. Saks EXPANDABLE Laptop Backpack

I just purchased this bag to supplement my eBags Weekender Convertible (which is a great bag that I use a lot, but it's just a little too big sometimes). This was one of the lightest bags I could find that is not a fold-into-itself super ultralight. Un-expanded, it's the about size of a regular day packs, and I can easily use it for that purpose. When it's expanded though, it's just large enough to use as my main bag if I'm travelling light.

Here's what I fit in the main compartment during my test pack: 1 pair of trousers, 1 pair of jeans, 2 pair of shorts, a skirt, a pair of leggings, 7 shirts, 1 sweater, 2 pairs of sandals, 4 pair of underwear, a bra, tights, and 2 swimsuits. Plus my makeup bag, medicine bag, toiletries bag, and 3-1-1 bag. I put my kindle, netbook, camera, phone, sunglasses case, and various chargers in the organizer compartment. My umbrella fit perfectly in one of the exterior water bottle pockets. All this and there was still a little room to spare for a light jacket.

Some Details:

There are three main compartments. Small exterior, middle organizer, and expandable main.

-The small exterior compartment just has a key lanyard. It's gusseted though and holds more than I expected.

-The organizer compartment sits in the middle. It has two rectangular fleece lined pockets on the side shared with the exterior compartment perfect for a camera and a phone. The side shared with the main compartment has an ID slot, 4 pen slots, a zippered mesh pocket about the size of a passport, a full-width zippered pocket above that (my kindle fit in here easily), and a padded slip pocket designed for a tablet above that (my netbook also fit here). Gusseted space in between.

-The main compartment has the expandable portion. There are two slip pockets on the side shared with the organizer pocket. The padded laptop pocket is against the back, and there is a velcro strap to keep it secured. I was able to fit my full size laptop here with room to spare.

On my scale, the bag weighs 34 ounces, just a hair over 2 lbs, which is about double the advertised weight. It's still half the weight of my Weekender Convertible though.

Upsides:

The zippers on the main compartment and the organizer compartment are lockable, a nice feature that a lot of backpacks this size do not have.

There is a hidden pocket for passports and valuables behind the lumbar pad. It's accessible from the exterior of the bag, which is convenient but still very secure when carrying the bag. The pocket rides directly against your back, so no hands are going to get in there without you noticing.

The straps are comfortable and the bag seems to handle a heavy load quite well. The lumbar pad is very cushy. I wouldn't mind carrying this around for a day.

I like how far down the zippers go on the sides. It lets the bag open up wide like a clam shell and makes it easier to find things.

It seems to be well made and is fully lined throughout, with strong stitching and just enough padding to hold its shape. The fabric feels similar in weight to an ordinary school bookbag, but it looks a little nicer. There are six little plastic feet on the bottom to help deflect wear and tear.

It comes with a cushy neoprene wrap for the carry handle and a couple of inexpensive "diary" style key locks for the zippers. I already have a much nicer cable lock that I use for zippers, but it was a thoughtful little extra regardless. Even a cheap lock is better than no lock at all.

It's not flashy or expensive-looking, which is perfect for me. I prefer a bag that doesn't attract too much attention.

Downsides:

The laptop pocket is not easy to access when the bag is packed to the gills. If I were using this as my primary luggage on a travel day, I wouldn't put anything here that I intended to use while en route.

The water bottle pockets look a little small. They'll hold a regular bottle of water or a slim umbrella, but I wouldn't expect to fit anything much larger.

No storm flaps on the zippers. I don't know yet how the bag will do in the rain.

Verdict:

I haven't used the bag on a trip yet, but I am looking forward to taking it out for a test drive. Based on initial impressions, I am pleased with my purchase and would recommend the bag.

I love this bag for college and have had it for over a year. I still can't figure out what the little detachable clip is on the outside (attached to the yellow loop)so I just took it off. Other than that, if you need space for large books (I'm an English major and we have to cart around very heavy anthologies)or an extra sweatshirt for cold classrooms, it's the best. Love the fact that you can either roll or carry with straps. I didn't see many bags in my searches that had both. Lots of organization in the compartments and plenty of places to tuck things. I fit large bottles of water in the side water pockets they stretch enough. Well made and durable without being flashy or showy. Love it!

BOBLBEE Velocity 15-Black

I travel a lot, and I carry a netbook and tablet with me most of the time, and I like to ride bikes. Carrying a bag with a shoulder strap is tiring, so I looked for a backpack that was designed for this. I've used previous Boblbee backpacks like the Megalopolis, and was moderately satisfied with them, although they did have some significant flaws. I tried this one, and have been very happy with it. It's a semi-hardshell backpack, but it also has a hard cover unlike the Megalopolis. It's also much smaller, and slides nicely under an airline seat. It has a slim pocket for a small laptop/netbook I use a MacBook Air 11", but it would also work nicely with any small laptop I think. It also has a document pocket, which is actually a tiny bit too small for documents I think, but holds an iPad quite nicely. Beyond that, there's a zip pouch in the top of the case, and all the remaining space within the bag itself. It doesn't really have any flaws I can think of, for what I use it for.

I'd like to purchase this backpack with black color. Is it available? As you see, I can see only red and white color. Please let me know if I can purchase the black color.

Kensington 62348 Contour Roller Carrying Case

I've had the kensington contour roller for about 3 years. We've been everywhere together. 83 countries in fact. I've been very impressed with this bag. My old bag is a six star bag. Unfortunately, the wheels wore out and some of the stitching was starting to come apart. I've loved this bag, so choosing a new one wasn't going to be a problem. I ordered the 'exact' same bag from amazon.

The 'new' contour roller is a cheap knock off of the old bag. I'm so disappointed. The pictures are all of the old bag. First, the zipper tags are some cheap little metal tabs, unlike the originals that were a neat two piece tab. The material is different, to be blunt, it's cheap, coarse nylon. The older bag had a softer feel, and the use of a simulated leather in key places like around the top handles. The leather has been removed from the top of the bag. Several of the little interior pockets have been removed, these were great for little things like pen drives. The zipped laptop sleeve is no longer removable. The bag smells like 'China'. If you have ever been to China you know what I'm talking about. It has a 'tar/oil' smell. I can smell it now as the bag sits beneath my desk.

Kensington, what happened? This was probably the best rolling laptop bag on the market, now it is a cheap knock off of itself. Change it back and fire the clown that went cheap. I like your products, but feel 'ripped' over this one.

I'm a consultant and I spend quite a bit of time banging around between airplanes, rental cars and in and out of buildings. I have no less than 12 different laptop bags at home, from rollers to backpacks and over the shoulders. As you can tell, I have been searching for the right one. I recently bought this one due to the nice looking lightweight handle. Most roller bags look like roller bags. This one looks like a larger over the shoulder bag that has rollers. And that's exactly what it turned out to be. In fact, I just returned from a vacation where I hade both a Dell 700m and an Apple 12" PB in the same compartment, along with several other gadgets, accessories and files. Let's just say it was a working vacaion. It handled it all without a wimper. I was able to carry the bag when need be, roll it through airports and even tuck it UNDER the front seat on 4 different flights. I'm very impressed. Enough so that I ordered the larger overnighter version and the small shuttle for the quick trips. Normally, I'm not a huge fan of Kensington stuff but they sure got this right. Just make sure you look around a bit and get the right pricing.

Update: I agree with other reviewers. I recently bought another one of these and the bag has changed. It is still a pretty good bag but not the top notch, virtually perfect bag that I originally bought in 2005 and still have (the above review). On the newer bag, which I bought for my wife, I added Zipquix zipper pulls to make up for the simple, small and slippery metal tabs they now use. I'm now looking on Ebay hoping to score an old style bag for a backup to mine, which is still holding up pretty darn well.

I'm not sure I would not recommend the new bag. It is still good, just not as good. I would probably give it 4 stars now if reviewing it fresh and never having known how good they used to be. I think some of the other reviewer's disappointment is dismay over the cheapening of what was once the (arguably) best business roll-around bag in the market.

Buy Kensington 62348 Contour Roller Carrying Case Now

I'm surprised. Surprised at a high level of quality and functionality for what I consider a very reasonable price.

I had a rolling case that I'd considered pretty decent, but the handles were not sturdy enough. So I began the search for another, eventually looking at well over a dozen. I kept coming back to the Contour Roller, which seemed to offer everything that my previous case had, plus improvements in durability and ease of carry.

It turns out that the Contour Roller is far superior to my previous notebook case. It's sturdier; the handles are much better, and more sturdily attached; it has a surfeit of pockets inside, including three in the back section for peripherals and addons like a webcam, mouse, and charger. There's a bottle pocket on the outside, and the handle is long enough for me to pull the case without it creeping up on my heels (I'm 5-11).

I'm a college professor, and need a case for my computer plus class materials (it's my normal workday "briefcase"). It handles that role extremely well. I needed something to organize class materials, whiteboard markers, pens, calculator, the normal detritus of someone who needs materials handy. This has so many inside pockets I don't even have them all filled.

I was concerned that my standard-sized laptop (14") would swim around in the case, which is advertised as being large enough for a 17" computer. It turns out my computer fits extremely well, but there's still room for a larger one.

I had wondered if the wheels, which are as wide as can be, would interfere with moving the case around. Not so, as it turns out.

This is a perfect case for me. It rolls, is very easy to carry (whomever designed the handles should get a raise--there are two halves that nest together in an extremely secure arrangement), and the carry-strap contour system is terrific. As a bonus, I feel it protects my computer much better than my previous case.

I haven't taken it on a trip yet, but it'll be a great carry-on. There's plenty of room for a change of clothes plus toiletries, a secure place for my computer, and room for a few books, files, whatever.

At this price, it's worth every penny, and then some.

I glady bought this case to tote an HP ZD7000 (17") notebook. The telescopic handle eliminates drag and truly decreases the amount of energy needed to pull. I can actually pull this case with a pinky!

A very comfortable, padded arm strap and ergonomic case design make carrying the case easier than any other case I have used. Storage compartments were thoughtfully designed, as well as aesthetics.

This case provides so much relief that I don't hesitate to take my laptop everywhere. It feels good to spend money on a product that gives satisfaction. If your case/notebook is difficult to lug around, try the Kensington Contour Roller.

What a disappointment, 2006 vs. 2010.

I proudly owned this computer case since 2006.

Recently I bought a new case, the same model...

Unfortunately, circa 2010 it is a totally different carrying case.

1) Computer compartment size is smaller now.

Claimed Computer compartment 16.5"L X 13.0"H X 3.0"W

Actual Computer compartment 16.0"L X 11.5"H X 3.0"W

As end result, my 17'' notebook computer doesn't fit anymore.

2) What happened to a curvy telescopic handle?

New telescopic handle is made of cheaper aluminum than the original. Handle is no longer contoured (curvy), it is straight, and is very wobbly.

3) This rolling bag was perfect circa 2006. Now the quality is bad and the materials used are mind boggling.

4) Photos and Flash product tour show the original case as of 2006. The 2010 purchased case doesn't correspond them anymore.

Dakine Network Pack

I've owned this backpack for about a month and use it primarily for overnight business trips. The material appears to be very sturdy, and I like the design of the pockets. Most of the storage options actually seem useful (I've owned other bags with lots of useless pockets). For example, the three mesh pockets on the inside perfectly fit my cell phone charger and the two pieces of the power cord for my laptop. The product description suggests that there is a "water bottle pocket" but there are actually two -one on each side. The padded laptop pocket fits my 13" laptop with or without a sleeve on it.

One thing not apparent from the pictures or description is that there is a chest strap. I didn't like the look at first but actually found it to be quite helpful, especially when the bag is packed to the max. It's also adjustable (you can slide it up or down the shoulder straps), which is nice.

My only small gripe is that the bag itself is a little heavy in comparison to other backpacks I've previously owned, which doesn't help when you're carrying a laptop + books + water, etc. However, I think it's a reasonable tradeoff if the heavier material is indicative of greater durability.

I have really enjoyed this product the past few weeks. The straps have great padding, as well as the cross padding near the bottom.

I bought this backpack for daily commute and for international travel. It is very comfortable to wear on my back, even in very hot weather. All of the pockets are great the construction is very sturdy, and the fabric and zippers are very high in quality. I carry my ultrabook and all accessories in it, my ipad, ipod touch, and lots of office supplies in it at all times. There is still plenty of room for several books also on occasion. This is a great backpack for the business traveller and for the student. I'd buy it again. This is the best backpack I have ever owned. The only thing I added was clasps on each of the zippers to make it too difficult/inconvenient for people to open the zippers and take things out when the backpack is worn behind me in very crowded cities. This gave me added security and peace of mind for international, urban travel. Great backpack!

Caf in Paris 13.3-Inch Notebook/Laptop Sleeve for 13-Inch MacBook - Black

This sleeve is exactly what I wanted!! It's unique and I've never seen anyone else with one like it! It fits my macbook like a glove and I have one of the original white ones so its a little bigger than the new macbook pros. Also, in the picture the design kinda looks white but its really a shiny silver which is even better in my opinion! All in all, I'm very happy with this product and the price!

I love this product!! It's very lightweight while still protecting my computer, which fits perfectly inside. The design is really cute, and it was definitely worth what I paid for it. I would highly recommend it to anyone else with a 13" MacBook Air.

I ordered this to protect my 13" Macbook Air. I was worried about it fitting too loosely, but it fits PERFECTLY! Great price for what you end up getting. I wish the zipper were black instead of gray, but that's just a personal aesthetic preference of mine. This turned out to be a lot nicer than I was expecting =)

I got this because I have to wear a backpack around school and didn't have enough hands for an extra things to carry. I had to get this to be able to put my computer in my backpack without it getting scratched. It's great but it's a little big and stretches out-especially it you don't have a computer case.

Baggallini Messenger Bag

I was thrilled with this messenger bag. We took it to Disney. Passes fit nicely in the strap zippered compartment and were easy to reach at all times. The side compartment fit my cell phone which also was in easy reach but far enough away from the passes not to deactivate them. I did not need to carry a wallet as the inside front compartments held things nicely. I also appreciated the bottled water compartment on the side. It made water a quick reach. I love the main compartment, it is big enough to carry cameras, etc. Going to a theme park sometimes means carrying maps, etc. The zippered compartment to the back of the bag was perfect for this. The best part was that it was light and convenient and I could alternate between carrying it on my shoulder and across my chest for a messenger bag. In the past my neck, shoulder and back is always hurting at the theme parks by the end of the day. Didn't have this happen once during a 8 day trip! Love this bag and highly recommend it!

I got this bag as a gift and it's been my travel companion ever since. Its many compartments keep belongings organized and easily accessible, and I always know where everything is. Since compartments are all zippered, everything is secure. Another advantage is that it's discrete enough to double as a handbag (my sling bag is black), so no need to stuff extra weight in my suitcase. The nylon is rugged and resistant, zippers are good quality. I should know: I've been using this bag a lot and not being exactly kind to it.

I don't have any clanging zippers, but did find that the adjustable strap keeps slipping through the metal holder (I like the bag at waist length, close to the body, and the strap is long), perhaps because the nylon it is made of is so smooth. I solved this by getting a cheap metal barrette and closing it around the strap right below the holder (it works!). Another interesting aspect is that the bag is a lot more comfortable to carry when slung over the right shoulder -not made for lefties! I'm a lefty, but this doesn't bother me.

Buy Baggallini Messenger Bag Now

I did a lot of research before deciding to purchase a Baggallini messenger bag; I wanted something roomy enough to carry books and various other items, but not as big or cumbersome as a regular messenger bag. The Baggallini fits the bill in both style and function. Like another reviewer of the same bag, I find that the shoulder strap slips, so the bag hangs lower than it should on a petite frame like mine, but this is not really a problem. The Baggallini has a LOT of room for a bag its size; multiple pockets and places to stash things, and I especially love the shoulder strap mobile phone 'pocket'. I can easily carry three medium-sized books and still have plenty of space for my wallet and other sundry items. I really like the mesh interior (a bright orange-red in the espresso bag) because it allows you to find things without having to rummage around. I also like the snap-on key ring holder; a bonus for someone who is continually losing their keys! I don't find that the zipper tabs make much noise; or if they do, I don't notice it. I am so taken with this bag that I will probably order a couple of others in different colours. I feel terribly stylish when I wear it.

I bought this bag about two weeks ago in preparation for my trip to the UK at the end of December based on the great user reviews. I tested it out on a day trip to Disneyland a few days back and had a terrible time with it. My back was killing me! I realized that this bag was not made for short people at all! I adjusted the straps as tight as they could go, but the bag still hung way too low. I am 5'2" and it needs to be about 2 inches higher to fit perfectly and not cause any back pain. If you are taller this bag would be perfect. But if you are petite, I would recommend going to REI and testing out bags in person.

I would have rated this two stars, but customer service was great and they are refunding my money.

I bought this bag to replace the Ameribag I had purchased the year before. The Ameribag is advertised as being ergonomic, but I found that, being designed to be worn on one shoulder, it made my opposite shoulder rise to compensate for the weight of the bag. Over time, it caused me to walk crookedly, creating problems for my back. I decided to try the Baggalini Messenger Bagg so that I could sling it over one shoulder, but put the bulk of the bag in the front. My back pains have subsided, and I am walking much straighter now.

Baggallini Luggage Brussels Bag

I have about a half dozen Baggalini bags. This is the worst one. For starters it is the only one where the threading is coming loose. Too much material inside. It's ridiculous. Perhaps it needs to be sewn down better. Too many pockets as well. You need to keep a log of what is where. The size is great for travelling and it's attractive but I don't enjoy using it.

Some history: I have a convertible purse/backpack that I picked up many years ago, made by Eddie Bauer. I really love that bag, it's not high fashion but very handy for traveling and for Disneyland and other parks. Well...I tried to find another one like it, in beige...but E.B. no longer makes that bag (I've talked to the company twice). Looked for months on eBay, but no luck.

I read the reviews before I ordered this Baggallini bag, but decided to take a chance anyway. This was Plan A. It's nice...but the hardware overwhelms it. The turnlock is (IMHO) too large and clunky. I like the fabric, I like the color, I like the size...but I'm just not feelin' the love with these big old clasps and buckles. Even walked around the house with the bag on my shoulder, switched it to the backpack...still just couldn't embrace that hardware!

In case anyone is interested, I am trying two other convertible bags. Plan B is one made by Magellan's, the travel site, and it looks very similar in design to my beloved Eddie Bauer bag, but a tad bigger. And if that one doesn't work out...Plan C is a Mosey bag, a bit more expensive, but it gets *great* reviews.

I will post updates here as my search continues...I know there's a perfect bag out there for me somewhere!

Update 3/12: The "Plan B" bag arrived, the one by Magellan's. I guess I'm just really picky! This bag is deep and narrow, and I can just imagine peering down into the tunnel, rummaging around trying to find items. So this bag gets returned too. Just waiting on Plan C (the Mosey bag) now...

Update 3/19: My third choice (Plan C), the Mosey Convertible bag, just arrived and I love it! So if anyone else out there is looking for a cute purse that works well as a backpack, consider the Mosey Convertible. It was a bit pricier than my first two choices, but I'm very happy with it.

Great bag perfect for work as it replaces a purse and gadget bag. Lots of pockets make for great organization. Multiple handles (backpack, shoulder, crossbody) are so useful I particularly appreciate the backpack option when hands are full or while grocery shopping. This will be a great bag for vacation/traveling. May pick up a second in another color.

This bag is so nice! My daughter will take it with her on an extended stay in foreign lands. We saw some of the baggalinis in retail stores, but they weren't exactly what my daughter had in mind. We could see how durable and well made they were, so we continued to look online for them and for larger ones with more pockets. Amazon has them for less money than other sites and less than in the stores. And so many to choose from!

Excellent quality, roomy/organized interior and durable yet attractive fabric...I'd use this bag on a daily basis! Particularly fond of the graphite with magenta interior (makes finding things much easier than a black interior color).

Booq Viper Hybrid Sleeve for 15-Inch MacBook Pro Retina - Gray (VC15-GRY)

Great case, good materials, nice features, being both waterproof and a work-in case.

I, like one of the other reviewers, use this for my Macbook Pro with Retina display. It's great for this, and it doesn't feel too big for my computer.

My only complaints are that it does not allow the MagSafe 2 power adapter to be in-use while it's plugged in. Older MagSafe adapters might work because of their rounded profile. It also inhibits the use of the ports while it is in-case. Not deal-breakers for me, but it does diminish the work-in capability for me.

This is a killer case. I use it with my 15 inch retina macbook pro. This case looks great and gets a ton of compliments. Its really nice that this case allows you to use you computer without taking the laptop out of the bag. Ive had it for about two months, no complaints yet

Whatever this thing is made of smells horrible. Also, it is not custom made for the 15 in with retina. The packaging clearly says Macbook Pro only. There is minimal padding and it is a little too big for the retina.

Disney Cars 12" Backpack McQueen

The zipper seam is nice and wide for full access to the main compartment. Although small, a second zipper compartment on top makes for the perfect spot to hide the little treasures. Great for day trips and packing toys for plane trips or longer getaways.

my two year old boy loves it. the only concern is that this bag just have one zip, not as shown in the picture.

I bought this backpack in January, and by May I had to throw it out. It is very cute but poorly made. My 2-year-old toddler only used it once a week for preschool -and by "use", I mean carried it to school and back. So all in all he used it less than 20 times, and in that period the material ripped (2-inch hole) and the zipper on the small pocket broke.

I purchased this bag so that my son could have his own bag on our family vacation. Unfortunately, the bag (though "cute") was not useful for carrying many items. The bag was extremely small and lacked height and depth which is frustrating when trying to pack clothes, books or other various items that are useful during vacations or short trips away from home.

This bag could prove useful for small boys (under 4 yrs old) who want their own pack to feel like a "big boy". However, it is very ineffective for older boys (5 9) who want their own personal luggage.

HMK HM4PACKR Red Backcountry Pack

Bought the bag for a snowmaching trip in Alaska, Worked perfect! Has enough room for extra clothing, emergency supplies, and the option to hold shovels on either side of the bag. Has a pouch for 2 water bottles, and small little pouches that wrap around your obliques.

The bag is made of a super strong nylon, and is quite water resistant. Great bag for the price, and will last you many outings.

Great for snowmobiling. Fits everything we need in it! It even fits a shovel. It looks great and is a great size for a day out on the trails.

Sugarbooger Kiddie Play Back Pack, BowMeow

I bought this bag because of its unique design (I really don't like cartoon characters). I got it for my 18 month old's when she started daycare. I meant to put her blanket and her bear in it. However, the bag is too small for these two items even though the blanket is small and thin; and the bear is small (Ty Pluffies Pj Bear 9" Pink).

I bought my daughter this bag for carrying her diapers/cups to church and other places. It is compact but fits a ton! I had a couple gDiapers, a couple liners, a few gCloth, her wipes case and a small wetbag in there yesterday with no problem. The quality is amazing, the fabric is thick and the straps are sturdy! I expect to use this bag for a long time!
