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

I just returned yesterday from my basi trip with this backpack. Over one week, I took this bag on 6 plane trips, 2 bus rides, 1 taxi ride, 1 shuttle ride, and multiple car rides. I may say that it is unquestionably worth it is price... and then some. It's ridiculously lasting (and comfortable!), and with a 3-year warranty, I don't think you could go faulty with this bag. A definitive must-have for those on the go! Highly recommended.

Still loving this backpack, but I thought it would be good if I noted one downside that I hadn't expected. I had it out the other day in a heavy rain for the basi time. I wasn't actually out in the rain that long, but it was evident that this bag isn't very water proof. A book and a lot of papers got reasonably wet, and I'm glad that my laptop wasn't in there at the time.

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

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