Exceptional Quality [Posted on 2008-04-28] I LOVE the bag. I needed a way to transport my laptop to school and also to travel with ease and also make a fashion statement. The power cord, along with my binder fit with ease. My friends also love it. I am very pleased with the quality, durability and the space the bag has to offer.
Tight Fit for 17" computer - Great Bag [Posted on 2008-05-14] I purchased this bag for a friend who just bought a new laptop with a 17 inch screen. While the bag descripton says "15.5" the bag comes up when you search for 17" storage. . .and the computer *does* fit, but barely! Lots of pockets and "places" (I LOVE bags with "places") Great on organizational space. The padded computer sleeve is completely removable and secures the computer into it with an elastic/velcro closure. I purchased this with the matching computer "sleeve" in like-style hoping that it would fit inside the bag. It doesn't, but that's the only down-side I've found. Not your "normal looking" laptop case -- which is why I got it in the first place. Excellent bag!
Stylish, Yet Functional [Posted on 2008-06-04] This bag is incredibly stylish. Many have asked me where I got this bag and told me how much they love it. It stores my laptop well and the firm, padded compartment (which is removable) provides adequate protection for my laptop. It lacks compartments to organize accessories but this bag has enough room to store most of my laptop accessories. This was a great buy from Amazon.
nice design, poor quality, too big/stiff/bulky [Posted on 2008-08-22] This bag is very disappointing. I spent two weeks deciding whether or not to buy it because I needed a laptop bag, it had a nice design and was slightly cheaper than timbuk2 bags. It also looked like it had a lot of useful pockets.
My main disappointments are:
(1) Poor materials - it's all made of very cheap, synthetic materials. My friend just got a nice timbuk2 bag for slightly more an it's much better quality from a materials perspective.
(2) The size - maybe it's fine if you just want something pretty to carry around and throw in your car because you drive everywhere. But as someone who bikes frequently - it's stiff form and bulkiness is not conducive to biking. I think this bag looks too big on anyone who is not supermodel height.
(3) It's beautiful gold pattern has been stamped on and I'm sure that with time will be scratched off.
(4) My MacBook is literally swimming around in it - it's not well-designed for laptop safety. I also have a dell 15.4 inch and it swims around too.
Maybe my expectations are too high - I expect a durable product that I will have for the next 20 years. The cool design I thought would simply be icing on top.
I wish the amazon website had better descriptions of the products they advertise - I'm very disappointed in both this bag and the overall amazon site.
An overall outstanding bag [Posted on 2008-08-24] My friend bought this bag 10 months ago, and she highly recommended that I buy this bag. After those 10 months the pattern is still as pronounced as ever. No flaking or fading whatsoever. The material is very durable and is high-quality for such a price.
I put a bunch of stuff into this bag, notebooks, laptop, pens, wallet, cell phone, whatever, and it holds up. The shoulder pad on the strap is a nice touch; it sits comfortably on my shoulder. Also I carry this bag all around school and it never gets uncomfortable. Well, it gets heavy, but only because of the junk I put in.
I've had this bag for only a short time, but I'm incredibly happy with it. Plus it's really really stylish. I went to Vancouver carrying this bag and I've gotten numerous positive comments and questions about where to buy this bag.
All in all, this is one of the best bags I've ever used, and I would highly recommend this to all of my friends, family, maybe even the occasional stranger on the street.
