Little Pricey, But Nice

There's a lot of good in this bag and only one bad, but I'll get to that in a bit. First, the good. Nicely constructed, seams are double sewn in many places. There's a tough vinyl bottom. All exterior zippers have string extensions. There's a sturdy handle on top (this is great, since a flimsy one would crimp your hand). The waist band helps lighten my brick heavy laptop (8 lbs!). The back padding is a nice touch, since it would be a bear to have a hard laptop against your back for a long period of time.

The laptop compartment just barely holds my 15" brick, I mean Dell. The placement is in the back, where it should be. Protected between my big gut and a pile of books. There's a cell phone holder, it's OK. Not sure where to place it, since the only two places to place it seem to be very high or very low on the shoulder pad.

So, what can I complain about? The shoulder straps a a little too thin. That's it, nothing too bad. . .

My comments to some complaints:
Too many zippers? Naw.

Does it need a crush proof section for the laptop? Nope. That would be too rigid for a backpack and would add weight.

Place the laptop in the front section? Would you place the heaviest item in your backpack in the front?

A closure for the laptop section to keep dust/dirt/paperclips out? That might be nice, but not necessary. I'm going to work, not the mountains.

No reflective trim? Buy some and tape it on if you want it. I don't!

I do not mean to offend any previous reviewers, just wanted to respond to some issues that they had.

The best laptop case I've owned

Upon my fifth business trip, overcoming hurdles at airport security, climbing onto courtesy buses, and walking what seemed like miles with the strap from my laptop case strangling me, I thought it was time for some ingenuity in design. This case fits the bill. I was a little apprehensive to purchase this on-line, so I ran through the brick and mortar stores for hours. I researched cases with handles and wheels, backpacks, and backpacks with wheels. This was the best design and most reasonably priced case I found.

First, the amazing comfort. Even when I stuffed the case with my laptop, tools, cables, and three liters of soda, this case balanced my load without strangling me, unlike attachÃ© style cases with a shoulder strap. My load felt 75% lighter and was easier to carry. Ample pockets, zippered mesh compartments, and a padded 14x20 (15" screen) laptop compartment. I'd suggest measuring your laptop dimensions to avoid disappointment.

It's built rugged and looks better than the photograph. Ample padding on the shoulder straps, which are adjustable, as well as a waist-level belt which I don't have much use for. And, a removable cellphone pocket which can be moved for left or right hand makes this the perfect accessory for the road warrior.

Too many zippers and pockets.

I noticed right away that this bag had a lot of pockets to put things in. Also, with all the pockets, a lot of zippers. It seems to be a pain to go through two levels of zippers to get to something. From the outside, the bag is quite busy with 5 zippered enclosures (more zippers on the inside).

The laptop sleeve does its job well. I can easily pack my laptop and a few books in the roomy bag. However, as the bag gets half full, you begin to realize how thin the shoulder straps are. It hardly gives any padding at all.

Not a bad buy, but not a great one either.
