Customer Review: Close but no cigar
Summary: 4 Stars
I have been on an endless quest to find my ideal laptop bag since the 90's. I get a new laptop every year or so, and change bags more often than that. My last one, an STB bag, made it about two months before I tried this one.
Pros: Styling is nice, the shoulder strap grips well for me despite having no pad or any material there to give it extra grip (one of the negatives), easy to get the laptop in and out, an amazing amount of storage space and options inside. Light weight, decent padding. Easy "port" on side for headphones for people who would listen to music from a device inside while carrying it.
Cons: No pad for the shoulder strap, and strap cannot pivot where it joins the bag to help easily untwist it. Some awkwardly placed storage pockets inside, make it difficult to arrange some things since they'd "hit" each other as they line up opposite. Very weird placement for the small vertical zipper on the outside, since it opens into a large pocket that takes up a great deal of the surface area of the outside of the bag, but the zippered opening is relatively small, so awkward to get some things in and out of there. Won't stand upright.
Despite the cons, this one really is one of the better ones I've had. Decent centerline carrying handle, unlike my STB, which had a tiny little canvas "handle" that was literally about an inch in size, enough to slip two fingers through to hook to carry, and was on one side of the bag, not offset, so it would not balance, so the bag tilted and made a very awkward carry. Would've been more usable as a handle though if there had been an option to remove the strap altogether. I was amazed at how deep the outer pocket on the "inner side" (side against you as you carry it with the strap) was. I have been used to having some papers sticking out the top of my STB bag, this one fits 8.5x11 papers either portrait or landscape without having them protrude past the top.
There was a large enough inner pocket for my ipad, and the zipper is just about invisible when zipped shut, just has material covering it. And it's shaped so that it protrudes a bit, so there's actually more space in there than you would think. When I first unpacked the bag this was replacing and had everything laid out on the floor in front of me, I didn't think I was going to find an acceptable solution to getting it all inside without problems fitting things and keeping stuff from bashing around against the ipad and such. But it worked out well anyway.
Two pen sleeves inside, one for my stylus, other for a pen, but I wish there were a couple more, since I also like to carry a small multi screwdriver that used to fit well in my previous bags. But that and a few other "awkward" things ended up going inside that awkward outer pocket.
The portable device sized pockets, for things like digital cameras or phones, are well placed so there is nothing that will really come up against them.
The padding isn't quite as thick and protective as it was in the STB bag, but i'm careful with the bags anyway so i don't feel the loss.
All in all, nice little "bag of holding" that can fit more things than you'd expect.
