5.0 out of 5 stars If you like Messenger bags, this is one of the best, July 13, 2009

This review is from: Be.ez 100726 LA besace 15 Lime Drop Messenger Bag for Macbook Pro 15 (Grey / Lime) (Personal Computers)

(What's this?)

It's the little things that speak volumes about this bag's quality, like the zipper that's contoured so your fingers won't slip, the metal strap adjustors, and the multitude of nets and pockets set against a neon-green interior which makes everything easy to find.

There's cushioning on all sides of the laptop slot, even the top. No matter how you drop this bag you're covered.

My only real complaint is the color, I like my bags to stand out a bit more. I also have one silly complaint that I'm not including in my star review, as this messenger bag does everything you'd want a messenger bag to do, but after using this a week I went back to my backpack. Two shoulders are better than one.

3.0 out of 5 stars Functional, but not as nice as expected, May 31, 2009

This review is from: Be.ez 100726 LA besace 15 Lime Drop Messenger Bag for Macbook Pro 15 (Grey / Lime) (Personal Computers)

(What's this?)

I've always liked be.ez' bag design for the most part, and had somewhat high hopes for this messenger. Ultimately it doesn't amount to much more than what you'd expect from a standard laptop bag. If you'd like something slightly more creative, smaller and with its own set of problems, be.ez makes a vertical messenger that is, in my opinion, a little bit nicer (though has some comfort issues with the strap where this bag does not). Don't get me wrong--this bag is a nice bag, but you can get the same function out of pretty much anything else for less money. If you're paying for anything here, it's going to be style (and that assumes you like the style of this bag).

Let's start off with the good stuff first, though. You can fit up to a 15" laptop (though it was designed for the MacBook Pro, the space looks big enough to fit pretty much any 15" or smaller PC). There's a fair amount of room for various things, a couple of pockets here and there and a few pencil/pen holders. The interior is bright green, which is (in theory) going to help you see things inside the bag because the material is brightly colored and slightly reflective. The bag has a few outside pockets (but they're not really all that great because they either have the potential to create an uncomfortable lump in the bag or just store not much of anything at all). The construction of the bag is excellent. It is very well bad. Where I've seen other be.ez bags fail is the strap, but this one doesn't. While the strap is really nice and seatbelt-like (which scores some cool-factor points for me, at least) it's not very comfortable. Here, be.ez includes a nice cushion (which is removable if you don't want it) and it works very well. This bag can handle a reasonable amount of weight. If you're not going to put tons of little things in it, you should be in pretty good shape.

The problem for me, and I think the general problem nowadays, is that gadgets are plentiful and small. It makes organization pretty difficult when you have a bunch of tiny things in a big open space. This bag does not help that much because of a lack of pockets. A messenger bag that excels in this area is the Tenba messenger, and it can safely carry your (D)SLR and several lenses along with more than you'd realistically carry in this bag. I'd say it's the same size, but I have the small version (which is smaller than this bag and yet can carry more and do a better job of it) and so I don't know how the size of the larger version compares. To me, it's a no brainer: get the Tenba Messenger. However, if you're essentially carrying a couple of gadgets, a laptop, some pens and a bunch of paper this bag will do fine. Just don't expect it to handle a lot.

Ultimately it's not a bad bag. It looks nice, but it's just pretty average. I think the only place it really excels is in its style and its construction. Everything else is something you've seen and probably used before.

Amazon Verified Purchase

This review is from: Be.ez 100726 LA besace 15 Lime Drop Messenger Bag for Macbook Pro 15 (Grey / Lime) (Personal Computers)

I just got my LaBesace Lime Drop Bag. I like it but would never pay the $90 price they're selling for on Amazon now (Apple is asking $110). I bought mine in 06/2009 for $35 in a Lightning Deal. That's probably an appropriate price for what you get.

It's a nice, oddly shaped (but functional) messenger bag. As opposed to typical messenger bags, this does not have an expansive space inside. But it will carry your laptop in a padded section and your charger and other accessories in the 'bulge'. Obviously it won't make your bag deformed like a typical attache style bag since it already is. I would say at its widest, it's about 6".

There is a pocket for papers. and pockets inside for pens, credit cards, and one that looks like it would fit a passport nicely. Also inside is a zippered pouch that easy to get to. The inside of the flap also has a zippered pouch with see through material that covers most of the flap.

On the downside, the bag closes with a pair of zippers that run around the edge of the flap. You could carry the bag unzipped but there is only material covering the bottom 2-3"of the opening. Another drawback is the lack of a handle.

There are two pockets on the outside. One running diagonally across the flap, and one with a vertical zipper in the back that would be easy to forget that you put something in it. Neither of them have any depth. The front one is the size of most of the flap.

The bag is made of what appears to be a heavyweight cordura nylon. Open the flap and you're blasted by the day-glo lime green interior. It definitely is a fashion statement, both in shape and in color.

For the $35 I paid, I'm quite satisfied with this purchase.

Oh, one last thing. I use a 17" MacBook Pro. With a little effort I can just squeeze it in the padded section (fits easily if I put it in front of the padding). I would guess, depending on who stitched your bag, it might or might not fit your 17" MacBook
