I needed a new messenger type bag for my HP laptop and its accessories. The Rothco product offers stylish appearance with roomy and functional space to hold my electronic gear, adaptors, pencil bag, and zip notebook. This is a sleek bag. The only improvement I would make would be to add a proper wide set plastic clip to hold the flap to the bag. Velcro is nice, but can you trust it over time? This bag offers a great value, high degree of functionality, and can be used for other purposes, beyond that of transporting your beloved laptop.

Despite the fact that I thought this product would be a cool grey color, it was black. I really don't have a problem with black, and, thankfully, neither does my husband. (It was a gift for him.) I just expected grey. Other than that, this is a great bag. There's tons of room for my husband to put in all of his work gear and laptop. It's a very sturdy bag. There are two pockets on the outside of the bag. They're the small ones on the sides. There's one small zippered pocket and one huge compartment on the inside. My husband was thrilled with it.

Excellent product, only thing that is missing is a zipper compartment, else a very good product, can hold lot of stuff in the bag, and is very strong, very satisfied with the product.

I was hoping to get this bag in a dark gray, or black. Turned out they sent me the olive drab one. It appears the color you get may be random. Despite that, it is a nice, sturdy bag. I wouldn't call it a "laptop" bag because there seems to be no special accommodation for a laptop. It's simply just a bag that is big enough to hold a laptop. I have a 14 inch Asus Laptop I put in it. It's a bit loose in there, but it works well enough. I just have to be a little careful when I put it down because there is no padding or anything. The velcro that "holds" the main flap on is a joke. It does nothing. But it's not a huge deal, because a loose flap works well enough. Despite the drawbacks, this is a good looking bag that is cheap. I like it quite a bit.

The bag is not a laptop bag in any sense. The unit is simply a heavy ("military") fabric messenger bag. The product description simply adds the term "laptop" to the same bag sold elsewhere - which is a typical military-style fabric messenger bag. The unit is unpadded, contains no straps to secure a laptop unit, does not hold its form, and is unsuitable for laptop storage in nearly every aspect.

On the bright side it has a small zipper pouch sewn into the inner compartment of the bag that has its uses. Aesthetics are appreciated in the area of "Man Purse" accessories (Rugged, utilitarian look)

I will keep the unit because returning it is more of a hassle than it is worth. I intend to use it for books and papers but it's not very suitable for that either - it collapses under its own weight, won't stand upright, storage compartments are not suitable for pens and other office tools.

Caveat emptor.

I bought it to carry items to and from work. A rather disappointing investment - strong, but does not do a good job of staying closed.

I bought this bag because I needed something that could hold my computer. I don't bring my computer with me often, but I was able to help a friend out when it was raining one day. The fabric held up nicely.
I also like this bag because it's really cute. I've received lots of compliments on this :)

Works prettu well for rough usage, and has great compartments to store all your stuff in. Very convenient and easy to lug around as well. But unfortunately it looks much better on the web then it does in your hands. Not the best looking thing you'll ever find, but strong and convenient.

I wasn't sure how much I would like this in person after only seeing it online, but I love this bag! It's sturdy and attractive, and the adjustable shoulder strap is comfortable.

I took it out of the bag and started to check it out. I fastened the snap on the side pocket, but when I tried to unfasten it, the snap came right out of the canvas instead of unsnapping. The other side did the same thing. The bag still works I suppose, but I guess those snaps were just for looks. Now it has two pockets that won't close with holes in them. Mmmurh:(
