This bag goes with me everyday. It carries my laptop, business cards and several magazines and files. Everything fits well if you pack properly. The quality is solid and it's built very well. The only 2 complaints I have are as follows:

- The leather gets worn around the edges but I think that's to be expected with as much use as I put it through
- Where the strap attaches to the bag (metal hooks and eyelets) it makes a very annoying squeaking sound when I walk. It's happened since day one, I've yet to try to fix it though, it may be simple.

All in all, it's a solid bag for the price - you couldn't go wrong.

The bag is made from leather of decent quality and has a nice, neat, semiformal appearance. My laptop has a 15.6'' screen and it fits nicely into the compartment. The padding in this compartment is minimal compared to other bags I've seen, but I am confident in it and I don't worry about it. Besides, the bag also has hard and rigid edges which provide extra protection. There is modest space for extra stuff, but I manage to fit in several files, my power adapter, and one or two smallish books. The shoulder strap is made of strong woven material (not leather) and has a nice nonslip shoulder pad. All in all I really like the bag.

I purchased this to replace a Kenneth Cole that busted at the shoulder strap connection after 4 years. This was probably $50 less and is a much nicer bad in my opinion. It doesn't look like it would suffer from the same issue. Nice leather and styling. Very happy.

I bought this bag to carry a 17.3" widescreen HP Pavilion dv7 laptop. It is probably the smallest case you can squeeze the thing into, the laptop fits very tight in both width and height. It fits, though, and the bag does not lose the look with it inside. There's just no space left to grab the laptop when I pull it out, extra half an inch definitely would not hurt.
The work and material quality is great. The case is rather lightweight itself, its top is strong and does not bend when the case is reasonably heavy loaded.
The laptop compartment does not offer much protection, the padding inside is thinner than in most sleeves. The interior lining is made of soft cloth. It will prevent scratches, but hardly anything else.
The front compartment is not padded. It provides just enough space to carry a power adapter, mouse, some papers, magazines and occasionally a large book. There are separate pockets for a PDA, CD sleeves, and pens.
Overall, a great case for its price. Five stars.

I LIKE THIS BRIEF CASE MADE OF REAL GOOD QUALITY LEATHER, VERY LIGHT AND LOOKS PROFESIONAL, I WILL USE IT TO TRAVEL OVERSEAS AND ALSO FOR TAKING DIFF IMPORTANT DOCUMENT PLACE TO PLACE

I have a 17 inch Mac and was looking for briefcase for it -- I was actually positively surprised when I received this -- it looks great - space is very good and very elegant - just have for 1 day - but very satisfied - happy with the purchase - recommend.
