5.0 out of 5 stars Had one for over 2 years & it's holding up fine!, November 15, 2008

By	K. Palmer "artist/musician/geek" (NJ United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Two years ago, I purchased the earlier version here at Amazon: OGIO Hip Hop Laptop Bag in orange and, even tho I paid $65 for it at the time, it has been worth every penny. It has held up through a daily train and subway commute to NYC and is only showing only the slightest bit of wear on the outer flap after 2 years of brushing up against things. The only thing I see on this newer model is that is different from mine is the design of that flap, and, of course, the more muted color choices (mine is orange, which is still available as a Mozilla/Firefox branded version at their online store).

PRO:
-Many many places to organize your stuff! It actually took some trial and error before I'd settled on exactly where all my electronic toys would go, but it's been great to have a place for everything. The 3 inner pockets are perfect for a portable hard drive, mouse, cables, and adapters. The inside is divided into 2 sections, one of which fits my new 13.3" MacBook (which itself is in a padded sleeve) perfectly. The exterior pockets are handy for train passes, gum, pens, iPod... things you'd want to access quickly.

-TWO drink holders. I use one as a permanent place to keep my umbrella.

-Visually unique among the many many boring bags I see in the city. In 2 years of walking thru NYC, I've only seen 2 other people carrying this OGIO. If that's an important "feature" to you, it comes without detracting from the purely practical features. I do get alot of questions and comments about it, because it really stands out... but of course, mine IS orange, so YMMV!

-It seems pretty waterproof. I've never had any rain leak into it, and the (most exposed) outside side flap zipper is rubberized.

-Padded strap is very comfortable, but:

CON:
-The padded part of the strap is always slipping out of place off my shoulder-- not a deal-breaker for me, but occasionally annoying.

-The actual carrying handle is quite thin and uncomfortable, but I hardly ever carry it that way.

-On the two "ears" that connect the strap to the bag, one has a handy cellphone zippered pocket, but the other side doesn't. That non-pocket side only has a few fabric "notches," the purpose of which remains a mystery. If your man-bag carrying preference is to have the bag on your left side (as I prefer), then the cellphone pocket is behind you, so besides being inconvenient (for me), it also makes it a easy mark for pickpockets; a concern if you work in a big city. I find myself checking it often. Because of that, I sometimes wish the bag were less asymmetrical, tho that visual aesthetic is what drew me to it in the first place (see PRO comment above).

-It doesn't have any rubber feet on the bottom, so it can't stand up on it's own... it will flop over onto its side. But since the bottom fabric and stitching has held up well, it's only a minor quibble for me.

CONCLUSION:
Having gravitated to this product after wearing out several standard-issue laptop bags fairly quickly, this OGIO was a major improvement in functionality and durability for me. For the few extra dollars spent, it was well worth the (minor) investment, and I still use it --and enjoy it-- every day!

3.0 out of 5 stars Alright, October 20, 2008

By	Brock D. Boland (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews

This review is from: OGIO Hip Hop* Pack (Apparel)

First off, I'm very picky about my man-purses, so I might be more critical than most.

Pros:
- Dual water bottle pockets - this one is big
- Sturdy construction
- Good size
- Enough pockets that everything has its place
- My 13" Macbook fit nicely - not too much wiggle room to slide around in

Cons:
- The rectangular plastic ring that connects the strap to the bag always gets turned around sideways, so the strap can't easily be adjusted. I cut them out and replaced them with heavy duty carabiners.
- The strap is pretty long. I like my bags to rest higher on my back, and even adjusted to its shortest, the strap was too long for me.
- Bag doesn't really flex, so it won't fit like a Timbuk2 bag would - it's more rigid

With a better strap, this bag may well have been perfect. I'm hanging on to mine, just in case I come across a strap that can pull it all together.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Bag!, February 10, 2008

This bag is wonderful. It was hard to find a bag to fit my 17in laptop. I ordered 3 other bags that said they fit up to a 17in and had to send them all back. They didn't even come close. This bag, not only fits my laptop perfectly, it has tons of storage for notepads and other belongings without being bulky. I would recommend this bag to everyone. It's also a very professional bag, very attractive.
