I've owned my Combover for almost a year now. I originally bought it to use it for school but the laptop I ended up buying was a touch too big for it. Instead of using it as a school bag I ended up using it for an every day bag. I carried it almost every day for a year so I'm going to do a little pro and con thing for it!

Pros:
Durable
Tons of pockets to organize stuff with
Padded well for laptops
Comfortable, adjustable shoulder strap

Con:
Heavy, but this is because of the lining and bag being made of durable fabrics
Smallish area for laptops (I have a 17 inch, so I'm really disappointed in this)

I got this bag about six months ago and I use it four days a week to carry books and a laptop on campus. This bag is constructed very well out of soft, heavy canvas. It has a nice organizer for pens and a small mesh zippered pocket inside, and the two main compartments are sized just right for a couple of textbooks, notebooks, and a netbook. The elastic pocket on the end will fit a 20oz soft drink or an aluminum water bottle.

This is a good bag. The only issue is the bag doesn't accommodate 15.5 notebook well. The laptop section should be a bit larger.

Fantastic bag! It has a great unique design that works on left or right side, and the zipped main enclosure keeps everything secure inside. Lots of inner pockets on that "trapper keeper" style flap inside, which can be flipped up to load and unload and then tucked back inside. The pockets are great for your graphing calculator, pens, with a couple of zipped pouches for securing things like flash drives, CDs, pocket universe collections, mp3 players, etc. The main pouch has a separate padded laptop divider too.

I ordered the brown one, and the color is rich and even, just as pictured. The canvas is thick and sturdy and well stitched together. The strap can get VERY long or very short and is easy to adjust and wide enough that it's comfortable even with a heavy load. All the outside pockets are easily accessible even when carrying the bag on your shoulder. This is exactly the bag I needed for school, and it was worth every penny.

Very happy with this purchase! It's comfortable, looks great, and has plenty of internal pockets for storage of pens, drives, and other stuff that I end up carrying around. Outside pockets are great for quick access to phone and a water bottle. It has held up great for months of being carried around several days a week and multiple plane trips and never shows signs of getting dirty. Fits my HP tablet with sleeve perfectly.

I looked around for a stylish bag for some time. I came across this bag and I thought my search was over. However, Simple is a very lazy company. They will process your order when they deem it convenient. Other than that they will dodge your questions of a late order with excuses like, "our order are being delayed due to bad weather." Well I for one don't know if bad weather would stop you from charging a credit card. And even if they got past that arduous task of charging a credit card, it still wouldn't take a week to put a bag in a box and take it to the post office. And if you look at their rating on Amazon it is falling rapidly. So please, save yourself the time and the frustration and buy a bag from a different company.
