5.0 out of 5 stars My comprehensive review, May 9, 2009
This review is from: Targus TBB001US Element Convertible Notebook Case Fits up to 15.4-Inch Screens (Black) (Personal Computers)
I've had this backpack for a few months now, so I'll give my input.

I'll start with the goods. The backpack is very compact, which I like a lot. The slots are very straight. Unlike a regular backpack, I feel like I can just slip papers into the flaps without the papers being crumpled. The material used is very strong, much stronger than the Targus TXL I previously had in my opinion. The laptop padding is very well built. However, because of this, it feels a bit bulky to be using it as a strap. I'm not sure if it is reasonable to expect a bag-like strapped backpack with secure padding for a laptop to be used on the arm with a single strap though. I use it as a backpack for this reason and/or briefcase.

The straps feel a little thinner than the thicker straps on normal backpacks. It's adequate I would say, as long as it doesn't break off. One of the side storage has magnetic clasps so you can easily open it for pencils and pens. There are a lot of pockets, which is very useful; there are two on the right side (one for the mp3 player/walkman and one small compartment above it with a net, which I use for mini-staplers and paper clips) and on the left, a magnetic clamped flat compartment for pencils as mentioned earlier. The water bottle hold (behind a zipper) on the left side protrudes in an awkward looking fashion. I don't use the water bottle hold so it does not really apply to me. There are three zipper compartments in the front, 2 regular holds on the flap and one generally large zipper behind the flap for CDs, nets for pencils, business cards, etc.

On the outermost flap (the bigger covering) there is another bigger compartment for 'quick' storage and a small, comfortable clothed compartment if you are the type that likes a place to quickly put away and retrieve pencils. The squarish frame of the backpack is what I like the most. It sits well on hard floor and generally looks much more organized than standard backpacks.

There are only some things that may irk me at times. The first has to do with the straps on the backpack. To make it as versatile as it is and as durable while in 'backpack mode,' the straps are connected using two metal clamps. The problem here is that when you walk with the backpack strapped on your back, it constantly makes a jingling noise as if you are carrying cat-bells like the balls on a cat collar. It is somewhat more noticeable in a library or some other quiet place.

While this next part may be just me, I am not too fond of having the clip on the bottom of the large flap. All the way on the bottom, simply because when I want to 'shut' my backpack, I have to bend all the way down to the floor to do it, literally. I realize this was how the backpack was designed and other flap backpacks are similar, so I'm not too taken on this. I am just more used to having the zipper on a backpack on top for easier closing so this may be something I have to get used to.

I think that's all there is to say about this backpack. I didn't find the cons urgent enough to dock any points from this otherwise well built backpack. As far as any of the available backpacks go, I don't see myself preferring any others.

5.0 out of 5 stars Messenger Bag, March 27, 2007

This review is from: Targus TBB001US Element Convertible Notebook Case Fits up to 15.4-Inch Screens (Black) (Personal Computers)
This bag is a perfect briefcase for going to work on the train, bus, walking and riding bike. I have to do them all and this sturdy case has pockets to store train passes and Ipod and other various items without having to open the main flap. Case is sturdy and will probably last a long time. The fact that I can carry it like a briefcase by hand or strap it on my back like a backpack while riding a bike makes this case very versatile. Because it's not the size of a daypack, I'm disciplined not to carry too much stuff, which I probably don't need to lug around anyway.

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT CASE!!!, May 21, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Targus TBB001US Element Convertible Notebook Case Fits up to 15.4-Inch Screens (Black) (Personal Computers)
This is the third bag i have bought. What a workhorse it is.
It holds for me, three computers, three ipods, two power supplies, numerous usb keys, microphone, iphone charger, electric shaver, tooth brush& MUCH much more.
If the airlines ever made me weigh this bag, i'd be in trouble. ***** for sure!
