(What's this?)
I have a nubmer of different laptop bags that fit my 15" MacBook Pro, most of which are made by Timbuk2. I have both the messenger style and a backpack style, which Thule also makes.
The Thule messenger bag is very stylish. It's been crafted with an eye toward design, and that much is obvious in just looking at it. It's a beautiful bag made with heavy-duty quality materials. I like that this bag is an understated black--it looks dressier than its Timbuk2 counterpart. The two problems I have with the Thule bag are the lack of pocket organization and the buckles used to close the bag. Both of these issues aren't a problem for the Timbuk2 bags I own.
At first glance, this bag looks well organized. A slightly padded rear compartment with a velcro latch houses your laptop. Although the padding is not excessive, I don't have any qualms about it. I feel my laptop is safe enough in there as long as I don't throw it around--pretty much like any other laptop bag you might find. On the other side of this zippered compartment is a mesh pocket that might be used for folders or documents. Under the main flap is a thin zippered pocket with a soft interior where you might put CDs or DVDs. There's a phone holster with a velcro strap specificially for iPhone-type devices, and two other pockets that are very slim. I can't fathom what one might put in these pockets... business cards? Next to them is a single pen holster. I carry at least four or five pens with me at all times, so this is a gross oversight in my opinion! Inside the main compartment is a zippered mesh interior pocket and the main compartment. Normally, I put my notebooks and books, iPad, etc. in the main compartment, but I haven't figured out what to put in the two zippered compartments. They aren't deep or wide enough to hold power cables or chargers, so those have to go in the main compartment. The design is just a little awkward when it comes to organization and I'm not certain I like it.
While the buckle closures are certainly well made and nice looking, they are just too awkward to close on the fly. Heaven forbid you have to open your bag and close it in a hurry, because you simply cannot close the buckles without putting the bag down and manually sliding the metal hooks into the extremely tiny loops of webbing. I much prefer Timbuk2's quick release buckles for ease of use, or even SealLine's stretch hook closure. Thule's buckles look nice, but man, they are a pain! Not to mention they do a great job of scratching the paint when you put the bag in the car...
Also, because it doesn't have a cross strap, you can forget about riding your bike with this over one shoulder. It's made for casual use, not commuting, which is a shame, because it looks like the interior is nearly waterproof!
The one other nice addition to this bag, outside of the travel-friendly laptop compartment, is the grab handle sewn into the bag. It's sometimes more convenient to pick the bag up by a shorter handle rather than the long strap. I do like this bag, and I'll undoubtedly continue to use it, but the detractors make it more of a casual messenger bag than an actual functional one.

(What's this?)
I am absolutely in love with this computer bag! I'm suprised to say this because for a long time I went through various computer bags, always issued by my employer. I always found them cumbersome and bulky so eventually I'd ditch them and stash my latop in a totebag instead, but this is one bag I could see myself using until it wears out!
Overall, it's a good sized bag that holds quite a few items, but is not so big that it is bulky or unmanageable. It has a special laptop compartment that is TSA compatible (so you won't have to remove your laptop from the bag) and is also well padded. I LOVE this feature because it has made going through security a breeze.
In addition, it also has a very roomy main pocket. I've sometimes stashed a second laptop in there as well as a good sized binder and both have fit comfortably. It also has several smaller pockets including a padded one that fits my iPhone perfectly (even with a thick plastic case on). I especially love that this pocket has a velcro strap on it to keep my phone in place. After having had my phone slide out of my bag several times while on a plane I appreciate knowing that it is always secure.
The only thing I dislike is the pass-through luggage sleeve on the outside. Not only do I never use it, but when I first got the bag I made the mistake of thinking it was a pocket so I could have easily lost something.
Overall though this is a fantastic bag. I love that it has room for everything I need when I travel, but at the same time doesn't weigh me down too much. And since I am a petite woman (5'2") that's saying a lot. I especially appreciate its durability. One time when I was toting the bag I tripped and fell and yet, although I scraped my hand and had a whole in my pants, all of the stuff in my bag (laptop included) were perfect without a single scratch. The bag itself also showed no wear from the fall.

Amazon Verified Purchase
I was looking for a messenger bag for my laptop, something that would hold up over time. I have loved other Thule products and thought this would be the perfect bag. When I received it, everything fit wonderfully, it had good craftsmanship, and looked sturdy. Unfortunately, there is one fatal flaw with the design: the laptop sleeve area is on the outside/back of the bag. So when the bag fell off of a chair with the laptop inside, there was ZERO protection for it. Had they moved the laptop area to the opposite side of the same pocket, there would have been considerably more protection for the laptop in case something fell on the bag or if the bag were to fall. I am really careful with my laptop, and so I was really frustrated when this happened. Because of this, I would not recommend this product if you want your laptop to have any protection whatsoever.

Nice bag but is too big
It's a nice bag but it's too big to be a messenger bag. I made a big mistake buying this bag.

Works for me
This Thule laptop messenger bag suits my needs. I actually have an Asus notebook with a 15.6" screen, so the fit in the sleeve is a bit snug, as this bag was designed for a 15. Read more
