5.0 out of 5 stars Quality Product, December 4, 2008

This is a very nice, well designed book bag. The main Laptop compartment is very well padded and it has a strap on the inside to keep the laptop securely in place. The middle compartment has two dividers inside of it to help organize your things. The front pocket doesn't really have enough space to store anything major, but the Cell phone pocket is very convenient.

The picture is somewhat misleading to me. I thought it would be a lot wider than it is. Tye size is not too large, big enough for any student. It has enough pockets to store loads of extra things, especially small, easy-to-lose things.

The outside is very durable. I would bet you could take a knife to it and it wouldn't rip.(Not a guarantee, just speculation). All in all, a very dependable, sturdy, stylish back pack.

*EDIT* I tried this yesterday, and my Xbox 360 fit in the Laptop padded compartment, if that gives you an idea.

5.0 out of 5 stars A really, really great bag, December 8, 2008

Cons - does not have a water bottle pocket on the side, as it does in the picture. It has a zipper/web pocket on each side, but no bottle I know of will stay there reliably. I put other things in these pockets.

Pros - everything else. Lots of pockets to organize stuff. It can hold far more that I imagined, but still be easy on the back/shoulders. Looks terrific, understated.

I was afraid to buy a bag without actually seeing it, but after reading reviews I decided to take a chance. I'm so glad I did.

UPDATE 4 months later -- Love the bag more every day. I am shocked at how much I can pack in when I need to, and happy how light it is with I don't. There is one area I personally would redesign, but considering the hundreds of other details that contribute to the usability, looks, quality, and durability, I have no complaints. I'm happy with it every day I use it, which is almost every day.

UPDATE some weeks later --- Fell down many stairs. The backpack and stuff I had in it saved my entire back from injury and still looks new. The rest of me is still recovering.

Nice-looking backpack.
The padding for the laptop is thick, and if you like a zillion compartments, pockets and organizers like I do, you will definitely love this backpack.
After seeing mine, my son and my husband each bought one. It's nice as a piece of carry-on luggage that can hold your laptop and still have room to carry plenty of other things.

The only drawback I can think of is that it is a bit on the heavy side.
