5.0 out of 5 stars Green backpack a great fit for casual office/17" notebook., May 16, 2008

At about 11 pounds (5kg) a 17" Notebook and gear can add up to a pain in the....back. Consequently, I had my heart set on a backpack to balance the load. After two unsuccessful tries with other bags, this casual canvas number caught my eye. This one is lightweight, yet seems extremely durable (I've had it almost one month at this writing).
One note: the color is a more subtle, duskier, more olive green than either my home or work computer monitors display....but that was a good thing for me. The screened pattern is also more subtle and adds a touch of contemporary style that further differentiates this bag from the pack of unimpressive nylon bags that make up the bulk of offerings in this price range.
Most important, my notebook fits perfectly in an appropriately protected space that's just right for my HP dv9700. A 15.4" screen would likely be right at home too, though I notice several backpack sizes are available.
Both shoulder straps and flap are highly adjustable to ensure a comfortable carry.
Zippered pockets are convenient and well positioned with one outside on the flap, and two more under the flap. I had no trouble fitting accessories such as power adaptors, with room to spare for the vintage paper binder I often carry.
Overall, this case easily exceeded my expectations. Not sure I'd carry it when wearing a suit, but it's perfect for the 99.5% of the time when I don't. Would buy again, and recommend strongly, especialy to beer drinkers, who will find the built in bottle opener very handy.

5.0 out of 5 stars When there are no parking spots at school I can just chuck my car into this bag., February 5, 2009

By	Meghan Mann (Virginia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Caselogic SNBP-17 17-Inch Canvas Lifestyle Backpack (Green) (Electronics)

I found this case at the end of a long search for a durable, budget-priced bag that would hold my gigantic laptop with room for my textbooks and notepads. This bag definitely fits the bill. Listen, this thing is titanic. I mean monstrously, stupendously big. I'm afraid to leave my computer in it for long periods of time because I'm worried the bag might eat it. If you put a regular 15-inch laptop in this behemoth it's going to be rattling around in there all unprotected-like, so those who don't own 17-inchers might want to consider this similar bag, also by Caselogic.

There are four extra compartments on the bag, including an external pouch on the flap where you can put your power brick. My only complaint is that there are no "organizer" pockets except one space for an ID badge or credit card. Pens, flash drives, chapstick and other small items will be forever lost in this bag if you don't use some sort of pencil case to keep them together.

The bottle opener is effective and classy; you would not necessarily surmise its true purpose at first glance. So far I haven't used it, since I don't often find myself needing to open bottles on campus, but I eagerly await the day that someone says, "I can't open this beer" and I'll get to reply, "here, use my backpack."

The bottom line is that this bag is probably the most durable, attractive and comfortable thing you will find to schlep your impractically huge computer around campus in, at least in this price bracket. It's probably going to outlast your laptop, it's big enough to use as an overnight bag, and it opens bottles (just think how much you'll save on dental work). Come on.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Bag, July 2, 2008

Looked and looked and bought and sent back many a bag before I found a bag that would fit my over-sized 17 inch computer. I love this bag and would highly recommend it. It is very roomy. There is enough room for plugs and extra plugs, earphones, a laptop cooling base and folders etc.... The color is very urban and my students love it. I am extremely satisfied!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
