5.0 out of 5 stars Lightweight but with plenty of utility, January 26, 2008

By	James W. Jordan - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I originally went looking for a neoprene case for my laptop to make it easier to lug back and forth from work. However, I'm glad that I stumbled across a recommendation about this bag somewhere on a web user forum, because this bag is excellent. It provided me all the weight savings I was looking for, without forcing me to make compromises about storage pockets or a shoulder strap, and it did it all without costing an arm and a leg. The bag is very lightweight; it weighs next to nothing on its own (though obviously a bit more than a plain neoprene case with only a handle and no pockets). It fits my MacBook Pro perfectly, and the included power supply carrying case is a nice touch. Inside the bag, there are plenty of pockets for pens, business cards, USB flash drives, etc. I can fairly easily carry a couple of spiral-bound notebooks with my laptop and power cord, but the bag really isn't meant to carry tons of stuff. The point I want to make is that if you want to carry your laptop *and* accessories, you can, which is more than can be said of most lightweight slim bags. The shoulder strap is fairly comfortable, and padded, and has a standard clip to facilitate easier removing of the bag rather than pulling it over your head. Unfortunately, the included pocket on the strap is too tight for me to put my iPhone in it, and I think the only thing that would fit comfortably is a RAZR or something smaller. I will point out that I've never had a bag fit me quite so nicely. I honestly think I could jog somewhere with my laptop on my back, and not feel awkward that I'm struggling to keep the bag on my back. I do agree with some of the other reviewers that there were a few stray threads here and there, but nothing I would consider to be a problem, and at $44, I'm willing to overlook that regardless. Overall, in my opinion, this bag rocks, and I wish it were easier to find in stores so that more people would know about it. You should get this bag if you're looking for a lightweight bag with room for a few extra things and like the idea of a sling strap.

4.0 out of 5 stars Just right....trendy and well made. , September 5, 2007

By	B. Little (Hamden CT, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Exactly what it should be, a stylish, padded shoulder-tote for a laptop. Comes with several small but useful inner pockets and a neat little bag to put the AC adaptor in.

But the the bag is not really designed for too much more than laptop and adaptor. You can fit in a mouse and some papers, but a real backpack or large laptop bag would be better if you need to carry a lot of stuff. Because it's only got one strap, a heavy load could cause some backstrain if you are prone to that. Consider it a more a portable bag for "quick-toting".

4.0 out of 5 stars Stylish yet functional, October 29, 2007

By	Kyle G. Manson "kgmanson" (NYC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was surprised at how big this bag actually is-- the earlier reviews and the picture here don't give it justice. It is more than ample to fit my 15.4" laptop, a notebook, and several smaller items, including the AC cord, an mp3 player, etc. There is even a small pocket on the strap to put your cards in (a plus for those of us in the city who carry around subway cards).

The quality is great for a $30 bag, and it's very attractive. I do wish there had been better pictures here though-- I thought the brown would be darker and the blue a bit bluer (it's very faded on my bag), making it a little girly for my taste. I would probably go with the black/cabaret version if I had to change anything. However, color aside, this is one great bag.
