Lovely
Got this for my boyfriend. He picked it and told me he didnt care about the orange interior (color he hates) because the case is ecofriendly.

Good for looks and great if not too much for carrying
This is a great and very good looking product but the only bad this is that it’s get heavy just with you laptop and a book inside.

This product has a very cool design, that’s what caught my attention. Although $60 is a too much for retail price, I’m glad I got mine through Amazon. The color on the exterior and interior are more pale than in pic seen in most online store. Now, the most important thing I’m concern about the bag is the plastic clip on the strap. It doesn’t look very “strong”, taking into consideration it’s the only thing that keep the bag on your shoulder or on the floor. The clip is made of very thin plastic and the hook in the strap is so little (I think I can yank it apart if I apply a little force, but I’m not about to try it out >__<). I’m still a little hesitated to put my laptop inside and walk around campus.

The bag is built well as far as I can tell. It has held up no problem to 2 months of abuse. It holds a fair amount of things. I can get my laptop, big textbook and two spiral paper notebooks in it pretty easily. The only problem is is that the one shoulder design really puts a lot of stress on your shoulder especially well riding a bike with it on. The style is ok, it looks pretty good but can appear really “boxy” at times if it is full. For those who don’t need to ride a bike with it and can deal with the shoulder stress it is a good backpack, otherwise I would look elsewhere.

I didn’t even use it
This bag would have been great for me except it was far larger than I anticipated and I sent it back.

Amazingly fast
Quick delivery. Received it in 2 days. Extremely useful since it just fits the laptop and a few accessories, which is exactly what I wanted.

This bag is great and slim and holds more than it appears.

My warning to you is to make sure that you have the plastic clips fastened correctly. There have been times when I put them together upside down and the bag fell off carrying an expensive MacBook Pro inside. Luckily those MacBook Pros are built fairly well and only took a few minor dents.

For you single people, it's a decent conversation starter (how I met a good friend of mine). This girl asked me where I got my bag because it is very unique looking and I got talking to her about how it environmentally friendly it is. She was really interested in it, but we started talking about other things and now we hang out every so often.

Overall the bag is great and works great for protecting your computer in rain because the zipper is on the side instead of on top where rain can leak in. If you're in a crowded metro train or bus, you can leave it on without having to worry about hitting another person in the face if they're sitting down. The back pouch can hold just about anything you need to go with you and your computer. That little zip up pouch on the strap is quite handy for holding my cell phone or my metro pass. The orange zip pocket on the back is great for storing thumb drives, sharpies, and other small things that quick access is needed for.

The inside cavity is innovative in that it has a soft cushy area to hold your computer and will soften the blow when you set your bag down. There's a pocket on the in side of the flap that is excellent for holding power bricks and cables.

It's only downside is if you have a ton of books to carry across campus, this bag might be able to do it, but you're really straining your shoulder. But by itself, it is light and easy to carry around.

I'd recommend this if all you're going to carry is your laptop, a couple electronic devices, some school supplies, and maybe your lunch.
