> 3 daySo I wanted to get some mileage on this bag before posting my review. I have had this bag now for almost 6 months and have used it regularly. I like the overall design of the bag, it has held up nicely, wasnt super expensive and took the weight of a backpack off my back (so a plus for those of us who have back issues). It has 3 zippered sections to put your things in. The first zippered section on the front has 2 pen pockets, 2 small pockets you can put pens or other things in, 4 business card pockets with a pocket the runs behind the business cards and 2 larger pockets that run horizontal behind all of that. (Ill include pictures to help show what I am saying) The 2nd section has a laptop pouch. I measured my laptop and its length is 15 inches and is 10 inches wide/tall when in pouch, but it is a 17 inch screen (horizontal measurement of laptop for those who dont know). The pouch is has a little bit of padding on the front and back, so your laptop is safe there. The bottom seems okay as well and my computer has not suffered any damage, but for some who are more particular about their tech, you may want just a thin layer of foam or other cushioning (depending on the size of the laptop, you may can it in a sleeve into the pouch). There is also room to put some files or a binder in this section as well. The last section is large enough to fit a 3 ring binder in, though you might fit a larger one if you dont have anything in the center section. The inside measurements are 13 inches tall from bottom to under the zipper and 15 inches wide from inside corner to inside corner. The dimensions listed in the product description say 17 (tall) x 14.5 (long) x 7.5 (wide) Moving along to the wheels and handles. The wheels seem pretty sturdy so far and I have not had any trouble from them. They also are not swivel, so this may be a no go for someone looking for a bag with swivel wheels. The cloth handle is sturdy and nice to have when having to lift the bag out of your vehicle or going up stairs. The extended handle has a little loose feeling (and may feel cheap if you have owned a more expensive bag, but from my understanding of others reviews of more expensive bags, this seems to be a common complaint about the extend handles), but from my experience with it, it has served me well and has not given me any trouble. Also I am 55 and the handle is just right. My supervisor has the same bag and he is probably around 65 and the handle extends out far enough for him too.

> 3 dayI had been using Samsonite rolling laptop cases for a number of years, but inevitably they always suffered problems with their zippers, making it very difficult (if not impossible) to close the case. Since I was on a budget and didnt want to spend upwards of $100 on a new case, I decided to give this particular bag a try. And, for the most part, after a month of usage, I really like it... though there are some minor adjustments Id like to see in future versions of this product. First, the details: I travel with a thinner Hewlett-Packard laptop, anywhere from one to four external hard drives, and all the cables and plugs needed for these devices. My previous case allowed me to travel with a second laptop (which Ive since retired from active duty) and its power supply - so the Samsonite case, already fairly bulky, tended to get very heavy, very quickly. I like the lightweight feel to this case - it doesnt feel cheaply made, and it fits everything I need with a little room to spare! It is much easier to maneuver than the Samsonite case was - its not as awkward when making turns. So far, Ive had no problem with the wheels - something another reviewer mentioned - and I give this case daily use across parking lots. There are only two things I would change about this case. First, Id make the partition inside go completely to the bottom of the case, so things cant shift from one side to the other. Often, I find cables have slid through the opening at the bottom into the portion of the bag I keep my hard drives in. And, Im not terribly crazy that you have to loop the carrying handles through the retractable handle when you want to seal up the case to travel. However, these are minor points, and would not keep me from buying this bag again. Its too early for me to tell whether this case will stand up to all of the abuse that the Samsonite cases did - I went through a case every three years - but even if this particular case only lasts me 12 to 18 months, it still will have essentially paid for itself. Overall, Im very satisfied with this item, and while it might not be particularly designed for older, more bulky laptops, it serves my purposes perfectly.

Greater than one weekyes you get what you pay for....this was inexpensive and it shows in the design and construction The lightweight zipper I wont expect to last very long It really needs more pockets and easily accessible ones The pull out handle feels flimsy and the carry handle is akward to use as it flops over the back and is not one padded strap rather 2 sling type straps... It will do for now but I expect to need a new one sooner than expected... Sorry for the bad review but you asked for honesty

> 3 dayI bought this bag to take my laptop, chargers, and notebooks along on vacation. It fits under the smallest of airplane seats and wheels silently and smoothly. The padding isnt as thick as some other bags I had in the past, although for this price it seemed sufficient. Also, the handle when fully extended isnt super sturdy, but it worked fine for my purposes. The case has a small pocket in front that I used for charging cables, as well as two larger compartments, one of which has a Velcro strap to keep a laptop from shifting around. It was fine for my 15-inch Chromebook. I was able to fit four spiral notebooks, a couple of smaller pads, and one hardback book in the other compartment, and there was room for my Bose Soundlink speaker next to my laptop. For occasional travel and light use, this rolling case is fine. If you travel regularly, carry heavy loads, or subject your bag to a lot of abuse, I would spend more for a tougher one.

> 3 dayI love this rolling laptop bag!!! I am a physical therapist working in a school district. For the past 3 years, Ive used a large bag that I carried on my shoulder. I began having a great deal of shoulder pain. My husband picked up my work bag one day and said This must weigh about 30 pounds...no wonder your shoulder hurts!! I knew I needed to find an alternative. I checked out lots of options for rolling bags and decided on this one. The size is perfect for my laptop and miscellaneous files I carry. It rolls easily on all surfaces. It has been a lifesaver for me!!! And no more shoulder pain.

> 3 dayThe case looks very professional. I have problems with the retractable handle: 1) it isnt very sturdy, 2) it is difficult to extend / retract, and 3) it wobbles. It is lightweight probably due to the lack of interior space.

Almost Satisfied
Greater than one weekI got this when work decided that we should return to the office. The storage capacity is ample and the laptop seems to be pretty well protected. The handle deploys and collapses easily and rolls well enough. My biggest complaint about this laptop bag is that it is not very sturdy. When gripping the collapsing handle while deployed, there is a noticeable amount of twist. I am not sure if this is going to be a problem in the future, causing the bag to fail prematurely, but for now it works well enough.

> 3 daySo far so good. I’ve had it a little over a month and its holding up good. The space is great. Pull up handle works fine and hasn’t gotten stuck. Lastly & what I was worried about the most, is the wheels. They are holding up. Rolls fine, doesn’t get stuck and haven’t cracked or come off.

> 3 dayI don’t often write reviews but I wanted to let customers know that this case is worth the money. Prior to buying this bag I had a Perry Ellis weekender which I used to carry to laptops, tablet, cell phone and a variety of electronic accessories. The weight felt like a ball and chain being dragged behind me. In fact I started carrying a backpack to remove the weight of some items from the case. I just got this bag and have been carrying it for just one day but there is a huge difference in the weight. I carry the same number of items including two 15” laptops and I don’t have any problems rolling or lifting the bag. The bag is big enough that I don’t need my backpack anymore and with with plenty of room to organize the items I carry, the weight is evenly distributed. No problems with the bag tipping over.I haven’t had the bag long enough to comment on durability but I would definitely recommend the case to anyone with a large amount of items to carry around.
