> 3 dayI’m so happy with my purchase. The first thing I did was remove the company logo patch ( the name was horrible and it was tacky) I just folded the corner of the little patch and carefully cut the stitches with a box cutter and pulled out the thread until it was completely removed. It looks as if it was never there. I bought the 15 inch version and it fits my laptop perfectly, even while in the laptop case. I don’t over pack my bag so I haven’t had any issues with the straps ripping like other reviews I read. I only keep my laptop, 2-4 notebooks and a 1 1/2 or 2 inch binder with about a 600 page loose page textbook in there. The extra pockets are nice and sturdy. The interior of the bag is huge! I was genuinely surprised. It was well worth the $25. The charging option is a bit misleading, you have to have your own power bank but it does come with the charging cord. This doesn’t matter to me because I know I’ll never use it just an FYI if that feature is what is attracting you to the bag.

> 3 dayI haven’t used it for a weekend trip yet but I’m hoping this will be the bag for it. I love the strap to carry the bag on a rolling suitcase, but the zipper pull on the hidden ouch right below the suitcase strap doesn’t hide easily, it’s shoved in there and feels like it’ll pop out, making it obvious and Not very “hidden”. I really wanted a bag that stood up on its own. As of right now, with nothing in it, the bag sometimes folds over to its packaged position. I hope frequent use will negate this. The fabric seems very durable. When the entire floor of the bag is being used (I used a book laid flat), the water bottles cannot go to the bottom of the pouch, this is because the water bottle pockets don’t stretch and use up space inside the bag.

> 3 dayI love this except for the fact that it is slightly misleading. I may have not thoroughly read it, but I assumed it came with some sort of pack that you charged and then can use to charge your device. But you have to provide one. I was a little disappointed in that, it’s kind of the reason I chose this kind. On a positive note it is pretty large, it will fit 3, 2” binders(full), and your laptop (I have a medium sized one), the side pockets are large enough to accommodate a medium-large water bottle with everything in it. The straps are comfortable even with a heavy load. I’ve had this since January and I use it almost daily with approximately 35-40pds in it, using both the handles and the back straps, it has held up well, no rips, no tears, and the stitching is solid. If I could give a 4.75 star I would’ve.

Greater than one weekI was in need of a backpack for airline travel that wasnt too big but still had ample storage and would last more than a one or two trips. This backpack hit the mark all three requirements. The front compartment on the outside of the bag is large and perfect for travel items that are needed quickly (theres on in the back that serves the same purpose). Room on the inside is plenty with sleeves for a computer, iPad and phone. I carried my wifes and my iPad in one to the compartments along with a couple of magazines and a notebook. The main storage area of the bag was no less to my satisfaction. Although Ive only taken one long trip with the backpack, it seems to be very well made and I am confident that it will last for many years. This was a great value!

> 3 dayThis backpack is wonderfully fantastic. I bought it as a Xmas present and couldnt resist the urge to get one for myself--great decision! I can fit more items in it than my much bulkier, prior backpack. The shoulder pads are comfortable and sturdy. I have chronic back & neck pain and this bag is very forgiving to that-even when I have a laptop, tablet, and purse in there. When unzipped, the bag stands on its own (this is an amazing feature I didnt know I needed until I had it), and there are multiple pockets. I feel safe pouring my laptop, stethoscope, lunch in the bag without impaling each object. Con: There is a place to hide a charger cord on the side of the bag. It comes with a clip that can be annoying to manipulate, especially since the side pocket goes up high and requires bending the cord at a weird angle to properly connect. This little piece fell out after 2 or 3 days of use. To be honest, Im glad. Its now a hole (reinforced by leather) that I can easily thread my charger cord thru to get to my mobile device. Figure out a way to pop out that clip and the design will work better for you. Lastly, the description wasnt entirely clear on if the bag itself had charging capabilities; it does not. This hole is merely a discreet, convenient way for you to attach your own mobile device to your own battery pack that hides in the bag. Ive gotten many, many compliments on this bag. Its practical, fashionable, and professional for a medical student to use as a medical bag. I plan to purchase other bag types from this company; theyre all so cute (and affordable).

> 3 dayI originally purchased the grey one for a personal item bag in addition to my carry on for a trip to Japan. It worked out great. Great size to fit meds, tablet, snacks, personal items and a couple changed of clothes. Bonus that there Id a strap on the back to put over your carry on bag handle for easy transportation. Fits under the seat in front of you perfectly. I bought a second one, pink, for my daughter for an upcoming trip. Same size and design as my grey one. The reason though for the lowered stars is first it came all balled up in the packaging and its a wrinkled mess. Currently Ive got it stuff full of packing paper in the hopes to get it somewhat unwrinkled. The second thing is I dont like is the material. The material is different and very very stiff and apparently gets deeply wrinkled. Might end up returning it.

> 3 dayI love this backpack! It has a lot of useful pockets and is great for teachers. I love the slot for my computer as well as the smaller pocket that could fit an ipad mini or a book. There are a few small slots for pens or pencils and two pockets I use for my mini lent roller, hand sanitizer, tissues, the USB port that comes with it. I use the big pocket in the front for my personal items such as keys, gum, chapstick, glasses, and mini hair brush. I love that it has two cup holders for my water and coffee! I have used it in the rain a few times and the water droplets roll right off! I havent used it yet for travel but I can tell the hidden back pocket would be helpful as well as the strap to go over your luggage handle. This backpack has a ton of room and the top zipper has a wide opening. The only thing I dont love about this backpack is that it can be difficult to zip up with one hand. I normally have to pull the zipper part on the inside down to get the top zipper to close since it can open so widely and has a wire lining at the top. It is just a small inconvenience, other than that I love everything about this backpack!

> 3 dayThis bag is perfect! Love the top that opens up without having to deal with flaps and buckles. Super spacious inside! Had my laptop, stuffed my down-filled coat inside and my purse on top with room to spare. The material is high quality, water-repelling canvas, which doesnt look like it could ever tear, stitching is sturdy, zippers are heavy-duty, double top straps are same material as backpack on one side and thick nylon webbing material stitched directly to it on the other, reinforced webbing material around the entire inside opening, pull tabs and outside stitch covers are pleather, but durable and look nice. There are two zippered pockets on the outside, front and back, with the same high-quality zippers, two pockets on both sides for a drink, but without elasticity, so it may fall out. The shoulder straps are nicely padded with mesh on the inside of the strap facing the body. The adjustable portion of the strap is made of the same strong nylon webbing used on the other straps and on the inside reinforcement, the buckle for adjusting the strap is PVC and they do not slip! That is a huge one for me, so annoying if they slip! There are six inside pockets, four on one side for 2 pens, a large phone and small writing pad or calculator, two padded pockets on the other side large enough for folded paperwork or a pad of paper, the other pocket for your laptop, mine being 14.5 by 10 inches and the velcro strap fits perfectly over it. I cant say enough. It is high quality and perfect! Not to mention the charger adapter neatly hidden on the side. Winner!
