CoolBELL Convertible Backpack Shoulder Bag Messenger Bag Laptop Case Business Briefcase Leisure Handbag Multi-Functional Travel Rucksack Fits 17.3 Inch Laptop for Men/Women (Canvas Dark Grey)

I like this bag, but I ordered it in two colors and Im glad I did because they are very different fabrics. The canvas one reminds me of my dads bag in 1985, so its not cool - especially for a woman. It looked like the light gray was a different fabric, but it was hard to tell online, so I ordered it and was happy that its a lighter weight smooth material with a linen look to the weave. The zipper pulls are big and shiny and a bit noisy, so I replaced them with silicone colored ones and it looks much cooler (and not as cheap). I also replaced the shoulder strap with a patterned one and it helps it not look so boring. With these adjustments Im happier with the look and Im able to enjoy the awesome functionality of this bag without feeling like its lame. Ive had several other laptop bags and my requirements are lots of compartments to keep things separated and organized so I dont have to dig for everything. I also need the slip for the roller bag on the back for traveling. I love the fact that I can also convert this bag to so many different carrying options. I dont use backpacks, but I like having the option with this bag so when getting on/off planes Im not hitting people with my messenger style bag. I search far and wide for a new bag after a recent long trip and this was the best I found - at any price point. It would be nice if it had a water bottle holder though. BTW - I was also looking for a vegan bag, which reduced my options since leather is hard to avoid.

Not as good as I hoped

I am not a backpack person, but years of lugging a bag on one shoulder I needed a different way. I like this better than an average backpack. Since it converts to a regular briefcase style, it is easy to retrieve papers and files. They are topside up, things dont disappear in the bottom like a backpack. It has lots of room and very durable and stylish.

Ive had this thing for 2.5 years now. I came to write a review because someone at work asked me about it, and I couldnt stop raving about the bag, so I figured Id share with the world. Prior to buying this bag, Id tried Filson, Jack Spade, and a couple of other much more expensive brands. NONE of them lived up to the functional requirements that this bag simply kicks ass at. It has: - SO MUCH space - Many compartments to help you get organized - Many carrying options - Durability (2 years later, still running strong) - Nice aesthetic looks Its super versatile - I carry the bag to work, for weekend trips, thrown it on flights. For the price and functionality, you cant compete with this thing. Highly recommend.

Pretty good all around laptop bag. Two main sections, one with a padded laptop sleeve and space for a book or tablet; the other section has pockets for peripherals or a power cable. Large outside pocket too. you can use this as a backpack if youd like, but if, like me, you use it as a messenger bag, the backpack straps are easily hidable. Strap mounts are reinforced and so I dont have a concern for its medium-term durability. If anything, the only problem is with the second sleeve, once you have irregularly shaped objects in the pockets such as a laptop charger or mouse it is a little difficult to get too much else stuffed into that side of the bag.

Oh god this bag is amazing. It can fit laptop, bunch of notebooks, snack, bottle of water, sneackers and clothes for the next day (and you can fit more if you really want). Pros: -Design. it looks very stylish -Usability. Wanna go out with a fancy bag? Here you go. Wanna allfit backpack? Its right here. Many additional pockets (some of them are on straps some are on zippers) -Item managment. Oh boe those pockets are so good I am gonna mention them twice -Comfort. Straps for bag and backpack are very well positioned (although its not so easy to walk with really full bag (but its okey with a backpack)) -Laptop protection. Cons: (Even with them i will definetely buy this one again when mine will break) -Very poorly made and designed zippers on the outside. On the inside it features nice to touch rigid metal ones but on the outside they are leather cutted. Edge of the leather is very poorly machined. They look and feel ugly. I suggest replacing them. -Narrow backpack straps. Due to narrowness of the bag itself manufacturer was forced to place them close together. So if you are not so slender those straps can rub your sides (where the straps are attached to the bottom). It is no problem with jacket on but with only t-shirt on you it can be annoying. Great product. THANK YOU COOLBELL

A bit bigger than I expected, but delivers on the promise.

This bag is as advertised, it is not big enough to put much more than a computer and a medium text book. It is rugged but if need room for extra stuff this is not your bag, if you want sleek and thin this is the bag you want.

Good design

I have two of these now, one for myself and one for my girlfriend. The flexibility is just wonderful, I can set it up in three different configurations: backpack, messenger bag, briefcase. Its big enough for my gaming laptop and overly large power supply, mouse, various adapters and dongles and theres still room left over. Plenty of pockets for organization (like... lots of them, very nice!) and the zippers have given me no trouble in the three weeks Ive been using it. It protects the laptop very well and looks great too. Great design and build, I recommend it.
