Customer Ratings & Reviews

I've been using the SwissGear Commander USB ScanSmart Laptop Backpack for my work travels, and it has exceeded my expectations in many ways. Design and Functionality: The design is incredibly smart and well-thought-out. It fits a ton of items, including my laptop, tablet, documents, and various accessories. The ScanSmart feature is a lifesaver at airport security, allowing me to keep my laptop in the bag while going through the scanner. Storage Capacity: This backpack has ample space for everything I need for work and even for weekend personal travel. The multiple compartments and pockets help keep everything organized and easily accessible. Comfort and Durability: The padded shoulder straps and back panel make it comfortable to carry, even when fully loaded. The build quality is excellent, and it has held up well to the rigors of frequent travel. Convenience: The built-in USB port is a handy feature for charging devices on the go. It's a small but significant addition that makes a big difference during long trips. Room for Improvement: The only thing I would change is the water bottle holder. While the insulated pocket is useful, I wish it had a true water bottle holder for easier access and better fit. Overall: Despite the minor drawback, this backpack is fantastic for both work and personal travel. It's versatile, durable, and thoughtfully designed, making it an essential part of my travel gear.

This backpack has all the space you need. I use to carry a gym bag to work everyday. However this bag as replaced it. It has all the pockets for my tablet AND laptop. I am able to put my uniform in there and still have plenty of room for my lunch to be packed. It is so comfortable and convenient! I love this bag!

This good looking knapsack is great to bring to meetings and is midsized so big enough for the things you need. Multi pockets, like the shoe bag, lets you access a change of shoes without digging through everything. External USB is awesome if you tend to run your phone battery down and many handy places to stash the cable.

I have so my back packs and never use them. This pack has all the space and pockets to keep everything organized and separated. I can even keep a small amount of food in it and it’s keep cool for a short time since I’m military and regularly carry my lunch while deployed or working 12s. It has a space for my laptop and gaming systems. Cloths for the gym. Notebooks and so much more. I will forever use and love this bag.

I’ve had this backpack for about a month now and I’m really happy with it. It feels durable, has a ton of pockets, and holds a lot more than I expected. It’s been great for carrying everything I need without feeling cramped. My only small complaint is that I wish it were a little more structured so it could stand upright on its own more easily. Other than that, I really like it. I also got it for about $85 off, which made it an even better deal. Definitely worth five stars.

I was concerned about paying that much for a backpack that I may not use or utilize that much... I was wrong! I use it every day, and I utilize every pouch/pocket, too. I also use the pocket at the bottom for an extea pair (size 14) of Hey Dudes. It also has a thermal pocket to keep your drink cold/warm. It goes almost everywhere I go, and it's very comfortable. My two youngest have one for school.

I came into bestbuy looking for a work/travel backpack not wanting to choose swissgear simply because its what you see folks using everywhere for years. Little did I expect to almost instantly fall for this swissgear backpack haha. The logo is blacked out so it had a cool stealth factor. It has a designated hard pocket for glasses which takes up a little space in the main pouch but its a good tradeoff for me using safety glasses on some projects. TSA gets snippy sometimes if you have a laptop and tablet in the backpack but ive gotten away with fully opening the laptop section zipper so the baclpack opens like a book seperating the laptop section with the rest of the bag. The kicker that sold me was a side pouch. Usually these are used for small items or rolled up charging cables but on this backpack it actually opens a compartment that lets you slide in a large drink or in my case a 32oz owala insulated bottle with ease. It takes up a bottom portion of your main comparment but if you're not stuffing the bag, this is a cool feature. The icing on the cake was thr other small side pocket is thermally insualted and perfectly fits a standard can drink and keeps it cold. Very cool. This bag also has an external usb cord to connect your personal battery pack inside but i dont use it. This bag really went the distance packing in as many features as it could without making the bag look weird. Would recomend to purchase.

Great backpack for day to day or traveling, I use this on a regular basis for my 24hr to 48hr shifts as a firefighter .It fits my electronics and clothing as well as miscellaneous things, without it all being crammed. Also has Plenty of pockets.

This backpack is extremely high-quality and durable. I had one before that and bought one again. My older one got the shoulder straps damaged, but I carry a lot of weight in it. I love how many different small pockets and spaces the backpack provides. It’s a bit pricey, but as a heavy user myself, it’s definitely worth your money because it’s gonna last.

[Employee of bestbuy] Pretty good bag. Not too big. Not too small. Nice sneaky little pockets everywhere. Durable and even has a pocket to store cold items.

Excellent gear bag. I record audio & video in random locations & have been searching for the perfect bag to hold the essentials to grab & go. I actually bought a few different bags to sort all the microphones, recorder, compact stands, laptop,two headphones, projector, rechargeable battery for everything & after packing them all up, this bag was the only one that fit everything & had compartments that made sense. All one type of gear in a specific pocket means I don't have to empty everything out to find the particular item I need. Returned the other bags and made this my garbage & go bag. It even fit my 62-Inch Camera Monopod when it is shrunk down to smallest size.

Excellent backpack, high quality zippers that I can already tell will last many years to come. The fabric is very durable, the seams are sewn with high quality thread, it comes with a manufacturer warranty, and it is a perfect laptop travel backpack. The handle on top is reinforced and can handle the weight of it even when fully packed; additionally, it is comfortable on the hand unlike the thin fabric handles on cheaper bags. This backpack is well worth the price tag. I've used this bag to replace my current daily pack, and it is chugging along perfectly and leaves me with a smile every time I open the zipper.

I have had this backpack for a few months now walking to and from school and this backpack has done a great job not only for its space but also for its good weather protection from the rain and all the small pockets that perfect for a myriad of things

Love this bag, it is quite big and holds lots of stuff with individual pockets designated to certain items. I also like the shoe/extra compartment at the bottom. Was helpful when traveling due to its size and ease of use.

It has a good organization for a modern day backpack. Loving the design. No complaints so far. The inside hardshell compartment for the top small pocket, can stay in the way when trying to load stuff into the main pocket; but not a huge deal. 16” MBP fits with more space left. Can fit a regular sized water bottle easily to the mesh pocket. The insulated pocket is also nice. Shoe pocket is an added bonus!!

As a marine I proud myself in always being ready and having the right tool for the job. Technology wise this is my go to on the move producer bag. I was able to fit while traveling a - 1)microphone 2)audio interface 3)Akai MiniKeyboard 4) mouse 5)external harddrive and the large 6)17.5in Alienware computer. With more room left for books and other items. There's so many pockets organizing has never been so easy. This bag is currently in first place in my hall of fame of bags that were just meant for man to have. Infront of Triple Aught's Lite bag (tactical)

There are many storage compartments, you can go on holiday with a backpack, the compartments are very useful, the material quality of the product is very good.

The backpack itself is well constructed and work, but together, there are a lot of pockets for me to place any electronics and other daily use items. There is a shoe compartment that integrates along with the backpack. I really like the charging bank pockets and pass through holes.

This Swiss Gear backpack is exactly what I was looking for and the price made it well worth it. It is very sturdy and made of good quality material. I'm going to love my backpack

Excellent Looks exact the way it looked at the picture Durable and extremely good product
