Customer Ratings & Reviews

I am an employee of Best Buy and I had the opportunity to sample this bag over the course of a couple months. This bag is very durable and has an impressive build/quality to it. There are plenty of storage options inside as well as a collapsible beverage holder on either side of the bag. Inside, the removable inserts provide tremendous flexibility for different storage needs. When removed, the available space allows for this bag to convert into an overnight bag with plenty of room for a change of clothes and snacks. The only potential con is the initial break-in period for the zippers which was overcome after roughly 2-3 weeks.

I purchased this bag because I wanted a quality bag that looked sophisticated and held my camera, some accessories, my iPad Pro 12.9 inch and a few other items. I wanted a bag that would be small enough to carry daily when I’m attending local meetings and look professional and also roomy enough to hold my necessary electronics when I’m traveling for events. First impression, bag looked the part. Internally it had slots to safely store my camera, lenses and fit iPad perfectly. Loved the way things fit in the bag. What I didn’t like about it was how easily it scratched. I would brush lightly against the edge of a table or chair or doorway and notice a scratch. This wouldn’t be an issue if I didn’t bump into everything like I do. I need something rugged and able to deal with bumps and dings. I also found that it doesn’t sit comfortably on my hip when carrying as a messenger bag. And it also doesn’t carry balanced when I’m holding it by the handle as a briefcase. The bag seems to lean back where the bottom of the bag rubs against my leg. Loved the concept of the bag. Change the material and the handle and this bag is a keeper.

I've been looking for a messenger bag for a while and finally bought into the nomatic marketing. I wasn't disappointed. Pockets are easily accessible, perfect for work and back, and stylish. My only complaint is the zippers are a little stiff and the strap is a little uncomfortable with heavy weight. It's definitely worth catching on sale.

Love the look and feel. High quality and seems like it will hold up good. Works awesome for my lap top as i can pack up and go relatively easy. Strap is a little annoying and gets twisted up easily.

Great bag with many compartments! This would be perfect for a minimalist or for one who doesn’t carry many books. My problem with it was that it was too stiff and was not ideal for carrying textbooks or even multiple books.

This bag would be really nice if it was capable of holding the things it is advertised to hold. Does not hold any kind of 15-in laptop and an iPad with things inside without feeling like you're about to break the laptop compartment zipper. this thing barely holds my XPS 13 and 11" ipad and the zipper is still crazy tight. The straps that rotate freely are SUPER annoying. They definitely rotate freely every time you set the bag down and when you go to pick it up somehow the strap is all twisted up EVERY TIME. Do yourself a favor, spend this money on something more usable. I have one of the nomatic backpacks and it's much better to actually carry things around in. I was suckered in by the pretty pictures and review videos, but nobody mentioned how this thing can barely hold anything at all. Don't even try putting a laptop charger in the small zippered compartment on the front because it won't zip up. Barely zips up with my beats pro headphones and small Logitech Bluetooth mouse. It's a good design, but far too small for EDC.

Excellent design and some great extras - interchangeable divider inserts, hard-sided sunglasses kit, magnetic water bottle pockets, retractable key chain - make this bag perfect for commuting briefcase. Wide enough to carry lunch containers, it's slim enough to fit in a bus seat with me.
