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.

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.

Awesome bag!! It has al hidden compartments froor my snacks and cables.

Great bag, light weight, easy to carry and great compartments. Awesome back pack

May be the worst and most costliest backpack I have ever had… The section where you put your laptop, has a zipper on both sides that goes all the way to the bottom… Problem is even if the zipper is zipped to the very end, or the left and right side zippers meet at the top, after a couple of block of walking the weight in the backpack pulls at the zippers until they are open, and your laptop or anything in their falls out. $1,200 laptop now worthless… Even subsequently with just books the same thing happens.

Very nice backpack. I bought it for work travel. Very comfortable and so far is working great.

I bought this for a trip from NYC to Istanbul. I need this bag to bring my nieces a laptop for them to use for school. And with that, I used every single pocket possible. Portable phone chargers, socks, underwear, t-shirts, hats, water bottles and a cold pouch for a cold Soda. You name it, it had a use for my daughter and I. Ok, some more, hair brushes, Passports, Air flight tickets, prescription contacts, eye drops, electric toothbrushes, carry on size of everything else you can imaging. Great bag. Also fit perfectly under the seat in front of me. Two flights with a layover in London Heathrow each way. No problem.

This is the updated version of a backpack I did my level best to DESTROY about 20 years ago. After about five years of my abuse, I foolishly decided to move on to something else, and passed it on to a friend who was homeless. He lived out of it for two years, and it STILL persevered. I'm not sure what became of it after he got himself off the street. I saw this for sale, and had to buy one, if only for nostalgia's sake. I'm pleased to report that nothing about it has diminished, and there even appear to be some added refinements.

This is my third Swissgear backpack. The other two are the earlier versions and I am still using them. This one has a few more features but, more importantly, it feels lighter and seems to have a little more cushion which is important when you have expensive equipment inside. I did get it on sale which made it well worth the price. Not sure the upgrade is worth the full price though. Great backpack if you can get it under $70.

This is a perfect back pack for work use. It fits everything I need when traveling for work from laptop to my pad folio, misc. notebooks, cords, ..... It is very durable as well and will last years.

I bought this from my fiancé. He had one similar to it. He needed a new one and bought it and he loves it. It’s got plenty of pockets. Lots of room to put books laptop, water, shoes, etc. it’s the best purchase I’ve made for him!

Awesome and multifunctional back pack! Many pockets for different items. Can be placed on top of a luggage. Water resistant.

I use this for work and travel; the compartments are well thought out and wearing it is comfortable. I particularly like the laptop section with the strap.

I love this backpack. Its comfortbale, has tons of room, fits all my laptop and accessories with ease. Favorite things are the beefy carrying handle, the sunglasses top pouch, and the shoe compartment that also fits my ROG ALLY travel case perfectly.

With everything you carry for work and travel this is the complete backpack! Outstanding quality, looks great and a very nice price.

Excellent bag. Lightweight by itself, easily packs my laptop, ipad, papers, etc. A good number of pockets/sections for storing different items I need to carry.

Several straps which are wide and comfortable to wear even after long travel. Laptops sit in safe sleeve and USB cord built in is a game changer.

Awesome bag for travel. Fits everything I needed laptop, headphones, shoes and clothing. Recommended to frequent travelers.

Backpack is awesome. Got it as a graduation gift for my cousin and he loves it!

Great design and appreciate all the extra storage. The charge port is a nice feature.
