    Sale price is stealing, buy all the colors

    These packs came up on sale for a really low price that make you think you are either stealing them or they must be flawed in some way. Well, I have not found a single flaw or missed stitch or even sticky zipper. These are honest great quality backpacks that are easily a Best Buy on sale or maybe a good buy up to the retail price. They fit a 15' laptop easily have several pockets and compartments for all the stuff most will ever need to carry. Plus you even have nice passthrough grommet for a charger or headphone cord to pop out of the bag through so you don't have to unzip as often. I only slightly see the cost cutting by the thinner interior lining used for the pre-stitched sections for pens and pencils. The rest of the bag is a good sturdy material that should last well for all but the roughest customers or over loaders. While this review is on the purple bag. I also bought the gray and black version (there is also blue). And I recommend buying at least a second if all you do is give it to someone in need of a nice quality bag.

    Best backpack for college! Love that I can store my iPad/laptop safely. as well Can fit 2 binders, 3 notebooks, folders, and multiple books in the first pouch. 2nd pouch I store snacks and medical items. The front pouches are pretty spacious. I can store a pencil pouch of decent size in the very front bottom one. The side pouches can hold a Stanley/yeti cup as well. Love the convenience of the pencil holders inside the first pouch. Very durable, easy to clean, and overall love the color!

    Great backpack, medium sized for those trying to avoid such a huge laptop bag. Fits my 15 inch laptop easily, very minimalistic and very deep pockets. Scuffs easily though. got it on sale for $12

    I purchased the backpack as a gift and so far the person is loving it. They said it was just the right size to carry the things they want to carry for work. It seems sturdy made of good materials. After receiving it I felt like I should have purchased one for myself. I purchased this backpack for a great price.
