    It seems fairly well designed and holds a decent amount. The fabric is thin and does not provide much padding for your tech gear. Targus quality has really gone down.

    The price was good on sale but the quality is very low. It is paper thin, especially at the bottom. Would not trust it to carry anything with some weight to it.

    Less than a 1 star. The backpack looks nice but the zipper broke the first week of use. I bought it over the summer in preparation for the new school year. My daughter began using it about one month after the dismal 2 week return period. Best Buy refuses to return the item despite it being a non electronic and within a “reasonable” amount of time.
