Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought several of these packs when they came up on sale for a really low price that made me think I was 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 black bag. I also bought the gray and purple version (there is also blue). They are all identical aside from the color. And I recommend buying at least a second if all you do is give it to someone in need of a nice quality bag.

I love my new laptop bag. Not so big and not so small. Inside there is compartment for some documents and separate slots for pens.

The perfect size backpack fits my 15 inch HP laptop perfectly and other items. Backpack has enough cushion to protect my laptop without all the extra bulk.

I'm a working DJ and this backpack has plenty of room for all of the wires I need, my laptop, my iPad and a small monitor. I'm also able to hold two microphones, a battery pack and a bunch of other accessories. This is my second one I got a little tea greedy trying to a large hotspot box and ended up making the zipper come off track. Is very durable and everything I need so I bought another.

Really nice compact backpack. It has all the pockets necessary. I use it for gadgets other than my laptop too.

Use it for work. I like the quality for the price and has many deep pockets.

Perfect size bag. Had one that was same brand from 10 years + and it’s still holding up. This holds all the right gear and is not bulky.
