    The bag is ok. But it is too small for an adult

    The bag is ok for its price. But it is a bit on the small size. It seems like a high school backpack if an adult is using it. I will give mine away!

    I got this for my son and strap just broke in just 5 days of use. Targus was known for quality, but this one is not. Going to return it if I can.

      We are to hear about the strap that is not the experience that we want our customers to have. It may be covered under our limited lifetime warranty for backpacks. Please reach out with your receipt to our support team at 877-482-7487 Monday thru Friday 10 AM to 7 PM EST. They will be happy to look into this for you. Targus
