    Well-made and holds up

    This backpack is great and seems to be very well-made! Ours is being used by a 6th grader for a Chromebook as well as actual books and has held up surprisingly well (considering past experiences with backpacks). I would definitely recommend this backpack and would purchase it again!

    Don't pay full price for it

    I was able to snatch this backpack for a discounted price of $11.99 before it went up again. Sweet! I will never pay full price for it. There are signs of cutting corners: the fabric is thin (although still acceptable), paddings (2 straps, back, computer cushion) are also thin, and close to zero padding on the top handle. The main compartment is somewhat small. Time will tell how durable it will be. The blue color is more of a dull sky blue. Quite a neutral color for most people. That makes it stand out in a sea of black backpacks too!
