    I love this product as it allows many uses for the pockets and excellent travel. I went out of state and couldn't believe how comfortable and durable the bag is, and for the price it was a steal.

    The backpack is nice givin its price, the only downside is the it is not padded from the bottom and you need to get your backpack down slowly and gently.

    It's OK for the sale price of $10, but I wouldn't pay more. It was listed by Best Buy as a hard pad backpack. It is Not. It has padding, but I would recommend being careful about how you handle it while your laptop is in it.

    I initially bought one. Then bought 2 more. It was on sale for $10. They work well. I am using one now for a laptop and some accessories. I plan on using the other 2 for a "go bag" with clothes / summer related items. It has many compartments to store extras, but it not very well organized.

    Decent backpack. Not amazing but also not bad

    Pros: the elastic compacts for holding water bottles and other small items stretches out to fit my medium sized bottles and contracts down enough to hold a battery pack or something. The shoulder straps are padded and decently comfortable. I like the simple, all black aesthetic. Cons: Cot the best for traveling. Very clumsy to try to get this to stay on top of a rolling suitcase, wish there was a pass through strap for a luggage handle. The interior material separating the compartments is pretty thin. On first impression seems like the inside won’t last more than a few years, but time will tell. Overall: for the price of $40 it’s pretty average. I’d recommend waiting for a sale to pick this backpack up.

    This Targus laptop backpack case is great and carries all your accessories with very good protection at a low price and well worth it to buy one.
