    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!

    The quality is very disappointing for the price. One would expect a far superior product for $50. I've come across similar backpacks at Five Below.

      We’re sorry to hear the backpack didn’t meet your expectations. The Octave III line is designed as an everyday, lightweight option, so it may not have the same premium materials as some of our higher-end models. That said, it should hold up well for regular use—if you notice any issues with stitching or materials, it may be covered under our limited lifetime warranty. Please contact us at 1-877-482-7487 (Mon–Fri, 7 am–4 pm PST), and we’d be happy to review it with you. Targus

      We’re sorry to hear that the Octave III Backpack did not meet your expectations. This model is designed as a lightweight everyday option, and the material should hold up with normal daily use. If you feel the material itself is wearing down too quickly, it may not fall under warranty coverage, but we’d be glad to review the situation. If you are still within Best Buy’s return period, we recommend processing a return directly. Otherwise, you can reach us at 1-877-482-7487 Targus
