It wouldn't keep me from recommending the Cute laptop bag to someone else


This is a great bag: stylish while still functional. There is an abundance of space and plenty of hidden pockets and slots for anything I need to carry--notebooks, textbooks, pens, pencils, planner, wallet, cell phone, etc. etc. I can also fit my 15" laptop in the sleeve in the inside compartment, though the modern briefcase alone probably isn't enough to protect the laptop from heavy impacts (I am planning to buy a sleeve/case for my laptop like one of the other reviewers, it sounds like it should fit). Even though it is roomy, it manages it without being too large and bulky--I'm short (5'1") and I was able to adjust the strap so that it hangs comfortably. It is lightweight and durable, and I discovered a few days ago that it doesn't really get wet in the rain. 



As a college student who has a 10-15 minute walk from the dorm to the main campus, I highly recommend this new fanny pack. Overall, I really like the Driver 8. It definitely holds quite a bit (I carry 2 large binders & 3 text books, but there is room to hold at least 1-2 additional books, which will be helpful as I continue with my schooling). My only complaint would be that the bottom side of the front compartments of the motorcycle waist pack does not have any additional reinforcement or padding to protect the material if drags on the ground due to heavier books dragging down the front portion. It wouldn't keep me from recommending the Cute laptop bag to someone else, but it would be a nice improvement on JanSport's part. It manuevers well & is much quieter than I thought it would be. I can't get the handle to lock in the shorter position, but so far that does not seem to be a problem, as it seems as though that position would be too low to walk comfortably with. Overall, I'm very pleased with my purchase. "I bought this to carry my laptop and all of my cables, power supplies, etc. I thought this satchel would be perfect for this use. I expected a lot of little pockets for all my stuff.

I was wrong. There are hardly any little pockets. This satchel is really just a soft brief case that carries a laptop. To solve the problem of carrying a lot of little stuff, I went to Radio Shack and got some Velcro cable ties. It turns out that one of the inner flaps will stick to Velcro. Now, all of my USB cables and mini-hubs are stuck to the inner flap - nice and neat and organized. Now I'm happy. On the plus side I must say that this is very rugged well made product that will give a lot of heavy duty service. It's strong point, however, is its padding. It's amazing how padded everything inside this modern fanny pack is. If padding and durability are important to you - this is your mini pack."

So this Mens messenger bag is perfect


"I just bought a wide-screen laptop and there are very few backpacks that will fit (the laptop is a 17"" Dell). The laptop is too heavy for me to carry every day in a side-bag, so this Mens messenger bag is perfect. The good: The laptop slides into a center sleeve, with room between the sleeve and the back of the laptop messenger bags for men so that the backpack doesn't topple over from the weight and the laptop is better-protected from being hit. The various pockets hold a lot of material -- this is a big backpack that doesn't look so big. The action of the handle and the wheels is excellent. The backpack looks sleek and stylin'. The bad: Because of the size of my laptop, it just barely fits and it is difficult to get more items into the space between the laptop and the back of the large fanny pack. The zippers are a little hard to use -- maybe I just need to find the way to pull them properly. All in all, I love this large handbags totes." The Jansport Driver 8 is perfect for all my books, projects and school supplies.

It is well constructed, moves fluidly,has large and useful compartments, and has a good gripping handle to pick it up. I don't have a lap top, but the lap top section is perfect for my expandable filing system for my work.The only thing I would like is more selections in color and patterns, but that is up to Jansport. I bought a new backpack in September, but it was too small and I ended up taking it and two other laptop messenger bags to school, which was heavy and awkward. Then I tried my old pack from last year, but it was shabby, with a broken handle, and too small. I am thrilled with this pack and I would recommend it to anyone that has a lot of books and supplies and needs 2 big compartments, plus 2 other compartments. It is perfect for 5th grade and I'm sure it will be for the next few years too.

I bought two of these (the most in 2007), for my kid's lunches. The oldest cooler's lining is no longer waterproof, but the exterior is still in pretty good shape. The recent one is still going strong. This cooler can hold a hearty meal with drink or 6 cans of pop. These are durable, versatile, stylish, easy to use/clean, insulates well and are very roomy. A perfect size with easy access (important for little hands), and the horizontal design is a great feature if you're like me and don't want to tip containers on their side to fit it all in. Nice color variety for individual tastes. The inside mesh pocket is handy for utensils and napkins, but doesn't seal so make sure anything you put in there is bagged in case they fall out. The strap is adjustable if you want to carry the cooler by hand or shoulder. I LOVE this cooler and highly recommend it.

The main reasons I purchased this casuel school bag was because it seemed to be good quality


I am looking for a casual briefcase, and this one was so close to being just the right shop for backpacks! I do not own this item, but i already see why this would be a bad choice if your just entering high school. I love the fact that it expands because i don't know what to expect, and how much ill have to carry around. I also love how it looks, perfect for a teenage girl, But, the fact that it doesn't have a padded sholder strap is already a negative. HOw is someone in high school suppose to carry aound their books and such when they will have the strap digging into their sholder. Also, a handle at the top would make a BIG diffrence. When your leaving from class and need to rush, the strap can get all tangled and annoying to grap. With a handle, all you do is grab and go and get the strap as your already on your way. Finding the right bag is not easy for me at this point, because so many bags have one needed thing, but not the other. I'm sorry...but you just lost a costomer.

My son, who is in 6th grade, seems to be very happy with this backpack, much more pleased than he was with the Calpak Spirit we ordered earlier this year. The wheels on this pack do not wake up the neighbors in the morning when going to the bus stop like the other one (Calpak) did. The Calpak Spirit was only $45.00, but broke (the handle came off) within three or so months. (Sometimes you get what you pay for). Finally, there is a lot of room in this backpack for an elementary school with mega books! One more thing> this backpack does not smell of chemicals like the Calpak. (I had to keeep it in the garage because the smell gave me a terrible headache. I could smell it in the room, without knowing it was there.)You know, I should have returned that other backpack. Therefore, my son is a "happy camper" so far with this backpack. I'll keep my fingers crossed on it not breaking. Will let you know in a few months regarding continued satisfaction or not. The main reasons I purchased this casuel school bag was because it seemed to be good quality, it was black and I could wear it cross-body style. The shop backpack itself is very good quality leather and well made.

It fits everything I typically carry with me with room for more when I need it. The inside has two open compartments I keep my cell phone in one and usually store my glasses in the other. It also has a large zip compartment on the other side as well as a key ring holder. Under the flap is a open compartment and on the back is a zippered compartment. While the outside compartments are nice you can't really fit anything thick or bulky in them. My only complaint about this bag is it's height, and I knew this when I bought it. I am less than  and the cars backpack appears big. My daughter said it resembled a school bag! But I still love it and use it everyday. Plus I had it within a week of ordering it online. Both the cell phone fanny pack and the shipping met my expectations.

Well I bought two camera backpacks of similar type at the same time


"My typical business travel is with a small suitcase that I check and a backpack for carry on. I use this backpack as such until I check my luggage since it's not easy to use two wheeled bags. Once that's done, I convert the backpack to its wheeled counterpart. The organization is good, but not perfect. The laptop pouch is great for speeding through airport security. There is one huge interior compartment that could be more flexible in terms of dividers. Some of my stuff ends up getting sloshed around. It could use a better exterior mesh pocket for a water bottle. All the other little pockets are good and plenty. The flap that wraps around the wheels is secured on the bottom with a hook-and-loop strip. I have a feeling that this may wear out over time and not hold the flap any more. A durable set of snaps would have been better, IMHO. But that remains to be seen. These negative items are somewhat nitpicky. Overall, I'm happy with the purchase and I would buy it again."
  Best 15 laptop bag

"Well I bought two camera backpacks of similar type at the same time, because there was a really good sale going on, and i knew i could return whichever bag i didn't like the most. This bag is getting returned over the bags brand thunder 2.0. Both laptop carry bagss are great. The only thing i didn't like about this bicycle fanny pack is that the laptop compartment is not seperate from the overall pocket. also, the pocket for the laptop is flimsy and not padded. Also it said my Dell inspiron 6000 would fit and it DEF. does not. The big shoulder bag is really really good though, and if my laptop was more compatible with this bag it would have been the one i would keep. it's got a decent amount of space inside, but for all the crap i lug around as being an architect by day and student by night, it was a little tight. but it did all fit. seemed very durable, a great black fanny pack. the inside small pockets were good, so don't worry about not seeing a picture. just no seperate laptop compartment. Ask me any questions. sincerely, josh"

"This bag is a TANK. It is much larger than I expected and that is a good thing. Having said that, it just barely fits all of my books; I have to be slightly creative to fit everything in, but it does all fit. I bought this bag so that I could actually bring all of my books, material, and laptop with me to school without breaking my back. It certainly does that. As many other people have said, the wheels are amazingly quiet. You will of course hear them on rougher surfaces, but on a smooth floor, you hear NOTHING. The bag is heavy, even when empty, so I won't be using it as a backpack very often. That's okay, though, because the rolling form is what I bought it for. It does a great job of standing on its own and is very steady. I sometimes use it as a foot rest. It is definitely very convenient as it gives easy access to the contents as it just sits there next to you on the floor. I could go on about the pros (and few cons). The bottom line is... THIS best travel bag for women IS AWESOME."

The size of the black bag nylon zip is perfect


I really like this briefcase for laptop. I am transferring to a new school in Aug 06, 64 miles from my house, and will ride on the local commuter express bus and on light rail to get to school. I needed something that could hold everything in one bag as I will anticipate the occasional "running for the bus." I read many ebag reviews before buying this bag and was concerned about my laptop fitting. According to the size of my laptop it shouldn't have fit, but it does. It's an HP 5170 and fits fine. I have read many reviews on here where people have said their laptop, smaller than mine, just doesn't fit. I wonder if they took the time to take out ALL of the pads and adjust their size? If you do that you can get any average size laptop to fit. I have also heard comments about the size of the bag being too big. The size of the black bag nylon zip is perfect. If you want a bag to fit everything it can't be tiny! It's going to hold my laptop, books, lunch, and workout clothes for school just perfectly.
  black funky messenger bag

It's very well made and should last a long time. I was somewhat skeptical when I purchased this bag last August, as I had mixed feelings on the size and type of this bag, and whether or not it would hold up with very heavy daily use. When the bag first arrived, it thought that the quality was lower than I had expected, but I was overall impressed by this bag. This bag had help up considerably well for the past six months, but I was displeased with the laptop compartment that is included. It is not padded, and barely fits my 15" Dell computer. The velcro on the top does not fit over my computer, so it is not able to be secured in the fishing fanny pack. I had to go out and buy a neoprene sleeve for my computer, because the field bag did not provide enough padding for the laptop. Overall, though, this is a nice looking bag and has held up well with heavy daily use. I am able to carry two textbooks, as well as notebooks, my laptop and a/c adapter. The shoulder strap is strong, but does not have that much padding. I would give it a 6.5 out of 10, mainly because of the laptop issue. I like this fanny packs for kids. A whole bunch.

I have had several smaller briefcase for womens that I've had to lug around full to the gills with all the extra stuff I take with me when I travel (and I travel every week). This custom canvas tote bag holds it all, fits under the seat (barely), and uses the interior volume very efficiently. I would like to see a divider or some sort of organizational structure in the (capacious) middle compartment, but that's my only gripe. High points- The storage pockets on either side of the T-handle (great for adapters, cables, etc), The bottle holder on the side, and the overall amount of space inside! I was a little concerned that it would not fit under airliner seats, but I've flown with it on every type of regional and long haul jet- it fits! It takes a little effort, but it will go under there. With my laptop in the side-load sleeve pocket and everything else I jam in the fanny pack extender it can weigh upwards of 15 pounds- so the wheels are a big plus as well. If your laptop will fit in the side-load pocket then you need this fanny pack so stylistic.

These coffee nylon book bags are also very durable and the eye-popping bright orange interior lining


My husband and I both travel for business, but we also have 2 small children (a pre-schooler and an infant), so we needed luggage that could multi-task. The Mother womens messenger bags fulfilled this requirement very well. These coffee nylon book bags are also very durable and the eye-popping bright orange interior lining, while a bit garish, makes finding things SO much easier. Our kids' belongings were forever getting "lost" in our other suitcases that had dark interiors. These duffels also stand up on their ends - very handy when trying to juggle luggage, two kids, a stroller, and paperwork at the airline ticket counter. We are also scuba divers, so being able to rearrange the interior compartments was a
very attractive feature. For several years, we used our large dive Women's organizer backpack as our family suitcase, until the airline (who shall remain unnamed) destroyed it. This duffel has been an upgrade from that very versatile and useful dive WEEKENDER SATCHEL Bag, and we are going to give away our traditional hard-sided luggage in favor of getting a few more of these duffels! """Improved""? The new version is garbage! 



It's true, CL has ""improved"" this product. In the process they ruined it. For one thing, they removed several features, for instance the new version does not have the removable fast file and lacks the slot for a label on the handle. Also, it is about 30% lighter, and obviously ""cheaper"" in many respects, e.g the sides are now lightweight nylon. I would be surprised if one of these new models holds up for even 30% as long as the old one. And it's UGLY: brown stitching on black faux leather looks awful! There is one actual improvement in the new one - it was easier to open flat on a table. And one possible improvement - the attachment of the handle is apparently different, but you can't really tell if it's any better because it is hidden on the new one. I am disgusted with Case Logic for this crass and brazen attempt to squeeze a few pennies out of the production cost at the cost of huge loss of quality. I'm not going to touch any of their products again - IMO they cannot be trusted." Last year at the ESPN Summer XGames in LA, I carried a computer, documents and several pounds of test gear between our four remote sites in a standard backpack.

At the end of the two weeks I ended up with a wrenched back. Two years ago I bought this Urban Messenger Brief for my son in high school after he complained about the number and weight of the books he carried to and from school. He loved it. So this year I decided to purchase one for myself. Taking this Utility Laptop Messenger through airport security is a breeze. The computer is easy to remove and the extra storage pouches on the side are good for putting in loose change, cell phones, watches, etc for TSA screening. Not only did everything fit with room to spare, but the wheels saved my back many times over. I even converted to the straps a couple of times when I had to walk on the beach. Now that I'm back at the main campus, I use it everyday since our facilities are so spread out. I know at least 4 others in my department who purchased this same womens handbag since seeing mine. Thanks for a great product.
