Trip to Italy, October 19, 2009
By ronindallas from DAllas, TX

"I took my computer and Bose head set to Italy in this bag and it worked well. It holds the lap top, all accessories, and it fits under the seat on the plane."

Slick Laptop Bag, August 28, 2009
By ddupmul from Orange County, CA

"I bought this bag for a trip overseas, but now I use it daily for bringing my 15" Mac Book Pro back and forth to work.The handle and zippers all work great. I often switch between backpack mode and rolley-bag mode, and this works great. The straps unclip and stow-away easily and there's a nice cover that covers the wheels and bottom of the bag when you use it as a backpack.The entire bag is lightweight yet sturdy."

I LOVE THIS ROLLING BACKPACK!!!, August 28, 2009
By spyceegumbo from New Orleans, La

"I think this laptop backpack is the best. It has a lot of storage space, and it rolls easily. I am a college student and I use this backpack all the time. The handle is sturdy and pulls up and down easily. I love this backpack. The handle on top of the backpack makes it easy to lift to put into and take out of the car. I would highly recommend this bag."

Great Buy, May 8, 2009
By HappyInChesterVA from Chester, VA

"I have needed and wanted a wheeled laptop bag for years. I finally got this one and it was the best purchase of the year for me. I needed it for work and it has help me tremendously. The weight of the laptop and work papers was hurting my shoulders and breaking straps on all my previous laptop bags and back packs. This helps me carry my work and laptop with ease and comfort. The handle is easy to pull out and the space is just perfect for what I needed which is a lot of space. The extra space in and around the bag are great for so many little things. I love this bag and the price was better than all the other websites I searched. This was a win -win purchase for me, you can't go wrong with this one."

OKAY, October 22, 2008
By turnover from Chicago

"I bought this bag no nore than two years ago and it has worked OK. I am having to replace it now becuase the handle at the top has ripped away and makes it difficult to work with because this in the only handle to grab on the bag. One other thing is that once you put a laptop and a notebook folder in the separate pocket, add the your recharging hardware to the front pocket, the bag is a tight fit under the airplane seat. On commuter planes it will not fit at all and is difficult to store in the overhead. There is a nice pocket to store your Ipod."

"I like the back pack but I honestly thought it was going to be bigger. I never expected it to be so small. I can only fit 3 nursing books in there and I cant even close it all the way cause its so packed with the books. I like the appearance and the durability is great, its just the size that really bothers me. I could have gotten a luggage a little bigger then my back pack for the same prize. I recommend it to the people that dont have to take a lot of books to school."

"The backpack arrived quickly. The red one is beautiful. Handle is reasonably stable in use. Capacity is good. But my three girls, 11, 8 and 7 years old uses it five days a week, up and down cement curbs. The bottom tore from friction with the curb within three weeks. I think the only way to avoid this problem is to fit it with wider wheels. Wider wheel diameters would keep the bottom of the pack away from the ground on curbs. The quality and durability of the fabrics is very poor. f If your child only uses this pack on flat ground, it's fine."

"I have osteoarthritis in both hips and knees --- so carrying is extremely hard for me to do -- this lets me take everything that I need to use for business or even pleasure with me and it rolls along like a dream --- if necessary then it turns to a backpack that my husband finds very comfortable to use also. LOVE IT and recommend it as a good graduation present for Seniors."

"I didn't have much money to spend, so I didn't have a lot of choices, but I needed the wheels and the ability to hold a 15" screen laptop. I appreciated the accuracy of the description on this item and the choice of red or black (went with black). I only have 2 complaints thus far: 1) when using the backpack straps, the wheels can be a bit hard on the lower back, and 2) the main compartment is actually TOO SPACIOUS. It might have been better with two compartments instead of one huge one. There will probably be times when I love this "problem," though. The front organizer pocket is quite useful and bigger than others I have had. The tiny pocket on top front that I believe is for a CD or MP3 player is working well for my camera as well. I like that the rolling handle and backpack straps can be stored away when not in use, and the hand-hold on top is nicely cushioned . I haven't used the water bottle side pockets, but I am still fascinated by having two of them."

"I am tough at backpacks albeit - however not great luck with this one - the handle on top is ripping off for me (as of late February and I got it in early January). Also the fact that the computer pocket is on the front half of the pack i find inefficient as the back tends to fall forward when you unzip the bag - I would not buy a bag that did this again. I would like to say better things, but this is my experience."

"Nice combination. It's a backpack yet able to be wheeled when the situation warrents it. Plain but functional. Heavier than I expected from the write up but logically it is sporting wheels and handle in addition to the backpack, some of which has extra padding, and shoulder pads. Certainly well worth the money."

"After reading the other reviews posted on the website, I was completley sold on the back pack. I could not have been more happy when I was recently called out of town on a business trip. I could not believe the beating this bag took as I drug it through the airport and shoved it in many dinamically shaped storage areas. It even cleans up after dirt and salt cake on the wheels. I love it!!! I would recommend this for purchase to anyone who is looking for a laptop backpack. And the wheels are not noticable when used as a backpack. This designer deserves a patent!!"

Rolling Computer Backpack, January 26, 2008

"This was described as a computer backpack which would fit a 17" computer, but there was no padding to protect a computer or any way t secure the computer in the large backpack area. There is a very small padded poicket, but I don't believe it would fit even a 15" computer. It is a great rolling backpack, but it is not a computer case."
