One thing not mentioned on the product description is the ridiculous amount of velcro on this bag. The main compartment has two large velcro closures in addition to the clips. You may think that's a good extra safety feature but next time you try to sneak into class late, the obnoxious ripping of the velcro as you try to open your new laptop bag will guarantee that you will be the real dreadful embarrassment in the room.

(there are four other velcro closures besides the two front ones - basically there will be ripping of velcro to access any of the main compartments)

I got this bag on steepandcheap.com for a good deal, so I am not returning it. But had I spent full price on this bag, I would be returning it because the velcro is just too irritating. Now I am just planning on covering it with electrical tape.

I loved this bag; it fits my macbook perfectly as well as my giant law books. However, it's horrible to carry around fully loaded because of its design. My back and shoulder pain has become so ridiculous that I've finally ordered a shoulder backpack and am returning the dreadful embarrassment. So, if you want a funky bag in a great color and don't plan on loading it with anything heavier than a laptop and maybe one book, get this bag. However, if you plan on maximizing its full capacity, stick to a regular backpack and save yourself the pain!

Don't get me wrong. I really like the bag and am convinced this is one of the best bags I could have purchased for my 15.4" lenovo. It fits very snuggly in the compartment and there's LOTS of extra space to carry other goodies, e.g. paperwork, newspapers, mp3 player, the whole-nine. You can tell by inspecting the bag that it is very well made with quality materials and won't fall apart anytime soon.

Anyway, my qualms with the bag are in two specific areas. I don't feel like there is enough padding on the rear side of the bag that's hitting your leg all the time as you walk. The other qualm, I wish, wish, wish there was a quick grab handle on the top. I underestimated the convenience of having one when I bought the bag.

All-in-All a great bag. Crumpler lives up to the reputation.

I purchased this bag as a gift, so I can't really give an opinion on how the bag is. However, I have purchased other Crumpler bags before and love them. I did inspect the bag before gift wrapping it and was impressed over the amount of pockets it provides. The person that I gave this too, is still using it and I haven't heard any complaints yet.
