This messenger bag is just what I wanted for carrying around my laptop and accessories. Everything fits nicely and I especially like how the bag looks. A handle would be nice, but the shoulder strap works just fine.

overall a good bag
the strap is wide and strong and adjustable, there is plenty of room for your laptop along with other compartments for other items, plus it is very stylish
the only thing i didn't like at first was the strap that closed the bag, but once you get used to it it's easy, and other people thought the way it closed was cool

overall a good buy

I reviewed many bags like this and decided to purchase this one and I have been extremely satisfied with its look, feel and construction. I chose black and although I would've preferred plain without the graphics, the art work fortunately is not too intense. The strap is wide and made of thick webbing and it does not slip even under a heavy load. The outside fabric is very sturdy but soft and could easily withstand some abuse. Inside are two spacious pockets covered by a polyester slick material that I noticed kept my leaky water bottle from soaking my books and papers on the other side. The two outer pockets are perfect for items you would like readily accessible like a cell phone, sunglasses and even fits a water bottle. Padding does cover the back interior, bottom and pocket divider which will offer some protection to your laptop through normal use. This bag has a total of nine pockets, ten if you count the ID holder sewn inside. Three pockets sewn into front of bag under the flap and above that is a zippered compartment covered with the slick polyester material. The back external portion is one, big Velcro fastened pocket which also provides another layer of protection for a laptop. I easily carry two large human anatomy books, three-ring binder notebook, Nissan Thermos of coffee, my water bottle, cell phone, papers and sometimes a windbreaker and I still have plenty of room for more. Overall it has a military feel about it with the materials used and its good construction but without a huge price. I highly recommend this one!

It's bigger than I'd hoped for, but is generally comfortable and stores a LOT of stuff. It's uncomfortable when overpacked and bulky, but for a laptop and some class supplies it's great.

Yes, I called a bag sexy. It is a very manly bag that I could envision on Van Disesel's shoulder. (Of course I could also envision myself on Van Diesel's shoulder too.) LOL.

My husband got this bag to use for business trips. It does a great job carrying his laptop and travel items. He loves it so much he now uses it every day for work and abandoned his traditional laptop bag.
