    Im a 2L law student. I have a lot of books. This does not cut it. I received the bag today, will be sending it back tomorrow. Cannot recommend, definitely not keeping it. I also think for what I got, it was priced about 20% too high, assuming my stuff fit the bag. Quality Flaw: Im starting with this, because it was the ultimate nail in the coffin on this bag. Im including a picture. I pulled back the flap inside the bag that covers the framework for the handle, and you can see the grommets for the bottom of the case. Not only is one damaged (see the portion of metal missing), but some of the rivets do not look like theyre going to hold up, one is completely rusted, and all the others have started rusting. Guessing thats why you see a silica packet they included. Doesnt look like it did its job. I would guess this area would get much much worse over a years time. Front pouch: Entirely too small to hold much of anything, in my opinion. Yes, it will hold a few pens and business cards. Beyond that, I think youre out of luck. It has more little compartments than it will be able to hold items. I know if I was keeping the bag, the only thing I would end up using that section for would have been a phone charger/usb cables. Interior: Two or three days a week I need to take at least a couple of moleskine planners, three large textbooks and a 3-ring binder on campus with me. Usually, my laptop and another binder, plus a notebook, are added to that. Obviously a backpack would kill my back, which is why I need something that rolls and has room. The answer was not this bag. First, the large area is actually two medium areas, separated by a flap down the middle, which is not secured at the bottom, so if you toss in something smaller, good luck guessing which section it will end up in. Second, the sections are too small for my purposes. I can JUST fit a regular sized textbook in there, my ConLaw textbook (anyone who has taken ConLaw knows thats the biggest book to ever exist) is too thick to fit. Assuming I dont use the bag for my ConLaw book, I still cant fit two textbooks side by side, which is the whole point of getting a wider bag. I also couldnt fit a binder and a textbook in a single section. Very frustrating. Bottom line, I could have fit maybe two textbooks, a spiral notebook, a pencil case (since you cant use the front), and my laptop in this bag. Probably my moleskine planners as well. But I dont know what Id do with my bigger textbook and two binders. Assumedly I would have to use a second bag, but that defeats the purpose of a rolling bag in my mind. Extending Handle: This actually looked pretty nice and sturdy. I pulled it out once and then collapsed it back. At that point I knew the bag wasnt for me, so I didnt really care to pay it much more attention. You do have to unzip a portion of the bag to get the handle out. This is probably very handy for some people who want to put the handle away and not see it/worry about it getting caught on anything. Strap Handles: They velcro together with a handle wrap, if youre into that kind of thing, then its great. I dislike such wraps. Fabric: Seemed very sturdy, thicker than my High Sierra backpack (which has ripped, btw), and just as sturdy as my Timbuk2 bags, although the Timbuk2 fabric is lighter and I would trust it more. Wheels/bottom: I forgot to look… Sorry!

    I used this bag pretty heavily for three years. I am an adjunct professor and wheeled this thing around three campuses. I filled it very full which caused a bulge at the bottom when a supporting bar finally bent. Then it started to drag the bottom edge. Eventually I wore down the wheels. Overall I was very happy with it. Even after all this time the zippers and handle still work perfectly. I wish I could replace the wheels. I think it would last several more years if I could. I plan to order another one for the coming year.

    It seems durable but only time will tell. The size is perfect for teaching, the three compartments being just the right size for a lap top, markers and etc. of course the rollers and handle make it perfect.

    This rolling bag is perfect for carrying my work to and from the office. I have been using it for some time now and it travels with me every weekday. It has held up well and is so easy to pack/unpack, is steady and is easy to roll. I would definitely purchase this rolling bag again. But its holding up so well, I may not need to do that for a long time.

    Perfect for me. I am a nursing student and have tons of books to carry around. I was a little reluctant of getting a rolling case, but after the first week of school, I learned my lesson and began the search for a rolling case. I had already dropped an arm and a leg this first week of school on other supplies/books/scrubs etc., that I was searching for a DEAL. (Amazon got tons of business from me) I was worried about compromising quality, but then I fell across this bag! After reading the reviews, I was more reluctant since most people were complaining about no padding where the pull bars are, not much padding through out the bag, but after receiving the bag, my worries flew out the window! The bag is better quality than expected and is holding up great. There is no padding against the arm pulley, but there is a covering which is fine. Most carryon bags have this type of style where just a fabric covers the metal on the inside of the bag. You probably are not toting around antiques that are fragile, so that should not be of grave concern. The section in the back is large enough to fit books or say an outfit if you are doing overnight travel and some toiletries. There is another compartment that has a divider in it, in which you could put a lap top on the front end of the divider and some files behind it. Then there is the small area in the front that you can store pens, phone and other miscellaneous items. I put my keys, wallet, sunglasses, medicines, lip gloss and hand lotion in the front pocket, MacBook in the computer storage area along with my Beats by Dre headphones and in the third compartment (closest to the arm pulley) is where I can stash 2 large books and 2: 1 binders, a medical dictionary, my stethoscope and my lab coat if I take it off. I would say that is quite the arsenal. The material is thick and sturdy, the arm pulley is super long, so Im sure thats a plus for taller men/women. I am very pleased with the sturdiness of this bag along with its simplicity and price!! I also love that you can hide the pulley when not in use by zipping it closed in. I use the bag 5 days a week, every week. I roll through parking lots and through the campus, so I would say it gets regular/daily usage. I am only giving this item 4 stars, because I wish it had a longer strap for over the shoulder for instances when I would not roll it, or if I felt like carrying it would be easier. You only have the two shorter handles. Other than that, I am very very pleased with the item I received for the price I paid. If this were to wear out within a year - which is realistic b/c it isnt a $300 rolling computer bag -- then I would definitely replace it with the same bag.

    This bag is pretty great. I was using a diaper bag to store my work supplies but it go to a pount where I was throwing my shoulder out due to the weight. So I took a chance on this bad girl right here. First the handle is a little wobbly, not a huge issue for me, but might be for someone else Second this thing can hold some serious stuff. I can fit a kokuyo novita binder, an a4 kokuyo slide binder, a big size happy planner, a 10 inch tablet, a legit lab bag in bag large size, a pen pouch, 42 pens (yes I have a stationary addiction, no I dont want help. Im perfectly happy being the crazy pen lady) two clean pouches with a stapless stapler, white out and other odds and ends, a full pack of diaper wipes, a water bottle, and I could fit two more slide binders with ease. And five packs of kokuyo sarasara paper. This all weighs in at 35 pounds that I was hauling on my shoulder. This bag is a flippimg god send. Its made well, the zippers are holding beautifully, the stiching is great. The padded pocket is in the middle to keep your laptop safer. The handle tucks away inside a little pocket if you want to carry it by the straps. And just a side note, I have three dogs, two cats, and a birb. So far no hair has stuck to it, which is a flipping miracle in this nut hut. With white pets, the hair shows on black like a neon becon and so far I still look almost professional. (Well the bag does anyway.)

    I am a notary public/notary signing agent, and needed a bag for my supplies. This one is PERFECT. It is wonderfully lightweight, does not tip over while rolling, is easy to just pick up with the handles instead of rolling, and fits all my supplies wonderfully. I might prefer it if the pockets for pens, etc. were configured a little differently, but thats a minor complaint. I love that I can keep my notary public supplies in one compartment, and can use the other compartment for loan signing documents. I purchased separately two legal-sized expanding pockets to put in this compartment, so I can keep my two copies of loan documents easily separated and unrumpled. I highly recommend this bag! Oh, and at first I was afraid I couldnt lock it, but discovered that it works just fine to slip a luggage padlock through the loops at the base of the zipper pulls—yay! I would totally make this purchase again!

    The case looks very professional. I have problems with the retractable handle: 1) it isnt very sturdy, 2) it is difficult to extend / retract, and 3) it wobbles. It is lightweight probably due to the lack of interior space.
