That Book Chick
> 3 dayI was a bit skeptical about this bag based on some of the reviews that I read. But, I figured since it was so much cheaper than a lot of the other laptop bags on here, I would take a chance and order it. Im really glad that I did. Ive had this case for a good month now and it works well. I have to tote around a lot of items for my job, and it fits everything comfortably. Looking inside my bag right now, I have the following items: 1) Laptop with power cord and full sized mouse 2) Two 1 inch binders 3) Three folders 4) A pair of flip flops 5) A few legal pads 6) My pencil/pen pouch 7) My 16 oz coffee mug I like that there are separate sections to put items in. My old rolling bag was more similar to a dufful bag with wheels, so I was always digging around the bottom looking for my smaller items. With this bag, I can get to things quickly. I probably shouldnt do this, but sometimes I pick it up by the long metal handle to get it up the stairs. Handle seems to be holding out and hasnt because loose or broken. It rolls upstairs, on uneven sidewalk pavement, across grass, etc.

Almost Satisfied
Greater than one weekI got this when work decided that we should return to the office. The storage capacity is ample and the laptop seems to be pretty well protected. The handle deploys and collapses easily and rolls well enough. My biggest complaint about this laptop bag is that it is not very sturdy. When gripping the collapsing handle while deployed, there is a noticeable amount of twist. I am not sure if this is going to be a problem in the future, causing the bag to fail prematurely, but for now it works well enough.

> 3 dayI use this bag to carry various tools, as well as a laptop and paperwork. Ive had it for 7 months so far and has held up just fine with the heavy load. The handle feels flimsy initially, but you get used to it - Ive never had a problem with the handle at all. The wheels do seem like theyre wearing a little...but I dont think most people are going to have 40-50 pounds of equipment in there like I do, so I think theyll likely last a while for most folks. I travel with this constantly. The bag DOES fit under the seat of most airlines (though not all, especially if the bag is full), but youre not going to have much room for your feet afterward. Overall, I was amazed at how well this bag has been holding up with the heavy usage it gets and the heavy load I have to carry around...especially when you look at the cost compared to the cost of similar name-brand bags known for quality. Ill definitely be buying this again when needed, but right now it looks like thats still a long time away.

> 3 dayGood bag, but the wheels are made of cheap plastic, which are loud, are all spent after 3 months of regular use. I bought replacement wheels (PU rollerblade, 62mm) which I will somehow install (Will need to cut the current wheel in order to access the axel and cut it, too. After cutting them, I will replace them with a removable axels and more durable and quiet PU wheels)

> 3 daySo I wanted to get some mileage on this bag before posting my review. I have had this bag now for almost 6 months and have used it regularly. I like the overall design of the bag, it has held up nicely, wasnt super expensive and took the weight of a backpack off my back (so a plus for those of us who have back issues). It has 3 zippered sections to put your things in. The first zippered section on the front has 2 pen pockets, 2 small pockets you can put pens or other things in, 4 business card pockets with a pocket the runs behind the business cards and 2 larger pockets that run horizontal behind all of that. (Ill include pictures to help show what I am saying) The 2nd section has a laptop pouch. I measured my laptop and its length is 15 inches and is 10 inches wide/tall when in pouch, but it is a 17 inch screen (horizontal measurement of laptop for those who dont know). The pouch is has a little bit of padding on the front and back, so your laptop is safe there. The bottom seems okay as well and my computer has not suffered any damage, but for some who are more particular about their tech, you may want just a thin layer of foam or other cushioning (depending on the size of the laptop, you may can it in a sleeve into the pouch). There is also room to put some files or a binder in this section as well. The last section is large enough to fit a 3 ring binder in, though you might fit a larger one if you dont have anything in the center section. The inside measurements are 13 inches tall from bottom to under the zipper and 15 inches wide from inside corner to inside corner. The dimensions listed in the product description say 17 (tall) x 14.5 (long) x 7.5 (wide) Moving along to the wheels and handles. The wheels seem pretty sturdy so far and I have not had any trouble from them. They also are not swivel, so this may be a no go for someone looking for a bag with swivel wheels. The cloth handle is sturdy and nice to have when having to lift the bag out of your vehicle or going up stairs. The extended handle has a little loose feeling (and may feel cheap if you have owned a more expensive bag, but from my understanding of others reviews of more expensive bags, this seems to be a common complaint about the extend handles), but from my experience with it, it has served me well and has not given me any trouble. Also I am 55 and the handle is just right. My supervisor has the same bag and he is probably around 65 and the handle extends out far enough for him too.

> 3 dayI take the subway to work everyday which is about 3/4 a mile walk on each end for me, so I needed something bigger than a briefcase but smaller than a carry on bag. This carries my dress shoes, laptop, my lunch and my kindle comfortably. It would make a decent overnight bag for leisure travel but youre not going to fit a suit in it. I dont think it would fit under your seat on an airplane but definitely in an overhead bin

> 3 dayI love this rolling laptop bag!!! I am a physical therapist working in a school district. For the past 3 years, Ive used a large bag that I carried on my shoulder. I began having a great deal of shoulder pain. My husband picked up my work bag one day and said This must weigh about 30 pounds...no wonder your shoulder hurts!! I knew I needed to find an alternative. I checked out lots of options for rolling bags and decided on this one. The size is perfect for my laptop and miscellaneous files I carry. It rolls easily on all surfaces. It has been a lifesaver for me!!! And no more shoulder pain.

> 3 dayFirst impression is that its a good rolling laptop bag. However, when I pulled out the handles, I had a really hard time extending it out completely. It kept getting stuck. Its doesnt smoothly maneuver in and out. Also, the handle extension is wobbly and feels like it could break easily. I just got it yesterday so well see how it works when I put it to the test.

Greater than one weekThis case is economically priced and delivers as expected and advertised. Unfortunately, there is one feature that is missing which makes a world of difference when traveling with other luggage pieces. I didnt think of this missing feature until I left the door with my 28 luggage and this rolling laptop case. After locking my door as I left for the airport, I had the 28 in my left hand and this laptop case in my right. As I began to roll them it became difficult to roll them simultaneously and in a straight line. Therefore I retracted the rolling handle of the laptop case and placed it on top of my luggage only to find that there is no way to secure it on top of the luggage. Other laptop rolling cases may have an opening in the back of the outer cover to place a larger luggage pieces handle through so that it is secured - stacked on top of each other and rolled with one hand. This laptop case doesnt have it, resulting in the need to PUSH the 28 luggage with this case balanced on top as opposed to tilting the luggage 45 degrees and pulling it in tow. As one would expect, it made it slower and less maneuverable to move with the 2 pieces, especially when crossing the street where there isnt a ramp. If this rolling laptop case had the opening in the back, it would be a 5 star product. As a consolation, the material is a more fabric like ballistic nylon, seemed durable, not too heavy of a bag, and rolled just fine. The wheels were of the right size...not too small and was able to take beating on my trip to Japan which required a bit of walking with the luggage. If you plan on taking this with other luggage on a trip, you may want to find one with an opening in the back.
