CoolBELL Convertible Backpack Shoulder Bag Messenger Bag Laptop Case Business Briefcase Leisure Handbag Multi-Functional Travel Rucksack Fits 17.3 Inch Laptop for Men/Women (Canvas Dark Grey)

Ive had this bag for just over 14 months now and use it on my daily bike commute to work. Pluses - it has great storage and compartments, with deceptive amounts of room for items such as a laptop, clothes and a bunch of smaller pouches for just about anything. The design is great. So whats not to like? Well, I use it more like a backpack (rather than the optional shoulder bag) and it just hasnt held up. Ive had one strap repaired once by a local repair place and the strap is starting to come apart at the seams again. Could I be overloading? Perhaps. But for a bag to get high ratings, its gotta do the miles and hold up better than this. For anyone who commutes to work by train, bus or car, or travels by plane often, it truly is a versatile bag that may be perfect. It just hasnt held up for me.

I like this bag, but I ordered it in two colors and Im glad I did because they are very different fabrics. The canvas one reminds me of my dads bag in 1985, so its not cool - especially for a woman. It looked like the light gray was a different fabric, but it was hard to tell online, so I ordered it and was happy that its a lighter weight smooth material with a linen look to the weave. The zipper pulls are big and shiny and a bit noisy, so I replaced them with silicone colored ones and it looks much cooler (and not as cheap). I also replaced the shoulder strap with a patterned one and it helps it not look so boring. With these adjustments Im happier with the look and Im able to enjoy the awesome functionality of this bag without feeling like its lame. Ive had several other laptop bags and my requirements are lots of compartments to keep things separated and organized so I dont have to dig for everything. I also need the slip for the roller bag on the back for traveling. I love the fact that I can also convert this bag to so many different carrying options. I dont use backpacks, but I like having the option with this bag so when getting on/off planes Im not hitting people with my messenger style bag. I search far and wide for a new bag after a recent long trip and this was the best I found - at any price point. It would be nice if it had a water bottle holder though. BTW - I was also looking for a vegan bag, which reduced my options since leather is hard to avoid.

Excellent material, sturdy. This bag holds everything I need for work, plus lunch, wallet, umbrella, and plenty of room for more. I love all the pockets, but its best feature in my opinion is the convertibility. It can be a backpack, side messenger bag, or briefcase. Unisex design that looks professional and casual at the same time.

I LOVE this bag. I am constantly on the move with a ton of items and this bag handles it all. It is also very tough and the variety of carrying options makes sure you are carrying safely no matter the weight.

I got this for my brother in law, he liked it so much. I highly recommend this for anyone who is planning to buy a convertible Backpack Shoulder Bag

My laptop measures 16.5 inches wide and it fits comfortably in the intended padded sleeve. Fabric is thick, zippers are sturdy.

This is exactly what I was looking for. I needed something that would protect my laptop and carry all of my office supplies for on the go. I lets you organize everything in all the compartments. The material looks good. I didnt have the problem others had where the hook to the strap was too little, everything works fine. I am very satisfied with the product.

Amazing bag! I love how there is a lot of room to put things in. There is a spot for the laptop with a foam (maybe for cooling; wasn’t paying too close attention to instructions) that is secure while leaving room for paper and other things. Straps are comfortable and have lots of cushion. Best purchase!

Im a short woman, about 53, and fairly normal in terms of body shape; I needed a knapsack type bag to carry my 17.3 Dell laptop, instead of a side-slung messenger type bag, since I had been ill recently and my family/friends advised me that it would be better for me. I also didnt want a large backpack, since Ive seen a couple of my colleagues carry backpacks that look like theyre going to hike for a month. I like this backpack because its very slim in comparison to theirs, yet it has so many pockets and inner spaces that can be used. It has pockets that can be used to hide the short handles, and the long strap is also there if you need to carry it as a messenger-type bag. I have not used the long strap at all, because using it as a backpack is so comfortable for me, once I had adjusted those straps to my comfort. I only use the short handles to carry it for very short distances. I really like it because it can be stuffed into overhead compartments in buses/planes very easily because its relatively slim. I like the canvas-type material; it seems sturdy and hides any dust/dirt, although I plan to wash it now and again. My laptop fits in it PERFECTLY. Anything bigger than a 17.3 Dell Inspiron is going to be problematic. I have a wireless mouse, and I leave in the little USB thingy that communicates with the mouse. It still fits in there as long as I slide in the laptop very carefully. Once my colleagues see it, they really like it. However, they tend to carry nearly everything in their laptop bags, while I reserve mine for the laptop and its accessories, a few books and some other small things.

A bit bigger than I expected, but delivers on the promise.
