Case Logic Canvas Backpack

 

Customer Reviews

In a sea of boring, corporate-America laptop bags, this attractive, simple-cut backpack spicily proclaims, "I am the new, young, hip generation of laptop carriers".
UNFORTUNATELY, attractive is not enough. Despite what the product description says, my 15.4" laptop (which is the exact dimensions specified above) literally SWIMS in the huge, gaping laptop sleeve in this backpack. While that's a plus for those who have larger notebooks, it simply wasn't what I was looking for. I will now have to purchase an additional neoprene laptop sleeve in order to cushion my 'book and keep it from sloshing about within the backpack's laptop section.
ALSO, there are unfortunately no slots in the bag for pens, pencils, cell phones, MP3 players, etc. There's one flat pocket up front (on the flap) with a vertical zipper, and a few larger, flat pockets behind the flap. That's it! I personally like organizing, and want to keep my pens tidily separate from receipts or pamphlets or whatever else.
All in all, the laptop backpack market is severely limited for those seeking an attractive, simple, and modern-but-not-corporate-work-horse looking bag. I would buy this product again, but only because the market is so limited.
IN CONCLUSION:
Pros: attractive backpack with a simple, subtle cut; comfortable shoulder straps
Cons: no pockets for smaller items (pens, phones, etc), lining feels cheap and thin, laptop sleeve doesn't appear to offer real protection for smaller laptops (15.4" and smaller).

I bought this backpack one year ago and wanted to use it well first before writing a review. After 12 months, here it comes: I absolutely love it. I take it to school everyday and on trips as my carry-on luggage. It is perfect for me. My laptop fits in nicely even when already packed in an extra cover. The bag has so much room in it and it is so sturdy. I got a green one (olive green) and it looks really nice. The straps are well cushioned and very comfortable, too. I have already carried tones of books in it but my shoulders never hurt. It has two pockets in the front with zippers which I use for pens, my wallet, etc. The only feature I miss in this backpack is an external bottle holder... it is a great buy.
