Skooba Design

BEWARE! I've ordered this item twice from two different sites and they keep sending me the iPad-sized one, NOT the 14" laptop variety everyone keeps advertising. I'm starting to think it doesn't really exist. Good luck finding one.

I really liked this product to begin with - it is roomy and has a lot of pockets for organization. Unfortunately, the edges of the synthetic handles are fraying off already - after a couple of months. Thank goodness I bought it at Zappos with their good return policy.

I loved this bag when it arrived. However, after only a few months of moderate use, I now need to replace it. The main handles are falling apart and the over the shoulder strap is hanging on by a thin thread. Definitely highly disappointed in the quality of construction and durability.

Shipping was extremely fast considering where I am from. Unfortunately, the quality of the product wasn't durable, one of the elastic bands actually tore after one day use. It seemed to be sewn too close to the edge of the elastic band that it tore from the slightest tension. I am still using it minus that one holder and I love the product, I just wish it was better made.

In addition to having a protected section for a laptop, this is an extremely well designed bag. The inner compartment has a removable divider and four pockets, two of them mesh so you can see into them. The outside compartment has multiple pockets for small electronics, pens and even one designed for your USB. The inside color is an attractive blue so you can see what is inside the bag. Outside, the bag is professional looking. The carrying handle is comfortable -- it's wide to disperse the weight and stays on your shoulder. The bag holds lots -- I typically have two or three notebooks, some CDs, and one or more books in addition to my laptop. If you use a tablet that will fit fine with plenty of room to spare. I do think the bag is pricey, but it's worth it for the design features. (I find V.3 far superior to the smaller Skooba messenger-style bag I bought last year, which had some similar storage features but a stretchy strap that got twisted easily.)

My husband purchased this bag for me as a gift. There are many things about this bag which I love - the gazillion pockets for holding stuff, easy access to said pockets, enough room to hold my MacBook and iPad, lightweight and stylish. What I cannot stand is that it started tearing in two weeks. Within a month the strap was almost shot, I had to keep moving it around, and the interior lining started to disintegrate. At two months the strap broke in the middle of the street. We will be returning this bag, which makes me sad because I love it. Alas, it is unusable at this point and must be returned. It is a great bag. I wish it was made better.

This is one great bag! Inexpensive, not cheap. I really like the three modes of carrying my iPad with this bag, as a tote (with nice handles), a simple skin, or as a shoulder bag with a very nice adjustable shoulder strap. The removable clips on the shoulder strap are rugged metal snaps as durable as the ones on my Tumi and Briggs and Riley bags. The small tab at the bottom of the bag is a nice touch, making it easy to pull the iPad out of the bag without having to get a full-hand grip on the iPad. I was worried the neoprene material would rip or tear easily, but that's not the case. It's thin but strong, slightly stretchable but still firm, soft to the feel but tough in protecting my iPad. I'll say it again, at the price this is one great bag.

These are nice items. I have a large cannon camera I bring on trips great for scenery, but heavy and I always have to bring a special bag padded for it. This trip I wanted to travel lighter but didn't want to worry about my camera getting scratched or smashed in a bag. I got these squares. I use the middle sized one and it wraps nicely around it. It won't protect it from getting dropped, it isn't that thick or padded, but it will protect it from getting banged around in a bag or scratched by other contents. The smaller one is great for a small camera or a DS or PSP or anything else small, and the large one can fit a netbook, which I will use during another trip. The middle one is great for a kindle or an iPad also.
