   This bag is very disappointing. I spent two weeks deciding whether or not to buy it because I needed a laptop bag, it had a nice design and was slightly cheaper than timbuk2 bags. It also looked like it had a lot of useful pockets.

   My main disappointments are:
   
   (1) Poor materials – it’s all made of very cheap, synthetic materials. My friend just got a nice timbuk2 bag for slightly more an it’s much better quality from a materials perspective.

   (2) The size – maybe it’s fine if you just want something pretty to carry around and throw in your car because you drive everywhere. But as someone who bikes frequently – it’s stiff form and bulkiness is not conducive to biking. I think this bag looks too big on anyone who is not supermodel height.

   (3) It’s beautiful gold pattern has been stamped on and I’m sure that with time will be scratched off.

   (4) My MacBook is literally swimming around in it – it’s not well-designed for laptop safety. I also have a dell 15.4 inch and it swims around too.

   Maybe my expectations are too high – I expect a durable product that I will have for the next 20 years. The cool design I thought would simply be icing on top.

   I wish the amazon website had better descriptions of the products they advertise – I’m very disappointed in both this bag and the overall amazon site.

   I bought this messenger bag for my 17″ Dell Inspiron E1505 and love it. I’ve gotten tons of compliments on it and always makes a positive impression. My computer fits great inside the removable pocket, the cushion is thick, and holds everything tight. The additional zippered pocket inside has slots for pens, pencils, notepads, wallets,ipods, etc etc etc. The exterior slide pocket holds folders or soft cover 8×11 inch deals well.

   The only slight gripe I have with the bag is the fact that the metal hoops where the strap attach slide around, hanging more “vertical” than “horizontal” – which irritates me. I find myself adjusting this about 50% of the time when I first pick up the bag. Though the strap itself can be adjusted to any length to accomidate people of any size and is nicely padded.

   Overall, I think its a great product for the price, and know that when I someday move onto my next laptop I’ll keep using the bag. It fits my lifestyle well and think that most people would be happy with it.

   This bag is extremely durable but looks so fashionable you don’t really expect it to be as durable as it is. It comes with a padded insert for your laptop and has a pocket in the back for storing things you need to reach quickly. The padded shoulder strap makes it a comfortable laptop bag. My husband liked it so much he asked if it was for him, to which I gave him an emphatic “No”. Amazon had the best price for this bag and the Laurex brand has great designs to pick from.

   I bought this bag a few months ago and like it still. The design is just as pretty in person as it is on the website, and I’ve gotten a lot of compliments on it. There’s plenty of room inside for my rather large laptop, and the organizer pockets are usefully designed. There’s also a hidden inner zip pocket that’s great for carrying a wallet.

   There are only two things I don’t like:
   
   1) Some of the stitching tore through on my bag about 2 months after I had it. It’s mostly a cosmetic flaw and the bag is still useable.
   
   2) The shoulder strap attaches to the bag with a rectangular metal ring that is sewn into the bag. The metal ring tends to slip sideways when the bag is carried, which bunches up the strap and looks awkward.
