Great, compact, and inexpensive laptop bag for travelling
I've only had the bag for a few days, so these are still my first impressions.Durability: everything is firmly stitched and attached. The zippers pull easily and are of good quality. The attachments for the shoulder strap are plastic and stiff and may be a weak point, but they don't appear too cheaply made.Quality: the handles have a rubberized handhold area that prevents seams from cutting into your hand. There are no loose threads or wavy stitching. The exterior is made of thick, sturdy fabric. It's a soft-sided case, so don't expect miracles, but it should protect your laptop and tablet from most minor bumps and dings during routine use.Organization: the main compartment fits my 15.6 inch widescreen laptop perfectly. One of my requirements was not having a divider or strap to hold the laptop in place, and this one holds the laptop snugly enough not to need one. The tablet pocket on the front of the laptop compartment is designed for a 10-inch tablet, but is thin enough that it holds my 7-inch tablet with a slim-line case quite snugly. It may relax out some with use, but if you have a full 10-inch tablet with a bulky case it may be difficult to get the tablet in. The front compartment's divider sleeves are also quite snug. There is a zippered document pouch on the back wall of the compartment, putting whatever you stow there right in front of the tablet, so stick to the printed word rather than your wood screw collection. The whole front chamber unzips almost completely open, giving you easy access to things at the bottom of the compartment, which is quite nice. The open area is large enough to keep bulkier items like the laptop's power brick, but if you're like me and like to travel prepared for bear then you'll definitely need an additional bag. Considering I got this almost exclusively to store my laptop and charger and carry it to and from meetings, it suits my needs perfectly. If you want more storage then I would definitely go with a bigger case.So, all in all it is a great compact laptop briefcase. It's just big enough to hold the essentials and will fit your 15.6-inch widescreen laptop perfectly. It's durable and not overly expensive. If that's what you're looking for in a soft-shell briefcase then this is the one for you.EDIT: I've now owned this case for a few months and stand by my original opinions. It's nice and sturdy and has weathered my light use of it well. I do have one addition I've discovered: the back of the briefcase is firm and flat enough to act as either a mousepad or laptop tray in a pinch. It works well when I don't have somewhere flat or solid enough to set the laptop or if I want a buffer for my lap. I am supremely pleased with this briefcase, especially considering the price. Whenever it finally wears out I'm going to get another just like it.

Great bag. Not nearly as thick and bulky as it looks in the pictures. Lots of great pockets. Perfect for my needs.
I was debating between this bag and a slimmer looking bag also made by case logic. I was sort of leaning towards the other on because in the pictures this one looks really thick and bulky, which is something I didn't want.I ended up getting this bag anyway, because this one has more pocket space. I usually need to cary a fair bit more than just my computer with me, so I needed something with organizational storage pockets.What I usually keep in this bag:My 15" MacBook Pro Retina, which sits in its Deluxe protective sleeve from Incase in the large pocket of the bag. The laptop and sleeve fit perfectly in the main pocket.In the main pocket there is a sleeve for an iPad. This is where my iPad Air lives when traveling. It's worth noting that I keep my iPad in a bulky case (Incase Bookjacket) and it fits in there snugly, but it certainly fits.In the second largest pocket, the one on the front of the bag, I keep an external SSD drive, a flash drive, a couple pens and highlighters, my Logitech Anywhere MX mouse, A small case with my Klipsch S4i Earbuds in it, and a four port USB hub.Inside this second largest pocket, there is another pocket. I usually keep a graphed legal pad in there.On the top of the bag behind the zipper for the main compartment, there is a small pocket that is probably about six inches by six inches. It is lined in a soft fabric. I don't really use this pocket for much. If it was fifteen years ago this pocket would be perfect for a portable CD Player. I guess you could put your phone in it, or your wallet, but usually that all stays in my pockets. The one thing is that good about this pocket is that it is close to your body if you carry the bag facing out or on the shoulder strap the pocket sits close to your body, and would be hard for a pickpocket or someone with similar intentions to gain access to the pocket.All in all, this bag is great. Although I've only had the bag for a little while, I am confident that it will hold up to all the abuse I can throw at it because I've owned lots of other bags from the same company, and they all have withstood the test of time.

Comfortable bag that holds a lot
These bags are our standard issue for work laptops. Their shoulder strap has a comfortable padding and the bag itself is well insulated to protect from bumps and small drops. A 15” laptop fits easily inside, as well as a tablet and other files in the main compartment. In the front compartment you can easily fit a charging cord, mouse, and other supplies in the convenient little organizer pockets. The zippers seem to be made well and have remained in tact after repeated usage for the past year. The luggage strap on the back is perfect for toting through the airport security checkpoint. This is a very convenient bag that looks nice while protecting your electronics on the go.
