I love this bag. It is very well made and roomy enough to hold my laptop, several school books, lunch, and other items. The 2 large divided sections, and smaller zipper pockets on the front and sides help keep this grad student a little more organized. The handle is long enough, and the backpack feature lets me carry the heavy bag down the stairs if I don't want to wait for the elevator. I shopped around extensively before deciding on this bag, and I am definitely pleased with this purchase.

I bought this as a gift for an Intern, as they have to carry lots of books and things from one place to another. Was very happy with the leather and it seems to be well-made. The telescopic handle played a big part in purchasing this item, it is long enough to roll comfortably. The price was great, as I did shop around. Very happy with this purchase.

This is a terrific rolling backpack for the money. It is spacious and well made. Double wheels on each side make it easy to roll and stable when standing upright. It would make a perfect gift for any student.

This is a rather large and spacious backback. The wheels make it very versatile when you have both books and laptop to carry. The side pockets are good for keys and cell phones. Note: larger laptops will be a tighter squeeze, and will require a cushion case of their own (one 15" case included).

I purchased 2 of these backpacks for my kids to use for school. I got tired of having to buy a new backpack every year because of the nylon bags getting torn up, the plastic "feet" cracking and not keeping the pack upright, and the wheels sticking. I am hoping that the leather will prove to be more durable and will last for more than a school year. So far, I am very pleased with my purchase. The packs are large enough to hold all the heavy books and lunch boxes, etc. and they roll with ease. Other reviews I read mentioned having to cut the optional shoulder straps off to prevent them from dragging. Not so. They can be easily tucked in and kept out of the way. Simply tuck the straps in where the handle pulls out, unzip the bottom and pull the straps through. Some binding of the longer straps may be necessary, but once you zip the bottom back up, the straps are concealed with no cutting involved! If you are considering this backpack and are still on the fence, jump off and make the purchase. You will NOT be sorry!

The backpack is very nice. However, it is larger than I expected.

All-in-all a very good purchase. The backpack is a great size and has just the right number of pockets etc. My only concern was the zipper-pulls (not the zippers themselves) came off on two of the zippers and I had to re-attach them. Aside from that, I have already used it on two trips and I love it !

I bought this bag to carry my school books. It has done the job for me. The bag including books weighs in at 37lbs. I have used it for 7 weeks now. No Problems. Thank You Overstock, what a back and knee saver.

I purchased this backpack to use for a trip out of the country. It held up very well going from airport to airport. The only concern I have is the durability of the pull handle when extended. It felt like it might bend with little effort. Other than being able to put too much into it, making it difficult to put into the overhead storage, it worked very well.

I don't know when I'll travel next, but it sure seems like a good item, and is exactly what I was seeking. I do like the removable laptop bag, which would work equally well for a portable DVD player. I am looking forward to trying the flap that goes over the wheels and using it as a backpack when I need to do so. I think it'll be great for my sole piece of luggage for weekend trips to "nearby" places like Vegas or San Francisco for concerts and the like, and hope it will be a good carry-on for longer trips. It does conform to at least American Airlines' carry-on size constraints...I checked before purchasing it. I can't comment on its durability, since I have yet to use it, but I do like the size, the way it's set up (plenty of outside compartments as well as generous space inside--as I said, plenty for a weekend getaway), and the quality of the leather appears good. After reading some other reviews, I hope the zippers hold! But, I did buy it after reading those reviews, so I have high hopes for it. Hopefully, I've carried my LAST carry-on bag through an airport! LOL (Sorry to post this before I've taken it on a trip, but as I said, I have no idea when I'll travel next.)

Excellent value for price. Nice quality leather, pockets on side and seperate computer section with soft protective bag nice. Seems to be sturdy with strong zippers and comfortable shoulder straps. Telescoping handle good length. Negatives: it's a bit wider and larger overall than I had anticipated making it also a bit heavier. Zipper in large compartment only opens half way down on both sides limiting ease of packing. Telescoping handle is only for rolling/dragging behind you - if you push bag in front of you the handle collapses on itself.

Just bought this for my fiance and she is quite pleased with it so far. It looks really nice and the leather is pretty good quality. Definitely better than the old backpack she was lugging around for school. As far as durability, it is getting tested throughout the holidays, with a lot of travel. We will see how it does, but a good looking bag for the price that it was!

I purchased this item for a collage student, and I was so pleased with the apperance and quality. It is everything she needed and more.

I am very pleased with this leather back pack. It is a steal at the price Oversdtock is charging for it. A must by for the stylish student.

Bought this pack and have used it for approximately four weeks and noticed the straps are coming apart from the top seam...so very disappointed, because I really loved this bag. Also notice the seams on the inside have come undone, looks like they were just glued together.

The bag looks great. However i have only had it for two weeks and the strap that holds the handle has gone bad. It has raveled out.

I love the ability to use this bag as a backpack and a rolling case. It is very professional looking, and highly functional with lots of space. It also has a removable laptop case with a handle that came as a pleasant surprise to me. . Great buy!

I've used the bag on three trips so far and it works fine. Outside zippers are strong, stitching seems durable, handle and wheels work well. Leather is soft and seems to be nice quality. I especially like the leather flap that folds over the wheels when you want to carry it like a back pack. Only trouble is the inside lining zipper broke very easily - it's very flimsy, but I'm hoping to find someone who can repair it. It's a great value.

When we vacation, my husband always has it easier by rolling his "carry-on" stuff around...I have way surpassed him with this backpack. I love the room it has and the ease of use. I had to jiggle the handle to get it all the way extended at first, but it has been flawless ever since. Leather is leather. Durable and cleans up well. Great purchase!!!

This leather backpack is an excellent design. It has the versitality of being used as a traditional backpack when your load is not too heavy, but being able to utilize the wheels with the extendable handle for heavier loads makes it ideal. I purchased this for my husband who does a great deal of walking in his position at our university. He is able to fit everything from his laptop to his glasses, and everything in between. Being able to pull it behind him, just as you would a suitcase, saves his back and conserves his energy. That is important, especially when you are just a few years away from retirement! Leather is soft and of excellent quality, and I expect it to outlast his time left at the university!
