This sling backpack is extremely well made, particularly at this price, and the design makes it very comfortable to carry a laptop and several books, as well as a wallet, pens, etc. I especially like the pocket for the cell phone on the strap, which makes the phone easily accessible while you're walking. It is very well padded. The adjustments in the strap make it easy to arrange the main weight so that it rests in the small of the back. The main problem for me is that I have a MacBook Pro, which has a 15-in screen, and the laptop sleeve inside the main compartment is sewn to accommodate a 13-in or smaller machine. After several attempts to get my computer to fit, I simply slit the stitches on the top end of the sleeve so I can slide the laptop into the pocket from the top. Not as secure, but I can still velcro the sleeve to keep it stable and protected by the cushions. It would have been better if the description indicated that the interior sleeve was designed for 13-in laptops. Nonetheless, the product is overall such good quality that I decided to keep it.
