CoolBELL 17.3 inches Convertible Laptop Messenger Bag Oxford Cloth Shoulder Bag Backpack Multi-Functional Briefcase For Laptop/Macbook/Tablet Men/Women (Black)

I bought this bag due to being on a budget. Ive used it for about two weeks and its amazing! Ive gotten compliments due to its color and the protection my laptop gets. Im a case manager who is always on the run and thanks to this bag life has been easier.

I havent had it for long, my laptop fits perfectly. There are a few things i dont like about the bag and that is I cant fit all of my books, and i have about three big books and a couple of small notebooks. The other thing is it ripped after I had the bag for almost four weeks. The bag is not durable, so if thats what you are looking for. Dont get this bag, if you are looking for durability and capacity wise.

Ive been using this bag for a few months now and love it. Its durable and well made. I love being able to throw it on my back to travel through the city then quickly change over to the briefcase sleek professional look when entering a business meeting. The inside design is very practical - I especially appreciate the extra padding where my laptop sits. I had a question with customer service and they were so easy and agreeable to work with. Great product!

First and foremost, I need a convertible backpack which allows for transport - all materials needed for the long days on campus (grad student). In addition, I need the professional aspect to function as a briefcase. Solely on those points, this bag fits the bill. (BTW - no discount or freebie here for this review - I paid for this!) PROS: 1. Material: feels and looks professional, good color, seems at the very least to be water repellent 2. Zippers: seem strong enough, especially when loaded - two of them house the briefcase handles 3. Padding: quality - on the backpack straps and particularly the section directly meant for the computer 4. Compartments: although the pictures do not necessarily show this, there are zippers on the outside, and inside, a pocket with divisions for pencils/pens/highlighters. CONS: 1. Backpack adjustable straps: are on the lower part not allowing for easy adjustment while on your back 2. Lower connection backpack straps: hidden - cannot see whether sewn in well or not 3. Strap to hold computer in place: oddly long, which would allow for movement and sliding around, something you dont want your computer to do when inside 4. No compartment/pocket for a water bottle (my pet peeve) 5. PRIMARY (HUGE) ISSUE: Backpack straps which rest on upper trapezoids (left and right) are situated in a very uncomfortable position when fully loaded. Im unsure if its the angle or the placement, but the straps are too close to your neck and would cause pain. Primarily for this reason, Im returning the backpack. Sad because even with the other cons (more annoyances than anything else) if it were not for this one, I wouldve kept the backpack because the pros outweigh the cons. Pictures: Its important to see how a backpack will perform in my daily life. Therefore, the pictures provide a sense of how much stuff this can carry, with the contents both packed and unpacked. Contents: Lenovo ThinkPad T460 in neoprene case, keys, 1 1/2 loose-leaf binder, yearly planner, scientific calculator, computer power cord, small cosmetic case, large cosmetic bag which houses pens/pencils/highlighters/usb drive/mouse/headphones and wallet. Final thoughts: if only used as a briefcase/shoulder bag, this may be for you. However, if the primary purpose is to function as a backpack, good luck. I think another reviewer mentioned the oddly-placed backpack straps, but sadly, I ignored that advice. In addition, cannot ascertain the strength of the shoulder strap as I didnt want to break the seal, but it is pictured.

I walk to/from work everyday, covering a distance of 4 kms/5 miles daily. I needed a bag that would be comfortable as a backpack, messenger bag, or briefcase - depending on my mood and needs for the day. This CoolBELL bag fits the bill and more! Im surprised just how easy it is to switch from bag to backpack to briefcase and back; I sometimes do it several times a day, depending if I need to carry grocery bags or need to keep my lunch upright. The construction seems to be holding up nicely after a month of (ab)use, the navy blue color looks professional and chick, and the space inside is well utilized. One of the best purchases Ive done recently.

I love the fact that this has a slot to slip the bag over the handle of my luggage so that it will sit on top of my suitcase without falling off or having to tie the straps to the luggage to keep it on. It has plenty of room for my needs, so holds all the cords and cell phone stuff, tablet, and a few other things along with the laptop. It is perfect for my traveling needs. So far I love this bag and am hoping it holds up well.

Plenty of pockets. I love that it can be back pack, messenger bag or breif case. Very versitile. I used it for a recent flight. It held my lap top along with snacks, activities to keep myself entertained, my medicine and a clean t shirt. Great color. The straps are nicely padded that I didnt notice any added strain with carrying for a distance through the airport.

Love the the mulit use features (i mostly use it in backpack mode) . Only disappointment I would have to say is that my 17.3 inch HP Envy laptop will not fit in the padded compartment as I had intended when I bought it and barely fits the other.

I have been searching for a convertible laptop bag for quite some time. I purchased this brand based on a colleagues recommendation and I am pleased with my purchase. The shoulder straps are well padded and comfortable. There is plenty of storage space. You can add a lock to the section of the bag that contains your laptop. There are many pockets and multiple ways to access the front section of the bag. It is easy to convert the bag from a backpack to a shoulder bag. There is also a trolley sleeve on the bag so that you can attach the bag to the luggage handle of a wheeled suitcase.

Like the bag, but one of the backpack straps came with two female connectors so you cant connect them. This means it cant be used as a backpack. Ill change this review of vendor will send another connector as I really like the bag. Updated: vendor sending replacement and has reported manufacturing error. Changing rating based on vendor responsiveness as I love the bag other than connector issue.
