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

I love this computer bag. Its not heavy, but very roomy. Fits my laptop as well as an additional Monitor that I need for business. Also fits comfortably my tablet. Plenty of room for the cords and a purse. I love wearing it on my back, to free up my two hands and to even out the weight.

I bought this for my daughter to use in college. Shes been using it for three weeks now and she loves it! Shes a smaller girl and this is not too oversized and bulky for her. She hasnt used it as a backpack yet, she likes the ability to use it as a messenger bag. So far, it is wearing well. I would recommend this bag.

Great item for the price. I like that I have multiple options for how to wear this. Its great for getting through the airport and attaching to top of carry on luggage. Only downfall is I noticed the padding in the backpack straps is starting to move and bunch up after being used for four days.

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.

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 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.

I love the purple color. The bag fit my 17 laptop and there was space for other stuff to. Very durable. Great for travel.

I gave this to my dear husband for his birthday. He is hard to please about a laptop bag, and I was worried about his accepting a backpack type bag.....but he travels alot and lugging the old bag through airports trying to make tight connections was a struggle. Im happy to say he loves it! All the straps can be zipped up to conceal them if you want. Only 4 stars because I have concerns about the bags sturdiness. The design is great!
