Mobile Edge Eco Laptop Messenger Bag 17.3 - Eco-Friendly, Cotton Canvas (17.3 Inch; MECME9) - Olive Green

I bought this bag for my partner at work and he loves it. The pockets are awesome for holding pens/note pads, etc.

Very happy with purchase. This bag is great.

This bag far exceeded my exceptions. It had a ton of pockets (more than I could fill), it was easy on the shoulder.

Seems like a decent bag for the money. That said, though I ordered a green bag and the tag attached to my bag says that it is green, it is clearly not green, but rather, brown canvas. The only thing that is green is the trim. Ill still keep, but ....

Very useful - plenty of pockets & compartments. Very functional and well worth the price. Velcro strips on exterior are great for putting ID tags, unit patches, etc. on the bag to personalize it.

Here is what the reviews said that I ignored at my peril:

Country of Origin is China, according to the home depot service department (I just called them)

I love this bag. Very good quality. Fits all my items, like laptop, charger, power banks, books, pens etc.etc.

Fairly rugged design, good look. However, the fact that the handle is biased towards the back side of the bag limits the utility of this thing; if there is no laptop inside to provide weight, the bag doesnt hang right, and instead angles in towards the carriers legs. Thus, it cant really be used as a general briefcase. I understand the rationale; putting the handle where it is allows the bag to be carried safely without the cover being latched. Had the handle been placed along the centerline, then lifting a full and unlatched bag would risk having the contents unexpectedly spill out onto the floor. So they made the right choice with their design constraints.

The bag itself is made well except for one small flaw...the placement of the carry handle is set back making it awkward if youre trying to use the handle and not the carry strap. It really should be centered which would make the distribution of the weight proper when carrying. I cannot imagine the logic that went behind placing the handle in such an awkward location. Other than that the bag itself was big enough for our laptop, I like the swivel clips for attaching the carry strap and the material seems to be heavy and should last us a good long while.
