Swiss Gear SA1923 Black TSA Friendly ScanSmart Laptop Backpack - Fits Most 15 Inch Laptops and Tablets

This is an amazing book bag! Bought this for my boyfriend bc he went back to college to further his education ! First day he used it, he told me he was definitely glad that I bought it bc it has everything he needed far as space and pockets!

I do a lot of travel, both personally and with the military, and a durable carry on bag is essential for having a good trip. Ive never been a fan of rolling suit cases because it seems every time I get onto the plane, the overheads are full of bags that just barely make the cut off and Im stuck putting my things half way across the airplane. With this bag, you can safely stow it under the seat in front of you and have easy access to all of your things. I always make sure to have a system so I know exactly where my things are. Front pocket for phone and 3DS, upper front for charger, bottle of water in a side pocket and my tablet and a quick change of clothes for emergencies inside. So far this bag has gone on multiple flights and road trips and has held up beautifully. I would recommend this for anyone looking for a travel companion

Love this bag very strong and well built for rain resistance as well with two side water bottles holder

So my husband and I were arguing and he asked me for his backpack ,cause he had to go to school,which was upstairs. I wad still super angry at him so I got it....and threw it down the stairs. Halfway down the staircase I realized our only laptop was in it. This look of horror came across both our faces as we ran to the backpack to see if the laptop was ok.....and it was! So if ypu have a ragey wife that likes to throw stuff down the stairs GET THIS BACKPACK. Other than its awesome laptop section its a really roomy backpack. Lots of different compartments lots of different sizes its comfy and its sturdy as all get out. Weve had this for over a year now and its still like new even though it goes everywhere. If we ever need a new backpack (seriously this thing seems to be indestructible) we will definitely be getting another.

I bought this backpack as a replacement for another Swissgear backpack that the strap broke. Although it is made well and I like the amount of pockets it has, I do miss the large front pocket in the front top of the bag that I had on my other one. It was big enough to hold my phone and inhaler as well as any pill bottles I carried on the plane. The construction of this pocket - with the zipper facing down is poor, in my opinion. When you open the pocket with the bag upright, everything falls out of it. The main pocket is large and can hold books, notebooks, my large teacher planner, etc. The back computer pocket holds my 13” Ipad, 15” Dell computer, as well as all charger cords, extension cords, and any other computer accessories. Overall, I like the bag, but do not care for the “improvements” that were made to this design.

I dont normally write reviews but I read them often. I bought this based on the great reviews, the SwissGear name, and the nearly 50% discounted price at the time. One thing I did not see in the reviews but I think is very important to anyones satisfaction with a backpack is the ease of access, specifically how easily can the user open the various compartments to access their stuff. For the most part this pack does a great job of this with quality hardware and well designed placement of the compartments/pockets. However, there was one oversight in the design that draws my attention almost every time I open the pack. The main compartment has a dual zipper that has to pass the ends of another zipper of a smaller pocket on the front of the pack. The stiff ends of the smaller zipper are too close to the main compartment zipper and therefore impede the operation of the main compartment zipper without manually readjusting the zippers with 2 hands. A slightly wider gap at these 2 locations would have made the zippers function flawlessly without compromising the overall look of the pack. Modifying this myself to correct the problem would result in possible damage to the pack. As an engineer I have a hard time overlooking such a design oversight when the rest of the pack is of such high quality. Maybe my pack has a manufacturing defect causing this and that is why it did not come to my attention when browsing the other reviews. Its just something to be aware of. Hopefully SwissGear reads this review and can make sure the problem does not persist.

Want to make a fashion statement? Looking for something to coordinate with this years in color? Going to fish for compliments while you strut down the sidewalk? This is not your backpack. I have had this thing since 2010 and its been stowed in the car, in numerous overhead bins, under the seat, in the closet. All the while it has protected my laptop and the rest of the contents well. I have zero complaints about this backpack and I would absolutely buy it again. The separate pocket for a laptop has been a great feature during airport security screens. Also the size and shape of the numerous pockets has been a big help. Ive even found use for the carabiner. The handle on top is great, too. I never fumble for it and the grip is extremely secure. For me its just the right size to pull out from under the seat in front on a plane, tuck it behind my knees, and stretch out a little after takeoff. After 6 plane trips, a bunch of car rides, and just general tossing around it shows zero wear. Buy it.

My husband loves this backpack!

I have been using this backpack for almost a year now and I am really happy with the purchase. Swiss Gear makes great backpacks and is well worth spending the extra money to have a durable backpack that will last you for a very long time. I can manage to fit a lot of things in it without any issue for school or when I am going out on a trip. There is a lot of space and can put an extra laptop or device in it. There are plenty of compartments to it.

I use 2-3 backpacks for work and out of the last few I purchased, this one is my favorite so far, The compartments are well placed and hold what I need. This is well made, the zippers have held up for 6months without issues so far and the bottom is not sowing too much wear from beaing dragged across concrete and gravel while working. The best thing is that I can carry 2 14 laptops in the back compartments easily and well protected. The shoulder straps are comfotable even with the weight of 2 computers, cords and misc crap in the other compartments. I also have a small camera case and some tool bage clipped to the various attachment points on the pack. There are 2 elastic net type side pouches that fit a bottle of water in each. Fully laden for work, I probably have about 4lbs of stuff in this and have no problem going up stairs, ladders etc. Really just cant say how much I enjoy using this & on occasion, I have emptied all my work stuff out and used it as a week-end bag too. I would definitely buy another one when it is time for a replacement, but I dont see that happening soon. Maybe Ill buy a spare, just in case they stop making this exact model of backpack....
