Prior to purchasing the Commuter backpack, I had been lugging around my laptop in a pretty but uncomfortable cotton tote bag. Now that I've had this backpack for a few weeks, I can't help but wonder what took me so long to get it!
The backpack fits pretty much everything I need - laptop, headphones in case, wallet, phone, 2 notebooks, Kobo, glasses in case, and a Teched Out Case, plus a few things I don't need but want to bring along with me (like a paperback or two). It's sturdy and seems to be holding up.
My main complaint is the strap for keys - it's long, which is nice, but attached lower down in the bag than I'd like, so I'm still digging around for my keys. That said, the lobster claw for it is fantastic, making it easy to add and remove keys quickly.
