 Very Cheap Bag Feb 01, 2008
By OKPhins
I was so excited about this bag. The reviews, descriptions and photos were great and it is the correct size for my 17" computer. I was so dissapointed when it arrived. The material is so cheap. Yes, the design is very cute and the interior has great organization and room for everything. It's really too bad that the faux crocodile looks like plastic and the lining is low-quaility fabric. This is such a cute design I would have paid more to have the same style and design in higher qaility materials. It does not look very professional or like something that a successful person would carry due to the cheap plastic looking exterior, so I am returning the bag. I think Mobile Edge should make the same bag, keep the dust bag (nice touch) and the interior organization with higher quaility materials and they would have a success. I am going to make sure the bag I get is another brand and leather after seeing this one. The great thing is that Amazon makes returns so simple, so at least that will be easy and I will continue to buy from Amazon in the future.

 Finally! Beautiful functionality for a wide screen notebook Feb 11, 2007
By C. S. Ogryzlo
If you are shopping for a bag that fits the more unusual dimensions of a wide screen notebook (my notebook is w16" x h12"), this one is for you.
I ordered my bag via Amazon. It arrived on time, very well packaged and in addition it was stored in a black, soft Mobile Edge bag to protect it from scratches. This protecting bag has Velcro closures so you can use it again if necessary. Inside the lay-out is as described under technical details and as shown in the various pictures. I chose this type of bag because
- I like the look of a large, stylish, elegant hand bag vs. computer bag
- the inside provides the same functionality as other computer bags
- the price was appropriate
Make sure to check the dimensions of your computer before you buy the larger size of this bag (it comes in a smaller version). And yes, it is indeed rectangular in shape.
I'm a happy customer.

Perfect size Mar 23, 2007
By C. McGuire
I just received this bag two days ago, 3/21/07, and I'm happy with the quality and the size of it. It EASILY holds my Gateway 17" screen laptop...and all of the extras I need to carry. True, the vinyl doesn't look like real leather, but real leather would become spotted in wet weather whereas vinyl can just be wiped clean. One expectation I had that WAS NOT met: side-padding. The bottom of the bag has a little interior foam padding (and little metal feet on the exterior to protect the bottom of the bag when put on the ground), but the sides of the bag offer no additional padding, pockets for everything :) but no padding. This is my first computer bag, so maybe the bags aren't made for side impact, but I was expecting more protection from a laptop bag. If I ever need to take my computer on a lengthy trip, I'm going to put a folded towel around my laptop. I recommend the bag, but I wish it had more padding.

Great item for large laptop Mar 09, 2007
By idocki1
I needed a large tote for my Dell Inspirion 9200 17" laptop-- not an easy item to find. I ordered this item and was very pleasantly surprised! The bag is really nice looking- perfect for business meetings and and the best thing is that it doesn't LOOK like a 'computer bag'. It's made really well and even has four metal 'feet' on the bottom to protect the bottom of the bag. Several people have commented on the great 'style' of the bag as I pulled out my laptop in meetings and they were quite amazed. Since large handbags are still really in style, it fits perfectly! Also, for most women, the 'black hole' problem we have with handbags is solved with the nice suede-like RED lining with lots of pockets and places to stash our 'stuff'. I actually don't have to carry a seperate handbag and everything fits in this one. I recommend it to business women who have a large laptop and want to avoid the bulky briefcase look.

Hideous!! Oct 16, 2010
By Anna Häusler
"banannalouise"
I read the reviews in which some said this bag looked cheap. But there were some that said it looked nice and was perfect, and well, let's face it--when you're shopping for a bag for a laptop that's bigger than 15.4", the pickins are slim. So I gave it a try.
The faux leather LOOKS very faux. The microfiber inside was soft, but looked cheap and the color made it look even MORE tacky. SUCH a disappointment. If I had spent under $10 at Walmart for this, I *might* find it acceptable. But this bag is obviously considerably more than $10, and given the price, is SO not worth it. I saw nicer bags in Target for around $20, if only any of them FIT my laptop!! I agree with another person who commented--if they had only made this as a patented leather faux croc and gotten rid of the Austin Powers-esque shag fiber on the inside, it would have been SO much more palatable. I'd advise to stay away from this bag for the money they are charging.
I have searched high and low for a replacement to this one I'm returning, and after much frustration, am landing on yet another Mobile Edge bag, because they seem to have the widest array of 17" bags, and, their design seems to be good, and construction seems decent, even if the materials were disappointing in the last bag. I've gone with the Madison microfiber Tote, which has real leather trim. I'll report on that when it arrives!
Also, FYI for anyone out there with one of those "tween" sized laptops like mine: I have a Samsung R580 laptop, which has a 15.6" screen, but only measures 15" across, and 10" down. Nevertheless, the much more common 15.4" sized bags DON'T fit such a laptop. For those of us with such sized laptops, in almost every instance, you have to go to a 17" bag. Best way to know if a bag will hold your laptop is to measure its outer edges and compare them to the bag's interior dimensions. Unfortunately, most online descriptions for laptop totes don't offer inner dimensions, or don't clarify which dimensions they're giving. Just thought I'd offer that up because trying to figure out which bags worked with my laptop was particularly annoying due to these reasons. Hopefully, someone else benefits from the fruits of my research!!!!
UPDATE 10/15/10: My Madison microfiber bag from Mobile Edge has arrived, and is considerably nicer than this faux croc...so the poor quality materials are not a lateral Mobile Edge trademark. The Madison has nice materials, is attractive, and quite sturdy. Go for one of those instead of this cheap, ugly bag!
