Great briefcase. Smart strap is amazing.

Love this briefcase. Replaced my Samsonite briefcase also with a “smart strap” that had fallen apart after a decade of daily use. This briefcase is lighter and useful with all the compartments. If it had a water bottle holder it would be perfect.

Durable, Professional and Useful Bag What More Do You Need?

Fantastic bag. Looks highly professional, and for a busy man who uses this bag about every day of the week, it's quite durable. These are the same bags we bought about 5 years ago, but the price is far better. We really like the retractable strap and all those great compartments!

Highly recommended - a top quality bag.

This bag is EXACTLY what I wanted. Here's why: - The retractable handle is a phenomenal feature. No more hassles of the bag strap getting caught on door handles, etc. - The actual handles are great because when I don't have the bag loaded with 20 pounds of stuff, I can carry it like a traditional briefcase. - The two outer most pockets are legitimately accessible at all times when the bag is thrown over your shoulder. - Definitely does have the capability of carrying 20+ pounds of random stuff around. - The accordion style pocket on the near side is great for stashing papers and folders.

Super durable laptop bag.

I got this bag about 6 months ago. I was shipped the wrong bag, but Amazon quickly replaced it with the right one. I was looking for a bag that would stand on its own, holds my Thinkpad E550 15.6" laptop, and is durable. I work on an ambulance for 12 hours a day, so I really need something tough. I use this bag almost everyday and it has held up great through the abuse I put it through. I was worried about the retractable strap being poor quality, but it seems to be very good quality. It does not get bunched up or snagged. It almost feels like seatbelt material. I carry my laptop, charger, mouse, Xbox controller, and large headphones everywhere I go. This bag has no problems carrying all that junk, plus notebooks, pens, flash drives, sunglasses, and whatever else I think I need. The laptop area is very well padded, using the space created for the strap retracting mechanism. The quality of his bad is superior than any other bag I have used. If this bag ever breaks, I will be getting another one. Have no fears, u are buying a great product.

A Solid and Roomy Portfolio

This portfolio is well constructed and the smart strap is is indeed a smart idea and work as advertised. It has a lot of compartment and the laptop compartment has a strap to hold down the laptop in place. There is a small accessory bag which may or may not fit your power supply but it is an added bonus.This bag is so roomy that it can fit every conceivable document and laptop accessories you may have and still have plenty of room left. I expect it to last a long time as it seem to be made of durable material. NB:p Even though the stock photo shows something that look like a cell phone pocket on either end the unit I received did not come with any such pocket. Perhaps amazon ships whatever model at hand or the photo may be of an older model but this is not enough to deduct a a star. I am happy with this bag.

Great Briefcase

This briefcase replaced one exactly like it, that had worn out over 5 years. Luckily, this was at a lower price than I paid 5 years ago. Plenty of room for supplies, laptop, etc. I also use it as my carry-on bag on flights, and it's a perfect size.

Just about perfect for my needs.

Others have said that this bag is not built as well as it used to be. I had this same bag for years some five years ago. As far as I can tell, there are only four differences in this bag from the earlier ones. First, the zipper pulls are different now. They don't say Solo anymore. Second, the retractable strap now has a "racing stripe" on it. Third, the shoulder pad on the strap now has a textured surface in order to prevent it sliding off your shoulder when your wearing a slippery nylon-type jacket. Fourth, The bag no longer has an outside pocket for a cellphone. As far as I can tell, the construction is of the same materials as the earlier bag. The zippers look similar as well. . I really like this computer bag! The biggest advantage it has over almost all the other computer bags I have tried is that it STANDS UP. It really bothers me when my computer bag flops around, falls over and I have to pick it up again just to use it. It might be a minor foible for most people, but it annoys me. Due to the retractable strap mechanism, this bag has a stiff frame in the middle that keeps the bag from falling over. The retractable strap works very well and now that it has a textured shoulder pad, it stays put when carried. The only improvement I would make to this bag is to put zippers on the inside pockets. These pockets tend to flop open and have to be moved aside when putting your computer in the bag or the can catch on the corners of the laptop. That is the only thing I would improve about this bag. It has plenty of room and all the pockets are easily accessible. As far as the cellphone pocket, it was really only big enough for a flip phone and I wouldn't carry my smartphone in that pocket anyway. This is a great computer bag!

I love it!

I take this bag literally everywhere with me. It carries a lot of the things I need when I'm going to be away from my main work area. I'm usually able to fit my laptop, tons of cabling, a few handheld game systems, pens, paper, etc without it feel at all heavy or cumbersome. The addition of the automatically retractable shoulder strap is an amazing feature and it makes me happy that when I just want to use the handles to quickly move the bag that I don't need to worry about tripping over the larger shoulder strap. Great purchase!

My new favorite laptop bag!

Absolutely LOVE this laptop bag! Roomy and very well made. Will fit up to a 16 inch laptop with thick padding on all sides to hold it securely. The retractable strap works flawlessly and is definitely MUCH better than dealing with a regular shoulder strap! Also, this bag will hold a decent amount of weight without seeming like there is any stress on the retracting strap mechanism at all.

Exactly what I wanted

There's not much you can say about a laptop bag but this is about as good as it gets for me. There are plenty of storage pockets for external drives, pens, paper files if desired and so on. Zippers are decent quality as well. The biggest thing to me is that when I set it down the strap neatly recoils and is not laying all over the place. It 100% met expectations and I have zero complaints.
