Samsonite, 10 plus years and it's still traveling down the road!

Beautiful Briefcase, made of the highest quality standards. I'm purchasing this bag to replace an excellently made and organization was thoroughly thought of when this bag was originally designed. I purchased this to replace 1 that I bought for my husband over 10 years ago.was desHusband over 10 years ago, which actually is in very good condition considering its age! The only issue is a zipper on it has broken. The briefcase he is trying to replace now has so much organization, and is so durable it's hard to get rid of it. Another issue he's having is they do not make that style briefcase any longer and we can't find one even close to compare it to. Our next step is going to try to find an upholstery shop who may be able to replace the zipper in the current bag he owns. The new bag is beautiful it's just not built as organized as he currently owns, and it's not enough for his business needs. If and when we do buy him a new bag it will definitely be another Samsonite product. After using his current bag daily for over 10 years it's going to be next to impossible to replace it with anything comparable, even from Samsonite.

Solid Compact Carrying Bag

This bag works great for what I needed: A nice looking, compact shoulder bag to carry my laptop and a binder of documents, along with pens, & accessories. I can even fit the tupperware container with my lunch in it, although it is a tight fit. I haven't had any problems with the construction quality of this item, and am happy with how it looks. The only drawback I could see is if someone were looking for something with a little more room bulk-wise. Basically, the bag is designed for fairly thin things to be put into it, so if you have an object that is wider than 3 inches, it's not going to fit very well, and will affect any of the other things you have in the bag. A nice byproduct of this bag's design is that the handles for the bag are designed to curl inward toward each other. That way, you don't have to fumble to get both handles together if your other hand is occupied already in order to pick the bag up. Another nice advantage of this feature is that it's great for holding a coffee thermos/sealed cup while the bag is on your shoulder. The handles curl in nicely to secure the container, cradling it and freeing up your other hand for whatever else you need to carry.

A very light, pleasant, well-thought-out briefcase

I've had any number of briefcases similar to this one but this is the best so far, for the following reasons: a.) It is nice and light; b.) It actually stands up by itself! c.) The handles don't collapse, so you can pick it up with one hand. Maybe it won't be too durable, as some others have said, but it's certainly a pleasure now. I was briefly diverted from briefcases by messenger bags, which are currently the rage for some reason. I found them despicable. They don't stand up, they slip off your shoulder and it takes both hands to open them. Horrible contraption, unless you perhaps are a 21st Century messenger, in which case wouldn't you be digital instead of walking around with a feed sack around your neck?

Very nice compact bag

This is a great bag. I've wanted a nice elegant bag which I could use to carry my laptop and a couple of other things to work and I have not made a mistake by going with this bag. First of all, the outside design is very sleek, elegant and professional. The inside has a separate laptop compartment that easily fits my 15ish inch laptop (widescreen) including its protruding high capacity battery. The main compartment fits a couple of books and folders and has two slots which are perfect for medium-size notepads, one of which I use to store my mouse. Another compartment has a number of dedicated slots for pens, your phone and the like, in addition to same general use area. I don't really use the smaller external pocket for anything, but I imagine it could be useful for quick access papers. The craftsmanship seems very good and the bag feels very sturdy and capable of carrying the weight I subject it to on a daily basis.

Beautiful leather, elegant design, checkpoint friendly

Very pleased with the quality and size of this, and it is indeed checkpoint friendly. Good assortment of pockets inside. Can be used to carry multiple laptops with ease, or a single laptop with oodles of additional storage room.

Lots of space, stylish, and not too bulky

Love this briefcase. I had a three gusset expandable brief I got from Wilson's Leather a few years ago, but the handle broke a while back, and since I didn't have time to shop for a new bag, for several months I was using both a computer backpack, and a freebie messenger bag I got at a trade show. Tired of looking like a schlub, an having people asking me if I worked for [company name on the free bag], I decided I needed something a bit more professional looking. Looked at a lot of different bags, some twice as expensive as this, and this seemed to have the right blend of looks, storage options and versatility. Once I got it, I realized I wasn't wrong - it is very slick-looking, but not so fancy that I can't wear it in casual dress. Zippers all work very smoothly, and the hardware is finished in a tasteful brushed silver. As for storage - the front pocket fits knickknacks like earbuds, several pens, cards, etc, with a padded cellphone pocket that fits an iPhone or a large-ish Android (Samsung Galaxy S II) perfectly. A small zippered pocket inside the front pocket - if it were a little bigger to fit a passport, that would be awesome, but it's not a huge deal, as it's the perfect size for cleaning cloths for my cellphones and tablets. The middle pocket has two padded pockets side by side, each taking up about half the width. These are the perfect size for notebooks, or 7" tablets like my Nexus 7. The remaining space is separated into two compartments by a stiff divider - I throw my iPad into one compartment, and things like a charger, headset, travel accessories, etc. into the other. Finally, the laptop compartment fits my 14.1" Lenovo well, with a bit of extra room on the sides. Don't expect to throw a charger or any bulky accessories in the lapotop compartment - while most other briefcases I've had have a bit of room for stuff like that in the laptop pocket, in this bag, those should go in the middle pocket. You can put notebooks in here, but more than a Moleskine or a slim training manual would be a tight fit with anything but a slim ultrabook or Macbook Air. Overall, this seems a very good deal as long as you don't pack a lot of accessories - if you're a hardcore road warrior, and tend to pack bigger accessories like a dock, travel projector, or extra charger with you, it will be a tight fit, and you'll want a wheeled brief. But for the average business traveler, this is an excellent choice, and very well laid out. I'll try to put some pictures up when I can.

good quality case

genuine leather. good quality case. sturdy. lightweight. highly recommended.

Excellent Product - Safely Delivered by Amazon

Everytime I order something on Amazon, in addition to the listed price I have to take into consideration the high cost of bringing it from the USA to India and also contemplating whether the condition of the product would be compromised by the time it reaches me. I will first detail the product - it is excellent and nothing similar to any of the 3rd. Class Products Samsonite sells in a 3rd. World country like India. The leather, zippers, auto-close handles, shoulder strap and the interiors are all of very good quality and high visual appeal. The product quality assures me of durability and I will be happily using the product for several years. Secondly, I will talk about the packing. The Samsonite Brief was carefully packed by Amazon in a complete outer carton which snugly enclosed the actual Samsonite carton containing the leather brief inside. The boxes were open when I received them maybe because they would have been opened by the Indian Custom Authorities for a physical check but the entire product was received by me without a single blemish/scratch. No wonder Amazon is the top online retailer in the world. The landed cost in India for a product listed for US$ 99 on the Amazon website worked out to be around US $ 142 but even at that price it was a steal.

Fantastic work bag!

I had to get a new work bag as my previous one suffered from the frequent abuses and abrasions in this world. The former bag was made of that synthetic leather material, where edges were becoming frayed and worn. This geniune leather bag has not only stood up to some of the rigors of my work, but it maintains its supple and clean appearance. Great storage space and options for the professional on the. Pens, mobile devices, documents, personal IDs/cards, and a generous laptop/table space make this bag a delight to carry around. You can feel the quality of the leather with the modest heft in lifting it up, but not some laboring weight to carry around (it's more the laptop you feel inside that contributes to weight). Really, no complaints about this bag. The inner material stands up to the random corners and edges from pens, card stock documents, and other plastic and metal bits. The zippers are quality with no snags or derailings. Haven't tried the shoulder strap yet (don't wanto be accused of carrying a purse, after all), but I keep it on hand for later. Seams are sturdy with no signs of fraying or loose ends. For the price, you'd be an idiot not to get it.

Fantastic briefcase. Used for over a year now and really, really like it. Very professional, sturdy, and tons of room. I fit my work laptop, pad and pen, book for reading on flights, mints, laptop charger, and phone charger in it comfortably. Travels well and no issues
