Case LogicSporty Backpack 16"

Very robust. Made very well. Big zips for the main compartment, making finding the zips a bit easier!A good amount of internal pockets for pens, hard drives etc. Nice design. Shoulder straps have a good design and feel and do not slid eoff the shoulder like a lot of rucksacks do. Large enough for a 15 inch laptop with a few centimetres to spare. Good amount of protection for items in the rucksack. First time buying a Case Logic product and would buy again. Although judging by the quality of build, I think this will last quite a while!

I've had the backpack for a month or so now, and I must say that it is very good, it is made from high quality material, there is plenty of padding in the laptop compartment, there is a big zip for the main compartment which feels like it will hold up very well. It is also very comfortable to wear. I do however I think there could be more pockets, as it would be nice to have more places to organise my stuff.Overall I would definitely recommend this bag, it met all my expectations.UPDATE:I have had it for over a year now, and I have abused the hell out of it. I carry 3 FULL ring binders every day for school, paper, textbooks and other misclaneous items. As of this moment in time, the backpack has absolutely no signs of wear.

Great case, had it 6 weeks now and, as a student, its great for travelling to and from uni with. There's enough room for a laptop a good few books and then just enough space for a lunch as well. Seems well built. Usually I go for cheaper (~£10) but this seems like it's going to be worth the money in the long run - 25 year guarantee after all

Upon opening the box I thought the bag looked very small in comparison to the Dell bag it was replacing.Looks can be deceiving, the Dell was heavily padded out and heavy in comparison to the case logic.I decanted my laptop, charger, pens and other junk including my lunch and kindle and there is still room for my macbook which is great. The other thing is how light it is compared to my old bag. That along with the configuration of the straps make it soo much easier to carry around.The only gripe I have is that my laptop is quite big and just fits under the flap where the zip comes round (picture to illustrate) and a velcro strap would help keep the laptop from being in the way each time you close. If it had the velcro strap, it would be full marks. Great bag, highly recommended.

Edited August 12 2015 - it's nice when people come back to their reviews!Still love it. After countless office days, customer visits, airports security controls, trips to beaches, forests (yep, go figure), boats and whatever else abuse I've manage to through at it, still going strong. I had one small pierce (for insisting to close with something to big and sharp inside) and one zipper on the side pocket coming out (again my own doing, I am not careful with stuff).Original November 8 2012I looked for a long time for a well sized and smart looking back pack for using on business trips.If you don't have patience for a long review stick to the five topics. If you want to know why they were graded as they were, keep on scrolling.Overall, love it. Well recommended.Space 4/5Protection for Laptop: 5/5Built Quality: 5/5Comfort 5/5Style - subjective, not grading.>>> Space 4/5Pros:I have a Quick Silver back pack that I cherish and love, but the thing is huge, I mean turtle looking thing when on your back.For that reason I was looking for something smaller but with enough space for a 14" laptop, a SRL camera, my A4 note book and general bits and bobs.The Case Logic accommodates all that just fine. Yes, it fills it up nearly to its maximum capacity, but you can handle everything with ease without having to squeeze things in.The side pockets are particularly nice in this bag. They are very important for me as I like to keep a few things always handy such as my keys, cigarettes (I know, I know, leave me alone) and iPod. The zippers are upside down, in other words they open towards the bottom, what makes very easy and comfortable to reach for the pockets with the both straps over your shoulders.Not a con not a pro:Note that the side pockets will welcome a bottle/thermal mug without any problem, unless the thing is fully packed. The side covers are not elastic and therefore these pockets take some of the internal space when full. Not to worry but to be noted.Cons:The only thing to fault on the space section is that I would like to have a few more internal sections for things like USB sticks, cables, business cards, etc.The outer section has slots for 3 pens, a zipped pouch and two pockets that will fit a classic iPod size thing/external hard drive. For me that's not quite enough as I have to carry my bank password generator, business cards and a WD Passport external hard drive. So my bank generator and business cards share a pocket - not ideal. Not a deal breaker either.______________________________>>> Protection for Laptop: 5/5The padded part for the laptop is big enough for my TravelMate 6292 and iPad with plenty of room left.Regarding bottom padding is more than sufficient to protect everything if your sensible enough to not just drop it from your shoulder onto the floor. I am a very clumsy fellow and had no problems so far.No cons in here.______________________________>>> Built Quality: 5/5Pros.The thing feels and looks sturdy and strong. The material used has a nice enough touch feel and everything seems to be sewed together in a proper manner.The internal linen is quite nice and on a light grey colour which helps find the tiny little stuff.No cons.______________________________>>> Style - subjective, not grading.I really like how it looks. As I said in the beginning the main purpose was to use it for business even when visiting customers.It looks serious enough to pass as an executive back pack, and smart enough not to bore you to death like a Samsonite.______________________________>>> Comfort 5/5Pros.The straps connect on the top which spreads the load nicely over your shoulders and back. They are also quite broad helping in the same way.It's quite light so it won't add to your load.No cons.

I've used this back pack for over 9 years and it’s still in great condition, it has travelled all over the world with me as well as daily trips to work. It has withstood 40+ degrees to -14 degrees celsius. Comfortably fits a 16in laptop, as well as any accessories. You can also pack clothing if you're inclined to, however it should be packed appropriately to maximise the space. I've managed to pack a weekends worth of clothes (excluding laptop). The separate sections are ideal for travellers and easy access to the essentials. The top zipper part I would say is good for holding headphones, cables, coins and a number of small accessories etc but I wouldn't say it could fit a normal sized pair of sunglasses as the image denotes. Its water resistant to an extent, having been caught in the rain a few times, I've been lucky that the contents have remained dry although you can feel the fabric getting somewhat damp. To date the straps and edges have not frayed to extent I'd expect, given what I've put it through unlike other brands. Hoping for another decade of good use from this trusty backpack! Thanks case logic!UPDATE: At the 10 year mark, the black fabric is becoming visibly thinner and see through in places, resulting in being less water / splash proof than it used to be. Think it’s finally time to look at a replacement. Regardless it has served its purpose well and id still highly recommend it!

The compartments are perfect for everything you need and the build is great. Been my favourite for years now
