  I really love this bag. I’ve taken great care of it but for some reason the sewing near the zipper is coming undone and now I can see inside my bag… I’m no expert at sewing, but I’m going to attempt to fix it. The reason I love this bag is the fact that it feels so light even with my 15″ macbook inside and other items. You can easily fit a notebook in it along with pencils, your laptop charger, and mouse. It has a little hole to slip your headphones from in case you want to listen to music on the go. Very nice design I’m just a bit depressed mine is breaking I still use it though, lol.

  This is a great bag! Sturdy and well-padded, but light. It is very small, though – it holds little more than my 15-inch Mac and some papers or small notebooks. I actually appreciate this feature as it makes me carry only what I need, which is easier on my back. It has lots of pockets everywhere, which is also very useful. I think my only complaint is how long the strap is. I’m not a tiny person, but I have the strap pulled as tight as possible and it’s still a bit big, plus I’ve had to rig it to keep the end of the strap from hanging down well past my hip.

  Overall it’s a great bag and I’m happy with my purchase.

  I bought this bag as an alternative to the traditional backpack because I wanted to be able to travel with a bag securely on my back with no hands needed. It is snug and comfortable to wear and holds my 17″ MPB as well as a book, the power supply, and a few other items. There are plenty of pockets to put pens, business cards, change, cash, etc.

  There are a couple of things to know concerning the bag though. If you have a 17″ MBP, the fit is quite tight and it *just* zippers around it. I don’t have a problem with this. Also, if you have an iPhone, the pocket on the strap that goes in the front will not fit it. I use it for my ID or whatever else I need quick access to when traveling.

  I really love this bag. It’s just big enough to hold the essentials and it’s lightweight. Love all the pockets and compartments, as well as the included bag for accessories. It’s a great buy!

  I love this backpack. I shopped around for a while before deciding on this style. I was looking for something understated and that wasn’t bulky. This is perfect; it holds my 15″ laptop, as well as one large textbook, mouse, power cord, wallet, keys, & cell. Fully loaded it can get heavy, but otherwise it’s very lightweight.

  I’ve had this bag for about 16 months. The zipper finally broke this past weekend because i tried to stuff too much into it. This bag held my laptop, digital camera, mouse, and some more small items just fine. I could NOT, however, keep a charger or spare battery in the bag, because it is too small and bulges outward. I usually keep spare batteries, chargers, and other items i need in a separate bag. In fact, i broke this bag when i tried to fit my laptop, mouse, camera, charger, spare battery, and a pair of sweatpants into the bag (i kid you not!).

  I’m now buying a new bag, but i won’t be buying this bag again, because i need a bigger bag. If you don’t have too many accesories for your laptop, this is a good, durable bag.

  The Belkin Cooling Stand looks great, but is ineffective. For my MacBook Pro (an older one, which runs very hot), it hardly drops the temperature at all. Also, the fan is very noisy. The “leg” in back of the stand, to hold it up, is flimsy and sometimes falls down. Not something you want to happen when your valuable computer is on the stand. Another thing missing is a switch – so to turn it off (because of its noise) you have to pull the USB plug.

  Belkin F5L001 Laptop Cooling Stand

  When you get it home from the store or out of the UPS box, it starts
  right away, quiet as a mouse.

  With time however, it gets nosier, like a coffee grinder. The fan
  still turns, and it will cool your laptop, but wreck your nerves; at least
  it did that to me.

  It works well. The only con is that the laptop often slips off the stand due to the angle. If you don’t tilt the stand up, it doesn’t air out properly, if you do, it slides off.

  I didn’t buy it with my own money, though I think it’s still a waste when there are probably better fans out there. I got this as a birthday present, and it was my first fan for my laptop. I was glad, since I have a problem with my laptop overheating and then shutting down on me. This fan worked at first, and still does, but now, it makes a loud rattling noise when in use. The sound is nerve grating and my friends give me weird looks when it starts as if my laptop is about to explode, though it’s the fan. I’ve only had this for 2 months, and this problem has been ongoing after the first 3-4 weeks. I won’t be buying any more Belkin products any time soon.

  This thing is pretty cool — definitely gets the laptop up off of whatever surface you’re using (table, desk, lap, etc.) and definitely provides a constant rush of air to whisk away heat generated by your computer’s processor. The cooling mechanism is audible but not intrusive, and you can most assuredly feel the breeze as warm air is pushed out to the sides of the device. The added “tilt” is also a nice feature, because as for me, it puts the laptop into a slightly-improved position in terms of typing.

  Recommended without hesitation!

  I love this bag!!! I debated over bags and checked out many before deciding on this one. The 17 inch bag fits my 15.6 inch Toshiba just right with room for extras. Great padding to protect and lots of extra pockets. The colors are classy, in brown and light blue. The strap hits me just right at 5′3″ (I know other reviews said it was too long.)

  I love everything about this bag. The color combination is great, there are a lot of compartments, and even comes with a zippered pouch for your cords. The only thing that is a minor flaw is that the strap is not adjustable, it sits kind of long from the shoulder but it’s still comfortable enough to get around. It’s worth the extra bucks compared to the typical laptop bags you find in the stores for the style, durability and protection. Fits a 17″ Mac Book pro perfectly with more room for other stuff.

  I own a 17 inch Gateway Gaming laptop. The laptop and battery charger fit perfectly in. It has 2 pen holders and 5 pockets inside. Outside it has a slim pocket on the top for a small mp3 player with a headphone hole, and a larger compartment covering the rest of the front. Other side of the outside (the part that rests against you when you’re carrying it) there is a velcroe pocket that is large enough to hold something like a newspaper or magazine. I like to read my Game Informer so I carry that around in there. Quality of the fabric is thick and strong no need to worry about that heavy laptop falling through. My laptop is about 10 lbs with the charger, and that wide strap is comfortable. All in all this product is excellent if you are looking for a low cost high quality solution for carrying that honkin huge laptop you have.

  This is an excellent laptop messenger bag. The wide strap provides a comfortable carrying experience. It’s a messenger bag, so don’t expect a ton of storage but there’s enough for a few accessories and some traveling paperwork. The small cable case is a nice addition to help keep everything organized.

  I was looking for something to fit my widescreen 16″ laptop and couldn’t find anything that specifically said it would work. This bag is perfect for our laptop but I can see where a 17″ would fit but may be a little snug.

  One small gripe I have with this bag is the zippers. One already has some stiffness moving back and forth so durability there may be a concern. Only time will tell but for now it’s great.

  Case is fantastic! It holds so much more than I could imagine and protects my laptop just like I wanted it to.
