    • i used to make tech bags like this.. and i will say, this is a gimmick bag.. dont buy it.e-pill
    • the use of that big plastic buckle and the over the counter zipper pulls.. mehe-pill
    • made with generic 420d nylon or some ballistic nylon with molded eva construction..e-pill
    • the top handle can use some beffing up.. its an ok bag for a girl..or a skinny hipster boy..e-pill
    • Errr.already bought it E. I like it but there's also a very good possibility that I'm unfashionable. lol.fyoucher1
    • oh i have this bag in black and all grey.. but i needed it for design reasons..e-pill
    • my ex boss uses this case.. while wearing a business suit.. he was funny looking!!e-pill
    • I have the prior version of that bag. It was shorter and had better proportions before. I've used it for 5 years and it's been great.Josev
    • great. I prefer it to my briefcases and messenger bags.Josev
    • do you prefer it because of the hands-free usage??e-pill
    • as the briefcase or messenger needs to be hand carried.. is that why?e-pill
    • yes, I prefer that it's hands free, I like the size -- smaller than a backpack, and I feel like it's more secure on me with the way it wraps around my body.Josev
    • way it wraps around my body. Maybe that's not true given that the latch is plastic.Josev
    • being plastic doesnt mean cheap, it just means less designed..e-pill
    • a logo can be placed on anything.. such as they have done..e-pill
    • its the stitching and the construction you should be concerned with..e-pill
    • incase makes a pretty solid bag.. slightly smaller than most.. serves function more.e-pill
    • I don't think it's cheap, but I do wonder if someone tried to grab my bag if the latch would hold. Someone tried to grab my messenger bag 6 years ago (with my powerbook) so I like how the sling pack is wrapped around my torso.Josev
    • messenger bag 6 years ago (with my powerbook) so I like how the sling pak is wrapped around my torso.Josev
    • the plastic will hold, again its the stitches that hold that piece to the pack..e-pill
    • you can if you are worried get that area snapped with a rivet at your local shoe repair shope-pill
    • for re-enforcing and protection in the stress area of the buckle.e-pill
    • otherwise it is an over sized wide plastic buckle held byt wide p/p webbing.. its solid.e-pill
    • but a blade can cut thru it easy peasy..e-pill
