ESTARER Laptop Bag Shoulder Bag Men's Canvas for Work Plain Grey

I purchased this product toward late January and have used it since. Prior to this I was using a very heavy leather bag which caused a lot of pain to my shoulders. Since I've switched to this I regret not buying it sooner. So lightweight the bag alone weights next to nothing so when I have stuff inside it doesn't feel uncomfortably heavy. For this reason alone I would highly recommend it. The bag has been finished to a lovely standard, it would comfortable fit even a 15 inch laptop without any issues. I greatly appreciate the inclusion of several pockets in the bag, allows for easy access for frequently used items such as my phone and keys as opposed to just my laptop. Not to mention to hidden pockets for things like my keys and wallet. I can also fit in a water bottle and sometimes lunch! It can be easily secured with the fastening. I cannot comment on how it wears in wet conditions as I haven't yet exposed it to rainy weather. The shoulder padding is so convenient as ensures it is not painful when the bag hands from my shoulder. Very good purchase I would definitely recommend it for the price point. Its a bonus that the bag is great looking too on top of everything else.

I have been using the bag for work on a daily basis for some months and is mainly used to carry my 13in laptop and various cables / charger / mouse plus the occasional printed material, reports etc. Also small bottle of water and umbrella in side pockets. I don’t have a permanent desk so in many respects the bag carries my office around. My day includes multiple journeys on public transport in London - train, underground, bus, car (not yet bike - not that brave!) and a lot of walking. So size (not too heavy - or too obstructive) and comfort on the shoulder are really important. I have found the bag has a good number of compartments - about right i would say. I really like the fact that the main compartment has both a zip and a cover with the fastener velcro rather than a buckle or stud - much easier more likely to close i forget the zipper. Also really like the handle - previous bag didn't have one - makes a huge difference in usage. Couple of problems though… the zip on the back pocket has broken - or at least i can’t get it to rethread together so i now use it as an open pocket to slip a newspaper or notepad in etc. so more robust / smoother zips (in fact all zips could be smoother) or even design it as an open pocket? Also I think the shoulder strap pad could be improved - mine slips around on the strap; more padded would also be good too… I really like the colour and material although I agree with other reviewers that leather, rather than very obviously plastic, fittings would make it much more desirable - but did have someone in the office ask me where i got it only the other day and not had that before (about a bag that is)!

I recommend this to anyone. The bag is stylish and while keeping a professional look it doesn't make you look like a 90's investment banker. The material is strong and doesn't stain. I spilled a bottle of oven cleaner over it and when it dried out it did not stain the bag. Although it's not fully water proof because the spillage penetrated though the bag and got my notepads wet. Size is fine for most people, I can barely fit a 15inch laptop and two notepads, but my 13' MacBook fits perfectly with plenty of room for other books etc. The laptop sleeve inside is padded and gives adequate protection, unless you're going to use the bag for make-shift goal post in the local park, you should have a problem. One suggestion I would make is to put a stronger closing mechanism where the bag closes, the current velcro doesn't hold when I use the handle to carry the bag.

It's a good bag that fits plenty in. I use it as a camera bag with a 3-compartment insert. The issue with it is that the front flap is only held down by Velcro, which isn't enough - after getting something out of it you have to stop what you're doing to press the patches together again to stop it flapping around. It also opens when you carry it by the top handle because the velcro isn't strong enough. I'll probably replace it for one with buckles.

After years of carrying around a rigid and formal black zip-up cases for my various laptops, I am delighted with the look and extra storage potential of this capacious messenger bag. Initially, I was somewhat wary of buying it because it is described as a ‘Mens’ bag – but, hey, why should they have the monopoly on this bag :=) ? For me, it’s well-made, stylish, with room to accommodate laptop, charger, mouse, camera and other useful secure areas yet to be utilised. The hand-grip, and the shoulder strap with it's extra soft-cushioned and movable pad make it very comfortable when carrying around. It all leaves me wondering why I have struggled for so many years with my old-style laptop bags…… Well done and thanks, Estarer!

Velcro fastners inadequate to secure flap so had ab proper buckle fitted at extra expense. Then the main zip failed so threw bag away. A lot of money for what is essentially a poor product

I purchased this bag in January 2019 and used it 3 days a week for my commute. Unfortunately the zip broke on the front pocket recently (October 2020) and I was informed by the vendor that because there was a 12 month warranty, I'd have to purchase a replacement bag. Clearly, I don't want to buy a new bag every 2 years so will probably attempt to get the zip fixed if possible. I'd have provided a higher score if the response by the vendor had been more positive...

Really loving this bag, I mean it's a bag however it is well designed, lots of storage and although it's 13 inch it will allow a 15 inch MacBook Pro as it is only 12 inches wide. Not really tried it out in the rain with all the amazing UK weather of late but I am sure it will be fine. It will comfortably fit a laptop, power, a4 notebooks, a lever arch file, and all the usual bits and pieces. Fully loaded it is a bit bulky but still very comfortable to carry.
