Review on πŸŽ’ Waterproof Laptop Backpack by Friendly Swede, Ideal for Laptop Users by Sara Bertrand

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Super cool style. A little hard to get at the back

Oh friendly Swede how I just want to give you 5 stars and rave reviews. As someone who is attracted to everything Swedish (I'm Swedish myself) I was very inclined to love this backpack to pieces. I chose him for his super cool style and unique look. I like it, no doubt! Yes, it's waterproof and appears to be very durable (but of course that's hard to tell after just a week of use). I agree with all of the other reviewers on the usefulness/unusability of zippered pockets and inner pockets. . Small zippered side pockets look cool, but let's face it, they don't get used. The large back pocket is ideal for a cell phone. Because it's so flat and the material isn't flexible, you can't use it as a purse bag. Think of it more like a slot. Inside the backpack are a couple of spacious pockets. The big one won't hold its breath in my Macbook and judging by previous reviews I wasn't expecting that. So basically it's a big bucket. As for rolling it up and buckling it up like a dry bag, it's MUCH different if you've carried a zip-top backpack your whole life. It works great as such (5 stars) and fits the bill (and looks really cool!), but all I'm saying is that it requires a lot of customization on the part of users. In short, all of this really applies to the "It's me, not you” rubric. My only thing :-( Sometimes it's difficult to put it on because the padded part of the shoulder straps doesn't reach to the backpack itself. They are attached to a nylon strap that is attached to the backpack. Meanwhile, which partly explains its cool look, it doesn't work very well, slips over the shoulder and often twists on the way up so use it with a twisted strap and padded part with the opposite side folded down if you're not careful I have to fiddle with it to find out pulling it up and straightening it out again.It's fairly comfortable but it's a pretty decent pain to put on and adjust as needed.So my 3 stars in that category.Oh finally I was worried it might look too big on me I'm 5ft 5" and 108lbs. Luckily I don't think it looks too big so I would say that well it fits both my size and a a medium-sized man.
