Review on Design Anti Theft Laptop Backpack Briefcase Backpacks by Steven Kile

Revainrating 2 out of 5

What I like: Secure strap with lock fits great.

This backpack is extremely innovative but I ended up sending it back because it fit and had pocket organization issues. What I like: A secure strap with a lock that's great for attaching to a table or whatever and locking it shut, the bag looks sharp in both backpack and briefcase modes, external charging capability and a semi-rigid frame, pockets swing on the shoulder straps for subway tickets. What I hated: The backpack straps are too tight, my shoulders were pulled back when tightened enough for the bag to ride properly on my back, the bag didn't feel well balanced in backpack mode after being fully loaded, one Organizing bag for mice and other things need either a tighter elastic band or a locking tab because things will fall out if you carry the bag as a briefcase or put the bag face down, the pens/pencil holders are too far from the edge of the bag. Required Improvements: Need an easily accessible battery. A very convenient battery holder for use with an external charging cable as the thin battery falls out of existing pockets and pockets can clog making it difficult to access and remove the battery when going through airport security (should a bag be carrying be a quick-release fastener that is attached with Velcro). at the top of the backpack frame), there needs to be room for the water bottle and put in a zippered pocket for things like cords and adapters, there needs to be a hidden RFID blocking pocket for a passport/slim wallet and finally a hidden magnet pocket on the outside for a water bottle or an umbrella because the last thing you need is a water bottle leak in your computer bag. All in all it looks like it would be fine for a commuter bag, but for international travel it doesn't suit me very well. This was exacerbated by the fit of the straps on the bag. I ended up returning it and buying another backpack from them, the Bobby Compact Anti-Theft. I will check this shortly.

Pros
