Review on πŸ’œ Case Logic MLM-111 Laptop/Chromebook and iPad Messenger Case - 11-Inch (Gotham Purple) by Nick Shirodkar

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Beautiful color, comfortable design, space for everything I need - even an iPad Pro 12.9!

I've been putting off ordering this bag for months due to reviews and complaints that it's "tiny". After comparing the sizes I finally decided to take a chance and ordered it. I really don't understand complaints about size or design. However, I'm only giving it four stars because there's one thing I don't like, although it might not be a problem for others. The valve has a filler that is crumpled and hard rather than soft. I don't like its feel or its sound. But I'll get used to it. I shrug. That's not on the way. I really like the size and the overall design. I don't have a laptop or Chromebook, but I use it to charge three tablets (Galaxy Tab S 10.5-inch; iPad 9.7-inch; Fire HD8) and a Paperwhite e-reader, each in a flip case, and a Bluetooth - to transport the keyboard. B. external battery, charger, two cables, Bluetooth headphones and wired headphones. That makes it a bit heavy, but it gives an example of what it can hold. The largest of my tablets fits in the thickest case in both the tablet compartment and the outer back pocket. With all of this in my bag, I have to be careful when inserting the magnetic clasps, but they hold. The handle, as other reviews have mentioned, is on the back so it doesn't hold it fully upright, but I don't see a problem with the angle at which it's held - I carry it on my shoulder strap anyway. In everyday life I only carry one or two tablets as well as e-readers and other accessories and I am quite satisfied with how it works. The only thing I think could be improved about the design, as other people have mentioned, is the front flap pocket. It's so small that my phone (Galaxy S7 Edge) doesn't fit in it. Instead, I carry a thin wallet in it, but of course I would also like to be able to use it for my cell phone. The material used is quite hard, I would prefer it to be softer. However, the color (purple) is beautiful and slightly iridescent. You can see in the photos how the color of the corner changes a bit. The handles and shoulder strap are stitched very securely, and the shoulder strap is adjustable, including an adjustable pad. As with all Case Logic products I own, the workmanship is first class. Very happy with this purchase. EDIT: I bought an iPad Pro 12.9 and put a fintie folio case on it. It fits in this bag! I can carry another tablet, a few small accessories, a wallet and a phone. Very happy.
