Review on Brinch Unisex Oxford Laptop Sleeve Messenger Shoulder Bag 15-15.6 Inch - Black by Nico Ramdeen

For many years I carried around my old laptop bag. It broke down because of all the hotels, airports, taxis, etc. I passed through. also a bit smelly. So I decided to try a new bag. I was looking for something modern with a relatively good quality and budget. I have a 14 inch laptop but I bought a 15.6 inch bag. This bag gets a "good" rating from me for the following reasons. I love the material design and the overall shape of the bag, and I love the spaciousness it offers (enough for my laptop, power cord, 1.5" folder, mouse, lots of regular office supplies and my iPad Air). 2) is generally quick and easy to open and appears to be fairly robust. However, the reason this bag didn't get an "excellent" rating from me is because I was saving how much I wanted to spend for the following reasons. I'm not a big fan of velcro on the front pocket. I love the idea of securing my items with more than one point of contact and a zipper seems like a much better solution. Also, the velcro doesn't hold the shape of the bag well, so there are small ripples on the front pocket. Second, the brown-beige color doesn't quite match the photos. In the photos it appears to be a very light beige, almost cream. In fact, it's darker and more drab. It put me off at first, but I've gotten used to it over the past few years. Months. Finally, the strap is a bit finicky. It is often turned upside down, and if you throw it over your shoulder, the strap will twist. Nothing will fix a quick turn of the hand. but a little annoying after the 150th time. The clips seem to be of good quality, so that's a plus. I have attached a few photos for reference. In general. i like the bag It was a good refreshment for me and I still enjoy it today. I would love to see a different version of this bag with a front zip closure and an updated strap. For now and for $30 it works for me.
