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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Looks great, but I didn't find it very practical.

Looks great if you're just carrying a laptop and maybe a slim wallet or notepad. Inside the main compartment is a mesh holder, oddly split in two, ostensibly for cords. Attempting to add a charger for my laptop (which is needed all the time as my laptop battery only lasts about 3 hours) results in an unsightly asymmetrical bulge in the case, ruining the case's thin profile and making it somewhat awkward to carry . When I try to put the charger in the outside pocket, the pocket bulges out. It wouldn't be a big problem if the bag closed completely. However, there are only two Velcro squares for the full length of the flap. Because of this, the bag does not close easily or fully unless the bag is completely flat, and even then the velcro seems weak. My belongings don't feel secure in this outside pocket when I commute to work. There are no side pockets and the pocket is only long and wide enough for my laptop, preventing me from carrying the charger parallel to my laptop (directly above or to the side), which could have been avoided. protrusion problem. As such, my use of this bag has been extremely limited. I'm thinking of using this for storage and getting a laptop bag instead.

Pros
  • Comfortable
Cons
  • Mostly good, but...
