Guide Review - simply-BAGS Laptop Messenger Bag

This messenger bag can easily fit a 15.4” or smaller laptop and your little extras that you need to work with.

I found it easy to get my laptop in and out of the messenger bag. There is nothing worse than fighting with a laptop bag, zippers or the laptop itself to get it in or out of the bag.

The handgrips are very comfortable and even with the bag loaded heavily the grips didn’t pull in my hand. The shoulder strap on the other hand does need a padded section. When the messenger bag is well loaded the shoulder strap does dig in. and is uncomfortable.

Other feature that this messenger bag does not have are the little riser feet on the bottom exterior of the bag. These are great because even if you set your laptop bag down on a wet or dirty surface, the feet keep the bottom of the bag raised so that the bag itself doesn’t get wet or dirty.

There is plenty of space for extra items on the outside and inside of the bag. On the front is a zippered pocket, which has two slit pockets and a larger space for files. On each end of the messenger laptop bag there are two slot pockets for an umbrella or other such item.

The inside area is divided into two sections, one is padded and closes with a hook and loop fastener for your laptop. The other side is for larger items such as files or books.

This laptop bag can be monogrammed with your initials for a bit of personalization and added style. The color options available are well suited to a business casual style.

With the addition of shoulder strap padding and feet added to the bottom of this messenger laptop bag from simply-BAGS will certainly provide mobile professionals with a useful laptop messenger bag.
