Hard to find a bag that's not too big that fits an iPad and the keyboard. This one fit the bill with lots of extra room for other stuff. Only disappointment is that the strap on top broke after only three weeks. And, I didn't have anything heavy in the bag. I'm keeping it because otherwise it appears to be a good bag.
The only complaint I have about this bag is the durability of the water bottle holder. I carry a Sig water bottle with me every day, and within a week the stitching had come loose. I know this is really meant for a plastic bottle, not a aluminum 24oz monster, but I would have hoped it would have held up a little better. For the price you can't go wrong, even with the additional money I spent having my local dry cleaner beef up the stitching on the water bottle pouch. If you are looking for something to carry your iPad or Macbook air around, you cannot go wrong with this purchase.
I was looking for something that would just hold the laptop and cords (a sleeve was too small), yet also fit into a carry on and this is perfect to use either way. It even holds my cordless trackball without being bulky. The color is nice and bright. There are extra pockets where you could also stick a pad and the front pouch will hold other small supplies.

This is one great bag! Inexpensive, not cheap. I really like the three modes of carrying my iPad with this bag, as a tote (with nice handles), a simple skin, or as a shoulder bag with a very nice adjustable shoulder strap. The removable clips on the shoulder strap are rugged metal snaps as durable as the ones on my Tumi and Briggs and Riley bags. The small tab at the bottom of the bag is a nice touch, making it easy to pull the iPad out of the bag without having to get a full-hand grip on the iPad. I was worried the neoprene material would rip or tear easily, but that's not the case. It's thin but strong, slightly stretchable but still firm, soft to the feel but tough in protecting my iPad. I'll say it again, at the price this is one great bag.

Very happy with this bag. Ample size for my laptop/charger while also having room for my lunch everyday. It's an easy to carry, sleek bag, that is quite durable.

Very satisfied with this bag! I bought 2 bags of different sizes from Best Buy, tried them both out, and just felt there was no style, and not enough pockets. I bought this based on the smaller size, and the exterior looks, and I knew with Zappos I could return it if I didn't love it. After receiving and trying it on, I found the bag to be very comfortable, the shoulder pad cushioned and also with a soft foam rubber underneath so it won't slip off my shoulder. Even though this is designed for a 13" laptop, I fit my 14" HP laptop in this bag perfectly. it slips right in. There are so many pockets! There is a nice hidden mesh pocket to fit a water bottle, and it tucks away when not in use. There is even a pocket if you don't want open the flap, you can access everything on the inside of the bag. Note that my 14" laptop will not fit out of that top pocket, but that's okay because it is not designed for this bag. I fit everything for work in this bag except for my lunch. Build design and quality seem excellent. I am very happy with this bag, and of course Zappos service is great.
Great bag. The one thing I wish the bag had is a separate slot for my laptop power cord. All in all, very solid, lightweight and useful bag.
Nicely constructed, lots of compartments, the only disappointment is the color. It is not "red"; it is burgundy. So, if you are looking for a true red color, this would not be the case for you.
This iPad Messenger Bag is awesome! The perfect bag for your iPad and all your accessories. Has the perfect size area for the iPad to fit in and lots of compartments for cords, stylus and all your iPad accessories. Love it and highly recommend it!

I really have nothing but positive comments about this great product. Love the shoulder strap, which is padded and thick, so it does not slip off shoulder, holds a crazy amount of stuff in a gazillion pockets - I actually carry a MacBook Pro 15", a crummy school laptop and an iPad in here, with all the cords too. Very sturdy, great quality. Watch the video, it does a great job of showing off the bags high points, but I don't remember it showing the sweet side pocket for what appears to be a water bottle holder. Had this weeks and I'm still finding new stuff! Best bag out there for anyone who carries both the iPad and a laptop.

Great bag for my Netbook (Toshiba NB505) have had it for over 6 months and not only does it look good, it performs well. The best feature is the zipper on top; it's easy to pop out my computer at security or in a cafe. The shoulder strap has a removable padding that makes it very comfortable to sling over a shoulder. It's well designed and thought out, there's room for USB drives, pens and other compartments. The mesh holder for the power supply with stretch top is very convenient. It has side pockets for easy access of papers or e-tickets. The only improvements would be a better carrying handle, it is just nylon webbing and could be thicker, and more comfortable with padding. The shoulder strap rings tend to slide to the side, but I have had that problem with most bags.
This bag fits my MacBook Pro, 15", perfectly. It is exactly the right size. I can fit the computer, some papers and maybe a notebook in the bag. The strap and its connections to the bag are sturdy, easily adjusted, and perfect. I love the simplicity and thin design and it makes the computer feel light and smaller than it is.

I wanted to get a bag to carry my iPad 2 to work. I chose this Skooba Design bag. In 6 months the front zipper broke and now the top zipper. I found the quality of the bag to be poor.

Excellent design, lots of pockets, fits my Macbook Air 11" perfectly. Lightweight. Well thought out design. Room for my small nex5 camera and 18-200 lens and a few small accessories as well.
Nice bag and a good size. I even occasionally squeeze a 14" laptop in here when I don't want to use my bulky laptop bag. Haven't had it long enough to comment on long term durability but it seems pretty well made.
I bought this for my husband. He loved it. The style is great and there are many convenient pockets.

Great bag. Would suggest something bigger if you would like to carry more than basic essentials.
This is perfect! I can tuck this into my larger rolling case for laptop/projector/videocam for travel, but can also use it around town. I love that it converts from compact, as seen in photo, to handles that are easy to carry in town. The color is not quite as vivid as in picture. I originally ordered the 1617 in tangerine thinking my 15¼" MacBook Pro would not fit in this size. I was wrong the 1415 size is perfect. Also, the tangerine is quite subdued in color compared to the photo. I like the lime better. If I have to take it out at the airport, the bright color is easy to spot amid the sea of black stuff.
Lightweight, comfortable size, lots of storage space and sensible pockets. A great buy! (And this from a guy who never carries stuff.)
