This bag is awesome! I use it as a work bag. It is elegant enough for business casual days, light as a feather, and holds everything I need. The shoulder strap slipped a bit too much, so I swapped it with a different strap.

Overall it's a good pack. It's a little stiff at first but now it's breaking in nicely. The only thing I wish is that one of the side pockets was open so I could easily get a water bottle in and out. Having one large main compartment is great because you can fit just about anything in it.

This bag is sturdy and cavernous. Just make sure you need all that space and do not mind the loud velcro sound each time you open it. Otherwise, my wife loves it and carries it everywhere including the grocery store.

Not bad, but... This bag was a disappointment to me...the design LOOKS nice, but it's not very functional. There is an inner zip pocket, but it's up really high on the flap over part of the bag so it's not very convenient unless you wear the bag completely folded out. It doesn't have any other organizational features like a cell pocket or pen slots that makes Timbuk2 great, so everything ends up in a big mess at the bottom. It doesn't hang very well either, when you put stuff inside it gets too fat and won't rest comfortably on your hip. Cute to look at but not at all functional... I'm returning it.

The Timbuk2 messenger bag has a comfortable pad on the strap for the shoulder, and feels comfortable during long commutes. The inside pockets help me to organize those items that usually create a big mess at the bottom of a bag without more than 1 section. I can ride my bike with it as its soft material can tighten and wrap nicely onto my back. So, it’s like a shoulder bag and backpack all in one!

Awesome, indestructible bag - fits great when riding a bike. Lots of good sized storage pockets as well. Awesome investment for somebody who moves about a lot! Also, Zappos gave me free overnight shipping which made it even better!

I love this bag! I bought it thinking I would use it as my travel/tote on a trip to Europe. Since it arrived, it's been my daily companion. The size is perfect for carrying personal items, my Sigg water bottle and even an extra dog leash, treats and toys for dog training adventures. The straps are versatile and comfortable, the colorway is jazzy, and the bag always looks great. I highly recommend this size.

I really love this Laptop Case. As another person reported it's great for air travel. When you walk down the aisle your bag doesn't hit the other passengers. I was looking for a bag that would not be so heavy and had a business look. I chose the black so it would have a more professional look. While it's not a "flashy bag" it combines function and design. The main reason I bought it was the vertical position. I'm very pleased with my purchase. Zappos is such an amazing company. Thank you

I replaced a BBP bag that had a broken laptop compartment zipper with a 17" Commuter. The commuter has a layout that is very efficient, it seems to have as much storage as the BBP while being half the width. Build quality is visually about the same. The laptop compartment on the BBP was easier to get the laptop in and out. In one sweeping motion you could throw the laptop in and zip it up in the BBP. The Commuter requires serious concentration because a 17" Macbook barely fits. Let's just call it skin tight vs. baggy. Pros: efficient use of space for larger items. I can even fit my DSLR in it except for the zipper on the laptop compartment, it seems very well built. Lightweight. Cons: barely holds a Macbook pro 17", maybe it will stretch out over time, but you will fiddle with the zipper to get it closed. There is NO CHANCE any other 17" unit will fit in this thing. The laptop compartment zipper is already catching. I fear it will eventually fail under the stress. The carrying strap has ballistic nylon around it, it will rub your shoulder raw with a heavy load. I would prefer a softer gel material like many other bags have. I perceive there to be little protection for the laptop. There is about 1/4" of padding at the corners. I would not be surprised if a drop from waist height would cause damage if it lands on the corner or edge. I have faith that TimBuk2 tested it and that the design is efficient rather than negligent.

I initially purchased this for a work bag, and love it. I can carry my lunch, an umbrella, book (paperback or hardcover), wallet, sunglass case and dress shoes w/room to spare. I even began taking a class and was able to put a notepad and textbook in w/ease. I love that there are compartments for pens, cell phone, building access cards, and comes equipped w/a shoulder strap so I can sling it across my body. I recently used it as a carry-on for a trip to HI; it was able to hold my camera, 3 magazines, water bottle, spare clothes (shorts, t-shirt and flip-flops), and still had room to spare. Overall this is a well-constructed bag that can store a ton. If I had kids, this would double well as a diaper bag.

Timbuk2's Metro bag - a great small messenger bag - Used by my 5th grade son on a field trip to Washington, D.C. He wanted a small bag that would be easy to carry and I wanted to make sure that he wouldn't have trouble with security at the Capitol building. He loved it and had no problems! He packed his with 2 disp. cameras, poncho, sm. notebook, water bottle (don't take to Capitol!), pens/pencils, wallet, book, map, tickets, souvenirs, and sunglasses.

Super Bag - I bought this bag since my day pack I was using for biking to and from work was really too small to fit my change of clothes AND adding a towel and anything else I need for work. This has the same space as a duffel bag but you can easily throw it on your back and bike away.

Perfect bag! This Large Classic Messenger is perfectly sized for a weekends worth of clothes. If you are on the fence about the size of this bag, check out Timbuk2's website for their 'toilet paper roll' sizing chart. I can easily fit a pair of shoes, a couple pairs of paints, a good number of shirts, and my toiletry bag with room to spare. The strap pad adds a nice bit of comfort, especially when carrying a packed bag for 20 NYC blocks. The interior compartment pockets are a godsend for keeping small stuff very accessible... Plenty of room for pens, iPods, and misc other goodies you need at a moment’s notice. There are 2 zippered compartments (one small and one medium size) on interior too. This bag is replacing a similar bag that I've had for the past 15 years. Quality is an understatement.

Exactly what I wanted - I have owned a Timbuk2 classic messenger for two years. This bag incorporates everything I wish I could have changed about that bag. The organization makes it a much better option for taking to work and traveling by plane... easy to access my laptop (MBP 15" fits with room to spare in the padded zip compartment), good-sized pockets for power adapter and external drive, and an open pocket on the back for the stuff I inevitably forget to put in before I latch the still roomy main compartment shut. It's a little bigger than I thought it would be, and I miss the extra stability strap for when I'm wearing it on my bike. If you haven't owned a Timbuk2 bag with the ballistic fabric, know that it holds up extraordinarily well even with heavy use (why would I pay $200 for this unless I knew it would last as long as I would need?). My messenger bag still looks brand new after I clean off the mud with a wet rag.

Don't buy this bag! I had a standard medium Timbuk2 for ten years, and I loved that bag. I decided to buy this one because it had a dedicated laptop pocket. This bag is terrible, especially compared to my previous Timbuk2 bag. It squeaks really loudly whenever I carry it, no matter how much I carry. Even with just my little MacBook in it, it makes a yucky noise. It's really unfortunate, people turn around when they hear me coming. Second, the internal organization is terrible. The large pocket inside is only attached at the top, so things always get lost and stuck behind it. In general, it's a lot of poorly used space in this bag. So unlike my old Timbuk2, which was really well thought-out. Truly disappointing - find another messenger.

Having been on the search for a bag that would hold my laptop - and after much consideration between the laptop messenger and the classic - I went with the laptop for the padded compartment. I wasn't too concerned about the size of the laptop compartment as I had a thinkpad x200 and it fits perfectly...I can't imagine macbooks to fit in this bag because my 12.1 fits so snuggly. Aside from the perfect fitting padded compartment, the bag itself was just a tad too big for my liking. I am 5'0" female - and it looks just a little too big. I used to own the small classic messenger - and I remember that fitting my frame perfectly. I will be purchasing the classic messenger in small because the size of the bag is more important to me than the size of the laptop compartment!

I wanted a Mary Poppins bag, one that would fit EVERYTHING and the kitchen sink in it, but not be enormous. I’m still undecided on this bag, and I bought it in October. I wanted a laptop bag I could carry on my bike that would keep my water bottle, sunglasses, keys, wallet, and cellphone accessible… and not look silly by dwarfing my 4’11" frame... and I needed room for a binder or two, my lunch, and maybe a change of clothes/shoes. AND it needed to look good professionally or casually. I love that my big Nalgene fits in the side pocket, and my sunglass case fits in the other side pocket. And I love that my 13" Macbook is very well protected in the separate compartment, but the little organizer pouch, while understandably sewn into the top for accessibility, tends to block access for whatever is in the bottom of the bag. And if you’re like me and the main contents of the bag *do* get removed daily, but the accessories (pens and what not) don’t, well, it creates a nuisance. The accessories pouch is on the inside of the bag, so the cell phone/tickets/pens/wallet/keys or whatever you stuff in it is not easily accessible. The bag holds almost enough (laptop, accessories, and small items, ONE binder and book), but it gets plenty heavy, so a bigger one carrying more probably isn’t the answer. It’s VERY comfortable on the bike, wearing the strap across the body. The bag does look huge on me, and it’s impossible to carry as a shoulder bag (it just slides right off my shoulder). I kind of think that nature just screwed me on that one. Overall a good bag. The color scheme is great.

Keep yourself Organized - I am a petite young woman, and I use this bag both for school and business. It easily fits the laptop and folders that I have. There are many pockets which you can use to fill index card, pencils, etc. There is also a pocket on the back of the bag which contains smaller pockets on the inside. The bag seemed a little big when I first received it, but after a few days of using it, it didn't seem too big anymore. I was a little disappointed that the bag did not come with a cushion for the strap. Overall, the bag was of great quality.

Great protection for laptop - I have this and an Incase sleeve for my Macbook. However, this one is better because it has thick corduroy padding inside and the heavy duty stitching, and ballistic nylon fabric. It is a lot larger than it looks since the padding means the case has to be larger than the computer unlike the Incase sleeve which is very slim. However, for any type of long term carrying or packing I would use this. Much better protection.
