Customer Reviews Crumpler The Pinnacle of Horror Commuter Laptop Shoulder Bag

I purchased the Crumpler laptop bag in the brown color for my boyfriend for Christmas. He absolutely loves it! What he loves most is the added security of the zipper flap and the fastener. Great size not too bulky but can still hold a 15" laptop and a few other items.

I am really pleased with this bag. I bought it so it could be a low profile, gender neutral diaper bag - one that my partner and I could continue to use once we no longer need a diaper bag, and it fits the bill perfectly. It does not have all the pockets that one would get with a proper diaper bag, but what it lacks in pockets and that sort of hyper-functionality it makes up for in serious good looks (that blue on the inside really pops!). The fact that it is expandable is another plus: makes it a great bag for big or small adventures.

I initially bought this as a work bag - something sharp I could carry my laptop and assorted day to day things in. It has been so good for that I've ended up using it for practically anything and everything else. The fold top allows for packing a lot more than you'd think (a couple of litre bottles and a spot of shopping for instance) and the external zippered compartments provide really quick access to all the essentials. The back pocket in particular gets used for all sorts of stuff on mine and you can fit an iPad in there if you want. Also, the weather proof zips on this thing really work - I've been outdoors in a deluge with mine more times than I can count and never has anything in the bag gotten wet. More importantly... it looks really awesome on!

This is the best bag I have used in a long time. It works at the grocery store for my light shopping, errand running, going for picnics, everyday use. I am a nanny and also use it as a diaper bag. This bag is super comfortable and is so durable. Love the out and inside pockets. Totally recommend it.

I really wanted to love this bag - the expandable roll-top design is pretty great and aesthetically it's the sort of minimalist functional thing I love. BUT, it did not actually fit the massive 15" work laptop I am required to travel with without quite the struggle, and the floppyiness of the roll-top area would have made quick laptop removal/repacking pretty difficult in an airport security-type setting (which is what I'll be doing very very often). This bag is more floppy than structured - which I actually like in a general bag - but for computer transport it doesn't work so well. If I needed a more all-purpose bag like other reviewers have mentioned, I'd love this bag. But sadly, it didn't fit my specific purpose, so back it goes.

This is a fantastic bag. It is slim, professional looking but also very practical. The contrast color is dramatic and fun, but still discreet enough to go with any outfit. Unfortunately, the zipper broke after nine months of regular use. I rarely stuffed the bag, and was surprised when the zipper split - and kept splitting. That was very disappointing!
