Reviews for Incase Compact Backpack

I like the compact design of the bag, which still have good space inside.

But after a couple of months usage, i found the straps of the bag never stay in place. The material is just too smooth, and i need to adjust them everyday. It has been so annoying and i am considering going through the warranty process to get it fix, although i bought it through work a bit complicated.

This back pack is fantastic. Dispite being described as compact, I can fit inside it my MacBook Pro in a sleeve, a full 50 mm and a full 25 mm lever arch binders, an external and portable HD, my student diary, iPod, a smallish text book, and a 1ltr drink bottle. I still have room for some snacks and find it all easy to carry. The zips all work fine, my Mac is protected and the colours look great. A fantastic buy for Uni students!!!

I dont use many textbooks and I only use my MacBook Pro 13" to take notes and I'll have the odd notebook or assignment. It fits everything for my needs. I can even fit my lunch in there :) But if I put my MacBook Pro 13", I can still put a 1" binder in the other space WITH my charger :D I've used this for almost an year now. It's water repellent for sure because living in the Vancouver weather...we KNOW how it rains here and this have held up when I didn't have an umbrella because rain is unexpected here haha.

I bought this 10 months ago because I liked the look and it seemed durable -- but in the latter respect I've been very disappointed. Two of the zipper pulls have broken already. More seriously, the seam connecting one of the straps to the top of the bag steadily began to deteriorate. Now it's in danger of ripping off, so I've been using my decade-old Eddie Bauer backpack -- not as cool-looking, but seems to hold up much better through my daily commute.

I love this bag! I don't carry a lot of stuff but, just my macbook laptop, external hard drive, wacom tablet, adapter cords, and a notebook. I don't really like to put a lot of stuff. If I put too much stuff in it, the bag would not compatible to carry too heavy items. That is what their title are compact and lightweight... I love it!

I bought this bag the day it was available and it has exceeded all expectations. For anyone complaining about "not enough room" maybe you should reread the title of the product. As a college student, I personally have found that all my school work, books and MacBook fit nicely in this bag. Even when I fill it up, the padding distributes the weight so well that it feels much lighter then it actually is. I had used messenger bags for 7 years and was reluctant to return to a backpack, but this bag has been an amazing solution to protecting my Mac and I highly recommend it.

Happy with it. Ordered one more for a friend. Looks bigger than on photos.

Pros:
Large enough to fit up to two 15" MBPs in laptop compartment + some books + lots of space left.
Lots of small pockets.
Very useful key pocket on left side.
Nice protective pocket for iPod or digital camera on top.
Straight but stylish design.

Cons:
No separate compartment for power supply.

Best bag/case I bought for my Mac & iPad. I would recommend purchasing this.

If you're looking for a bag to transport your MBP 15" around then I really think this is it.

I was originally looking at the more fashionable messenger style satchels but when you consider you have a £1500+ laptop, and then the bulk of a charger and whatever else you're carrying, I wanted a bit more security.

I bought this for the grey/cyan combo alone but in use it's actually very good, it's very compact which is the only issue if you want to carry a lot of other equipment (I carry a DSLR and there's only enough real estate at the bottom for that and the MBP charger. You couldn't for example carry a camcorder ASWELL without having them put pressure on each other, not so much a problem unless you're running with the bag imo.

Nicely sized pockets for a wireless keyboard and magic mouse too. Also a few other small pockets for pens, memory cards and cables etc.

Overall it fits the bill, you certainly won't have any worries about dropping anything when it's all done up and that's the main thing.
