    bad quality design

    • Written by from Lake Macquarie

    Bought this backpack to have neat storage for my MBA and iPad, with a textbook and exercise book. After the first week the strap started to fray. after spending this much on a backpack you would expect better than this!

    Compact but loose straps

    • Written by from Taringa

    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.

    Bigger than it seems

    • Written by from Brisbane

    This backpack is actually way too big for me and I'm going to take it back. And I was worried it would be too small! It's really hard to gauge the size from the pictures but it looks really odd on me like way too bulky. I love the design and colours and it is all really good quality but the size could be halved. I'm using it for uni and you could easily fit laptop, binders, iphone, lunch, wallet, probably 2 thick text books, probably runners as well. Hope that helps :)

    Exactly what I wanted

    • Written by from Bundoora

    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!!!

    Bigger Than Expected

    • Written by from Greymouth

    I have just recently received this bag and to be honest I was quite surprised with how large it was, this is because all I was reading was reviews about how it was too small.

    I am very happy with this purchase and very much recommend it to others. Just remember it is a reasonable size which can easily fit my 13" macbook pro and plenty of space for a folder and books.

    :)

    Great for school (Simplified)

    • Written by from Burnaby

    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.

    Really not very sturdy

    • Written by from New York

    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.

    Not well built

    • Written by from Montreal

    I bought this bag about a month ago and now I'm realy disapointed with the way it is wearing out.

    The seam breaking off and the padding is out of shape and moving inside the shoulderstraps. This makes the bag uncomfortable.

    I had more expectation for this bag, usualy Incase product are well made but we cannot say the same about this one.

    Comfortable

    • Written by from NEW ALBANY

    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!

    Okay backpack

    • Written by from Edmonton

    Pros: fuzzy part for laptop, place for keys on the side, big enough to fit textbooks and laptop

    Cons: not enough compartments
    Quality seems questionable. The handle ripped already within a few months. I bought my boyfriend the same one in black, teared the stitching on his first use.

    Stylish light and durable

    • Written by from San Antonio

    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.

    Incase Compact Backpack

    • Written by from Gorey

    I bought this bag with my white mac book 13 inch and it fits perfectly into it. Its got a great place for the laptop where it keeps it nice and secure. As for space it has loads. Im always carrying note pads multiple A4 pads, pencils pens etc. It also has multiple pockets for wallets and Ipods. I even managed to fit a ring folder in it once with all my stuff. I visited london a few weeks back and i brought this bag to carry everything i needed while i was out exploring. If your looking for a bag that is comfortable to carry, will carry your mac and college/work accessories then this is the one. 5star

    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.

    Top Product

    • Written by from Blackwood

    I wanted to order this from the site, but I needed it sooner than it could be delivered, to I visited the Cardiff Store and they had one left. Its got just the right amount of compartments, and its got lots of padding! The soft iphone pocket is awesome too! So soft! It feels very well made, very very pleased. I've got my 13inch pro in there, whilst still in the skin, so plenty of room for 15".

    Slim design and good layout.

    • Written by from Peacehaven

    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.

    Good for your apple products but not a good daypack

    • Written by from Vancouver

    Pros: Good padding even the bottom of the backpack, can hold all your apple products.

    Cons: difficult to manage your other stuff, not convenient to take out anything, not enough smaller pockets, no zipped pocket inside the backpack, uncomfortable to wear, no water bottle outside pocket, not good enough water resistant material.
