Handle Detracts from Otherwise Great Item
I have loved this bag for the nearly two years I have owned it. I am a college professor, who has a home office and must transport course notebooks and textbooks from work to class and back. The long handle provides excellent leverage and certainly saves the back. Unfortunately, the pin mechanism that allows the handle to telescope is not of the same quality seen in the superior workmanship and materials of the rest of the bag. One pin (of the two required) has permanently retracted into the handle making it impossible to lift the handle above 6 inches! Therefore, I've got a great bag, but one that is nearly impossible to roll. Very unfortunate!

Great 17" Laptop roller bag!
This bag is the best I've owned out of 4 different 17" Laptop bags. I used this one myself for over a year and had no problems with it. I passed it on to one of my employees and ordered a brand new one. Nice to be the boss sometimes.

Great stylish and bold rolling laptop briefcase.
It is such a neat little rolling laptop bag. It has so many pockets and the red inside really makes this bag stand out compare to the other rolling laptop briefcase out there. Every pocket has a use for whatever extra gadgets that I have that I can stuff without forgetting that I'm missing some computer component.
Pros: Love the red interior, items stands out and easy to find everything, since everything I buy is usually black. Nice large wheels to pull through rocks, sand, dirt, and other terrains. Pockets on the side is where I store cd players and extra cord, such as a lock. Bag seems quite durable and withstands some rough handling. I'm a young guy and this bag just seems to be very sleek and stylish. Everyone has stated that it's one the nicest design bags out there, which doesn't look so bulky or balloon like many other rolling laptops.
Cons: Has a section for the laptop to be place, but no laptop holder??? Couldn't the manufacturer crank out a few more bucks and wrap fabric over some foam and attach to the inside so there is a place for a laptop? Zipper can be a little stiff, but use wax to help the zipper slide smoothly. There seems to be dead space underneath the file section, which I have no idea what to store. It's about 4 inches height and 5 inch width of dead space where the wheel compartment is stationed. Not sure, but thought maybe the manufactures could of made some pocket compartments there to fill some space? Again, the design is great, the interior design could use some modding.
Unknown: many reviews has said that the handle is the first to go on this bag. I have not had any problems with this bag since having it for almost two months. It seems to be holding steady, but only time will tell.
Overall: Great bag for the price I paid. Cost about $100 which I think is a great fair price. If you spend the retail price, which is $144, wait for it on sale. It is a great looking and stylish bag.

I love this bag!!!
This bag holds everything!!!! I love it. I'm an educator and trainer of teachers so I often have to carry my laptop and projector with me. This bag holds everything I need. I've had my bag for over a year now and have yet to have any problems with the handle (knock on wood) like some of the other reviews have said.
