Mobile Edge Ultraportable Backpack for 8.9-Inch to 13-Inch Netbook Computers (Black)

BLACK-600D/1200D DIAMOND RIPSTOP MATERIAL NYLON-LIFETIME WARRANTY
Customer Review: Excellent packback with a couple of reservations
I bought this backpack as soon as it was available because I wanted a compact backpack that would hold my netbook, daily necessities, and a few other items. For that, the Mobile Edge has worked nicely; it has a good number of pockets (although I wouldn't mind one or two more), had a padded laptop compartment that was excellent for carrying my Asus EeePC 701 and its powercord, came with a phone carrier and two mesh pockets for water and/or other items, and was comfortable against my back. I carried it all day at a conference and was quite happy with it. Only two problems. One is the styling; it only comes in black, with heavy silver metal ornaments which remind me of motorcycle jackets; I would have preferred something a bit livelier and less heavy (and other colors would be nice). More seriously, the first day I used it, one of the internal pockets tore away from its side seam (I just had a light-weight notebook -- the paper kind -- in it). I sewed it back together, and it seems okay now, but the fact that it tore so easily wasn't encouraging. I'll see how well it holds up over the next few weeks. All-in-all, though, it's a nicely designed backpack for netbook owners.
