SamsoniteClassic Laptop Slim Briefcase, Black, 16 x 2 x 12-Inch

FIRST: Be aware that some of the photographs for this bag are misleading. They depict two main holders. This is for the Samsonite Classic Two, which is thicker and has a secondary main pocket, which allows for cards, pens and whatnot to be stored. There is a separate listing for the item, just type in 'Samsonite Classic' on the search bar and you will find both listings.NOW: This bag is great. Most laptop bags I see from other name brands cut corners, such as plastic clips, zippers, low quality nylon fabric. This case is high in quality in everything except one aspect, which I will get to. The case is slim- more slim than any laptop case I have seen, and for someone on the go who wants to look sharp, this case definitely plays the part. It's firm, not sloppy, will hold a laptop securely, and a few documents as well (but don't push your limits). I use this as my carry on in addition to a small backpack. The case will hold my laptop and power cord + brick with the slightest bulge. (Note, I have a Sony S Series, which is .91 inches thick, so those with large laptops may have issues)Now, I have been to many B&M stores to check out their other laptop bags. Many have the following failures:- Poor quality material. It feels flimsy, cheaply sewn together, and saggy.- Cut Corners. Important parts, such as hinges and clips, zippers, etc, are made of plastic.- Too big/bulky. I'm trying to carry a laptop, not my desktop.- Looks cheap, generic.I will start with the flaw of this bag- the shoulder strap is relatively cheap. I LOVE the hooks, they are metallic and are sturdy. However the strap is thin (understandably as the whole bag is meant to be streamlined) and the shoulder pad is disappointing.However,the rest of the laptop case is marvelous. There are two front zippers, which unfortunately do not have any in-line pockets, however I have not had any difficulties with this, as the bag is strictly for my laptop, chargers and what have you (passports, plane tickets, some cash, thin wallet/phone, etc) There is also a wide back-pocket which comes in handy with more personal documents, as it hangs inwards (you'd be a fool to not notice someone unzipping your laptop carrier though) so it's safe from roaming hands.This laptop case is not for everyone. If you need to store a lot of things, look elsewhere. However if you only have a slim laptop and the charging brick, a travel mouse and other tiny items, this is a great classy looking laptop carrier at a bargain price. You will seriously not find anything that looks better than this at the price point (or even double/triple the value!)EDIT: 3/14/13: I've now had this bag for about four months, give or take. This is what I carry in it on a daily basis:- Sony 15.6 S-Series laptop- Charging brick+Cable- Kobo mini e-reader- Phone + Wallet- Small notebook + Pen- Pack of gum, small pack of tissuesThis is quite a bit of stuff inside the briefcase, however the entire thing stays slim (with a hint of bulging I will admit). I've taken this on about six train rides, and eight airplane flights with no issues. I have gotten a scratch/scuff on one small area of the bag, however it has not grown any worse and appears to be completely superficial, no signs of worsening.I am super happy with this bag now, for it has completely exceeded my expectations and came at an incredible price. I would have gladly paid 2x or even 3x the price to have this bag. If you have a thin laptop or are into style, seriously, buy it!EDIT: 4/5/13I have since updated my rating to 5 stars. Originally I had wanted the Classic 2, however I am finding myself quite happy with this current size.

I was looking for a laptop bag that wasn't too bulky but looked solid and was well made. I also didn't want to pay much because bags can cost around $100 and that is not what I am willing to pay for such a simple product.This Samsonite classic bag fit my needs well and after using the bag for a few weeks, I am very happy with the purchase.Pros:- Slender, lightweight, and very well made. For under $30 I feel I got a bag that is constructed to last for years and this alone makes me feel like I got value for my money.- Zippers are metal and not cheaply made. This is critical because less expensive bags often fail due to zippers simply breaking.- Handle is a leather wrap, not the canvas like fabric that the bag is made out of, so is comfortable to hold for long periods of time.- The main pocket fits my 15.6 inch laptop snuggly.- There is some padding to protect against a careless drop, though I suspect frequent or serious drops from a height greater than 6 feet will result is a cracked laptop. This is fine for me because I wanted a slender bag for ease of carrying on public transit.Cons:- There are 3 additional pockets outside the main pocket that holds your laptop and this is nice, though be advised that beyond placing your AC adapter, and some other small cords and wireless mouse-- you will have no room for other items. Again, this is a fine trade for me because I wanted a slender bag. However, if you need to place bulkier items in your laptop like your lunch, water bottle, or sunglasses, you won't find the room or will find your items all get squished.- While the main pocket that holds your laptop has inside storage areas, I doubt you will be able to use them for much more than storing paper. If you put your cords and cables in your bag it will bulge and while its laying on a table or ground some item is going to be grinding into your laptop. That is not ideal. I place my AC adapter, power charger, ipod and headphones, and a few other items like advil and sunscreen in the front pocket. This puts a slight bulge on one side and save the laptop from being scuffed on a daily basis.Overall I am glad with this purchase and would recommend this bag to anyone who needs a slender, inexpensive, and well made bag to haul around their laptop and a few extras.

I was looking for a high quality laptop bag without all the added bulk of some I have seen. This bag is perfect! The material is high quality ballistic material. There is enough padding built in to protect your laptop. The bag has two zippered pockets on one side and one large one on the other side which are perfect for carrying a file or notepad. This is a nice slim and sleek looking bag for those not wanting to carry the whole office with you. The strap is very high quality and is made from strong nylon webb. I have looked at lots of laptop bags and this one is perfect!! Excellent Samsonite quality! This bag fits by 15" laptop perfectly but very snugly. I'm happy with it and bought one for my husband as well to replace his sloppy looking one.

This is an absolutely fabulous laptop case! Although it is slender, it is both very sturdy and remarkably capacious. I currently have in my bag a LeNovo ThinkPad, four books (three of them 19th century novels!), a pretty solid glasses case and a spiral notebook, as well as some papers I'm grading.. I had the previous version of this case and used it for almost a decade before the zipper gave out (the case itself was still intact.) I cannot recommend it highly enough -- and it is more than adequate to carry a laptop, the cord and charger unit, and a serious day's work. Light, elegant and durable -- and a great price!

Tal cual la foto del producto, excelente aunque lo único malo es que no es muy amplio, pero para la lap, cargador, agenda es perfecto.

写真よりかっこいいだし、使い安くて買って良かった。

This bag was well-made and much better than I'd expect for the price I paid. OK, it doesn't have tons of room, but it holds my 14" Dell Latitude E6440 just fine, and it will even hold my thicker work laptop (alone, not together with my own laptop). Its pockets are convenient, even though they won't hold bulky stuff. But if you're looking for an affordable bag to protect your laptop and hold a few smaller items, this bag's great.
