Awesome Choice

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this backpack a month ago and it was a perfect fit. Very spacious, my laptop was secured. I also love the extra storage space. I would recommend the Better than Basic Backpack.

Yes I can confirm Zippers are not good!

Bag looks nice and I wanted it to work but I used only 2 times. Both times the main compartment zipper track kept opening on its own. I DID NOT over fill it, it just somehow keeps opening. This is over concern because someone can just stick their hand in your bag at the airport or anywhere and grab what you have it there. Samsonite, please fix these zipper issues!

Great Backpack!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very nice quality backpack. It looks very sleak and I use it to fit my work laptops.

Ripped

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this a month ago and it ripped out of no where. Very disappointed as it is a nice bag overall. I thought it would be more durable.
