I couldn't be more pleased with my new backpack. I am in my 40's and returning to school for a Master's. I didn't want to get the typical "college student" backpack. As corny as it may sound, I wanted a bag that reflected my age-not old, not young, just something that reflected class and a sense of fashion--but I didn't want it to stand out either. I wish I had gotten the black one as well because I now use the bag everyday as opposed to only class days. I can fit my laptop and iPad in it if I wanted to. I am able to fit all of my books, a file folder and notebook--as well as my wallet. But I don't really need to carry my wallett. The two side pockets are roomy and the front large-zippered pocket is large enough to simply use as a wallet if I want, plus carry my cell phone.
I am very pleased with the product and the price I paid for it!
