this bag look great and now that i have use it for several day , I love it . I have be look for a ` general use ' bag forever . I need a bag that could act as a carry all and as a book bag , and laptop bag . its great . someone comment i think , on the weight distribution . it all depend on hwo you load the bag . I be carry at least 25 lb . in book today all day and it be fine . also all the neat little pocket be wonderfull . room for everything you need . only one little complaint , my Sprint PCS gen 1 phone be a little too tall for the cell pouch , but otherwise , great !
