I am very happy with this tablet bag. Delivered to me in perfect condition. Gorgeous dark brown leather with dark blue nylon liner. PERFECT size for me. Not too big, not too small with room to spare with all of my stuff in it!! I love the wide, cloth, adjustable length strap that offers an uncommonly long max length that reaches my lower hip and the shoulder pad slider. These are some the main factors I chose this bag. Easy to carry. Not heavy despite the thick leather. Could have more card slots in the built in wallet but I'm managing with the 4. One zipper pocket is perfect for loose change and paper money. I couldn't be happier and I'm picky!! Seems to be very well made. Not sure about durabiltiy because I just started using it one day ago, but I'm not rough on my things. It should last many years considering how I take excellent care of my belongings. I hate purses! I've tried Baggolini, Fossil and other cross body bags but they never fit my needs. Straps are too short, too narrow, too many tiny compartments and too small, wrong shape, too cutsy, etc etc. I'm not crazy about shoulder bags in general - they get in my way and give me sore shoulders, but this one is comfortable and actually enjoyable to wear. It's great looking and I think the size and shape create a weight balance that helps eliminate a combersome, weighty carry bag. I can't believe I paid under $100 for it! Read more
This is a stunningly good backpack. I just retired the previous one after 5 years of major abuse and worldwide travel and it held up well (stitching in one corner finally failed). The leather is top quality and looks amazing even after 5 years of use. Most importantly this holds A TON. It has a zillion pockets and just a lot of capacity for chargers, toiletries, and your laptop. The little pocket on the front is brilliant for your passport and pens and USB sticks. If I could give it a ten I would. You will not regret this one. Read more
This bag is excellent. The leather is of great quality and it contains many great compartments. It has plenty of storage spaces and looks like it should be way more expensive than it is. Read more
This is my second purchase of the Reaction bag. My first one held up for 7 years and I only had to replace it because my dog had an accident next to the old one and I was unable to clean it thoroughly. The genuine leather is amazing and stands up well to daily use. I highly recommend this bag for any professionals or students looking for a quality bag. Read more
Why did you pick this product vs others?: I really like the bag quality and style but I had to order a replacement because there's a bend and a divot on one side and then on the replacement that I got there's missing stitching on the arm strap. There's some lacking quality control. Read more
Good thing I didn't let the review discourage me. . This is very decent messenger bag for men. Having said that, I have to agree with what everyone's comments online. * This bag is "genuine leather", not "top grain". * The leather is soft, but it has a feeling of ruggedness. * Definitely not top grade leather. * Bag is big to carry tablet, sketch book and few accessories. It is not a men purse type of a bag. Instead of taking these elements as a "con", they are "pro" in my book. * If leather is too soft and oily, it is too girly for daily use. * If you are carrying a messenger size, it is more a casual look n feel anyway. * I had a top grain leather messenger bag from Tuscany leather, but I end up returning it because I cannot find enough occasions to use my bag. (If you looking for top grain leather bag, check out Tuscany leather from amazon btw...) * For a casual look, you don't want to have your bag more stylish than your clothes. * If you are going for a more serious look N feel, you shouldn't wear a big messenger bag to begin with... * As a men's bag, some amount of ruggedness enhance your masculinity. * In my opinion, this bag is good balance of soft leather and rugged texture. * It is from a good brand, Kenneth Cole Reaction, with a decent design for practical use. Macy sells the same bag on sale for $100+ for the same bag. For the price that is selling on Amazon, it is a very good purchase for this price point. Read more
