Better quality than most in-store options
This review is for the graffiti style backpack. This is my son's third Minecraft backpack because his others haven't held up very well. For whatever reason, licensed character options sold in brick and mortar stores tend to use vinyl for liners and bottoms which is not very durable. He's only in 3rd grade so he's not carrying big textbooks or anything especially heavy, but each previous backpack has been pretty beat up before the end of the school year and last year's had a significant tear starting on the bottom vinyl panel which would've caused the whole pack to fail. For this school year, I came to Amazon hoping to find an option that would be more durable and this one looked like it would fit the bill. My son also liked it the best of the Amazon options because the design was "cooler and more mature" (his words) than a lot of the other options. I'm very pleased with the quality and price point. It's a little more expensive than most of the in-store options, but it's better material and should be more durable and I don't mind paying a little extra for better quality and durability. It looks great too - nice vibrant colors just like the product photos show. Bonus points for being different than the usual options - unlike the last two backpacks, he hasn't seen anyone else carrying the same bag this year! Read more
