Case Logic Sporty Backpack 14"

Short version: Fantastic Backpack at a fantastic price! Longer version: Prior to buying the Case Logic backpack, I had been looking for a LONG time for a backpack that combined a trio of key requirements: (1) Looked the part in a corporate environment (2) Had a good combination of zipped and inner pockets (3) Didn't cost the earth! If you pay enough, you can satisfy the above criteria with ease, but not everyone wants to be spending way north of £100 (or in some cases nearer double that) - I was beginning to wonder if there was a manufacturer that could put something together at a reasonable cost, and that's just when I stumbled across the Case Logic backpack! Let's look first at the trio of requirements: (1) Looks the part in a corporate environment - yes, does in spades - it's a matte black colour with some patterning on it, with red highlighting in some areas (2) Has a good combination of zipped and inner pockets - absolutely - there are three outer zipped pockets, and then two compartments - the main one has a separator for Laptop, and reasonable stowage for other items (3) Doesn't cost the earth - I think sub-£30 for this backpack is extremely reasonable given the quality of manufacture A few more positives also: the straps, which on some previous bags I've had appear to be made of Teflon, are very good on this bag. Also, the bag isn't too big, and is easily stowed in transit. And a few negatives (and it really is a few things only): there's no accounting for a water bottle of any kind. The case logic logo on the right strap seems out of place with the rest of the bag But overall - great bag at a very good price!

I have been searching for a laptop backpack that wouldn't make me look like I was a Ninja Turtle carrying my house on my back. I have upper back problems exacerbated by bad posture (desk work) and lugging laptops around for years in shoulder bags or in wheely cases. I almost succumbed to an expensive laptop backpack by a well known luggage brand one when I found this one on Amazon. At such a reasonable price, and with good reviews, I took a punt on it. It arrived this morning and I'm really impressed. It is really slim line in that it doesn't bulge out of your back making you look like a hunchback, but is also really robust and well made. With just my laptop and A4 notebook folder in it remains almost flat on my back. My laptop is around 30cmx20cm and it fits in with loads of room to spare. But it's chockablock with lots of other little discreet zippered pockets and I've stuffed it full of papers, phone, umbrella, water bottle, book, cables, laptop earphones etc and it barely bulges. It also looks quite nice - the quilted front is a nice touch. Very impressed so far! Edited to add - almost 2 years later it is still going strong and still looks like new even though it has travelled the world with me and been unceremoniously slung in all manner of overhead plane lockers, luggage racks and under seats on trains. I still haven't found another backpack to beat it.

I have had the same school bag for 2 years now and decided that I should buy a new one. After some research I came across this backpack and with its black and red colour scheme (which was the colours of my old bag) I really liked it. The bag is big and fits all my school work easily and feels nicely supported. It has many pockets, I don't know what to do with the two side pockets yet so I have to figure that out. Overall, a really nice and strong bag. Not essential for school but I like it for school. I would give it 4.5 stars but I can't so I am giving it 4. The reason being is that the straps are very weird and not to my liking with the being connected at the top. It is also slightly too big for me but I will sort that out soon I guess. Great quality bag, really recommended!

2 months on and the bag is still immaculate! It can fit many books even with a MacBook Pro 15" in it. There is a a separate pocket for laptops but it' still in the main zip compartment. Essentially a sponge separates the laptop slot and other objects you have in the bag. There are two small side pockets for fitting small things in e.g. keys, a snack etc, but not a bottle. It has a small pocket at the top to put maybe something you want quick access to again with a relatively small size maybe about a pocket notebook size item. Another small-medium sized pocket is situated in the second largest compartment. The second large compartment turns in at the bottom ind of like a cave so you fit things under there making room for a e.g. a folder to slot right to the bottom. There is a strap fastener so you don't have long straps flapping around while you have it on. It's really comfortable on your back and shoulder. Amazing product for the price it is! I usually fit about 4-5 books, a plastic folder (the one with the button on the front), my laptop, headphones, pencil case, water bottle, snacks, and lunchbox/sandwich/extra food and the bag still closes snuggly

I wanted a new bag as I travel a lot for work. Sometime I am away overnight and sometimes for 2 - 4 days and I had hoped that this would be suitable for the overnight trips. It can just fit a change of clothes plus a 13" notebook but once you add a charger or two, a tablet and some travel documents it starts to struggle. The next size up would have probably been a better fit for me. In terms of build and design however it is well made, protects my laptop well and looks good. But as I don't want to change bags all the time, this is getting less and less use. So, as a day bag I rate it highly but as an overnight bag it is less spacious than I need.

Best bag I have ever used. 6 Zips in all. - 2 Zips at the side, mainly for Glasses or a protected phone - 3 at the top, one I use to store my wallet etc - 1 large zipped pocket inside which I use for 3DS etc The tab at the front with the Case Logic logo on is great for wrapping a scarf or light coat aroundthe outside The red straps where you adjust the shoulder straps have a handy velcro tab on them so you can fold them up neatly. Has 1 big pocket separated by a padded wall for extra protection 1 medium sized pocket which is perfect for a tablet, it includes a few more open pockets. 3 for pens, 2 for phone, cards etc. Very, very light, I was going for the grey one but decided for the black and wasn't disappointed. Really is a nice looking bag too. Worth the price at £29.

I love this bag. The amazon reviews were incredible and I think I read every single one and I understand why it's so popular. I specifically wanted a bag that was just the right size...if it's bigger in the slightest, I'll fill it! This accommodated the Lenovo laptop (work issued) and I have a 'case' with mouse, cables, glasses etc that also went into the main section. The top zipped area held my glasses for reading on the tube, the side pockets for 'stuff'. I personally don't drink that much water between home and work, so I don't agree with other reviewers who say it should have been made to accommodate a bottle of water. The real bonus for me with this bag are the secure pockets within certain sections of the bag which gives peace of mind but without bulking out the bag. The secure fastening of the straps with the red velcro is a very good touch, not only because I rarely change the fit of the bag, but also means people on the tube aren't standing all over them. It is something I've copied for all my camera backpacks. Nice touch. I'm a 5ft female and this is not a bag that makes me look like I'm carrying a cello on my back, it neither looks to feminine or masculine and I've seen others use it. It fits me well and I understand why people come back for repeat purchases, good work backpacks are very hard to find.

Best bag I've ever had. Used EVERY day for over 3 years and still comfortable and looks brand new. Used it as a student for carrying laptops and heavy books, long hiking trips and even converted it into a nappy changing bag. It has taken quite a lot of abuse over the years proving its amazing quality and excellently made. Never owned anything as durable and I expect it will have many more years use out of it. Update - it's now October 2025 - used every day since my purchase and only now showing a small amount of wear and tare after many years of abuse. I used it throughout my bachelor's, masters, work bag, travel bag, holiday backpack and a changing bag for all my children. They don't make bags like this anymore. It's literally held it's shape all these years!!
