I don't carry a laptop or papers. Is this bag useful for stuffing items in, such as a light jacket and random things? Or is it too flat/structured?

You can definitely stuff it. Last time I carried my laptop, a water bottle, a pouch with pencils and markers and a fully inflated official sized soccer ball inside a box. on a separate occasion, i had my helmet, lock, chain, and a sweater in it. i have a size medium.

I don't carry a laptop all the time too and have been using this as my main bag for traveling as I pack one or two days of clothing inside. . I would recommend using a Grid-It organizer with this bag for smaller stuff like chargers etc.

Not unless you can fold it in half ;-)The inside demensions are more like a moderate sized lunch box and good for carying lots of little thing but poor for caring anything bigish. Even something like a hard back library book is beyond its capacity w/o really bulging the sides and risking the zippers. There are other bags better for a laptop.

Really? Are you serious or is this a joke? Why would anyone want to pack a lunch into a bag that is tall (about 12 inches), has a narrow depth (about 4 inches), and is designed to organize, store, and transport items such as pencils, pens, documents, mobile phones, Kindles, etc.? Wouldn't it be more practical to use something like the Igloo Playmate?

I just put a few sheets of computer paper in there and it just fit in so you shouldn't have a problem. Or you could always just switch to a smaller pad of paper like a 5x7. By the way I'm very pleased with the bag overall.

The side protection is not as good as some soft padded cases, but the edge protection is better. It provides no protection from bending. It is not rigid. Putting it in a soft messenger bag would work if you had other flat items in there, but round or blocky items would leave a dent in the sides of the MBA upon impact.

Hi JoCal, I have one and I think the material is strong enough, but even though u said u have considered the dimensions, the bag is flat. It wouldn't fit anything bigger than a Readers Digest. It is better suited to hold makeup or pens and pencils or small sundry items.

This foldable backpack could hold a labtop, a pair of mens 38 size jeans, 2 ex. large shirts, 3 pairs of socks & two pairs of mens ex. large boxers folded neatly. As for carrying a laptop in this bag I feel that the material is too thin to keep the laptop from being damaged if it gets banged or dropped. This is not what I used the backpack for. I just wanted to show how much items fit in this bag.

It's not fully structured but the fabric is thicker and i think the base is sewn to stand up on its own. I use it as a diaper bag and when it is packed it will stand up on its own for me. I think that if i used it for school with textbooks and a computer the weight of that might not stand up on its own but I've never tried. It has a full zipper top closure, a large zip on one side and the other 2 outside pockets are pretty deep so the stuff i put in there rarely falls out. I love this bag!!! i have never used any other bag since my baby was born, there are so many pockets, it is awesome!

No, you can't fit any clothing in the bag. That's about the only downside. I switched over from a Filson computer bag/briefcase and traveled with it extensively. I could get all of my toiletries and a couple of shirts, eytc., into it am live out of it for 3-days. But - it didn't protect my computer as well and I got tired of carrying it as opposed to a daypack over the shoulder. Always a trade off.

I purchased this bag as a gift for my niece to carry her art supplies in and it was the perfect size for that. I do think it would be too big to use as a lunch bag only. A standard size laptop could fit in it but I don't think I would use it for that either because the computer would probably be too heavy for the material the bag is made out of. Hope that helps.

This is a great bag for throwing a few extras in and carrying around - snacks, cords, etc. I would not use this to fit clothes as I genuinely don't think you can fit clothes AND other items in here. It's not tiny but it's not spacious.

i guess more of the curved. the hydration pack is curved and that sits closets to your back, but there is some curve to the rest of it. This bag wasn't exactly designed for laptops. check out the momentum or the radial or the spin series. they will get you closer to what you're looking for if laptops are important. I should say that it's certainly possible to put one in there if you need to, remember there's not much of a bottom and no padding for one.

It's not designed as a quick draw bag. It has no side or compartment zippers. Its set up like a normal backpack. It's meant for transporting a lot of gear, a lot of weight safely and organized. So I'm sure could manage too do that if you set the zippers and angled the camera right. But I doubt it would the most comfortable thing. For something carry less and be able take out and use on the fly. I recommend think tanks turnstyle bags. Yours sacrificing most of the room. But it holds all you could need for day too day non professional use.

You could use it for a laptop case, it's up to you, laptops are flat, and it might slide around in there as it's not meant for that in my opinion.

If you are talking about the little pouches on the side - not much really. They are just very thin zippered pouches that could hold nothing too much thicker that paper. There is a full pocket behind it though that holds stuff. This is a great bag. I have even checked it on planes for trips when we rented bikes. Use some compression bags or compressed zip locks and you could live out of this thing for over a week.

if u don,t use it as a camera bag there is plenty of storage for text books and a laptop , it rather expensive if that's wat u are going to use it for

That depends on what you are looking for. I bought this to carry a light small Asus laptop, and just a book. For me, it's small and practical, I can carry everything I want without a hassle. I even carry a light sweater in it!If you want something small and practical, this is for you. If you want to carry a lot of stuff, then this might be just too small.
