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.

I would keep something as delicate as a laptop in my rucksack on my back... It would technically it would fit it you have the kind with the saddlebags that open up on the sides, but I don't think you would want your laptop jostling around like that.

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.

No because the top of the bag is held rigid by a wire which would prevent it being folded flat. It is ideal for hanging on a door because it remains open, but for travelling something smaller would be more useful. I used to use a lingerie bag which could be easily washed at the end of the holiday. Hope this helps

I guess that would depend on how much stuff you need to bring and whether you are carrying a laptop as well. Regrettably, the way the compartments are organized, you would have difficulty putting in anything but your computer and whatever documentation you need to bring. Albeit, this is an excellent bag that is very well made, it is best suited as a mobile office and not a weekend bag. Hope this answers your question.

It does hold its shape ok fine with just misc. stuff in it. The one in the pic has been stuffed with a box. I know it does not stand on its own even with my laptop in it. It really is a laptop bag, though, and the pockets are set up for such. Three partitioned areas for laptop, iPad, Intuos pad etc. Then a couple of misc. small pockets and another large open area where I throw the power cord and misc. cabling. One more quick-access compartment(again... really big) that you can get to without opening the flap. Nice enough bg for the price, just not as versatile as I thought it would be. I plan on getting a backpack.

This is not a laptop bag. It is not for carrying computers. It is a bag for swimmers and their swim gear. I would not recommend using it as a computer 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!

The bag does not offer much in the way of protection, but it works as a backpack nicely. If you are wearing it on your back then it's safe from damage, but I would strap it on to anything.

you can but the bag does not have a cover or much padding. I don't think I would carry my laptop in there all the time. In a pinch it would fit but not a bag that I would carry it all the time. There are no slots or compartments on the inside so other stuff would have to be on top or underneath.

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.

I'd say pretty unfeasible for that purpose. It's larger than a typical messenger bag, and its pockets aren't particularly well suited to hold papers, etc. I absolutely love it for my bike, but I think you'd be disappointed having to lug it around.

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.

it's really a laptop briefcase rather than a travelling bag. I guess if you limit yourself to an extra shirt and set of unmentionables and your toiletries are fairly minimal it would work fine. if you need a second biz suit, you're probably out of luck.

I doubt it. The bag is not that large or heavy duty. It's ok for incidentals like wallet, phone etc.

That's what I use it for. I really like it. The only negative is the bag is a little narrow so some books are a little tight. I would carry my lunch, gym clothes, 2 notebooks, planner, scientific calculator, three medium textbooks, a water bottle, chrome book it's charger, and some other little things.

You probably can in the outer pocket on the part that folds over the access to the laptop and other sleeves but it will bulge a good bit. I found this bag is good for simply carrying tablet/laptop, papers, etc.. basically flat stuff. I have a sound bar that is thinnish and long but even that bulges it out. Not really intended to carry anything to thick or round.
