Has anyone carried this in a backpack and how did it do?

Hello, I did not carry it in a backpack, but in a small carry-on for our dive trip to Roatan. I really like this case, but I did make one adjustment. It comes with all the sponge padding in it and it is cut for you to pull it out so the items sit down in the case. The spot where you put the camera, I cut the sponge in half, and stuck that piece back into the top so that the camera did not touch the top of the case. It gives it more protection that way.

I have carried it once in my back pack when I traveled....its like the size of a laptop case just a little thicker. The shell has a hardness to it so it protects your equipment just fine. So the only down side is it takes up some room.....it's like carrying a larger school book in your back pack...but the plus is it stores a lot of your equipment....I also have a smaller size when I don't need to take a lot of stuff. It's the size of a small padded lunch box. The next thing I am going to look at is the back packs made for the go pro...they look pretty sweet. A lot of compartments.

I carry a heavy load in my ibex backpack on a routine basis and have had no issues with the straps giving out or sagging. I can pack a 17" laptop, all the peripherals for it as well as text books, binders and writing instruments without issue. It has great storage capacity and because of the shoulder strap design, it takes some of the stress off of my shoulders when carrying the load wherever I trek. Well made and after 6 years, still a great bag.

I always take this bag on vacation trips. Some of our longer hikes are 2-3 hrs long. I have no problems with shoulder or back pain. The backpack fits snuggle against my back and moves with my body, unlike regular backpacks that will swing back and forth. I packed a DSLR with 55mm lens, a 55-200mm lens, battery charger, and a simple lens cleaning kit in main compartment. I put wallet and keys in upper compartment. This is small bag, so don't expect to carry a lot with it.

From my experice it's pretty air, tight. It's got like a rubber piece that keeps it sealed tight or from popping open. I don't think I would throw it upside down in my backpack, but it's pretty leak proof I think.

I left it in my backpack while I was out on tours, it got warm, but I didn't have any problems because of that

I haven't had any issues with it. I love this bag. Holds everything I take with me and it was CHEAP...but not cheaply made!

Yes, I put my backpack in it with a bungee cord on top when I commute to work. Just make sure you secure the velcro strap or it will fall off!

It can be carried on its own. It can be carried in a backpack. It is a great toy.

I have never worn it with a backpack, so I'm really not qualified to answer the question.

I went on a backpacking trip for 4 days with 18-19 KG. ha no problems at all. It holds a lot and has many places to clip outside items on

yes, it can carried as backpack. I experienced one of the shoulder trap got unhook 3-4 times. The design and the hook seem good quality. I just didn't see why that one side got unhook several times.

Personally had no problems. It has made it through a lot of travel through major airpirt screenings with rushed and rough zipper use. Has been working really well for me.

You won't be able to wear it as a backpack, especially if you have your foldable inside it, as it is not designed for shoulder carrying. The carrying handle is also not padded. However, if you're talking about an empty bag, in its case, then you may sling it over the shoulders, although it might be a bit lose, depending on your frame. While empty, the bag is pretty light, so it should not bite through your shoulders.

I did not use it as a backpack. The roller bag was too big for my needs and I returned it. Unfortunately they are being very slow on my credit. Lord knows if I'll ever see it.

The carrying case is amazing. Don't expect to carry it comfortably in a backpack however. If you're flying it will fit into a standard size carry-on.

I do carry mine around all day, and it tends to get a bit heavy but it fits in my backpack pretty well. If you are worried about the weight you should consider getting a shorter screen size or maybe a lighter laptop.

Yes it's designed for going in a backpack. The thermal sleeve doesn't have straps like most models. It's only about 1 1/2 feet long and at most 8 inches wide
