Does anyone travel with this? Durable thrown in a bag?

I've taken the Anker on several trips and just put in the same bag with my Acer Iconia. It received no special protection although it was inside a computer bag in the same pocket as the computer itself. Since the construction seems to be aluminum for the back and fairly solid keys it should do as well for rough treatment as most. Of course ruggedized keyboards might be a different story but ordinary people usually don't buy ruggedized stuff - I certainly don't. I'll mention that the form factor makes travel easy. It is very small and quite thin and light so it is not at all burdensome to carry.

No, although the packaging makes for a reasonable low durability case for keeping it at home. I wouldn't think it durable enough to throw in a toolbag.

I've taken it on an airplane many times as a personal item. No questions asked. Just don't take a purse. Put the purse IN the backpack. In other words, you can have a carry on AND this backpack, no problems :-)

i've found it to be very durable ... no signs if strain. I do not, however, carry that kind of weight in my bag. Have you considered saddle bags and a mule? ;-)

Curious if you bought and used it on your bag? I'm looking to do the same...

I've put it in a backpack and carried it onto a plane and didn't have any issues. Your mileage may vary, though, depending on how pissed off your local TSA reps are by the time you get there.

Yes, I have traveled with this and no it did not leak. I would still put it in a plastic bag.

I have never taken it on a trip. I would not even try, as it would be hard to protect from breakage. Sorry.

The bag is pretty sturdy. But it's an "executive" type of bag, not meant for throwing or slamming around. You may want to get something more rugged like a Halliburton.

I like it, I think it is pretty well made. I use it for travel and it survives luggage handlers.

Yes, its durable. I through my phone in my purse a lot and it has held up. It doesn't offer much protection as a OutterBox would, but I don't think it was designed to. It's very pretty.

I've had this laptop bag for about 2 years. Wife got it for me, and it's worked great. I travel for work, and tend to take this bag with me rather than my standard laptop bag, due to the ability to stuff a lot in there and still be able to easily pass through security. Build quality (for me) has been great. I don't use it daily, but for standard usage it should last a while.

I have one that is about the same weight and have carried it on many of flights and when you have an additional carry on it is a bit of a pain and if you have to run all over god and country in the airport it does get heavy. If you fork out some money for a backpack bag that fits the larger screen you will be grateful you made the investment.

It's really for travel; small enough for flights (as hand-carry luggage), durable enough for hikes. Had mine for 3 years and it's still intact.

I have not done any air travel with the bag, but I have had it on a few trips and it has been great. I too fish with some expensive rods, Sage Z Axis, Orvis Helios, etc. I think it is a great gear bag. No complaints from me.

I've not tried to carry this one on the plane, as of yet, but a I did carry on a similar-sized bag to Hawai'i with no trouble at all. I was loaded down with my camera gear, a laptop, jacket, etc. and I had no hassles.

Mine has held up. It gets really squeezed when in its bag. It takes a little while for it to bounce back to its shape but always has.
