Messenger Bag
A messenger bag (also called a courier bag) is a type of sack, usually made out of some kind of cloth (natural or synthetic), that is worn over one shoulder with a strap that winds around the chest resting the bag on the lower back. Messenger bags are often used by bicycle messengers, though they are increasingly becoming an urban fashion icon.

Cricut Spatula ToolReviewsThis is a must have for any Cricut owner. This does the job very well. I would prefer for it to be narrower, but as is, it works for my needs. I agree with another reviewer who stated this should be included with the Cricut. It is a necessary tool and prevents tears, particularly when cutting intricate shapes. It is also awesome for scooping up little cutouts that would otherwise be so stuck to the mat they'd be mangled. When I am cutting, I get annoyed trying to get cutouts off the mat without this tool- usually resorting to bending the mat and trying to catch an edge with a fingernail. While I think this is a necessary cricut accessory, I also appreciate that it is sold seperately as I have purchased several. When friends come to craft or my kids use the Cricut with me, it is nice to have several on hand. The spatula functions very well and the original one I bought still looks and works like new even after a couple years of use and abuse. This is not a great tool to clean leftover scraps off the mats, however. It is time consuming to pick individual pieces off the mat and cricut makes a triangular scraper tool that is much better for getting the little bits left behind. Yes, Cricut is waging a war of attrition against the bank accounts of their loyal customers- but I've come to accept that its par for the course in the scrapbooking/crafting industry. Still, I do love my Cricut as it allows me to take my projects to a whole other level and I get a ton of use and satisfaction out of it making things for my kids classes, cards, invitations. If you have made the investment in a Cricut, it seems like it is more than worthwhile to drop a few dollars here and there for accessories that improve functionality and efficiency. This is a must have tool if you have a cricut. This is a must have for any Cricut owner! It helps separate the paper from the tacky cutting mat without damaging what you just cut. But I also use it for other crafts... I got this as a gift with my new Cricut, someone told my husband it was a must have and I agree. It makes removing my creations much easier. Maybe a kitchen tool could be used but this is worth it. If you use a Cricut machine, you need the spatula. ProvoCraft should include it with the machine, as everyone needs one. It's well made, and it is essential. Average Rating:![]() |

Cricut Messenger Bag-Grey with Lime EmbroideryReviewsI really like the fabric on the Cricut Messenger bag (pleather) and the matching tote for the Cricut Personal. I find the "bug" peaking at the corner to be adorable. Both the messenger and tote bags are padded in the right places and quite sturdy. My only gripe with the messenger bag is that it closes with magnets rather than hook-n-loop tape. That means that when the bag is loaded with paper (heavy) the short handle on the lid of the bag cannot be used without the bag falling open. It is a messengar bag after all so that is nearly a non issue. Frankly they should just take the handle off the lid - it's really not needed. I would like to see Provocraft would make more bags and totes from this fabric in this color to protect the Cricut Expression and perhaps the Jukebox.Cricut Carrying Tote Bag This item is the Cricut Messenger Bag, not the storage tote. This advertising is very misleading. You have to click in 3 pages to find that it is not given the correct name. I have contacted Joann and they have ignored my email. Beware...this is false advertising. Average Rating:![]() |

DSi/DS Lite Universal Transporter Carrying Case - BlackReviewsThis is the best case we have had for ds so far. It can hold two ds systems and up to 20 games. If you own a DS gaming system, you need this case. It is a high quality and excellently designed product. The felt lined pouches provide a snug, secure fit for the gaming system. It's the best solution I've found to keep my kids from leaving their DS systems and games all about the house. They can store both of their DS Lites in this bag as well as their 2 chargers, car adapters, stylus, etc. If you're using the Nerf armor, then my guess is you'd probably only be able to fit one game system. The product description says it will hold up to 20 game cards because there are 20 pockets. But really, if you're not using those clear little game card cases, each pocket could hold 2 game cards so it has the potential to hold up to 40 games (although I'm not sure my 5 year old would have the dexterity to pull that off). It really is the perfect size. It's large enough to keep everything in one place, but not so big that a child would object to toting it around. In fact, my 8 year old carried it through various airports on our recent vacation and thanks to the convenient strap, I didn't have to worry about him setting it down somewhere and forgetting it. This is a must have. I'm extremely satisfied with this purchase and will be recommending it to friends and family. This is a great little bag!! When it arrives, it's flat. But as you open the zippers and peek inside, you realize how roomy it is! There's two spots designated for two DSi's, which can be used for one DSi and charger. Then that same zipper area can hold game booklets. There's also holders for extra styli, and pens. The back zipper part has individual slots for 20 games, though 40 can fit if needed. Those slots also can hold any memory cards. A zippered slot is inside that area too. Can be carried like a handbag, or comes with shoulder strap. It's just such a great bag!! This is a great case for the DS. My children share this bad and is perfect for trips in the car. Keep all the acessories in one bag. Finally, even the charger. It holds my son's DS and DSi with both chargers plus the games. Average Rating:![]() |

Official Nintendo Wii Carry All CaseReviewsbought for the kids so they could take their games with them they really seem to like it has quite a bit of room This carry case has been very useful. Everything fits just right into the padded compartments. I can even fit extra games. The only downside is that it took almost a month to receive it after it was ordered. However, it was well worth the wait. This bag is great. It's larger than other Wii carrying cases I've seen. It has specified compartments for the sensor bar, the charger, the console, 2 remotes, 2 nunchucks, a few games, and one more "open" compartment, which I put the A/V cables in. The material seems pretty sturdy. The only reason I'm only giving it 4 stars is because it seems like there is a lot of wasted space opportunity in both the main and front pockets. If they would have just made the bag a couple inches wider, there would be more room for other accessories in between all of the compartments on the sides. I was able to cram my wheel into the front pocket, but it made the zipper bulge a bit. This is by far the most awesome carry all Wii bag you can buy, and it should be because it's from Nintendo. The bag has specialized compartments for the Wii console, Wii remotes, Nun-chucks, power adapters, sensor bar, classic controllers and what ever other awesome accessories you can find for your Wii. Truly great product worth every penny. Average Rating:![]() |

LipsReviewsI purchased this game because I'd heard that the included wireless mics were high quality. I do love the mics, and it's fun to have the flashing colors throughout the songs. Sometimes it's hard to get the mics to sync correctly. The game is just about as fun as any karaoke video game, with quite a few songs I enjoy. I prefer the Rock Band games over Lips, but wish I could use the Lips wireless mics with other games. I'm a big Karaoke Revolution, Rock Band, and Guitar Hero fan. Lips is a pretty good first try. The songs are pretty good but the selection could be a little bigger. Also, some of the songs are really nice to listen to, but they're hard to sing in that a lot of the songs have choppy, quick phrasing. Almost feels like you're rapping to some of the songs instead of doing melody. I wish they copied the above games more in terms of singing. I'll use karaoke Revolution as an example. As you sing, it's very easy to see the words as well as what pitch you're singing at because they have an easy to see arrow and if you notice that you need to sing higher or lower you can adjust. This is all while still being easy to see the words to the songs. But on Lips, the words are totally separate from the pitch bar. So if you follow the words, it's hard to see the pitch bar unless you have fabulous peripheral vision. And if you follow the pitch bar, you better know the words beforehand. Plus, you see the glowing light of what pitch you're at but it's not as easy to follow as the arrow you see in Karaoke Revolution or Rock Band or Guitar Hero. They make up for this fault by taking away all of the game aspect. there's no chance to fail. There's no difficulty level to choose. There's no computer audience to boo. So it feels like a karaoke machine rather than a game. But you don't get that sense of accomplishment the other games give where you feel like you match that pitch bar and feel like a singer. They should also give you options of how the text and pitch bar scroll like in the other games. The best scrolling is Karaoke Revolution and Rock Band. Pretty each to read the text and pitch bar. Guitar Hero/Band Hero is bad at scrolling text. But it offers a static mode that is really good too. Lips is like a combination of the two but it's not as good as either mode individually. I'll be honest, I bought it for the wireless mics, not the game. The mics are really cool. They have glowing lights that change color. And the colors sync up to the music. the setup for the mics is much harder than it should be. trust me, you won't get it the first time or rather, you won't be sure you got it or not until you start the game. there's very little visual indication that it's been properly set up. And it's hard to turn off the controllers too. Because the same action (hold down the button on the bottom of the mic) does 3 different things. You need to do it twice to setup the mic. but you also do it to turn off the mic. so sometimes, you want to turn it off and then you accidentally you put it in pairing mode. when I thought the mic was off, it was on. in terms of the sound, I liked my mics for Karaoke Revolution more even though they were wired. the sound was just more natural. the sound coming out of these wireless mics seemed a little artificial. almost a tinny quality. and they were not as good at filtering noise. also, you can use the mics as instruments by shaking them to simulate various instruments like tamborine, etc. but again, there was a lag to when you shook the mic to when it played the sound so if you shake according to the music, it'll sound really off sync with the music. i love the feature of how you can join a song just by shaking the mic. and the tilt features of the mic are gimmicky but is hilarious in a group situation when both singers raise up the mic in tandem. Also, there seemed to be a delay between when you sing into the mic and when it comes out the game. but after playing around with the game, I got a downloaded update to the game from MS and it included a cool sync tool. and it's by far the easy calibration tool I've ever used for a music game. You just put up the microphone to the TV speaker while it's running and after a few seconds, it calculates the delay. Bought the mics to give me 2 more wireless mics to play the Beatles:Rockband on xbox 360 and it works just as planned. The game that it comes with works well and the girls, 8 and 6 enjoyed few of the songs. But there isn't a whole lot of family oriented songs per se. A few motown which are fun to sing and couple country songs. We played a few of the coop games, one where you had to sing well enough to make the two cartoon characters kiss. There are a few motion based skills which seem to be implemented well. I have not really tried importing my own songs as I really only wanted to get the game for the wireless mics. So if you are wanting to get 2 extra wireless mics to work with beatles, this may be the cheaper way to do it. Thanks! Yes, Lips is a karaoke game. So if you're self-conscious about singing, you won't like it. But if you actually enjoy karaoke, a very good time can be had. Early versions of the game were far too easy, but the recent patch for this title has given it more of a challenge---I'd compare it to singing in Rock Band on Hard difficulty, though with No Fail mode on. What Lips has over Rock Band or Guitar Hero World Tour is the Duet option---it's a whole lot of fun to trade lines back and forth and join in for the chorus, and Lips supports that beautifully. Duet mode alone would make the game well worth trying. Presentation is nicely done, with a lot of original videos, plenty of flashing and glittering lights, and a generally smooth design. Also of note is the noisemaker option, where people who aren't singing can use 360 controllers as additional percussion instruments. The biggest drawback is the paltry song selection. Lips only comes with 45 songs, and I guarantee you're going to hate at least a third of them. There's a decent amount of music for sale as additional DLC, but it stings to have a game ship with so little, and it stings even more that Microsoft is slowly jacking up the price on Lips DLC. Yes, Rock Band Beatles only shipped with 45 songs too, but those were 45 of the best songs ever. The song variety in Lips is nice, but it means that you're sure to only like maybe 30% of the music on the disc. Oh, and speaking of Rock Band Beatles: My main motive in buying this was to get two wireless mics to use with RBB, for a lot less than buying them separately. And it works! So aside from the game, it's an excellent deal on wireless RB mics! ...Get Lips! Lips for the 360 is a steal. It comes with 2 wireless mics, 40 songs on disc, and many songs to download via marketplace if you have LIVE. Some people may have a gripe whether or not the mics work with the other music titles for the 360 such as rockband 1 or 2. I haven't tried it yet. This is a great party game that helps with the mix. To me, it is the easier alternative for those who think Rockband is difficult. If you familiar with the karaoke systems out there on the market, this pretty much works well. It may not have the multitude of songs you'll find on the karaoke systems, but this hangs with the best. What I enjoyed about LIPS is ability to sing with the original video or sing to a default screen with some characters doing some crazy shenanigans. The interface of changing your vocals before or during the game is pretty good. If you enjoy singing with family and friends to Karaoke, this puts a spin on things. I'm pretty excited for LIPS: Number 1's when it hits shelves next month. Enjoy! Average Rating:![]() |

Case Logic Small Canvas BackpackReviewsI needed a small enough everyday backpack that could fit my 13.3 inch laptop. After going through reviews for several Case Logic bags, I settled on this model because it was the smallest backpack they had. (Apparently, most of their laptop bags are bigger than advertised and for some reason this particular model had little to no reliable reviews). It was a risk ordering this because of the lack of reviews so I ordered from a place that had a good return policy. As of this review, I've had the bag for about three weeks now. - It's aesthetically pleasing and functional. Being 5'1, I didn't want a bag that made me feel smaller or look bulky. - I was a little concerned that the straps would be painful, but it's something I got used to. Depends who you are and how heavy you decide to pack. - The inside is narrow and deep, which I like since it keeps things from shuffling around too much. - This is not a laptop bag so there is no padding, though it is lined like any other bag. Works for me since I hate the space padding takes up and I'm not rough with my goods anyway. Hope this this helpful. Average Rating:![]() |

Brown Bag Company 31549 Alpine MessengerReviewsThe Brown Bag Company really puts the meaning back into "Made in America." America needs more companies like this one. I purchased this bag because I always liked the messenger style and wanted the added durability of having a leather one. In my search for a leather bag I encountered pleather, and other leather-esque type bags, none ever really matching up to my standard of real, full grain leather. When received the bag it surpassed my every expectation. The quality of leather is extremely high, the working components such as buckles and zippers are also very durable. If you are a leather lover, and want a product that is worth every penny - this bag is for you. Average Rating:![]() |

LeapFrog Leapster Messenger BagReviewsBought this bag because we have two leapsters (two kids) and they both weren't fitting that well into the original size Leapster backpack. This bag easily holds two leapster consoles and lots of games. Lots of pockets, zippers and slots to stay organized. My 5 1/2 year old can carry it easily over her shoulder or neck/across the chest, but it is a bit too big for my 3 year-old. It looks like it will hold up under the weight of the games, etc. easily. the buckles that keep the flap down on the outside are the same ones as on a booster seat and can be a bit challenging for the kids, but it does have a zipper closure on the inside to keep all the leapster consoles secure and could be used without buckling down the messenger flap. Wish it came in more muted colors but this way they both know it's only for the leapster and overall is going to do just what I ordered it for. I bought this bag for my four-year-old son to store his Leapster 2 and cartridges. The bag is well made, but my only complaint is that the main "pouch" is divided into two sections and neither section is wide enough to easily slide in the cartridge containers. He only has 2 games so far, and we've been trying to keep them in their original packaging so they don't get damaged. I guess the bag wasn't intended for that purpose. Bag is great to keep the games and console together. I would definitely recommend buying it for the convenience of keeping the Leapfrog items together in one place, or for traveling. The price was right also! We got this bag for our son when we got his Leapster2 for Christmas. It's really nice for traveling from one place to the next. We can put his a/c adapter, instruction booklets, games, cord, & Leapster2 in it without a problem. He still has plenty of room to put more in it. It has 2 large compartments in the main portion of the bag, & two smaller zip pockets in front of that. We're really glad we got it so we can keep everything together. Just received our messenger bags today and the description did not do it justice! Great compartments to store and separate everything, plus it is the perfect size for little bodies. Every Leapster should have one of these! Appears to be very well made and durable. Average Rating:![]() |

Super Mario Brothers : Yoshi Plush (Green) - 6"ReviewsI got this for my 5 year old daughter for her 5th birthday. She absolutely loves Yoshi and puts her other similarly sized Nintendo stuffed toys on his back so he can take them for a ride. She's slept with him every night for months and he shows no sign of wear. We went for the smaller size since she's only 5 and loves to tote her toys with her wherever she goes. This one was a big hit and since it doesn't have any bells or whistles (sound box, retractable tongue, etc) she uses her imagination exclusively to play in her own little Mario universe with it.

Final Fantasy VII Game Edition Play Arts Vol 2 Sephiroth FigureReviewsTHis figure lived up to all of my standards it had many moveable parts and was very durable. now for the sword it was flimsy and broke on me trying to put it into his hand but with a little supper glue it was fixed. I recomend this figure for any final fantasy fan. This is a toy meant more for the collector than the rough and tumble kid. It's for posing and looking at, more than real play. The attention to detail is fantastic, and as close as possible to the original game character. The left hand is removable so that one with a grip can be put on for the sword...A good thing, but the loose hand makes it unsuitable to leave within the reach of small children. The face and front hair can pop off if it is dropped, but it slides right back on. Average Rating:![]() |

Heavyweight Classic Messenger BagReviewsIt's a great bag that I've been taking back and forth every day from school and work for over a year now. It's really held up and don't see that changing anytime soon. The thing I really like is it's simple enough to not get too cluttered, but has enough pockets / zippers to keep stuff reasonably well organized. My only complaint is the shoulder strap doesn't hold at all. First of all the metal ring that holds it on the adjustable side gradually slips until it is vertical (it's kind of hard to describe in words) not horizontal like it should be which causes the strap to get all bunched and subsequently start loosening -- at least it did on mine. I rigged up a little clasp with an old bobby pin and twist ties from the junk drawer soon after I got got the bag and it hasn't been a problem since. If it wasn't for having to fix the strap I would definitely have given it 5 stars and even with the "problem" I would definitely buy another one, though I don't think I'll have to do that for a while because it's made to last. Nice bag for the price but a bit larger than expected. It would be more suited for an overnight bag than for daily use. I purchased the Olive Drab version of this bag. Even though it has not been a great deal of time since my purchase (only a few days, as a matter of fact), I was very pleased with what I received. I was looking for simplicity: something I could use as a means of carrying my school supplies around campus instead of dealing with an abysmal traditional backpack. I can say that this bag fit my needs perfectly. The simplicity of the design is wonderful and very functional for a carrying bag. In fact, I would have been perfectly fine without a velcro strip, especially since I plan on avoiding it (however, those of you that are looking to use the velcro, the strips really only line up if the bag is rather full). The full description of the bag may be found below. The strap is nice and wide to allow as much comfort as possible. There is one large main compartment for large items, with a small zipper pouch sewn in as an extra flap (a little pointless in my opinion, but still could be useful); two decent sized pockets on the front of the bag and two smaller compartments on the sides, all for convenient storage for "ready-at-hand" items; and, of course, the large flap that covers the large compartment and two front pockets. Like I said, the only downside to be considered with this bag are the velcro strips, but I have no intention of using them. That is only personal opinion, of course. However, I find that this bag is perfect for any university student that is constantly moving from area to area of campus, especially since the bag is very lightweight for less burden while walking longer distances. It was a fantastic buy and I recommend it to anyone looking to pick up a messenger bag. This bag is heavy duty with lots of interior space. It also has 4 pockets for smaller items. This bag is used daily and is holding up great! Our 9 year old uses this bag as a school bag. It's being used every day, slammed around, dropped, sometimes dragged along and it still looks great and doesn't show any wear after a few months of (ab)use. Average Rating:![]() |

JanSport Classic Big Student BackpackReviewsThis bag is exactly what I was expecting from a Jansport bag, having owned several over the years, except I wasn't prepared for the new straps. For the first few days I owned the bag I was pretty sure that they would ruin it for me. They were super-stiff and really dug into a very uncomfortable spot on my shoulder. I was sore there for the first few days I used the bag. At some point either I adapted or the straps did, or both, because now I think it is probably the most comfortable pack I've ever had. Our teenaged son rides his bike a LOT and loves this backpack. He especially likes that the patterns are "pretty cool" and "not lame" like other packs we've had. It's also roomy enough to hold all of his school books so that he doesn't have to visit his locker as often at school -- a real bonus in that giant building -- but the S-shaped straps make it easier on his shoulders than a bag with regular straps. The JanSport Classic Big Student backpack is very sturdy and has been in daily, school day use for almost a year. We have a very hard time making a binder last for more than a few months. This backpack has survived much rough treatment and it still looks pretty good... plain black's cool... Gave this to my son for Christmas. He really likes it and uses it continually for school. Well worth the purchase. We were looking for a backpack that could carry the load of every book for every class. This is it! This pack has ergonomic straps making it easier to carry when fully loaded. Fabric is strudy, there's lots of compartments, and many cool fun prints from which to choose. I believe this pack will be effective from 7th grade through High School! Average Rating:![]() |

Lowepro Messenger Factor M Computer Bag--Fits Most 14-Inch Laptops (Black)ReviewsThe product itself looks really slick, but I hate how thin the shoulder strap is! It totally hurts my shoulders! I wouldn't recommend this to anyone... This company has a great reputation for making great bags; reason number one for buying it. Reason number two was the great price. Strong construction, deep & wide lots of space, the laptop slips into it's own compartment with a wide velcro closure to hold it in; the strap is very comfy & although it's stitched to the bag, it can be flipped to use on either shoulder. You can fit lots of things inside in the main compartment, also some little pockets for little things like a cell phone, an mp3 player & snacks. I have a Lowepro messenger style camera bag that I love which prompted me to look at this brand again for a laptop bag. It definitely gets the job done! 14inch Notebook fits perfectly as well as one book and a binder! Wish it could hold more and I wish that this could transform into a backpack and the it really would be perfect! Summary - It's really a good bag for the money you'll pay. It's not the most sturdiest of the bags but gets the job done. I like that there's not a huge space to carry around junk. My last bag used be 20 lbs cuz it could carry stuff. Overall - i'll recommend this bag if you understand you're getting the best bag for the money but not the best bag. Good: - Light - Sturdy - Attractive design - Cheap Bad: - Limited Space - Limited compartmentalization (is this a word) - is not travel friendly. Can't tie it against to travel suitcase Couldn't have been more pleased with this product. My previous messenger bag broke after a good 3 years of use and I was looking to replace it. My price range was about $50-100, but when I saw the $15 price tag and good reviews I thought I would give the Lowepro bag a shot. First day of use, it started pouring rain. I thought I would give put the "water resistance" claim to the test. All of the rain beaded right off of the surface, and after a decent amount of exposure...everything inside was bone dry. The bag is very well ergonomically designed, having many facets and pockets. My 13 inch macbook pro rests inside and is well protected with padding on all sides. Average Rating:![]() |

Targus TCM004US Basic 15.6" Messenger Laptop CaseReviewsThis case doesn't inspire a lot of drama. My Macbook Pro slides in it easily and seems well protected. The pocket holds my mouse and charger and various other computer specific items. After a year of constant use, it isn't really showing any wear. It does exactly what I bought it for. This is not a hard protective case for a laptop. It is a very nice, multi-compartment nylon bag. I'm so happy I chose this particular laptop carrying case. This is my first, so I did take time to look over the reviews and various cases carefully. This is very durable and yet practical. The various spaces allow me to take extra paper, pencils, calculator, etc. It's padded well enough to take hard bumps. At first I wanted a "cute" bag but decided to go with a more practical one. I would definitely buy this again. Great product and delivery was very quick. The laptop case was exactly as described and my new Dell laptop fit perfectly for my trip from San Diego back home to NJ. Great price for the case - room enough for the mouse, power cables and papers. Dealing with Amazon has always been a wonderful experience. Highly recommend Amazon in general and this product in particular. Targus does a great job with their laptop cases. This one is light and well made. Average Rating:![]() |

Caselogic XNM-15Brown Vertical 15.4-Inch Laptop Messenger Bag (Brown)ReviewsThe bag is quite attractive and durable. It holds a laptop in place securely with ample padding. It has room for several books and accessories. A great purchase.tw I purchased this bag for carrying laptop and books (plus a few purse items). I was a bit wary after reading reviews that there was no where to put the laptop power cord. I found this to be completely not true! This bag is fantastic. It's a great size, not to bulky yet I can carry everything that I need to! There are several inches of "extra" room at the bottom of the front/ books compartment, when folded up I thought this looked awkward and didn't care for it. But if you expand this out it is the Perfect fit for my charger cord and mouse! I don't have to worry about them scratching my laptop because the compartments aren't attached. I LOVE this bag! The power cord fits nicely at the bottom of the bag, so it doesn't make it look overstuffed or cause the top flap to bulge out. I highly recommend this bag to anyone considering. As an added bonus, the shipping from this seller was extremely fast. I had it within 2 days. it's a great bag - exactly what i was looking for. my 15" laptop fits perfectly fine. but the only issue is the space. i have 2 writing pads and the laptop and an ext. hdd a cell charger... i struggle to fit the laptop charger and thats it.... should've had more space for the charger but great quality, looks sexy! Overall this bag is great. I've never owned a "messenger style" bag before and was fed up with lugging around my decidedly non-sexy back-pack. Not only does it look great, but it also limits what I can bring due to it's more svelte form (a plus for me!). That being said, I also needed it to be able to haul my MacBook Pro from time to time, and this bag seems to protect it decently when I do. It's got loads of pockets and zippers (but not TOO many) for organization purposes and the internal orange-stripes make finding things with relative ease - as opposed to a darker color interior. Very smart. The one thing I'm not crazy about is that when it's closed there are open joint-areas toward the top of the bag that might allow water in if it were raining. I'm somewhat mystified that that aspect of the design seemed overlooked. Also, I really appreciate the vertical form of the bag... but actually wish it were slightly less wide. I think I'm still getting used to hauling about a shoulder/messenger bag, and I'd like it thinner and more vertical. But otherwise, this is an excellent bag with great form and styling. I don't think I could have found anything remotely better near this price range! Oh - and it's a major plus that it's nylon and not canvas - which I'm sure would be stained, and tattered in no time during my commute and party-outings in NYC. I am a female college student so I needed a durable bag that holds my laptop, books, and acts like a purse. This does all of those things with perfectly sized and accessible pockets for my phone, wallet, ipod, pens, and keys. Plus pockets that I haven't even needed yet! The computer compartment is a snug fit for my laptop, which is probably a good thing. The extra compartment holds 3-4 books easy without a noticeable bulge. Its a very unique bag that holds a ton while still being slim and easy to throw around your shoulders. Though if you plan on doing alot of walking with it, you might want to try something that puts less pressure on just one area of your back. That pretty typical of a messenger bag though. Great quality, stylish, and utilitarian bag. Average Rating:![]() |

JanSport Classic SuperBreak BackpackReviewsUsed for a highschooler, great simple design without a ton of pockets/bulk, son loves it! This backpack is awesome. Its simple and perfect. I had one all through High School and go this one for college an it will probably last a long time... I'm 17. I've been looking for a backpack b/c my handbag was really starting to hurt my shoulder. This backpack is great!!!!!!! I take it everywhere. It's light and the straps are comfy. It's always on the ground in school and never gets torn. There is alot of space too. I carry a typical 3 in. binder, two folders, 4 journals, 2 english books, a pencil case, 4 oz water bottles, and my handbag! Its very cool. I recently took it on a trip when I was traveling and it fit all my clothes and other necessities. I'm glad I got this backpack. It also arrived 2 days later. BOOST!!! My black JanSport Superbreak Classic Backpack rocks! It is very well made and constructed. The material feels great and sturdy. It holds all of my heavy college books and then some! There is a pocket inside the smaller compartment that is great for holding my wallet when I don' feel like having it in my pocket. The bag is not too big. Its simple and just right, not bulky. The top loop is great for hanging it on the hook that's on the door of the restroom stall when you don't want to place it on the floor. This thing looks great in black. I was afraid that the blue background of the JanSport logo (that is on the black bags) was going to be too bright, but thankfully it is darker than it is in the photo. It is a dark navy color. This bag comes with a lifetime warranty that I doubt I will ever need. I'm sure that this is the last backpack I'll ever need to get! :) I was on a search for a simple backpack that would fit all of my books and binders for an affordable price. Jansport was my answer. This bag is perfect for my needs. The large component is perfect for my binders and textbooks, I can even fit books and drinks in it too. I didn't want a backpack with a lot of designs all over or bright colors as I wanted it to be semi-professional looking. I highly recommend this backpack, especially for those looking for an affordable, simple bag. Average Rating:![]() |

This type of bag has been used in the transportation of mail and goods by numerous types of messengers, including Pony Express riders, postal workers, messengers on foot (especially in ancient times), and bicycle couriers. Some Royal Mail carriers in the United Kingdom currently use large messenger bags to deliver mail.
The design of the modern messenger bag traces its origin to the utility lineman's bag of the 1950s made by Globe Canvas. It allowed lineman to carry necessary tools within easy reach while climbing utility poles. Later adapted by New York City bicycle messengers using Manhattan Portage bags, each company would typically use a different color to identify the messenger's company.
