Soleil April 12" Laptop Bag with Organizer

Fast delivery, packaged well, decent price. I love the pattern, I'm getting lots of compliments on this bag. <BR><BR> I have a couple issues with this item. I wish it came in other sizes (I googled Soleil many times)! My laptop is a 14.1" so it doesn't fit in the compartment it should. Also, that you have to unzip it all the way just to put something in or get something out. It doesn't give that much, even when it's open. The straps sort of hurt and the material for it is poor (I've had this bag for almost a month and the material on the straps are starting to peel). Buy.com should add more pictures of their items, for example, when the item is open, how it looks inside, etc. Lastly, the bag alone starts at a weight of 2.2 lbs so it's not recommended that you carry your whole life with you in this bag, just the essentials. <BR><BR> Overall, I still love this bag and will continue to use it as much as possible.

This was my first order with "Buy.Com", didn't know what to expect. I received my order with no delays, quite remarkable delivery, this made me so happy. Very excited when I opened the box and looked at this laptop bag that I had ordered, better quality than I had in mind and the price was fantastic. Have already placed another order with this company, no regrets, thanks Buy.Com.

It is a surprise how good the quality is. I have bought two laptop bags before and they were too heavy or horrible looking. And the price at Buy.com is much much less than other sites. The bag gives me enough room for my Toshiba 12", everything else and folders, and still looks elegant. Love it.

The inner pouch designed for the laptop doesn't fit my 14" ASUS, as expected, but I can easily fit in into the main compartment and use the laptop pouch for other things. Looks great, I always get compliments. I was worried that the outside would be a cheap shiny plastic, but it is textured making it look much better while keeping it resistant to the elements. Definitely recommend.

The bag looks pretty good but seems a little too wide for the size laptop it is fitting. The laptop compartment is a little big for my 12.1" IBM Thinkpad but it is great in that it is just the right size to fit a binder. I have only 2 problems with the bag. 1)it is very heavy with everything in it. The straps don't have padding so it can be painful to carry it is not very convenient to carry around on one shoulder all day. 2) The opening is not very flexible so taking things in and out is sometimes a hassle because you have to fully unzip then pull the sides apart to get things out. <br><br> Overall the bag is a very nice appearance, very classy so if you're looking for a cute bag to take to work and not planning to carry much, then this is great, but if you plan to load it up, might want to go with something lighter.

This bag is very useful. My laptop is a 12" Toshiba; it fits very well and the bag is very protective. You can organize your other stuff easily inside the bag and it can take so many things inside. The bag is very classy; all of my friends mentioned that. The only thing is the bag itself 2.2 lb and it might become a little heavy when you put all the other stuff in, but it's no problem to me at all. Overall, it's an excellent bag for the price.

It fits my Dell 700m (12.1") very well! The design and the quality is so good! $19.99 is really a good deal! Love it!

Nice looking bag. My 12" IBM Thinkpad X61 Tablet does not fit in the "gel compartment" ... its also seems too wide and boxy. Buy.com would take it back but you have to pay return shipping (more than $15) ... so overall - decide carefully.

If you want to look really cool and fashionable, buy this bag immediately! I was just amazed by its quality, frankly speaking for such a money, I had not expected that. It's a steal!!!! The bag has great organizer, lots of pockets for everything you need; material is water-resistant, I assume it's easy to clean. also, the bag turned out to be bigger than I expected, but it was completely my mistake of not checking the parameters mentioned in the description.
