OGIO Monaco Messenger

This bag is working pretty well. I wish the side pockets held a water bottle or at least had double zippers so I could cinch them around a bottle. Also, the strap is sewn and isn't on swivel hooks, so you have to be sure to pick it up properly to put it over your shoulder. I like the laptop pocket and the back pocket is large enough for a standard iPad with a thin case.

I like the Ogio black bag items. Being military I am allowed black bags within regs so when I locate black gym, backpacks or messengers I like I tend to stay with the same product line. I have a few gym bags by Ogio and all have held up very well and the white stitching makes it no so boring...

Nice bag just not very roomy for iPad and college books. Fits about 2 books and notebook with the iPad. It does have many pockets and an easy to keep clean exterior.

My wife is a teacher and wanted just enough bag for her ipad and laptop. She loves this bag! It's well made and is a nice purple color, not ugly!! She can fit a laptop, ipad and some pencils and papers and be out the door. Highly recommend.

Its a durable bag with space but it looks nicer in the picture.

Fantastic bag. Very lightweight yet tough. Practical and Pretty

A recent trip to New York convinced me of the importance of having a bag with a lot of options. This particular bag fills the bill. It is also VERY practical as a traveling office since my job involves driving to various locations and I appreciate having all of the pockets to store various items. The front pocket is perfect for either my Kindle or my wallet and cell phone. Once you unlatch the top (two clips) there is a whole area that fits everything from pens to credit cards and business cards and sunglasses. It also has another inside pocket behind the business area that would also hold a covered Kindle, or other flat item.But it really shines once you open it up fully. I have the gray and pink version, and the inside is a hot pink. It is fully zippered and padded in the back and perfect to carry a small laptop while still having an entire pocket for necessities. Unzipping the back reveals another padded pocket perfect for a full-sized iPad or other large tablet. The two side pockets also unzip leaving room to place other essentials or even hold a water bottle.The outside zippers are metal, and there are metal rivets holding the straps making this a very sturdy bag as well as a beautiful one. You can carry it with either the shoulder strap or the handle, depending on how full your hands are. The shoulder strap is NOT removable, but it is adjustable to a comfortable setting.While this is gray (with a pink zigzag accent), the straps themselves are silver and are shiny.I received a complimentary sample of this bag to check out for a review. When the bag first arrived, I was a bit disappointed because it seemed a bit wrinkled. However, after I hung it up and let it stretch out, it filled out nicely and I was much happier with the appearance.Unlike the business computer bag, this looks much more like a purse (especially in the gray/pink) or shoulder bag. It is practical and nice looking. All of the attention to detail makes this an excellent choice for carrying.Five stars ... I would definitely consider giving this as a gift.
