Lowepro Tropolis Notebook Backpack

Nice product

Lowepro has been making high-quality camera cases and photo equipment backpacks for over forty years now, and this experience shines through in this Lowepro Tropolis 1100 notebook computer case. Must note that in the product description it's erroneously called a backpack, but it's not - it's a well-designed messenger-style computer case, or computer bag if you wish. It's a great balance of ergonomics, convenience, durability and businesslike messenger bag styling. Lowepro has always been known for providing excellent padding in their camera bags, and that experience ensures that your investment in your notebook PC will be well protected. Also worth noting is that there are plenty of pockets in this bag for power cords, USB items, and the accessories that we all carry with out notebook computers. This unit also doubles up as a good messenger bag, with a decent book compartment, perfect for storing legal pads and file folders. Its back magazine pocket quickly converts to a luggage handle sleeve for when you might be travelling with a luggage cart. If the bag is too tight for your 15.4" notebook computer, then simply move the zippered pouch for power cords and adapters found in the main compartment to the outer pocket, and it should work quite well. This bag's well-padded interior was designed to fit most 15.4" wide-screen notebook computers, but if you need a larger version, check out the Lowepro Messenger Factor L Computer Bag , which is designed to fit 17" laptop computers. The exterior both of these Lowepro Messenger Computer Bags is water-resistant, and they all have excellent interior padding. One of the most important (and often overlooked) features of these and all Lowepro computer bags is their well-known and properly padded shoulder strap, one that seems to fit the shoulder better than most. This is a very businesslike computer case, but we're all individuals who have particular needs and tastes. Luckily there are other excellent computer cases from Lowepro worth considering, such as the Lowepro Messenger Factor M Computer Bag or the Lowepro Transit Briefcase L Notebook Case . These do cover a broad range of prices and features, but they all seem to have that same high-quality construction that made this company's name and reputation in the photographic world. If you're looking for a simpler computer bag, then the Targus TSM08001US Velos Messenger may fit your needs. This dark charcoal messenger style bag, which provides two distinct looks with its two quickly interchangeable padded shoulder straps in charcoal and lime is stylish and sturdy, but lack the accessory pockets found on the cases from Lowepro. Pick the Lowepro Tropolis 1100 computer case or any of the others mentioned here and you can't go wrong.

We own several LowePro camera bags and decided to try the laptop case. I'm so glad we did. This is an incredible case! You can easily adjust the interior for a nice, snug fit for nearly any size laptop up to 15.4". I have a Sony Vaio 15.4 that almost fills the laptop area. Yet, with all the built-in pockets, I still have plenty of room for my power pack, mouse, surge protector, notes, etc. The padding is incredible and gives me assurance that my laptop will be safe. I love the padded, contoured carry strap that hugs the neck/shoulder area. The hardware and zippers are extremely rugged and durable. As long as we can find a LowePro bag for each of our specific needs, we won't consider anything else!

Exactly what I was looking for and a great price, plus ordered Saturday delivered Monday Amazonian Service!! I was primarily looking for something to tote a new canon IP90 printer in as I rarely take the old laptop anywhere. Lo and behold the IP90(with battery attached) is a perfect fit in the smaller side compartment so the 15" Inspiron can come along, if needed, with room for peripherals. The clamshell way it opens is also fantastic, no worries about scratches slipping past zippers. Shoulder strap has an ergonomically curved pad and handle is stout yet has cushioned grip. Zippers work easily, hardware has nice look. Exceedingly well built for the price.

So wonderful I’m UPSET that I can no longer find another available

This is a great bag in every respect. The main is space. It has plenty of space. I even take my external harddrive with me, not including a notebook, laptop and all the cords and gadgets. I recommend. Shoulder strap is also nice.
