Almost perfect for a 13.3" Macbook By Printwoman from Seattle, WA on 07/06/2008 Pros: Adequate Capacity, Attractive Design, Padded integrated sleeve, Quality Construction, Secure Design, Well Organized Inside Cons: Heavy, Needs accessory pocket Best Uses: Daily Commuting, Important Documents Describe Yourself: Graphics industry pro Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I was excited to snag a Crumpler bag at this great price for my new 13.3" MacBook. The green color is, happily, a little darker and richer (more olive, less lime) than it looked on the web. The bag is bigger than I expected, probably so it can accommodate slightly bigger laptops. My Mac doesn't fit quite the internal sleeve snugly--it's just a little loose. For a short person (I'm 5')") the bag itself is a little long and the shortest strap adjustment is not quite as short as would be ideal. The padded shoulder strap is a nice touch. The biggest thing missing is a secure little pocket for that accessory plug/adaptor thingy, which seems like it's going to float around in either the big main compartment or the slightly smaller outside pocket and get lost. The construction is really good. Other reviewers mention the big, loud velcro, and that's definitely true! The inside flap is long, so getting ahold of it when other stuff is packed into the bag (it's big enough to fit file folders) is awkward. Overall I'm pleased with the quality and features. I just wish it was a little smaller/shorter and had a mini-pocket.
Keep You Well Organized. Great Material. By Love_To_Shop from Reseda, CA on 05/14/2008 Pros: Attractive Design, Quality Construction, Well Organized Inside Cons: No zipper at opening, Not Secure Best Uses: Daily Commuting, Staying Organized, Traveling Describe Yourself: 5'1" Bag too Big for Me, Bargain Shopper, Casual Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: The Luncheon is a big too big for my MacBook 15" laptop. I wish there is a zipper at the flap opening. It would make this bag a lot more secure to carry around. I love the Crumpler material and design.

Perfect for my laptop and necessities By Chuck from Daytona Beach Florida on 04/13/2008 Pros: Adequate Capacity, Attractive Design, Lightweight, Quality Construction, Secure Design, Well Organized Inside Best Uses: Daily Commuting, Important Documents, Traveling Describe Yourself: Casual, Eclectic Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Engulfs my 13.3 notebook and secures it well. additional room for other STUFF.

Great if you carry ONLY a laptop By Jane from Brooklyn, NY on 04/08/2008 Pros: Adequate Capacity, Attractive Design, Lightweight, Quality Construction Describe Yourself: Bargain Shopper, Eclectic Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This bag doesn't have any outside pockets, so if you need a place to put, say, your keys, wallet, or Metrocard--stuff you'll need quick access to--you have to carry another bag or be wearing something with big pockets. To get to the main compartment you have to lift up the whole big Velcro'd flap: not convenient.
Crumpler bags are great, though--nearly indestructible, and relatively cool looking--so if what you're looking for is a sturdy bag to carry *just* your laptop, then by all means get one.
By pepelucho from portland OR on 03/16/2008 Pros: Attractive Design, Quality Construction Best Uses: Minimalist laptop Describe Yourself: Bargain Shopper, Career, Casual, Sexy Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This is a really nice bag, except for the following :
Even though the product's website says it will fit a 15" macbook pro, it doesn't do it well. The macbook is just a tad too long causing the lids to not close well.
Because of the bad closure, there is some open gaps on the side of the bag which is bad if you live in a rainy place
No organizer pockets inside, so you must have a minimalist need

bigger than I was expecting By Mainiac from Maine on 01/12/2008 Pros: Attractive Design, Quality Construction, Secure Design Cons: Inadequate Capacity, no external pockets Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I think the picture is of the "Breakfast Buffet" bag, which is proportioned differently. This bag is a vertical messenger bag, not squarish, as in the picture. I measure mine at 15"x13"x4.5".
This bag is amazingly well made and very funky. I love it for those things. It's very well padded... maybe too much so for my uses. The padding seems to take up a large hunk of the potential capacity of the bag. It holds my 15" PowerBook with plenty of room to spare vertically... but without a lot of extra room for books and papers. It has no easily accessible pockets, which makes it a bad commuter or travelling bag for me... I need access to things like keys, eye glasses, and tickets. (Others would find this great because everything's securely in the bag.)
And yet, I love it. Just not the right commuter bag for me.
FYI: Mine is blue; the lining is gold/orange.

While I wouldn't use it in a corporate setting (for the most part), it's a fun and funky bag that's very well designed and constructed. The tag that came on the bag had a price of [$], so I was happy about the savings. I had never heard of this brand before, but saw the great reviews and went for it. Glad I did. A high quality product at a super value. HIGHLY recommend it! And really cute and trendy design...
