As far as storage goes: there are few pockets on the outside, just enough so they don’t ruin the overall shape of the bag, but more than enough sleeves on the inside, so I can stuff inside all my daily necessities: my new laptop in the large pocket, along with some textbooks and files, pens and pencils in their special slots (there are two pockets destined to pens but you can use other pockets if two aren’t enough), the power supply extension cord in another sleeve, my nano iPod, its cable and the headset that I can pull outside the bag through the special headphone grommet for easy access, I can even fit my umbrella inside the main pocket. I use the side compartment (the external one, placed on the front of the bag) to store small cables, my keys and other thin things.
For such a slim bag, the Belkin Slim Back Pack can really hold a lot of items. It looks good, I like the colors, the storage room… EVERYTHING about it is great. I’m really happy with my purchase and hopefully I won’t misplace this one too.

I tried to avoid the mistake I made before when I bought a not-so-flexible portable DVD case where I couldn’t even add a bottle of water without adding extra pressure on the zippers. And that’s when I decided to give up using that case and start searching for a new one. I’m also a great fan of the black-fabric-metallic-zippers combination, it gives me that motorcycle rebel feeling ?

Its sporty looks are complimented by plenty of extra features, like the padded laptop main sleeve which can easily hold both my net book and its power cord, the easy-to-access phone carrier placed on one of the comfy padded shoulder straps and the two flexible pockets for water bottles or other small items, that can easily adjust to objects that vary in size. The great thing about it is that, despite the good number of storage places, where I regularly stuff all the misc junk I like to carry with me, it’s still light and easy to handle and it fits to all occasions, even the most formal ones, like conferences and work meetings.

After using it for a few weeks, I only have a couple of things I don’t like about it: the pens sleeves are a bit too small if you normally use pens with any sort of rubber grip on them, so if you consider buying the Mobile Edge Ultraportable Backpack consider buying different pens. Secondly, the cell phone pocket is a bit too large for my phone and that is a bit annoying, but I can live with it.

Overall, the Mobile Edge Ultraportable Backpack was worth every penny, the quality is great, the handle is well padded so it doesn’t hurt my hand at all and the design is right on my taste.
