Pickpocket Proof Accessories: Oscaurt Anti-Theft Laptop Backpack
We often carry valuable gear to work and school, and even on vacation. And when we travel, we generally tend to carry our tablet, laptop, camera gear and other expenses wares. But not just any laptop backpack will keep your valuables safely concealed and protected while in transit. And it is not just the cost of the gear, it’s also your work product and photos at risk. To keep these valuables safely concealed with the Oscaurt Anti-theft Travel Backpack Laptop Bag with USB Charging Port, a bag that is stylish enough to look professional but safe enough to carry your most valuable laptops.
The stylish Oscaurt Anti-theft Travel Backpack Laptop Bag with USB Charging Port holds my iMac, tablet, wallet and drawing tablet safely while I walk around campus and work. And it’s silver/black color scheme looks great
OVERVIEW
The Oscaurt Anti-Theft Laptop Backpack is a stylish and ergonomically built, well padded and sturdy backpack that safely holds a concealed laptop and wares in padded inner pockets, as well as multiple internal hidden zipper pockets and sleeves for concealing valuables like cash, passports, phones, tablets, credit cards, as well as work accessories including space for paper presentations, USBs, glasses, pens, paperwork, and even jewelry. With its’ accessible water bottle compartment and built-in USB charger port, it is ideal for the fashionable overnight traveler who carries expensive laptops, cameras, drawing tablets and other equipment around campus or work, or for those who commute or walk through crowded areas with valuable items they wish to keep safe.
Deep inside pockets and zippered pockets can keep cash, phones, passports and other items handy yet safe
INTENDED USE
This bag is intended for the needs of an adult professional, traveler or student who carries their laptop with them for professional, academic or personal use. Whereas junior high school style bags have large capacity single space compartments to accommodate textbooks and a lunchbox, that style backpack can’t protect valuable electronics. The Oscaurt Anti-Theft backpack is geared for adults who carry a laptop to work or school, and it is ideal for someone who likes to work remotely at a coffee shop because they can carry their laptop and all their supplies neatly in all the pockets, it’s like having a portable office stored safely within a convenient backpack!
Carry everything you need to work away from the office
DESIGN AESTHETIC
The Oscaurt Anti-Theft laptop backpack is made with a color scheme of black and metallic silver with a light sheen that matches nicely with many colors, such as this icy pink, platinum, and purple variegated blouse. The colors are neutral and work for both males and females.
It looks like a regular stylish backpack so it does not alert thieves or pickpockets to the fact that it holds valuable electronics
No need to worry about laptops slipping out of the secure padded cases
Even when overstuffed, the backpack’s waterproof material is highly durable and retains its’ shape
THE BAG IN ACTION: DESIGN FEATURES
- WIDE PADDED SHOULDER STRAPS: The shoulder straps are wide so the weight is evenly distributed and does not strain the shoulders or back, the straps are also padded so it does not leave marks or wrinkles on work clothing
Wide, comfortably padded shoulder straps make the bag ergonomically friendly to carry
Thick Padding on Shoulder Straps
Underside of padded shoulder straps
The side view of the padded shoulder straps:
COMFORT PADDING: The shoulder straps and inside back of the backpack have a quilted impact cushion back for maximum comfort and ergonomic carrying of heavy items.
Quilted impact absorbing padding that lays against the upper back when worn
- WATER BOTTLE SIDE POCKETS: Side pockets can hold a water bottle safely away from electronics and valuables within an accessible but deep and wide pocket
Overhead view of deep side pockets
Two side pockets to hold water bottles or coffee thermoses
- PICKPOCKET-PROOF ANTI-THEFT CONCEALED ZIPPER: Deter pickpockets and thieves from identifying access to your bag contents with the hidden zipper. The zipper of the main pocket is fully hidden in the back of this bag, no theft will easily open your backpack.
An overflap, seen here flipped up, normally folds down and completely conceals this zipper, keeping the contens hidden and safe
- HANDLE: Secure, easy to carry, ergonomic handle of ease of hand carrying
The handle is padded, secure, and ergonomically easy to carry without chafing the skin
HIDDEN LAPTOP COMPARTMENT: Spacious enough to hold a 15.6″ laptop without appearing like a laptop case
Internal laptop sleeve can hold laptops, drawing tablets and devices
Thick and well-stitched velcro adhered strap keeps valuable electronics safe
Sturdy velcro strap keeps laptops in place
- NIGHT SAFETY REFLECTIVE TAPE: This is a feature I have never seen in an adult laptop case before and it is an excellent idea: there’s reflective tape on the front of the bag to make the bag conspicuous at night, making it safer to walk at night. If you take night classes, this is very worthwhile for walking home or to your car. Most professionals dressed for work would not be wearing any reflective clothing, so this makes night time classes so much safer. This also makes the bag very useful for those who work the night shift or late hours, such as in a hospital.
INSIDE POCKET FEATURES
The inside of the backpack has a padded laptop sleeve that holds laptops up to 15″ and if the laptop is slim, up to 15.6″. There are also multiple hidden open and zippered pockets for storing valuables
- USB CHARGE PORT CABLE: External USB with built-in charging cable offers a convenient charging of your electronic device on the go, such as phones or tablets.
USB
- CONVENIENT SIZE AND CAPACITY: Not too big to carry yet large enough to hold all your in-transit computer needs. The size is 11.02″ x 4.92″x 16.93″ inches.
- MULTI-COMPARTMENT: for holding a computer mouse, earbuds, headphones, VR equipment
Deep pockets to hold notebooks, gear, wallets, glasses, camera cases, etc.
- ZIPPERED POCKETS: to hold small items such as keys, pens, wallets, cellphones, books, credit or gift cards, etc. SO MANY POCKETS!
Pen loops, deep pocket for hand sanitizer and lip gloss, zippered pocket for cash, passport, phone
Hidden pockets everywhere!
Hidden wallet compartment is completed concealed but easily accessible
MY EXPERIENCE USING THE BAG
The bag is sturdy and holds my laptop safely as well as all my gear including a sketchbook, notepad, my tablet, scarf, my bento lunch box, my computer glasses and sunglasses, my phone and other gear. There is room to store my drawing tablet in addition to my laptop. The laptop compartment is padded and safe.
The material holds up well, it is a high-quality EVA. I like this because if I overpack the bag, it will not damage it or stretch it out.
Even when I overpack my scarf, laptop, tablet, bento box, snack, wares and other items, it zips closed and retains its’ shape
It is comfortable carrying it both by the shoulder straps and by the handle. I really like that the back of the case has a special padded material that both creates a cushion and reduces heat conduction so that it is comfortable to carry the backpack even in hot weather.

The hidden zipper is easy to access if you know where it is, and the side pockets are deep enough to accommodate my oversized water bottle without tipping over.
The USB Port cable is very useful when using my laptop at a coffee shop and I want to charge my phone while I work.

Sortly – The App to Organize Your Massive Makeup Collection
Each year, Urban Decay gives away a free eyeshadow single of your choice to UD Beauty Junkie Members. Each year, I obsess over what color to choose – and for the past two years in a row, I mistakenly selected the same color (Urban Decay “Laced”) because I didn’t realize in my massive makeup collection that I already owned it and was not using this shade that just looked OK, nothing special on me. So now there is TWO of them sitting in my makeup collection unused. And worse than that, I have several dupes of that shade from other brands laying around unused as well. When faced with a dizzying array of shades of lippies, liners, shadows, and polishes at Ulta, MAC or Sephora, what do you already own the exact match or a dupe of at home in your palettes and quads?
Are you attracted to the same basic lipstick or nail polish and repeatedly buy basically the same thing? What have you tried and felt meh about? What shadows in a palette sit unused while other shades have hit pan? Which lipstick is it that you always get compliments when you wear it? What looks amazing on you? Empower your color selection with the Sortly app.
HOW SORTLY CAN HELP
Sortly is a free iOS Organizing app that makes sense of your makeup collection. It is a highly intuitive app that is easy to use and makes organization easy and fun – no more wondering if you have the exact right lipstick color, you can just check the Sortly App to find the perfect pink gloss in your makeup stash. You can also access your data via the Sortly.com website.
Here is how easy it is to organize your makeup collection with Sortly:
1) I like to organize everything into very specific categories, like Eyeshadow Palettes or Red Lipsticks. Start by adding a Folder and naming it. Add tags to help you find items easier, such as eyes, eyeshadow, smokey eye, etc. Add whatever tags will make it easier for you to find an item from your collection.
Organize your makeup collection into easy to browse folders, like Urban Decay Eyeshadow Palettes
2) Add images. You can take a picture of an item from the app or you can upload one from your library. Do you have a selfie wearing a specific shade? Add that to the pictures!
3) Add notes. Do you have any specific application techniques? Does the color match a certain outfit? Add information that will help you find the shade you are looking for.
4) Add a QR code to the item. Sortly gives you a QR code to be printed and applied to the item. So if you are looking for one specific shade within a shadow or lip palette or the lipstick you were wearing in a selfie, you can put a label on an item (or a box of items) and scan it to see if you found the right one. No more opening up every eyeshadow to find the right one!
Quickly find the item you are looking for with Sortly’s QR Code Labels
5) Add specific items. Add an individual item, and add details like the price, the best place to rebuy it, etc. Don’t forget pictures and individual QR codes!
Itemize each shade in your makeup collection with Sortly, a handy makeup organizing app
6) Add labels when packing items away. I just picked up eight of my favorite lip stain that has been discontinued (sniffle). I packed them away for safe keeping and added a label that Sortly generated for me. It let me add the info I needed to know what is in the box, it let me add a title, information and even let me pick a symbol to put on the label so it is easier to find.
You can easily add labels to boxes of makeup with the Sortly App
7) Add “throw-away” dates. I like adding the date I should throw away an individual item under “Warranty Expiring”. I used to put the date that an item should be tossed on a piece of tape on the item, but I often found that the ink wore off after a few weeks if I handled the item often (like mascara), so that wasn’t a great solution. Sortly clearly tells me when it is time to replace an item. I really enjoy this feature when I am headed to Sephora or Ulta and am looking to see what needs replacing soon, rather than just running out or realizing an item is expired. Then I can plan my shopping trips or online orders, and stock up on items so they are on hand when I need them!
I never really got into Makeup Apps for organization purposes until I tried Sortly. Sortly makes easy work of organizing a large makeup collection like mine and makes it easy to find the exact shade or look I am seeking. I love that I can access my collection via the app or my browser through the Sortly.com website and that I’m not forgetting makeup that looks great on me but that I forget that I own!
Sortly is free for everyone to use. Try a Free Trial of Sortly Plus for 14 days to get all the features for free. Find Sortly for iPhone and iPad at https://itunes.apple.com/app/apple-store/id529353551?mt=8

FITNESS: PINGKO Multi-Function Sport Pedometer
Walking is an easy way to burn calories and get in shape. No matter how out of shape you are, most people’s doctor’s would approve of them adding some extra walking to their day by parking at the far end of the parking lot, taking the stairs instead of the elevator, or taking small extra walking breaks during the day. Start slowly, take the scenic route, and eventually build the total steps per day. While any walking is beneficial to get started, it takes some momentum while walking to derive true benefit. How much do you already walk per day while running errands, shopping, at work, or taking the stairs? And how much of that walking has any aerobic or cardio value? The answer may surprise you. Find out with a PINGKO Multi-Function Sport Pedometer that shows total active steps, distance, and calories.
PINGKO Multi-Function Sport Pedometer
ABOUT THE PINGKO PEDOMETER
The Pingko Sport Pedometer has a variety of helpful features, but one thing that really stands out is it counts only ACTIVE steps, not just any step-like movement. What does this mean? If you are interested in walking for health (aerobic, muscle toning or cardio) or walking with enough momentum for calorie burning, the steps need to be continuous motion, even if in short bursts, such as running up the stairs for a forgotten item or walking with purpose, not just meandering around. The Pingko Pedometer only counts sequential movements of ten or more steps in a row. This is an accurate reading of non-passive step movement, for example, not counting the shifting of weight, or leaning forward or just taking a step or two. It is a more accurate gauge of the kind of walking or running movement that keeps us healthy and burns calories.
PINGKO PEDOMETER FEATURES
The Pingko Pedometer’s easy to read LED display shows total steps, distance, and calories. The Pingko Pedometer is a sports pedometer, recording active steps.
The Pedometer has an easy to read LED screen for calories, miles, and steps
TRI-AXIS SENSOR FOR VERSATILE CLIP-ON PLACEMENT
The Pingko pedometer’s tri-axis Walk Sensor Technology allows for attaching the detachable strong clip to my hip or at the waist, on my shoe, inside a pocket, or on my bag to accurately monitor my stepping activity.
Set the distance to Kilometers or miles using the easy to follow instructions
TRIM DESIGN LINE
It’s durable and lightweight and at 1 7/8″ X 2 5/16″ it is not bulky under a blazer or sweater or blouse when I wear it at work. It lays flat on pants or yoga pants or leggings.
Discretely clipped on my pants under my suit blazer for wearing to work
EASY TO FOLLOW MANUAL INSTRUCTIONS
The Pedometer comes with a fairly thorough user manual. The manual gives a step-by-step explanation how to change the reading from miles to kilometers.

REPLACEABLE BATTERY
This pedometer has a replaceable battery. Full instructions on how to replace the battery are included within the manual, and “AG13” batteries are a 1.5 V battery and are inexpensive and easy to find at Amazon and other retailers.
PUTTING THE PINGKO PEDOMETER TO THE TEST
I feel like I am up and down from my desk and on my feet much of the day, but I was unsure how much of that was active movement and how much was just passive “steps” that offer little exercise or calorie burning value. I tested one day at home and doing errands, another day around the office and also walking along a boardwalk walking trail near the beach.
HOW TO CLIP ON THE PEDOMETER
I clipped it to the center of my yoga pants at the waist. It also worked clipped on my shoelace. I made sure to place the pedometer so that the buttons face the ground to best engage the tri-axis technology.
Sturdy backclip fits jeans, yoga pants, and on my suit pants
It makes a light click when counting, something I noticed when I was listening for it at home but I could not hear the click in the ambient noise of a store, outside, in the gym or in an office environment.
WHAT IS AN ACTIVE STEP?
I went about my day and would check the pedometer progress after running up and down a flight of stairs or walking out to the mailbox. When grocery shopping, it counted the “active” steps walking to and from the parking lot, and when I went through aisles with my cart. But steps, such as when I stood to wait for my turn at the deli counter shifting my weight, do not count as “active steps”.
PINGKO PEDOMETER TIPS AND TRICKS
- Make sure the pedometer buttons are facing downward (not sideways or upside down) so the axis is properly enabled to count steps.
- Placing the pedometer at the center of the waistline ensures the most accurate count.
- Walking briskly enough to naturally swing your arms is often enough to enable cardio and aerobic benefit in your walking
- Before use, carefully remove the white plastic tag without ripping it
CONCLUSION
Using the Pingko Pedometer helps me track my activity and keeps me motivated to meet and increase my fitness goals. It also helps me to know if I am drinking enough water to stay hydrated for my actual activity levels. It helps me remember to take the stairs instead of the elevator and to keep an active pace in my walking when possible.
