I love a larger screen laptop for presentations, photo editing and streaming movies, so I often use a 17.3-inch screen laptop at school and work. But finding a professional bag that fits my 17.3-inch laptop is difficult, especially when carrying other gear. The Estarer Laptop Messenger Bag is made for both professionals and students and holds my large laptop and tablet, plus my gear, supplies, notebook, and water bottle. It’s roomy without being cumbersome or heavy and has numerous compartments and pockets to securely hold everything I need to take me through the day at from work to school.

CONSTRUCTION AND DESIGN
Made with a thick, durable, water-resistant canvas, it has both a top handle and a rugged adjustable shoulder strap, up to 25.3 inches in length, so the bag can be worn across the body if desired or hung by the shoulder.
The adjustable strap allows for wearing the bag off the shoulder or cross body
The main compartment fits multiple books or up to a three-inch binder notebook in addition to the laptop compartment.

The stitching is well done with no loose threads and it is made with quality materials without shortcuts. For example, the connection between the bag and strap is metal, not plastic. The shoulder strap leather is well stitched and thick and bears the weight well.

MY EXPERIENCE
I was able to carry not only my laptop but a 3-inch binder notebook, a textbook, my tablet, and my water bottle all in separate compartments.
The front slit pocket fits a tablet, passport, a phone and wallet
A roomy compartment holds books and a binder
Laptop, binder, textbooks, notepad and tablet compartments
The front flap holds my ID in place so I can swipe scan into the secure access only buildings without having to remove my ID from the case, which is convenient when I am carrying coffee or rushing around work or school.
I like that I can carry everything I need for a full day of work or school or travel. There are two water bottle pockets which means I can carry a water bottle for during the day and another bottle for the gym, or a water bottle and a thin coffee thermos. This is more convenient than waiting in line for coffee before a class, yet the bottles are safely kept away from my laptop, papers, books, and equipment.
Large roomy compartment has multiple pockets for finding items quickly
I could also fit a scarf in my bag in case the weather gets chilly.
This case holds everything I need for a full day at school or work
The bag is highly durable, even when I overstuffed the bag, the shoulder strap bore the weight and the bag did not rip. The top handle is sturdy and comfortable to carry the bag without chafing.
Long adjustable shoulder strap is ideal for travelers, college students, and professionals for carrying lots of gear
The back could be used for an overnight trip. I could fit my makeup and toiletries into the back pocket, socks, spare t-shirt, flat shoes, tablet, small hairdryer, and my camera, etc.
I particularly like the double security of both the velcro over flap and the zippered top compartments to keep the contents of the bag secure from theft, loss, or the weather.
