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.

MY EXPERIENCE USING THE ESTARER LAPTOP CASE

I prefer laptops on the larger side, at least 15 inches. But finding an attractive case that looks professional for this size laptop can be difficult. I also prefer that a laptop case does not look like a blatant laptop case for some safety while commuting or carrying it in public. I like that this case appears more like a vertical bag than a laptop briefcase per say, yet it still looks very professional and it is not bulky or cumbersome. The bag compliments many items of clothing that I tend to wear to work.
Despite being slimline and sleek, the laptop compartment is well-secured and padded nicely.

It is comfortable to carry by the hand straps or the detachable shoulder strap. The strap is long enough for me to wear it across my body if I wish to carry the bag close to my body or even underneath my coat while traveling or walking through busy city streets.

It securely holds my 15.6-inch laptop or my 15 inch MacBook. I like having a stylish bag to carry my MacBook for presentations and meetings where design elements are presented.

It can also hold my iPad or other tablet, charger cords, my phone and a few small personal items such as mints and a lipstick, and it is easy to access the front pocket and zippered cases without having to open the main bag compartment.

While a backpack style laptop holder is convenient, it is not necessarily professional looking for an office worker, salesperson, artist or consultant. A backpack can also wrinkle your work clothes, giving a less professional, unkempt appearance. The option of either carrying by hand or shoulder strap keeps my blazers, suits and dresses presentable without the crush marks that laptop backpacks can make on my clothes.

Estarer Women’s Leather Laptop Briefcase matches feminine and professional outfits and the colors are so versatile!

CONCLUSION

The perfect companion for the on-the-go professional, the Estarer Women’s Leather Laptop Briefcase is stylish, slimline and sleek. It is comfortable to carry while still transporting all my necessary work equipment. It looks feminine while being minimalist enough to appear professionally attired while carrying a laptop or presentation materials discretely. Unlike many laptop case bags, it is not utilitarian or dull. The bag comes in several neutral and versatile colors that work well with most wardrobe choices, making it an ideal choice for those who work in the arts, sales, consultants, advertising, legal professions, academics, or anyone who does presentations or brings their laptops with them to work. Sturdy enough to protect the bag but not heavy or cumbersome, I love having a discrete, attractive way to transport my mid to larger sized laptops that is not bulky or cumbersome.
