Review: Totally worth it! Three week review - I’ve been a public transit commuter and, most recently, hybrid worker in a metropolitan area. Over the years, I’ve purchased five specious, cheaper backpacks which, after a year or less, literally fell apart (SwissGear, anyone?). Tired of this recurring nuisance and not wanting to resemble a high school or college student, over the last five months or so, I’ve been eyeing higher quality backpacks. I came across the Everki brand and scoured customer review videos. Candidly, the loftier Onyx Premium Executive Laptop Backpack was tempting – but the price point was a bit high. Once I decided to bite the bullet and buy, I settled on this model one rung down, since it was on sale for 30 percent off – about a $180 difference from the top-end version. Three weeks in, I’m delighted with the purchase: -Composition: A+. The outside material is a pleasure to touch. The large, easy-to-use zippers are terrific. The stitching appears sound and strong. The orange-and-black pattern looks great. This pack can hold whatever I need for a workday away from home. -Ergonomics: A+. An unexpected gem was how well this pack fits onto my hips, especially when fastening the front straps. Even while freighting a whole load of laptops and Batgear to-and-fro, my back actually feels good. -Top pouch: A+. Just what the doctor ordered and perfect to quicky stash away small but frequently used gadgets. It fits two pairs of glasses (one in a soft case), my Kindle, a watch, etc. -Back most compartment: A+. This has the optimal space for earphone storage and an outside beautiful copper ring (to hang something on). -Handle/loops: A+. The handle grip feels terrific. Plus, there’s a separate loop for hanging. -Laptops slots: A. It fits two laptops! Orange, fuzzy, and resilient. I know my stuff will be well-protected. However, the slots for mice, etc. could be a bit larger. -Side pockets: A. While these zipped compartments are a bit smaller than the webbing on other models, the design for holding a water bottle is neat. And a computer charger/cord fits nicely into one of these. -Smaller compartments: B+. One of the main pouches has an array of slots for keys, odds-and-ends, pens, etc. However, it doesn’t zip down quite far enough. Also, while I generally love keyholder features on backpacks, I modified the one on this version with a keychain clip to make storing keys a bit easier. -Open slot: B-. This is advertised as a quick-and-easy back spot for books, newspapers, etc. And it’s rather handy for a raincoat, cap, quickly stashing one’s phone away, etc. However, this particular version lacks magnets to hold it shut (a feature on the Onyx Premium). Plus, there’s no guard against precipitation. Hence, I’m be a little reluctant to tote electronic Batgear there. This isn’t really a drawback, though. -Perhaps nice-to-haves but lacking: A brilliant feature of the Matein brand is a waist-level compartment on the straps side to deter theft. The Onyx Premium has a similar feature as well, which, in addition to deterring theft, shields against RFID detection. A feature like that on this backpack would be nice, but isn’t necessary given the top compartment’s accessibility (and it might disrupt the ergonomics?). -Auxiliary: I added zipper pulls to all the zippers, as it makes my setup a bit easier. I also put in a clip on the back ring to hold caps on pleasant and hot days. This is personal preference and by no means necessary. -Overall grade: Solid A, like a 97 percent. This backpack has become my office and I couldn’t recommend it more highly for 2025 hybrid urban environments (especially if you can find it on sale). Its durability is clear, functionality stellar, and Feng Shui captivating.
Review: Fantastic work computer bag for those that value organizational features and capacity - I had an older SwissGear bag (probably 10-12 years old at this point) that I used for both work and travel. Up until a few years ago, this meant weekly work travel (flights and trains) and when not traveling, daily office commutes using the subway. Considering the amount of use, it had held up really well over the years, but it finally started to show signs of wear (fraying shoulder strap, zipper for laptop compartment starting to go, general wear.) I was all set to go buy another SwissGear bag but as I started to dig through the reviews, it seems their quality and durability has gone way downhill. People also complained about getting stonewalled on warranty claims. With that in mind, I started researching other brands. I have a 15" laptop and 17" gaming laptop - depending on whether I am traveling for work or pleasure, either one laptop or the other would be packed, along with a power cable, cooling pad, and a Surface tablet. I also have a bunch of charging cables, a portable digital audio player (size of an iPod), earbuds, a portable HDD and SSD in cases, a mouse, a sunglasses case, pens & pencils, and other assorted travel items I keep in there. Ideally I wanted a bag with enough pockets to comfortably fit all of that - preferably with 2 small zipped side pockets, a laptop compartment (none of that TSA friendly stuff, seems like a headache more than anything else), a utility zipped compartment, a pocket for cables and other small electronics (zippable mesh area inside would be a bonus), and a zippable small front pocket for small flat items. Ideally, I didn't want to spend more than $150. I checked out tons of brands: SwissGear, Samonsite, Fjall Raven, Nomatic, Thule, GoRuck, eBags, etc. The one that kept popping up was Everki, and after checking out some video reviews and reviews here on desertcart, I figured I'd give it a try. On sale for just under $150 and with desertcart's return policy, it seemed like it was worth a shot. So far, I'm really impressed with it, and it's made retiring my old SwissGear a painless transition. Now, I no longer travel weekly for work, but I do go to the office two days a week, and this is a bag I'd feel comfortable using as my personal item for air travel. This bag has compartments and organizational features galore. Zipped small side pockets? Check. Medium front pocket? Check. Organizational slim pocket? Check. Utility compartment, with zipped pockets? Check. Roomy laptop compartment with protective padding and space for a 17" gaming laptop? Check. Small, open pocket for items you need handy like a water bottle? Check. Small pocket on top for a sunglasses case? Check. Really, this is a great bag for people that value organization and space for lots of stuff. I can fit a full sized laptop, tablet, mouse, headset, power cords, multiple chargers, HDDs, my coffee mug, shades, and a bunch of other doodads I like to be able to carry around just in case. The laptop compartment is great. It has a velcro system where you can stick your PC inside, set the width with the velcro straps, and then lock it in place with another small velcro belt on top. Big enough for my 17" gaming laptop - as well as my more modest 15" work laptop. There's another pocket in this compartment where you can easily store a tablet. My Surface fits in there easily, but you could easily stash a full sized tablet in there without issue. One really cool feature? The bag is well balanced. Fully-loaded, it sits upright (you can see that in the pics) - a nice touch. No slouching or falling over. Even with all of that packed in there, you could still fit an umbrella in there and a light sweater and still have room to spare. The little pocket on top for sunglasses is a nice touch. It's felt lined and doesn't really encroach on any of the other storage compartments in any meaningful way. There are mesh pockets galore, for storing cords, chargers, hard drives and flash drives. I really haven't found myself missing any features. The side pockets aren't overly large, but they are big enough to store a wireless mouse or a pill bottle in, with room to spare for assorted other small knickknacks. The straps are comfortable, with ample padding and thickness. I haven't had the bag for long but it's well-balanced and I haven't experienced any fatigue wearing it to work. There's also a clasp between the straps that you can use to attach them across your chest to further distribute the weight if you have to carry it around for long stretches. The bag overall seems really well-made, of a durable vinyl fabric. There's a copper ring attached to the outermost pocket for clipping something on, a heavy duty "handle" for picking up the bag without slinging it over your shoulder, and reinforcing straps attached to the shoulder straps, presumably to distribute weight and load. One thing I initially wasn't sure about was the open pocket. This one doesn't have any buttons or zippers, and I wondered how useful it would be. Well, it's wide and deep enough to stash a good-sized drinking container in without the risk of it falling out. So that's a nice feature, and something my old bag did not have. Overall, very happy with this bag. I don't find myself wishing it had something that's missing, or missing my old bag. If you are looking for a work laptop bag and you prize organization in particular, I can recommend this wholeheartedly. Of course, durability is perhaps the most important factor, and in that regard, time will tell. I plan to update this review periodically, so folks can see how the bag holds up over the long term. But from the reviews I read it does seem like Everki has an excellent replacement program. With any luck, there won't be any reason for me to test that out for many years. Very happy with this purchase. UPDATE 1/2/2026: 7 months in, this bag is still in perfect condition. It's been on two big trips (Japan, Puerto Rico) as a carry-on/primary day bag, and it's held up like a champ. In PR it seemed like we were trying to pack this bag to its breaking point, stuffing clothes and multiple water bottles in and maxing out the huge capacity of this bag, but it held up just fine, no tears, zipper issues or seams starting to come apart. Between this and regular office commutes a few times a week, this has proven to be super durable and an excellent bag that can handle everything. It's been way more useful and intelligently designed than my wife's far more expensive Samsonite laptop bag, for comparison. Still extremely satisfied with this purchase! UPDATE 8/1/2026: We're past the one year mark, and this bag is still in perfect condition. Definitely comes well-recommended for those looking for a roomy bag that can handle some heavy use.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good bag - own two from Everki
*by K***N on December 12, 2016*

In a day and age when you can find nearly anything you want, you sometimes run into a gem amidst the total crap that surrounds it. I have personally looked for a new bag for months while being disgusted with the quality, configurations, material and otherwise lackluster choices made when designing some of these other products. This bag is fantastic. Not perfect, but it is looking very promising after a very close inspection. This review is initial and I will update it as it gets some wear on it. - The first thing you notice is the quality of the fabric; not only does it feel sturdy but it can be said that it is a bit sexy as well with the design print in the front. - Second you notice the quality of the zippers when you start unpacking this thing, opening it up. I have had a lot of bags and these are nice. I do not get that impression or fear you get with others, wondering when they will break. - After opening all the pockets, you see a nice selection of partitioned spaces. The bag I last bought for my programmer (a large HP ENVY 17) was also from here, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00507NAYQ/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1. This is a rather popular Targus bag that already has a rip in it from 1 year of use when I hardly move the bag from where it sits. The bag slouches heavily when not zippered anywhere and the organization is terrible compared to this bag. - The orange colored interior is very nice but I didn't get the bag for flash, I bought it for quality. The orange does however allow you to see better where things are against the black color of the outer shell. - The laptop compartment is really neat for making sure the laptop is snug and not moving around. This is the first bag I have seen this on. Once you set the size, you do not have to do anything more than slide it in. Nicely lined pocket, easy to secure. - I just bought an Everki Titan a few weeks ago and the quality is there, but this is a smaller bag. One thing I noticed was that the pouches do not all open up a lot; you have to run the zipper down and then tug the pouch top out a bit to get it open. Not the end of the world and maybe that will loosen up a bit in time. - The larger section is just huge for whatever you would need until you try carrying part of your home along. Bigger things like game systems and external electronics that take some space will eat that pocket up. I am using this for business and have plenty of room for everything. I attached some pics of everything I threw in there and have actually throw some more in after. Can't use it if you don't have it with you. I do not travel by air much anymore so I cannot comment about under the seat storage. By the size of this, i am pretty sure it will fit just fine in the CRJ or Embraer that are still being used by some. Anything bigger is cake. - I did notice a couple things that just irked me a bit but did not make me trash the joint - The front pocket on top does not have any kind of closing mechanism; this pouch is open on the top and although it is pretty deep, if you stack anything that is rather tall, you do have a chance of it hanging right out the top and losing something. If there is not enough pressure to keep the contents smashed in and the bag tips, so may your things. You could argue that if it doesn't fit, don't put it in. That is my thinking but if they just put some quick release strap or even Velcro on the inside to hold it closed, the point would be moot. - There is no real dedicated document slot unless you call that inner zippered see through pouch the document pouch. In what I would consider the "business area" with you cards, pens and such, there is a small square there to hold who knows what. I threw in some very needed guitar picks (just never know), a couple thumb drives, SD cards and a micro adapter. I would rather have had a nice larger square for the passport, tickets and so forth. This is preference but for someone who traveled the airways for 17 years every week, that just makes sense. I am not taking a star away for anything I didn't care for because of the shear fact of how much better this bag is constructed than any bag I have had and ALL bags have had something that either didn't make sense or was not perfect. Yes, it costs more money. If you would rather have quality than quantity, I believe this is the bag. I have another and the quality is there on the titan as well. Some companies just make better stuff. Update 9/11/2019: This bag is still the beast it was when I bought it. Under inspection, I see a very minor stretch under the left strap. This is because I use this strap every single time i grab the bag, which is every single work day into the office or job site depending, and back. Absolutely the best bag i have ever owned. The small irks are still exactly the same. The front pouch that is open; I hardly use it because I do not want to keep track of the possibility of dropping something. If it is small that can dive to the bottom of the pocket, I throw it in. The zippered pocket behind is the same as well. Fully unzipped, it doesn't really open up a ton but you can still see everything and place and take items without issue. I am guessing after all this time that this close configuration is part of what makes this bag stand up to time. I can still open up every single zipper in this thing and the bag stands up. Obviously if you have a weight shift ratio to one side, i am sure you can get it to fall. Straps are in excellent condition for the use of the bag. I might buy stock in Everki as quality matters that much to me. Update 1/2/2025 - I am still rocking this same bag. Never, have I ever had a bag last this long. No, I am not in and out of airports and rental cars anymore, but I still carry this home every single day. I have been through like three laptops, maybe four while this bag is still rocking. Worth every penny.
