Solo Classic Collection Colombian Leather 15.4" Laptop Portfolio

Great bag, looks great and roomy has healed up to moderate use very well. The colour will blend a little but it’s not very bad. For the price it is a good bag

I first spotted this Hershey Dark colored bag at Office Max. Nestled amongst a massive wall of bags, totes and travel/carts it stood out (cue spotlight to bag). I picked it up and began exploring. It was light yet durable, roomy but not bulky, and soft but not flimsy. The engineers seemed to have thought about all of the travel/carry necessities I might bring along and made the rightful allowances. Like anything I buy over $100, I researched online to look at competing prices and, more importantly, reviews. There are some worthwhile comments regarding the strap expansion (or rather, lack thereof), the metal on metal and some others but the fact that this is all anyone can speak of negatively about this bag says something in and of itself. Most importantly, the bag just looks damn good! It utters professionalism without that rigid briefcase look which we associate with stiff, upper brass types. Nope, this exudes professionalism, quality, maybe a manager -- certainly a leader, yet still a worker. Someone who gets shite done! If you want to get a bag which sets you apart from the backpacks and the cloth/nylon cases that all of the Copper Tops possess then pony up the meager amount and get this classic, stylish bag! BTW, Office Max sells it for $179 on sale so this price is beyond a steal.

I needed a more professional looking bag than my current backpack and this fit the bill nicely. It's not terribly huge and there is no special tech pockets or anything so I bought a small, inexpensive organizing tech bag for my cables, chargers, USB thumb drives, etc. It easily takes a 15' laptop, several books / notebooks, pens, business cards, etc. but has less room than my backpack.The bag is well made, uses quality leather and looks great!

I originally bought the 17" Swiss Army wheeled computer case which works great except when all the overhead compartments are full in an overbooked flight, which seemingly more common these days. Unfortunately, my fully loaded case would not fit under the seat so I'd have to either put it on my lap or dreadfully check it.This 16" Solo case holds the same amount of stuff (tightly) and fits under the seat with ease. It doesn't have wheels, but the case itself is light so carrying it via strap is not a problem.It looks great and is quite versatile. Looks just fine dressed up in a suit and tie, or dressed down in flip-flops and cargo shorts.They also stock them in Staples if you wanted to go someplace and see it before you buy it online.~~06Mar2016~~I still use it daily. I will tweak your back and shoulder if you overload this bag and are in a long transit (long trip of multiple layovers / transfers).Strap finally gave out but I found one in the shop and just took the brown padding off the original strap and put it on the new one. One of the front snap buckle things is temperamental and works 90% of the time. Not bad for 6 years of use/abuse. Seams still intact and leather has not faded or rubbed into my clothing. Nothing split or torn.

The quality of this bag was actually top notch - much better than bags I have seen for even twice the price of this one. It was packed extremely well, and it's very functional, with lots of storage areas. The overall color was extremely consistent, and it had no funky smells, both of which would be signs of a cheap bag. This bag has all the makings of a high end bag.My only complaint would be that the straps on the front aren't adjustable, and only for looks. There are little clasps underneath them that hold it shut, but they are very high quality. That said, as a briefcase, this bag has ample space and should fit most peoples' needs. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a decent briefcase or bag under $100, or even under $200!
