Case Logic DLBP Laptop Backpack

The Case Logic DLBP Laptop Backpack comes in a variety of sizes and a few colors, but all models share the same basic features: nylon construction with an attractive diamond pattern on the outside, a slim profile, a collection of pockets for everything from wallets to sunglasses to smartphones, and a padded compartment inside for your laptop. Users say the pockets and compartments are well thought out and the bag looks great, but the nylon is not reinforced, so it may not last long under abuse. It's a smaller backpack, so probably not suitable for those in school with a large number of books to carry, and the straps may not be comfortable for long hauls.

Durability: The sacrifice for buying a bag at a lower price point.

Case Logic's DLBP Laptop Backpack is made out of nylon, but is not reinforced in most areas and not double-stitched. While users don't complain about failures, they tend to think that the backpack isn't likely to hold up to serious abuse.

Comfort: Users like the padded back and straps, but complain about strap comfort.

The padded back of the Case Logic Laptop Backpack means that even users carrying sharp objects never get poked. The straps are also padded and easily adjustable. But some smaller-sized users complain they are set too widely apart, threatening to slide off shoulders, and a few larger users say the straps cut into their shoulders after longer use.

Appearance: Pretty and svelte for a laptop backpack.

Reviews universally praise the Case Logic Laptop Backpack's ability to squeeze in a whole lot of gear in a relatively slim profile. The diamond pattern on the outside is popular, and overall the bag is repeatedly described as "stylish."

Warranty: A standard 25-year warranty, but would you return a $35 backpack?

The backpack comes with a 25-year warranty, fairly standard in the industry, but at this price point we'd have to question whether anyone would bother. Users do not complain about immediate failures, and there are no comments, positive or negative, about Case Logic customer service.

Features: Great price, users say, but the bag may not last as long.

The affordable $35 estimated price tag of the Case Logic DLBP Laptop Backpack is attractive to a number of users, though most agree it will not last as long as some other, more expensive bags.

Bottom Line: A well-designed bag for a good price.

The Case Logic DLBP Laptop Backpack may not be the bag you're carrying 25 years from now, but its attractive, thoughtful design will likely woo you over for the price.
