Customer Reviews:
Wonderful bag for an iPad By Aleksandr Kalininskiy
I use an iPad every single day to take notes in class, read journal articles, watch movies, etc. If I'm out of the house, the iPad is with me. So i wanted to get a stylish carrying bag for it and bought this scout.
After using it for 2 weeks I'm very happy with the bag and would recommend it to others provided that you don't expect it to carry your textbooks or other bulky items. Here is what fits in mine comfortably (though anything more and it does start bulging):
-iPad with the Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard cover
-Small notepad (large model of the moleskin notebook)
-2 pens, 2 highlighters, iPad stylus
-keys
-iphone / cellphone
-iPad charger, headphones
-misc. thin papers and wallet
If this is all you need, then you'll be fine. If you expect to carry tons of 8.5x11 notebooks or textbooks in this look elsewhere.
This bag has a ton of pros:
-great canvas material
-very lightweight
-rotating hinges on the strap so it never gets tangled (I love this feature)
-lots of little pockets
-iPad space is padded absurdly well, you'll never break your tablet
-strap itself is very comfortable
-great olive color
-gets you compliments (I've gotten a few since carrying this)
-you look like a hipster mobile warrior (this could be a minus...)
-the ipad pocket has a separate velcro closing mechanism, and there is a separate zippered pocket that I use for headphones
-there is a large pocket in the back that is always open which I use for pieces of paper people give me
Cons:
-hinges are plastic, but seem pretty sturdy
-the padding on the strap is a little inflexible, but maybe that will change with time
In conclusion, get this bag as a mobile iPad carrier along with vital items like pens, keys, wallet and phone. Don't expect to use it for anything else larger except maybe a small notepad. It's durable, attractive, light and makes carrying my iPad safer and more attractive.for an urban warrior? By J. Aranda
I'm not really sure where to start here, so I guess I'll begin with a list. People like lists, right?
Pros:
Fits a 10.1" netbook, AND a small tablet (a kindle touch, in my case).
Barely fits an 11.6" netbook (it sticks out by 1.5", so the internal velcro flap can't be secured).
Lots of organizational options, and the front-most pouch expands pretty far.
Stiff padding and soft lining in the main section, to protect expensive screens.
Sturdy material and seams everywhere.
Very easily adjustable strap length--I can do it one handed.
Swivels at each strap-end, so twists are easy to manage.
Cons:
Shoulder pad is a bit stiff.
The front flap doesn't like to lay flush if there's even the slightest bit of expansion in the front pouch;
this makes the corners poke up and completely ruin the slick aesthetic of the bag.
If you're traveling with any medium sized gadgets (smartphones, game consoles, makeup compact, etc.) the front portion gets very cluttered, and the organizational bits become difficult to use.
Doesn't quite fit 11.6" devices (specifically what I bought it for).
I use this bag on a daily basis. This might be an understatement, as I literally take it everywhere. Regular cargo consists of an 11.6" netbook, a kindle touch, a small notepad, three pens, and two usb cables. It has room for far more than that though. Today I'm also carrying two pair of headphones, a large gaming mouse (Logitech G700), and a compact umbrella. It also carries an ipod, bluetooth headphones, GBA SP/DS Lite, spare laptop battery/charger, bike tools, and small food items on a semi-regular basis.
This bag isn't going to fit the kitchen sink, but with careful planning the Scout will more than handle the necessities of most urban excursions.
The only changes I would even dream of making are a slightly taller version, to fit larger devices; an optional strap-pouch for easy access to a smartphone or ipod; and optional/modular cylinder storage on the sides for things like umbrellas, water bottles, and camera lenses.
Most of these features are available in other STM products, and the latter is an accessory I'm considering making for myself, so as a whole I'm very pleased with the product.Ipad has a happy place By Alexander H Solla
There is nothing remarkable about this bad, nor anything extraneous. It is purely functional, and does that job well.
It could be another 2 inches longer, and then it would hold my logitech keyboard better, but I cant complain since that isnt what it was made for.
