I must admit that I am VERY disappointed with the LOCK on this rather expensive attache. The case opened twice on me (once at the airport) when I thought it was locked! It is a cheap lock for such an otherwise good case. I would NOT buy this again or recommend it to anyone. Attractive, durable, good amount of space (can fit laptop in it) looks very futurisitc,007 style. Comfortable handle, well balanced. Attractive looking for a Woman to carry! (US Luggage briefcase). It is very nice to have one bag for both the laptop computer and office materials/folders.It could use an extra pocket to store the ac adapter but it is otherwise perfect. Samsonite Business Cases. Zero Halliburton. U.S. Luggage Business Cases. Travelpro. I find this bag very useful for staying organized while I ride the commuter train daily. I was able to give up carrying a pocketbook when commuting and just carry this 1 bag. I do all kinds of paperwork on the train, so this really helps to separate business and personal files, etc.

I have had four other briefcases before this and this is the best because it is light and not too bulky, but it can expand alot when you stuff it. I took it on a trip to spain with the matching 22 inch upright carry-on suitcase (see my other testimonial on that one), and it works great with that. You can put the handle up through the flap on the back and carry them together, or you can strap it on the back of the suitcase (I prefer the latter, it balances the load perfectly and it is easier to take off everytime you go through security). The strap is comfortable and the bag lays nice and flat when it only has my computer in it. Looks great too!

This bag has some good design ideas, and some poor ones. I love the idea of access to the open area (sandwiched between the two zippered compartments). It''''s a perfect place for cell phone and keys. But the Velcro does NOT hold the open compartment closed. And because the handle is attached to the back wall of the bag, the weight of the contents make the bag lop-sided when you hold it by the handle. The bag slips onto the shoulders very easily, and the bag rides very comfortably on your back. Someday these bag designers are going to remember to attach the handles at the center of the bag, but as the size of the bag is perfect, I''''ve got my local cobbler designing a fix for the Velcro problem. And I''''ll live with the weight and balance problem, because obviously, most of the time the bag is either on my back or on my shoulder.
