Manufacturer's Description
With a unique design, the Belkin 15-inch Messenger Bag (dove/peony) protects your computer and offers a large storage capacity while maintaining a small and light footprint, making it convenient and comfortable to carry. A fully padded compartment can hold up to a 15.4-inch computer and keeps it isolated and safe from bumps and scratches. A separate, removable pouch holds power adapters and cables.

The bag is made of a high-quality 100-percent polyester fabric that is durable and weatherproof, and features contrasting colours for an elegant look.

Attention to detail can be seen in the headphone cord grommet and the zippers that have molded, easy-to-grip pulls that match the color of the bag. An innovative shoulder strap has a thin design that contours to your shoulder for exceptional comfort without any extra bulk. The Belkin 15-inch Messenger Bag is backed by Belkin's Lifetime Warranty.

Customer Reviews

Good value, well designed notebook case
This notebook case ticks all the boxes when it comes to design, construction, and value. The only design improvement I would recommend is the addition of a rubber base - the English weather being what it is. The interior has enough pockets and zips to ensure items won't fall out when you open the bag, and not so many that you have to spend 5 minutes trying to find where you stowed them. The plush lining also means there's no need to buy an additional neoprene liner. My only significant gripe is that Belkin only offers half the choice of colours here in the UK than is available in the US. There's just no excuse for this given the size of the UK market, and it doesn't make sense for a company the size of Belkin to limit its own sales potential. But all in all a great value notebook case that doesn't look like it came from a pound shop.

Good sturdy bag with lots of pockets
Got this laptop bag for a friend (pink's not really my colour). She's chuffed with it and it matches her pink Dell laptop.
It does seem well padded and its almost tempting to drop it just to demonstrate how well it protects the laptop inside.
The slot for the laptop is quite snug so it won't rattle around or chafe up against the odd ballpoint pen thrown in with it. There is also a bit of room for a couple of small books or a few cd cases in the main part of the bag, and this is divided off from the laptop with soft padded fabric.
In addition to this there is a pocket on the outside which is just right for a wireless mouse, usb drives and possibly the power cable.
My only complaint is that the picture makes the bag look pink all over, whereas the area that appears light pink is actually beige (or was on mine). Otherwise this is an excellent practical buy and the colouring makes it a bit more individual than the usual black.

Bags of value and bags of class!
I was a little nervous about buying this bag, as some reviews for the 15" Belkin bags in other colours said that they were too small for a 15.4" laptop. However, I was seduced by the girly colour, and having received it I am glad that I am so shallow. It's lovely!
The bag itself is a beigey-grey colour with a fabulous pink contrast. It is well constructed of sturdy canvas with secure stitching. The main compartment has a padded velour pocket for your laptop. My Sony Vaio (15.4") fits perfectly - snug enough to stay in place and not slide around in transit, but not too snug to get it in and out easily. There is a removeable padded velour base in this pocket which would give another 1/4" depth if your laptop is a little larger than the Viao, with very little compromise of protection. The main compartment also houses a shallow zipped pocket along its full length (approx 2" deep), two pen pockets, two credit/ID card pockets and two pockets large enough for notebooks/CDs/mobile. There is also a large pocket big enough for an A4 pad or maybe even a clipboard (if you're that anal). A separate matching pouch holds the wirey bits for your computer, so that they don't get tangled or scratch anything else in the bag (or of course you could put your make-up in it). Exernally there are three further pockets (one velcro-ed and two zipped). The larger zipped one contains a mini pocket for a mobile or an iPod. If you have the latter in there, a rubberised exit hole allows you to put the headphones in and listen while you walk! The strap is broad and comfortable, but there is also a briefcase-type handle if you prefer.
This bag is extremely good value for the money, even with the four quid postage. I looked these bags up on other suppliers' websites and they varied between £26 and £36! How's that for a bargain!
My one criticism (and it's minor, and not worth deleting a star) is that there are no little feet on it which would have helped to keep the bag clean (especially important with such light colour). I think if you stuffed all the pockets full it would be pretty bulgey, so you'll have to exercise a little self-control. But there's loads of stylish room here, folks.
