I bought this backpack to carry my books and laptop for college.  After about three months, the material on the inner pockets tore because the material inside is really cheap and flimsy. My inner pocket has almost torn completely off, and the divider between the main compartment and laptop has a deep tear where the seams are!  If you by this bag, don't expect it to last more than a year.  Now my zippers aren't working properly.  The other day, the main pocket burst open while I was walking between classes, and all the contents spilled onto the ground.  Mind you, I only carry my laptop a 2 inch binder and 1 subject notebook on most days.  I'd suggest investing a bit more money for something far more durable, like Swiss Gear.  This backpack is NOT worth it unless you want something disposable.
