Having spent quite some time looking for a good messenger bag for my 11.6" netbook, I came across this. 140+ reviews with an average 4.5 stars. Looking through them I saw no real bad points so I decided to buy it. It arrived and first impressions were good - looked and felt well made, looked as compact as I was expecting, but had FAR more compartments/storage than I thought possible for a bag designed for ~12" netbooks, and the main compartment seemed more than adequately padded so I felt secure at having a £250 netbook in it.
But, alas... it's rendered useless with it's absurdly short shoulder strap! It is a thin black strap, not at all padded like you see in the picture (i believe the padded strap is only for 15"+ versions) and even adjusted fully, it looks and feels like a handbag when I have it over my shoulder - it's just nowhere near long enough and I feel awkward due to it. I don't understand it - why didn't belkin add more strap than necessary since it's adjustable? Give people more than enough length to cover all bases - I mean adding an extra 10-15" of strap would add pennies to the production cost and would be suitable for both tall or short, big or thin people.
It is an absolutely brilliant little bag and it would have been absolutely perfect for me - would never have imagined a bag could come with such a short strap to render it practically useless though. Such a pity - have arranged a return and now in the process of searching for another bag, but whatever I find I will feel slightly left down, simply because of how fantastic this bag COULD have been had the strap been of adequate length.
PS. A couple of reviews mention the strap not quite being long enough, but seems i'm the first for it to be this big of an issue, so it could just be im used to longer straps on bags and this is a normal length, but it just doesnt look or feel like it to me.

The bag is great! Perfect for the purpose stated, (I was given a Dell Mini Inspiron 10 for Christmas - 10" Netbook) plus plenty of room and compartments inside and outside for all the extras that come with these so called `portable' bits of technology. The netbook compartment is thickly padded with a brushed nylon inner to protect and a velcro strap to secure. It's light blue on the inside, making it easier to see things too. Plus a double zip that you can open at the top, side, wherever you want. As an alternative use, it would make a great flight bag as it's lightweight and would hold all those irritating bits of paper that we need these days for online check in, plus passport, money, insurance details, and possibly even a sandwich! I'd happily use it for a funky everyday handbag as well.
I'm more than happy with the purchase and the supplier BUT........ on a descriptive note, I have to agree with the other reviewers in that the material is NOT NEOPRENE, instead, a heavy duty nylon polyester, and the strap is different (not pale blue AND brown - brown only) . If one scrolls down on the web page where this bag is listed, to the product details, it does say material 100% polyester with no mention of neoprene but the photo does clearly show a neoprene fabric with a blue/brown strap. So, if neoprene and a bi-colour strap is important to you, be aware!
Personally, it doesn't bother me. Given the choice I would much rather have the nylon material as it looks and feels robust and I don't particularly like neoprene. IMHO neoprene material gets snagged, goes bobbly,and looks and feels nasty and a plain brown strap is probably more classy and less likely to clash with one's outfit (lol) .
I think what may have happened is that a) OfficeEtc have used the same photo and description for all sizes of this style of Belkin bag or b) Belkin have changed the specifications and OfficeEtc have not amended their details. In this respect OfficeEtc need to smarten up their act and check the accuracy of their descriptions and photographs a little more.
Delivery took 2 weeks from ordering and was delivered on a Sunday! As this was my first order from OfficeEtc I don't know if the delay was down to the terrible winter weather we've had, (ordered 4 January, delivered 17 January and it came from Jersey), but I wasn't in a hurry so it wasn't an issue and I would rather have saved a fair amount of money. If someone was in desperate need, however, the possible delivery time might be worth considering.
