XDDesign Bobby XL 17" Anti-Theft Laptop Backpack with USB Port (Unisex Bag)

I've had the backpack about 6 months, taken it around the globe, and am very pleased. From a security perspective, it's very good. When worn, there are no exposed zippers, so pick pockets are out of luck. The bag looks great and I have received several compliments and people asking the brand and where to get it. It will sit up straight when placed on a flat surface. I use it daily for work and it has held up well.No bag is perfect. My only two issues have not detracted from my enjoyment. No regrets!- The elastic for the internal pockets has worn a bit but still work for me.- The pen / pencil holders just don't work well for me as the pens will slip out. I've tried Fischer space pens with clips, regular ball points, and mechanical pencils.I'm still giving it 5 stars as I would buy it again without hesitation.Hey XD Design - Think about making a camera bag for full sized DSLRs with a telephoto Lens!

The real downside is zipping it up is kind of a hassle but I can understand it due to it's security features. It will fit a 17 inch alienware but just barely. Also althou the bag seems huge there's not a ton of room for putting things in the middle after adding a laptop. So if you have a small laptop and maybe a tablet plus some cores it's perfect. Just don't expect to make it a bag to carry books or anything too bulky. I basically fit a laptop, mouse, controller , a few cords and if I wanted to really squeeze a headset I probably could. Also theres actually a false bottom to protect the laptop huge plus.

I like that this backpack is secure and also fits my 17" laptop. I take it with me on trips where I need my laptop and gear, whether locally or internationally. I wish there were more colors available in this size, but I do like the one I got (grey and black).

Quite simply the finest backpack I have owned!I am a road warrior, executive, and professional nerd. Gaming backpacks while packed with features do NOT play well on location with clients or in business settings. I went on a quest and ended up with this bag. I have used it for a few months and recommended it at LEAST a few dozen times.I have a MASSIVE 17" gaming laptop, 12.9" iPad 3rd Gen, 30k mAh battery, headset, mouse, notebooks, etc.This bag was snowed on in Denver, rained on in Chicago, and I laughed off a pickpocket in NYC, got compliments by Hollywood types visiting where I live in Austin.Secure. Supremely functional. Gorgeous. Supremely affordable.

This bag looks really nice. I wish it were a little roomier and easier to get into, but it will work well for traveling in cities which is why I bought it

Just took our first trip with this bag. My husband loves the organization of it, everything has its own little pocket. We used it at Universal studios and it was great! He would throw it on backwards to get something out of it while we were walking. For most of the attractions they make you put your things in a locker. The small lockers are free but if you need a bigger locker you have to pay. This backpack is so slim, it fits in a small locker. It poured on us a couple times while we were there. This did okay with keeping things inside dry but it is definitely not completely waterproof. Overall a great bag

I got two of these for my boys for Christmas. They are perfect to carry their stuff on interviews and will be great when they have jobs. I just bought a third as a graduation gift for same reason. It's grown up and stylish. They don't look your going to school. Its great for young men to carry their stuff for interviews and jobs

Recieved the backpack today. Very nice looking and clean. It fits a 17.3 inch laptop, but very tight. Along with the laptop, I can fit a case of headphones, a calculator, an xbox controller, a power bank, a long laptop changing cable, and 3-4 notebooks. Anything more than that would be pushing the limits. I love it so far, very comfortable, now we will see how well it holds up.*After a year of having the backpack, wearing it 2-5 times a week, it has held up very well. No rips or tears anywhere on the backpack. The only minor thing was that the usb port came out, so now I just have to open the backpack to reach the usb port. Strongly recommend this backpack to everyone.*

(updated since)I was sceptical at first when buying this bag, as to whether or not it would live up to the reviews XD Design have had. Let me tell you, it does! To make it simple, I've listed the Pros and Cons below:PROS:- The bag is very lightweight and when packed, the bag positions the weight against the centre of your back and in a way that your core and shoulders support it properly, meaning your bag doesn't sag and you don't ache from carrying it all day.- The main feature, anti theft, works. Several times friends have tried to get in to my bag while I wear it, but they cannot without alerting me to it. Seriously, the bag goes nicely against the bag that the zippers cannot be seen!- The charging port and area for bower bank is really handy! I usually keep my charging cable in the little pocket next to the external socket for easy access. But it actually works very well. You can just about fit the Anker 20100 power bank in the slot for power banks in the bag (highly recommend this massive charger!)- Internally, the little compartments are extremely handy for sorting out your daily things for easy access. There's 2 bits of strong elastic, one smaller to hold a drinks bottle or umbrella, and one bigger one to hold 2 water bottles or a book etc. The laptop and tablet compartments work fine for me, however my 15" HP Omen Gaming Laptop just about fits snugly in there. So not too sure about a 17" Laptop...- The waterproofing works. I know because of the recent heavy rain I happened to get stuck out in... everything stayed dry inside the bag. You could even see on the material where the water droplets were sitting on top, as the water could not penetrate the material! And easy just to wipe off quickly!- The luggage strap is very handy and seems fairly durable. Time will tell!CONS:Well, there are none currently. There may be in an update in the future after a few months of use, but so far I have no issues with this bag. It is well worth the purchase!UPDATE MAY 2020The bag is still in the same sort of condition it was when I bought it, and I have been using it every day for commuting (up until the lockdown). There is 1 scuff but otherwise it's in perfect nick! The charging port still works fine and not had any issues there.I have found the size of the bag can sometimes be a tad small if I want to take a laptop around (my laptop is a 17" gaming laptop and is big) I can't fit much else in it. But that might be because I rush pack and don't take time to make the necessary space.I still highly recommend this bag! It's made me confident that my stuff is safe which it has been! Especially when I went on holiday and I could hide my passport and phone away!

I first bought the 15" version of this backpack and loved it so much that I got the 17" version too, which I now use regularly for work (the 15" backpack I use on weekends). I really like the design - it's spacious AND comfortable - as sometimes spacious means putting a lot in but then it hurts your back. I can't use shoulder bags as the weight isn't evenly distributed, yet I've ended up with lower back pain with other back packs. Not in the Bobby's case, as since using it that pain has now gone and the weight feels comfortable and lighter, even though I've got more in the bag. Thanks again XD Design!

I’ve enjoyed using this for the last couple of years. It fits a lot in it, enough for my university needs (laptop + ipad + notebooks + pens etc.) My only gripe would be the price, but when you consider the durability (waterproof and very tough material), the security, the functionality, the comfort (its very comfy and easy to wear/adjust), and even just the modern vibe, I can look past the price tag. For this reason it probably wouldn’t be the go to for everyone, since you can get cheaper options that will simply carry your goods and nothing more, but if you can afford it and if you think it’ll benefit you, then this is a great choice.

The first time that this bag was ordered, the courier company messed up and the bag was returned to XD Design. They were very helpful and reshipped and it arrived promptly and safely. The bag is great because somehow the design ensures that the weight is held comfortably higher up the back, not downwards and backwards like most laptop bags. The little pocket on the strap that holds for instance a train ticket is great because it can be accessed quickly and easily without taking off the whole bag. I would definitely recommend XD Design and this bag in particular

The bag is slick, stylish and modern looking, garnered a few complements for it's techy look.Zip is well obscured when walking around with it.It is quite compact however so not ideal for fitting all the things I normally take around e.g gym clothes, laptop, lunch box, books... If I buy miscellaneous items of shopping like a carton of milk the bag would already be too full.Seems fairly water proof so far.
