Just the perfect backpack - simple, functional, durable.
By Lee on Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2024
Kudos to whoever is in charge to choose or design stuff for Amazon Basics. Minimalist engineering at its best - I meant that in the best way. Simple and functional design, not too many useless pockets and compartments. Just enough sturdiness and structure, not too structured not too limp. Size is just right for books and laptops. Right size for gym, right size for work. Easy to clean, just throw it in the washing machine. Pretty durable too: I had one from 2017 and I use it to workout outdoors, four times a week it gets thrown around in mud, gravel, I use it sometimes as a pad for my knees, elbows, head.Please do not change the design.

Horrible seams, will quickly fall apart
By Amazon Customer on Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2020
Man I love this backpack, this is the perfect size for college, and has a mid size sleeve to put a tablet or 13 in laptop in. The side pockets are Velcro so it’s very easy to put in your keys or phone without worrying about if it’ll fall out or if someone will steal it. Hard to fit a water bottle larger than 16oz. Straps are ok for me because I drive to school, I don’t have to carry the weight for long periods of time, but if you’re commuting through bus or train, the weight will give you a aching back and shoulders. DESPITE ALL THESE PROS, the stitching connecting the straps to the body of the bag is HORRIBLE. I’ve owned this for 2 week and already the weight of my binder, iPad, pencil case, folder with loose paper, and miscellaneous items is causing the seams to loosen up. The bag is great, but the seams are too cheap for my preference. The cloth attached to the zippers is also fraying. I wouldn’t mind these issues IF I owned the bag for at least a year or so, but it’s ONLY BEEN 2 WEEKS. yup, the caps are necessary lol.
