Love this bag. The indigo color is really upscale. The build quality is exceptional. Size is perfect and holds just the right amount of stuff. If you're a pack rat and need to travel with the kitchen sink, this bag isn't for you. But if you just travel with the essentials, this is great.

The quality seems to be really good. It also looks stylish. It can be used for both professional meetings as well as casual meetings.

Pretty impressive laptop/notebook bag. has plenty of small slots for folders, notes, etc, and the look is semi-professional. The laptop compartment is padded which is crucial. Strap is sturdy seatbelt material. My only gripe is shipping - it took 10 days to 'process' and 13 days total to arrive. When I inquired to customer service I was told depts are closed during holidays and should resume on 10/16/17. The only holiday during that time was 10/9/17 - one week before that. So apparently they take off a week for Columbus day?? When it finally shipped it only took a few days from NJ to GA. But man, what a BS response.

I got this on sale, it was basically a steal for this briefcase. I wouldnt recomment it if you carry lots of stuff around with you everywhere, but it's perfect for a thin laptop, a few papers, and laptop accessories. I think it looks nice too, and strikes that balance where it looks professional enough to bring to business meetings but casual enough for a weekend trip. Would recommend, especially if you can get it on sale.

I love this bag because it is simple, has a lot of pockets for a table, phone, headphones. It is very durable and as nice cushioning. Has a big section on the back of the bag for documents.I have received compliments based on its design and look. Looks good with and without strap.

Plenty of room for my 14" Flex 5 and charger and mouse - nice pockets inside zippered section as well as under the external flap.

I carry a laptop case to and from work daily. I even pack around to other sites occasionally during the work day. This is as compact a case that I can afford to use. It does work well with my 15 in laptop and the extended life bulky battery. The quality is awesome and the pockets are many. My last case had a roomier front outside pocket that I kinda miss. But that is the give and take you deal with having slimmer case. I would recommend this case if the size fits your needs.

Descriptive title but it describes just that--an essential to have working as a young professional. Love the quality of strap and material. I feel safe with it strapped to my body (my back) as I use the shoulder strap while on a bike and use public transport to get around in a small city. It's a nice bag that I get complimented on it once in a while in hipster coffee shops. Glad I made the purchase. Personally, I like it most when I do not carry more than 5-7 lbs. worth of load as I like to commute more lightweight and green while making my way to a local coffee shop on a bike. I can add a comfortable 1-2 lbs. more when I decide to carry it and not use the shoulder strap. I can only say good things about this bag. Only 4 star because the blue on the picture of advertisement of the bag is misleading, I liked the washed blue/steel-ish color on the bag but the color in person leans more to the color of dark blue/navy blue side. Other than that, I still love this bag. I use it every day. Now I just wonder if the material color will last the beating sun.

This is exactly as advertised, and just as it looks. It was an excellent value for what I paid. With a normal laptop, and any papers at all, it is a very tight fit. There is not any additional space at all.

I searched long and hard for a professional looking briefcase / laptop bag. Nothing on Amazon came close to this for quality and price. Pictures are true. Interior of bag is impressive. Great feel and look.

This really is a great bag. I'm a bag addict and have had too many (so says my wife). This is a good size for 15 inch laptops that really is designed to stay slim. It almost forces you not to go too big. Easy to put on your roller as well. Two areas of feedback that I see as a recurring on reviews. 1) the buckle and 2) the strap. On the buckle, it's a bit tough but not bad. If you could put more slack on it you could carry more but I view this as part of what forces you to be minimal. Otherwise this wouldn't be a slim bag. The second is on strap which is seatbelt-like with not pad. it's really perfect for an a cross-body carry, which then requires the bag be packed light. Overall, the strap isn't an issue if you don't overpack and doing just carry single-shoulder. I think this is a great bad with great pocket positioning. Strongly endorse.

Couldn't be happier wth the quality of this briefcase. I bought it on sale, which made it to good to pass up. It's comfortable, has all the right pockets, and makes a great briefcase for a graduate student to working professional.

This is a great, slim, laptop & accessory bag. Functional and it looks great too! Shipping was fast as well.

Pros: • thin, lightweight, • many pockets and sleeves inside the main compartment • looks unassuming, yet professional. It doesn't look cheap and the product seems well made Cons: • locking hook on the front compartment may not be for everyone • could be more minimalist without the logo patched on the front

Bag was a nice size... but had a very odd chemical smell that never faded.

It's a very nice bag for what I paid. Definitely doesn't hold as much as my last one, but other reviews mentioned that. Fits my 15" dell nicely. I just need to filter out a lot of the other junk I carried with my other one (multiple headphones, power supplies, etc.). I got them all in there, but it's so crammed, digging around to find anything is a struggle and usually requires removal of stuff.

Great product

Very slim and lightweight. Great quality!
Great Messenger/Briefcase
By Patrick P.
The quality is wonderful and it can hold a LOT. I currently have my headphones+ case, battery pack, Nintendo Switch, iPad, Laptop, and spare contacts in the main compartment. Although, that much makes the front compartment harder to use but it still works just fine!
The Collins Slim Brief is a versatile laptop bag with a crossbody design that lets you wear your bag as a messenger or briefcase and allows quick access to all of your devices. A spacious interior features independent cushioned compartments to secure a laptop up to 15" as well as an iPad or tablet. Additional interior pockets organize your cables, accessories and other small electronic devices. Lightweight, protective and functional, the Collins Slim Brief is the perfect companion for daily travel.
HDF Protection System
The patent-pending HDF Protection System is a lightweight cradle system that wraps devices in a layer of high density foam and suspends devices in a u-shaped cradle within the bag or sleeve. Brenthaven designers observed that devices are most vulnerable to damage when they come in contact with floors, tables, or other hard surfaces while being set down or accidentally dropped. The HDF Protection System solves for that vulnerability by enveloping the device in padded foam and creating as much space as possible between the device and the bottom of the bag or sleeve.
