It's either a cheap chinese clone, or targus's quality has really gone down hill. The build quality is pathetic and very cheap. It is so disappointing that a backpack which was beautiful and incredibly durable and strong has been made so cheap to cut ...  Read More

    That being said its got its drawbacks


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The material around the zippers is not firm so it takes a good deal of effort to pull up most of the zippers as the bag around it gets pulled up and the zipper requires more pulling
