Everki Versa Premium Checkpoint Friendly Laptop Backpack for 14.1-Inch MacBook Pro 15 (EKP127)

Practically perfect in every way is the phrase that comes to mind when describing the Everki Versa Premium. I researched backpacks extensively and ended up ordering the Versa earlier this month (after returning a bag from another vendor that I thought would meet my needs but didn't.) I've used it locally for the last week but today got to travel with it. All I can say is that this is an incredibly well-thought out bag that also looks good, is compact, and is well made. Here's what stands out:Everything has a place and is easy to get to: Separate felt lined pocket for iPhone and accessories. Hard shell space for glasses and sunglasses. Easy to get to felt-lined pockets (2) for laptop and for iPad/Kindle/tablet. Fold out, easy access compartment for files, books, papers, with pockets for laptop battery pack and other electronics. Easy to reach zipper mesh area for money, medicines, small items, passport - whatever you want to keep handy but don't want to lose in the bottom of a compartment. An outside pocket for pens, pencils, business cards, etc. Two side pockets for electronic cords, miscellaneous items and ample room for a water bottle provide a place for anything else you might want to carry. And, to top it off, an invisible pocket with a magnetic closure for itineraries, tickets, food bars or anything else that you want to easily reach without fumbling with a zipper. To make it all even easier, the orange interior means finding items is a piece of cake.The clamshell "Checkpoint Friendly" design makes it super simple to get through the security line: No more extra bin and unloading and loading of the laptop and Kindle. Just pull the zippers to that compartment down, lay it out flat, and let it go - no problems. At the other end the two handles provide a quick way to pick it up without any chance of anything falling out and puts it into position to quickly close the zippers and walk off.The construction is solid and well made: This is one of the only bags I found with ample protection at the bottom of the bag to protect my laptop. There are reinforced corners to keep the bottom of the laptop protected should it slip off of your shoulder or get set down a little too hard. The zippers are large and are easily opened and closed. The material is water repellent and thick. I can't imagine it ever ripping or getting soaked. The felt linings are a nice touch to keep your electronics shiny and scratch free. It fits easily and securely over a roller bag handle for those times when you don't want to carry it by the handle or on your back.Looks good: If you don't like the looks of the shoulder straps you can simply fold them behind the sleeve that fits over the roller bag handle to keep them out of the way. The dimensions are more compact than the vast majority of school backpacks - so you don't look like you are lugging an extra suitcase around and the orange inside is a nice contrast to the all black exterior. The sides are sturdy so the bag stands up with you set it down and it holds its shape resulting in a more professional look.This is a stellar bag but let's face it - it can't be perfect (only practically perfect.) Here's what I wish I could change: It is a heavier bag than most, clocking in at about 4 pounds when empty. No doubt this is from the heavier fabrics and materials used but it is noticeable - unless you are rolling it on top of your roller bag in which case it is a non-issue. The side pockets have zippers that seem like they could open up another inch or so at the top. I don't know why Everki didn't extend the zippers to the edge of the pocket. This would be a nice change as access would be a little easier. Fortunately, those pockets don't get used much. The key clip is a great idea but it should be moved to the other side pocket and the clip should be less tight. It is hard to put a key ring into the tight clip and the hanging keys take up too much space to use with a water bottle. This problem is solved by moving the water bottle to the other pocket (the elastic cord to secure the throat of the bottle isn't really needed.) I also ended up putting my keys in a handy little stretch pocket inside the hard shell sunglass pocket - this keeps them easily accessible and avoids any chance of them scratching the glasses. I'd also replace the flat leather handles with a rubberized handle that is more form fitting when cradled in your hand. That's it, that's all I can come up with in terms of drawbacks - nothing that really presents a problem for the typical business traveler.I highly recommend this backpack.

I wanted a new backpack for business travel. My old $30 "Swiss Knife" backpack was adaquate, but soft and floppy and things just ended up getting burried inside the all black liner. It held everything, but not much organization. Plus, no water bottle holder on the side pockets.Picking a back pack on line is very difficult. I ended up doing a "best business backpack" Google search and ended up with several alternatives, all available on Amazon. The Everki videos were really helpful in understanding the features of each back pack. As were the individual reviews. I'm not going to describe this back pack in detail. Just go to the product description and watch the video. It's very detailed and accurate.As to what I usually carry:15" HP laptopiPad ProZag keyboard for iPadVarious chargers and connectorsOne or two legal padsAudio head setsPensWork BadgesSun GlassesKindle2nd work phoneThis back pack holds everything in an organized fashion. Once you remember where you stuck something, it's easy to find. The hard sunglasses compartment on top is great for glasses and phone Bluetooth earpiece. The magnetic flap front pocket fits my kindle, making it easy to get to. The side pocket for the water bottle and key holder is very convenient. The TSA checkpoint feature works really nice (although I don't really need it since I have Pre Check). The ballistic nylon construction is very nice and seems like it will last a long time. All the inside compartments are soft, flourescent orange making finding loose stuff in dim light very easy.As for the Cons, I suppose I could knock off half a star for a couple of small gripes.Price. When I ordered this (for next day delivery) it was $173. The day it was delivered I saw the price had dropped $50 on Amazon. I contacted Amazon and got the price adjustment. $125 is still a nice chunk of money, but certainly nothing near the almost $500 price tag of the equivalent Tumi backpack (which I was very close to buying). But as I said, I'm very happy with the quality and functionality.Might be a bit small: Although I get everything in this back pack, I'm not sure how much room is left if I wanted to put a change of clothes in for a 1-day trip. There is still some room to expand, but it doesn't appear to be much. Everki does have a larger pack (The Titan), but that might be too big.Only has a spot for 2 pens. I'd prefer one or two more (just a nit)Fits my laptop ok, but the iPad Pro is a bit big for the tablet compartment. The Velcro retaining strap doesn't really fit with the iPad Pro. Not a huge deal.If I had the time and energy, I'd return this and try out some of the other Everki packs to see if they are "more perfect". But it's not worth the time. This one is very good and I'd recommend it

Excelente calidad

Hard to handle the $$$ but there was none better than this for a 2017 MacBook Pro

Superb quality!You get what you pay for. Have traveled numerous times since purchase is great when travelling through airports. Great also for everyday work/laptop bag.Not too big in size either, quite compact for several electronic devices along with any documents/folder you may have. Main compartment does allow for small clothing items or a lunchbox type container.This is in no way like a sports back pack as all compartments have been designed for a particular use, so you can't just stuff it with random items as it is not built that way. It is best used if it is NOT stuffed, however it still does well when the situation occurs and you want carry nothing and want (reasonably) everything in your back pack.
