if this item is a rolling briefcase, why are the reviews for a backpack?

Amazon, you need to separate these out. I read a ton of bad reviews, and when I looked, most were for the backpack.

I see why. When you click it it has three different types XL Backpack, XL carrying case, and XL Rolling case. Many of the people bought the backpack which is great. I assume the rolling case is just as durable. I have the backpack and I love it, it works great durable, big and it provides good back support. I assume the rolling case is good. I hope this helps

It's a two strap backpack that has a zipper on the straps to create one strap. When it's zipped it acts like a purse not a sling.

It's not really meant to be portable. It's rigid and a bulky item for carrying. Maybe in a large backpack, but not in a thinner attache type case.

It has a nylon strap across the back designed for exactly that purpose! There is also a small piece of velcro in the center of the strap to hold the strap to the case to prevent it from sliding around on the rolling suitcase.

It does not work like a back pack. The one I bought has a shoulder strap to carry like a computer bag and wheels to roll like a carry on bag. If you are looking for a backpack type computer bag I would look at a different option. Have a great day. J

keep in mind this bag does not have wheels. the bag itself carries a TON, but think about if you are willing to carry all of your belongings around on your back or on your arm for your trip. i have retired this bag and lent it to people who are more capable of carrying(instead of rolling) heavy bags because i simply don't have the strength to do so myself.

I have the backpack and am able to keep extra bottles, wipes, the tubes/horns, and the small bag with the ice pack but that's it. Even though it holds a good amount of stuff I got annoyed lugging it, my purse, and my lunch box into work everyday and just started leaving it at work. Now I just have to bring the tote holding the milk in my lunchbox & I'm set. For comfort I would agree that a backpack would be better than a shoulder sling bag.

It's heavier than a regular bag, mine is starting to tear after a year of use, but I use it daily. It also saves energy being able to roll it instead of carrying it. I would also add that I would buy this bag again.

It does hold its shape ok fine with just misc. stuff in it. The one in the pic has been stuffed with a box. I know it does not stand on its own even with my laptop in it. It really is a laptop bag, though, and the pockets are set up for such. Three partitioned areas for laptop, iPad, Intuos pad etc. Then a couple of misc. small pockets and another large open area where I throw the power cord and misc. cabling. One more quick-access compartment(again... really big) that you can get to without opening the flap. Nice enough bg for the price, just not as versatile as I thought it would be.

The bag is roomy enough to hold a small laptop however it would offer the laptop virtually no protection since there is no sleeve and the material on the bag is designed to be lightweight and thin. Also the bag will pull on your back a significant amount since it's not designed to carry a heavy load. The straps feel like they are great quality so I don't think they would rip or anything like that but it may not be comfortable to carry for long distances. I don't think this is a great bag for a laptop as it is not designed for one but could it carry a laptop probably, could it carry a laptop comfortably and safely probably not.

It's deeper than a briefcase in my opinion - it's more of a laptop bag type of depth so that you have some extra space for the cords and such. There's essentially 3 slots on the inside. I have enough room for my laptop, a couple folio books and my chargers and accessories. Then the front adds a couple more inches. When you keep it on the roller, that adds to it as well. I'd say edge to edge when it's on the wheels, you're looking at about 12-14" front to back.

Hi, I love this bag purely for its looks, and not for its practicality. It has two straps and one carrying handle. The bag is only suitable for a small guitar, and I ended up buying a parlour guitar solely so that I could use the bag as my regular guitar was to big by far. It doesn't provide much protection, and is more a dust cover that a gig bag. Having said that, it was what I was looking for in that it is entirely different from the usual, and I love it for what it is. However, there is no doubt that it has limited use, I wouldn't trust it for going in the overhead locker when flying etc.. It's a shame that it wasn't an altogether bigger and sturdier bag and if I found one that was, I would buy that instead, as I never really feel safe taking my guitar out. Hope this helps.

Not sure how they compare, I was looking for one to handle a 17" pc, that looked like a tote instead of a briefcase and was inexpensive

It's more of a protection from scratch and dust, rather than maybe a fall. Padding is quite thick. From experience, I carried my laptop in this case inside a backpack for a long-haul flight (USA to KL) and they survived. I hope this helps :)

It's filled. I believe they used to sell it in filled and that's why you're seeing those reviews. Get the bag, it's good quality. I love mine!

Sure, it's portable. Might take up room and may need to be secured. Wouldn't be ideal for a slim briefcase.

I do NOT own this particular bag.I'm surprised to see my old review I made on another product, "Vivitar DKS-18 Photo/SLR/Laptop Sling Backpack (Black) by Vivitar" found here on another product that I never reviewed. I studied the photos and I see some clear differences such as the memory card pocket and the location of the tripod holder.However, as far as I see, this bag you are inquiring about seem to be a bit "smaller" or just "as big" as my Vivitar bag. I've taken my Vivitar bag to both international and domestic flights as a carry-on with no problem. Sorry, that is all I can say.Good luck!
