Does this bag stand up on it's own? Meaning is it somewhat rigid on the sides?

My sons bag seems to have a bit of rigidity. The fabric is thick and good quality.

It's not really rigid on the sides, but there is a hard insert on the bottom. If it was completely full it would stand up like the picture, but the sides have no hard support.

Yes it will stand up on its own, but is a little top heavy. I would remove the mirror or attach the strap lower if possible.

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. I plan on getting a backpack.

It stands fine on its own. I haven't had any problems so far and I'm not expecting any problems soon.

The snaps are surprisingly rigid. As long as you have them completey closed they will remain closed. I have used this bag for over a year now and have never had any issues.

As per my husband, yes the bag can stand straight up and can access tools without much trouble when laid back. Only issue is that the bag pulls shoulders back creating strain in the back

Sides are not stiff, so it won't stand up if empty. I love it though, it stands up well on my vanity top and it's flexible for packing in luggage vs a hard sided case. And I love the pretty purple flower design.

It extends long enough to have it at a 45 degree angle. The bag does not roll like some luggage does standing up if that's what your thinking.

It is totally rigid; does not fold up when not in use. If clothes are hanging on the rack, there is a only narrow path to enter the room.

Yes! These bags do stand on their own and keep their shape well. I still get compliments from the baggers at the grocery regarding these bags. I even use these bags for non-cold items because they are so great about standing and keeping their shape.

The top and bottom of bag seem to be, but the sides are not insulated. Just hard plastic inserts on sides to give it rigidity, inside the nylon sides.

We like this bag. We have several for storing etc. Personal preference. Have others also that are not soft. Depending on what you have room for. We don't have a lot of room so soft sides work best for us. Hope this helps.

This bag does stand up by itself. I amalways carrying around books and folders for work. I definitely love how this bag stays standing up and I can reach in and grab a book I need. It's a very good size too.

yes, sort of, it's still soft and not stiff like paper bag, but it stands ok.

No it does not stand up right but the material/fabric is strong. I am very happy with this bag and I travel a lot.

It stands on its own just fine. We are very pleased with the bag and its capacity.
