Not what's pictured, but a good bag

Ok, if you are wanting the bag pictured.... contact the seller.  After talking to them, sounds like a true mishap.... the same picture got put on two sites.  They can tell you what bag to order to get the pouches on it.  Now, I decided to keep the bag.  I did because, after thinking about it, I wasn't in dead set need of the waist strap pouches.  Yes, they would have been nice, but alas, I have other options.  A SERPA attached to the strap solved my problem.  Now for the bag itself....

GREAT BAG!  I had a 5.11 Rush 72 knock-off.  And I had a LOT in it.  I got this one because it looked sturdier and better arranged but also got the Explorer Deployment Bag by Explorer to go with it thinking that I would need the extra space.  I WAS WRONG!  I put everything in it, even the stuff I had strapped to the outside of the old bag, and had room to spare!!  When you get it, you look at some of the small pouches they've put on this thing and think, what would you use that for!!!  Well, they work!  I was surprised how I could put things around this bag.  Now, I'm Retired Army, I've done many trips across the pond and let me tell ya.... If I'd had this then, getting to things in a cramped HUMMVEE would have been much easier.  You will like this bag.  And for the price, you won't be disappointed.

I received a green bag instead of the black one described by the listing. I've noticed other comments about receiving the wrong color as well.

Otherwise I am pleased with the bag and the initial quality seems good.

This bag did not come as described aesthetically. The Pentax logo was on the bottom horizontally placed instead of in the middle vertically as shown in the photo. Also, the bag came with two, hideous gray nylon accents across the face of the bag that really cheapened the bag's appearance. The compartments are exactly as shown which is good, because it has great space that is adjustable and I am able to get all my lenses and camera body placed perfectly. The bag is also well made and good quality. To resolve the issues I had design-wise with the bag, I removed the nylon accents with a seam ripper and sewed the bag back together at the seams. Looks perfect now as if it was designed that way. Also, I ended up trading my Pentax Kr for a Nikon D7000 and removed the Pentax logo with a seam ripper and purchased a nice Nikon embroidered patch for a perfectly mated DSLR bag. Now I love it!

This backpack works really good as a laptop carrier, and you could also carry the cords, etc, but it's not nearly as big as it looks in the photo.  In the photo it looks as if it could double as a school backpack, and it couldn't.  That's not a drawback for *me*, but I just want to make that clear to a potential buyer. Aside from that, it's very well made, sturdy, and comfortable. It's also a nice alternative to the all too common messenger bag if that's not your style.

It's convenient, commodious, and cool. It's a nifty bag and I use it almost everyday.
The pictures somehow led me to believe that the inside color is different from the one outside. I was
looking forward to a dual-colored bag. Turned out beige on the inside and as well as the outside. Slightly disappointed. But it's a great bag for the price.

The bag in the picture is pink, but they sent me a blue one.  We weren't happy, but too much to send it back and no one responded, so we are stuck with a solid blue one.  The bag is useful to hold stuff, smaller than a previous one my sister has.  Wish it was the colored I ordered.  The picture is deceiving!

I would have rated this higher, but images on amazon were not what the style for this bag actually was.  The Carbon Full-Cycle Twill has images with brown trim, greenish bag color and a brown timbuk2 logo.  The bag I received has black trim, and the timbuk2 logo is red.  I was dissapointed to look at the timbuk2 website to see that the Carbon Full-Cycle Twill was actually the color scheme I received, not what amazon advertised.  Otherwise, this bag rocks

More black that the image looks, but it is still a beautiful bag

Bag is exactly what I waned as far as Specs go, but the picture AMAZON has up is a Purple Plaid when in fact it is BROWN/GREY AND BLACK. AMAZON needs to put a proper picture up so someone else doesn't order it thinking one thing and receiving another. NEVER EVER HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE WITH AMAZON. The One Star rating is for amazon not the bag. the bag gets 4 stars.

The bag itself is great - excellent quality, and a lot of room to hold everything.  However the Amazon picture shows a blue/orange plaid bag.  The bag that arrived is black/rust colored - not at all what I wanted.  In reading through some other reviews (which I neglected to do before ordering), others have had the same experience.  Returning it.

What I got was a different bag but from the same manufacturer.  I was more than a bit disappointed after waiting on delayed shipping also but I needed the bag and the guitar fit so I'll keep it. For the price, it's ok but not at all as described ...just not the bag I ordered!

The shipping was fast, which I appreciate - but the bag I received doesn't look like the picture. It doesn't have the black & brown colors that you see in the image; it is just a solid, flat black color. It's very small, which I expected - but for a small handbag like this, I really purchased it for the dimension and style, and I'm not happy with it. It's okay enough to use but it wasn't want I wanted.

It doesn't come looking like the purse in the picture , but it is still a pretty purse that's why it gets three stars

In the picture, it looks like there's a plastic trashcan insert. When mine arrived I did a double take at the picture and realized that it's actually just a cleverly photographed plastic bag.

I like this bag, it's stylish and I use it as a purse to carry my essential items plus even a large water canteen. It is a pretty small bag, so it's not really for school use, but it's perfect for me when I go walk around the city or even when I go hiking.
BUT there are some differences between the real product and the one I recieved. The first thing I noticed was that the bag trims has more of an "orange" color rather than dark brown. And the brand is not Bei Bao Bao, but Wanyu. The logo has some weird gibberish english that doesn't make sense. The lining inside the bag is also different, mine is just brown. While these things aren't a big deal, and I still like the bag, I just felt a little cheated because I felt like I got a weird knock-off.

Don't get me wrong, I really really like this bag, BUT it is not as streamlined as it appears to be in the picture.  The bag is WIDER.  MUCH WIDER and the top bits flare out and don't fold in smartly like they do above.  The many pockets are wonderful and can store a multitude of items.  I can find everything that I am looking for quickly and it meets the needs of my OCDish organization much to the entertainment and benefit of those on my tennis teams.  The bag is lightweight and sturdily built... with the exception of the straps.  For $98 I wish Maggie Mather had used a higher quality, aka thicker, strap.  They tend to fold a bit which I find annoying.  The color, as someone else mentioned is more grey green than blue gray.  Hmmm... now it sounds like I don't like this bag... but I DO!!  It works great as a carry-on for the plane too!  c.

As others have said, the bag is bigger than it looks. I haven't tried it out just yet, but it seems to be durable. I was able to fit a 15" laptop inside without a problem. Do note that it doesn't seem to have anything to hold the drawstrings, so you'll have to tie them or make your own stopper.
The bag I received from the seller I bought from was very much like the picture, however the inside was red/orange material. I expected as much being shipped from China, so I don't mind. I'll update this review once I'm able to use the backpack.
