Will this bag protect my investment? If I drop it, kick it, smack it into a desk wall?

Your investment being a tablet or laptop, maybe not. It's got some padding inside, but not enough all around. What you could do is drop your device into a sleeve and then pack that into this messenger bag. The handle/strap is very sturdy. My kid carries at least 10 to 12 pounds in it daily. He has also used it to lug his Xbox system back and forth to visit family.

If your investment is a Laptop. Then the answer is NO. It will keep it dry and has ample storge space for also carrying books. It is very rugged and tough. It is made of canvas so it is strong but its not padded very well.

The jute/canvas bag is protective enough. Since I bought this product, I've left it in the bag and just placed it in my pantry; with no additional care/worries.

It's padded leather, so a small drop would be ok, corners are covered, its not a armored case or anything, more of a fine leather feel

Hi Sharon -- The bag material is pretty thin, but I am finding it to be rather durable. It should be able to handle the TKD gear in pretty good shape. I'm happy with the bag thus far.

It depends on where the weight bags are packed. Mine came pretty poorly packed and I chose to repacked it keep the weight in the middle and center from top to bottom so mine is fine for kicking. Some people chose to put half of the weight at the bottom, but its preference.Btw, 100lbs in this size bag is very dense to kick. I would suggest a full length MMA bag for better versatility and more appropriate weight distribution over this one.

I would get a protective case for it. I have mine in a case logic zipper case and keep it in my backpack that goes everywhere with me. Haven't had any issues so far.

No. I suppose if you loaded the bag with something very bulky, it might, but in over a year of use I have not had any problem.

I recommend something much more padded. If dropped it will not protect your computer. It is more for looks than anything. Hope that helps.

Absolutely! that's actually exactly what I use it for. It protects it very well and the bag it's self is very light and durable.

If he punched it nonstop for from now until 2020 that may be possible but other than that no. The worst I've gotten is a bit of "rug burn" from grazing the side of the bag while going a little crazy on it. I also have a pair of cheaper boxing gloves I wear though just for a little added weight and better workout, no problems at all with those on.

I'm at about the year mark now. Thanks to your question, I just examined my bag's major stress points and seams and everything looks as good as new. I regularly load up the bag as my mobile office (big 17" laptop, files, books, etc) which comes to about 20 lbs. Thanks for the question, it makes me feel good knowing how well it's held up given the price I paid !

Not really. There is no difference INSIDE the bag based on punching or kicking. However, the size of the bag will dictate if "punches only" is a better idea. If its smaller and lighter, then kicks aren't going to be great on it. Also, to practice low kicks, you need a long bag, like a Muay Thai or "banana" bag.

It appears to be well padded and the laptop is secure. Because it is a lighter bag, you are probably less likely to drop it; I've dropped others in the past because they were heavy. I haven't dropped this one yet so I don't know for sure.

I don't know for sure, but I feel the chances are good that it would crack. Guess it really depends on just how it fell. I carry mine in a leather case, also. Good luck

Seeing how I have yet to drop the Laptop (Convertible?), I don't know. My impress is that it will prevent it from shattering, but not from cracks itself. It is a scratch for sure though. Just don't drop the laptop and you will be fine.

It is. It's kinda thin though. Neg: I've dropped bag on the "corner" and my laptop got a little damaged. Pos: A friend accidentally kicked the bag (the part that goes on against your back where the laptop goes) and the laptop came out unscathed. I would buy it again though.
