 Just AwesomeFeb 12, 2010
By SouthPhillyPT
"Smart Shopper"
This Timbuk2 messenger bag fits netbooks and has a built-in sleeve. If you plan to bring your netbook all the time, you can place it in the built-in sleeve without the need to buy a separate sleeve. The messenger bag is large enough for the power adapter and other small peripherals. It is an excellent work bag, as well as, an everyday bag for school. Overall, the bag looks and feels sturdy. Great design.

 Timbuk2 website sizing is incorrectNov 16, 2010
By M. Brandon Eley
Before buying this bag I went to the official Timbuk2 website and got the internal laptop compartment sizes to make sure it would fit my new 11" MacBook Air. When it came in, I was surprised to find out that it would NOT fit my Air. It BARELY fits an iPad, and the Air is slightly wider.
DO NOT buy this bag if you are looking for a case for the 11" MacBook Air. It's extremely well made, and I'm looking at getting another Timbuk2 bag, but this will simply not fit an Air of any kind.

Awesome for the iPadMay 07, 2010
By Michael Brown
This bag fits the iPad perfectly. It's as durable as any Timbuk2 bag and looks great. It's nice to be able to take this on my morning bike commute rather than my larger timbuk2 and it stays in place despite the smaller size.

Setting the record straightOct 28, 2011
By Musings
I was excited to find that Timbuk2, one of my favorite companies had answered the call for a bag to house a tablet. I was dismayed by some of the reviews I'd been reading and will admit I was a little skeptical when I purchased this. Some of the points that bothered others didn't seem like a big deal to me, but on the other hand I was spending a fair amount for this and needed it to work. I needed a smaller sized bag that I could use as a purse but would fit my iPad while in its case (by the way, best case ever: Pad and Quill's Contega). Having used my Timbuk2 Metro (boo to them for discontinuing it - the Click just isn't the same) constantly and been exceedingly impressed with the quality and attention to detail (I "discovered" an entirely new pocket a whole year after I purchased it and it was like Christmas I tell you!), I was definitely willing to give Timbuk2's iPad solution a shot. So this review is for any of you who may have read other reviews and want a little clarification on issues that others have brought up.
1. Does it fit the iPad? The padded pocket does fit a naked iPad as others have mentioned. It will not fit one in a case. This is great if you just need to pop it into your bag on the go. BUT (here's the part that that's been left out by others) the area between the back of the padded insert and the back of the bag fits a covered iPad perfectly. And really, who needs to put the iPad in the padded part when it already has a cover/protection on it?
2. The padded shoulder strap is too stiff, making carrying the bag comfortably nearly impossible. True again. This sucker is meant to be broken in. And in another 5 years when you are still using it and it is molded to your body, you and Timbuk2 will be happy not to have a phone conversation complaining that it broke. BUT (again this is usually left out by the naysayers) it's removable! Yep, the wonders of Velcro, my friends.
3. The strap is too short. A couple of factors play into this. One is that it is an exceedingly thick strap 2+ inches) which can make it seem shorter than it is. The other is of course that strap length is personal preference. I like my cross body bags to fall at my hip. This one is a smidge on the short side for my 5'9" frame, but it means that it just feels a little more secure and close to my body than I am used to. I'm fairly sure that I'll be able to adapt (just in case that didn't read as sarcasm, let me assure you it was - if I can't adapt to that, I've got bigger issues).
So why am I giving it only four stars? Well, just because I am putting this up to my vision of the perfect bag... Absolutely perfect. And since I have Timbuk2's Metro, they have spoiled me and there are three little amenities that I wish the Freestyle had. So tiny, but so handy: a pocket on the side of the outside of the bag - 'cause I've gotten used to putting my cell phone there and it's wicked handy for grabbing it on the go. And a mesh pocket on the side of the inside of the bag because it's perfect for holding upright things like a bottle of water. Oh, and a couple pen seperaters wouldn't go amiss either (I haven't completely made the transition into the paperless age quite yet).
Overall, I'm psyched. Amazing quality. Great design. Worth every penny.

Fits iPad2 and ALL (and I mean all) accessories.Apr 28, 2011
By Elise J.
"Elise"
I read every review I could about this bag before I bought it... and never really knew if once it arrived it would fit ALL of the accessories I have for my iPad.
Most noteably - it fits the iPad2 in a snug, soft, protective slot... BUT, there is room for the bluetooth keyboard (THIS is what I couldn't tell from the specs, the reviews, and the comments)...
Let me tell you what I have in my bag RIGHT NOW - I tried to pack it as if I was going to demo EVERY FEATURE this iPad2 has to offer:
1. the iPad 2.
2. the blue tooth keyboard
3. the ipad dock
4. my Classic ipod & two pairs of earbuds
5. the VGA adapter
6. the HDMI adapter
7. a 6' rolled up HDMI cable.
8. a 6' rolled up audio male-to-male cable
9. an ipad SD & USB adapter
10. a Seatle Sports waterproof cover (kind of like a BIG conductive and thick ziplock bag)
11. an extra screen protector and a microfiber cloth
12. a bulky set of keys
13. my blackberry (grr.... who needs that... just for work!)
14. money
15. my Umbra wallet/credit card bungie style thing
16. a bag of cough drops
17. 2 packs of gum
18. a 7" ipad stylus
19. a 3.5" Pocket knife (folded)
20. other misc. stuff like small usb drives, RSA token, blah blah blah...
The bag is full, but not overstuffed.
Normally, I wouldn't travel with the HDMI cable and audio cable, so without those two bulky items, the bag would be really compact.
One 6'+ tall person complained that the strap is too short..... I would echo that sentiment, and I'm only 5'3". What were they thinking?
Other than that - THIS IS THE GREATEST BAG FOR AN IPAD OWNER! Just so you know, I also bought the Small Timbuk2 D-Lux Messenger: Race Stripe Bag because I really didn't think that all of the above would fit in this XS bag. I was wrong. Don't get me wrong, I'm going to use that other bag for my work laptop - since I HAVE to lug that beast around... but both bags are well made, beautiful, and super strong. Strap is long enough on the Small D-Lux bag!
