I have had four other briefcases before this and this is the best because it is light and not too bulky, but it can expand alot when you stuff it. I took it on a trip to spain with the matching 22 inch upright carry-on suitcase (see my other testimonial on that one), and it works great with that. You can put the handle up through the flap on the back and carry them together, or you can strap it on the back of the suitcase (I prefer the latter, it balances the load perfectly and it is easier to take off everytime you go through security). The strap is comfortable and the bag lays nice and flat when it only has my computer in it. Looks great too!

There are a few things that I don''''t like, however. And those things make me think that the bag is overpriced. Here are the negatives: the leather spots in the rain, and the spots haven''''t gone away on mine. They aren''''t all that noticeable, but for this amount of money I expect my leather to be treated to be more weatherproof. The bag does not have an interior zipper comparment for coins. It is set up with card slots and a place for bills, but no place for coins. They fly out unless you buy a coin purse. It does not lie flush with your back, when you are wearing it as a backpack. This makes it seem to stick out just a bit and seems just a little bit awkward. These are very small complaints and overall this is a very nice bag. But when you spend this amount on a purse, we get to be picky.

The hottest packs from the hottest name in the biz. We''''ve got ''''em all here in the JanSport Shop! New from Tignanello. "South Hampton" Group. Fresh shapes, soft leather. Designed with valuable input from Pilots, Flight Attendants, and Ramp workers, the new eCrew22 is built for the Professional traveler. Rugged ballistic nylon at a great low price! Companion Tote for eCrew22 Upright. This is a great briefcase. It''''s smaller than most laptop briefcases, yet it still has plenty of room for things like a power supply, cables, Palm accessories, notepads and books. It piggybacks well on the matching carryon, and the two won''''t fall over when you leave them standing up. I like it better than the one my company gave me, and I carry it all the time. Oh yeah, and its cheaper than most other bags but still twice as good. Ok, I''''m biased because I work for the company, but I love the eCrew line. I use the tote as a computer briefcase every day, and it is perfect. I use a computer sleeve to protect my laptop, which is not included but you can buy one (search for computer sleeve).
