I have been looking for a laptop bag high and low and had no luck finding something that would be of great quality without being too expensive. And I have to sayβ¦..itβs not an easy task, but I need to have my computer protected whenever I take it for a ride.
While looking in a couple different search engines the name O Yikes came up a few times, so I decided to see what they have to offer and I have to say that I loved their Messenger X Bag the minute I saw it and as I was reading about the bagβs features, I knew I had found the bag I was looking for.
The O Yikes messenger X Bag. The bag is a perfect travel shoulder bag which is very roomy so you can carry all your essentials and in my case the laptop bag that I have been looking for!
The O Yikes! Messenger X is what people on the go have been waiting for. The travel shoulder bag is durable, water resistant, and functional with multiple compartments and pockets making it easy to keep organized. The front compartment is ideal for carrying your travel documents from your passport and subway schedule to your airline tickets. The adjustable seat belt nylon strap makes it easy to carry your travel shoulder bag across your chest or over your shoulder. The travel shoulder bag provides an extra 2β expansion to pack those once in a lifetime travel finds. Not only is the travel shoulder bag attractive, the Messenger X is also the ideal laptop travel bag. The travel shoulder bag comes in two sizes to safely protect your 15.4β or 17β notebook.
Even though my computer is a 15.4β I decided to get the bigger size for this review so if DH ever needed to borrow it he could still keep his 17β laptop in the bag.
As soon as I received the bag that O Yikes so kindly provided for this review, I knew I was right about the bag which is even roomier than I had expected. We were going to spend the night over at my SIL, and I was able to fit my laptop, DHβs laptop, and some folders with material for some reviews I had to work on, my cell phone and my semi- professional camera which by the way I kept inside the matching Accessory Case inside the bag.
After putting all this inside the bag, I still had some room available, the bag is just awesome. Now a little advice, remember how I said I got the bigger size to SHARE with my husband? All I have to say is that I have not been able to use the bag ever since he got his hands on it! And it is the computer bag that he takes to work every day and he loves itβ¦β¦YAY lucky me:(.
This is the bag features in case I forgot to mention something:
β’ Keep everything in the travel shoulder bag in place with the large main compartments, and many internal and external pockets.
β’ Have your electronic accessories within arms reach with our hidden double pocket.
β’ Keep your keys in one place with our brushed aluminum key ring.
β’ Immediately access drinks in an exterior bottle holder with a drawstring closure.
β’ 2β expansion provides additional space.
β’ Adjustable wide nylon seat belt strap to wear over your shoulder or across your chest.
β’ Carry files, folders, and magazines in the back folder pocket.
β’ Padded laptop pocket to protect your 15.4β or 17βlaptop.
β’ Messenger X is available in two sizes.
β’ Medium Messenger X designed to protect up to a 15.4β laptop.
β’ Back compartment 12″h x 15″w x 4″d ~ Front compartment 8″h x 10.5″w x 1.5″d ~ Internal measurement 11.75βh x 14.75βw x 3.75βd
β’ Large Messenger X designed to protect up to a 17β laptop.
β’ Back compartment 12.5″h x 17″w x 4″d ~ Front compartment 8″h x 11″w x 1.5″d ~ Internal measurement 12.25βh x 16.75βw x 3.75βd
