Glad I chose the STM Scout
Knowing I would be using this bag to protect my new MBP, and would be taking it everywhere with me, I spent a lot of time searching for the right one. Some of the things I was considering in my search were:Perfect fit for a "15 MBP. And this medium sized Scout bag is! It's not a snug fit, but it doesn't need to be with the velcro flap containing it. I could probably fit a normal sized magazine in the laptop compartment along with the MBP.A medium sized bag. I didn't want anything huge and bulky, but I still wanted space for other computer accessories and/or daily carry items (wallet, phone, the option to conceal my gun inside of it, etc.). Well as the product title suggest, this bag is a medium sized bag, which fits the bill perfectly. So far it has been able to accommodate anything I've ever needed to carry in it.Looks were a factor. There are so many other companies out there with a gigantic logo stamped on the front, or some kind of wacky color scheme. The STM Scout is very subtle. This one in particular is a nice neutral color, and only has one small logo in the corner of the cover flap. I don't feel embarrassed coming into work with this, "business casual" looking shoulder bag.Of course I also wanted it to provide plenty of protection for my laptop. It's it's done that so far although I wouldn't feel too confident of the laptop safety if I dropped it on one of the corners. That's not what I need though. I just wanted something to slip the laptop in to protect from scratches, liquids, and a few bumps here and there. It's performed this task perfectly.An added bonus was that It travels very well through airports! I've taken this on at least 5 trips so far and it holds up nicely. It's great going through security with it because it's very easy to access the laptop and remove from the bag so it can go through the scanner. As you can see in some of the pictures it has a nice feature where a pocket in the back unzips and you can slide the handle of your luggage through. This was nice, but I think I only used it once. I normally have papers in there and don't want them to get messed up. I'm sure others could get a lost of use out of that feature though.Probably one of the things I like the most is the shoulder strap. The padding is great, but most importantly, the strap swivels 360 degrees so no matter how twisted it gets when you throw it over your shoulder, you can easily twist the ends around until they've smoothed out.I bought mine in October of 2012 and the bag has held up great until recently. The buckle on the cover flap is a type of plastic and a part of it broke and I can no longer buckle it in. I can still use the bag, but the cover just flaps around now. I just sent STM an e-mail about it so I'm waiting to hear back. I'll update this post on how it was handled. If for some reason it can't be replaced, I'll adjust the rating accordingly.--UPDATE--So I filled out a repair request on STM's website which was very easy to do, and to my satisfaction, they had no problem sending a replacement part completely free of charge! They were also very quick to do so. I still highly recommend this laptop bag for a 15" MBP, and I will continue to use mine.

great work bag
I purchased this bag to go to and from work. It is light weight, holds my Macbook pro and iPad and chargers. The only thing that could make this bag better is to have velcro or flaps on the two small pockets to secure pens and small items in one and the computer accessories in the other.

Great bag, MacBook user
Great Bag. The manufacturer is amazing. Had this product for a while now and at one point I broke the clip. Company sent me a new one in the mail with not problem... I'm considering upgrading and getting a back pack from them. I use this to carry around my Macbook and the cushion inside keeps me from freaking out anytime someone bumps into me in the subway. The shoulder strap is really comfy. It's pockets are perfect and I always have more than enough space for all my junk, pens, pads and files.

very dissapointing
They were late. They said its ok to return. When i had it refurned to sender they said they complied within the time frame. Now the bag is missing and they wont refund my money. Its decieving because they said it would arrive in 3 days. The problem was they only sent it out 2 days later after i made payment for expedite shipping. This is my first time to buy on ebags. I wont do it again. Im so dissapointed. I give a minus 5 star if that rating is an option.

This has a nice laptop compartment
This has a nice laptop compartment, but it lacks closed compartments to secure my valuables. It has a small zipper compartment, but it's not large enough for most of my stuffs.

Like it
Use this daily to haul my college books, notebooks, ipad, supplies, and a keyboard around. Plenty of room, well made, no issues at all with it.

One of the best laptop bags.
I got a bigger MAC Pro and my old bag was too small.Wanted the exact same as I currently have but bigger hence my purchase.After many years I feel with the STM bags I have found my perfect laptop bags with lots of pockets for cables, chargers etc.I use it most days and my previous bag has worn very well over the last three years.

Very good looking bag
The only thing that I dislike, but it's not really a problem, is the notebook compartment.It is does protect the notebook very well but, at the same time, if you have a thin notebook (Retina display for example) you end up wasting space, because this compartment has fixed width.Not a deal breaker tho... I would recommend it anyway.

Very good stuff
It is a very good daily bag for going to work.The shoulder straps' plastic attachments are doing the job but I would perefer something different. They seem to me kind of weak and somhow turnig all the time in the wrong direction.Otherwise it is a highly recommended nicely krafted bag.

Good bag, poor customer service
The bag is fine, but the buckle broke after a few months. I've contacted the vendor twice about getting a replacement buckle under the guarantee, but no reply.

Muy útil para uso diario
Llevo un mes aproximadamente con esta mochila y de momento estoy encantado con ella, es muy cómoda para el uso diario, con varios bolsillos en los que poder guardar cosas y buena protección en la zona donde se guarda el portátil, yo he llegado a llevar 2 (uno de 13" y uno de 15") sin problema.
