Comments on: Vaja iFLIP Review http://the-gadgeteer.com/2001/01/08/vaja_iflip_review/ Gadget reviews and news by Julie Strietelmeier and friends since 1997 Fri, 25 May 2012 13:15:30 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: maverick http://the-gadgeteer.com/2001/01/08/vaja_iflip_review/comment-page-1/#comment-14530 maverick Thu, 08 Apr 2004 06:15:43 +0000 #comment-14530 i received my smart alec, outfitted with a size 4 monolith and a freudian slip this week, and i am absolutely thrilled with it. i am using it to carry my apple powerbook 15" (aluminum). i had some concerns about the bag when i first received it -- about the padding in the shoulder straps and the back, but after using it for a couple of days, i find it very comfortable to carry. the size 4 monolith provides a tight fit for my powerbook, and i hope that future revisions of this product will be modified to accommodate the larger aluminum powerbook design. and i do wish that the main zipper extended down the length of the smart alec to provide easier access to the gear at the bottom of the pack. overall, an excellent backpack. i have not looked at solutions from other online vendors like booq, spire, and waterfield -- the smart alec sounded better than the solutions from these other companies. and the smart alec is better than anything i've seen in the stores from brenthaven, tumi, incase, or briggs & riley. maverick i received my smart alec, outfitted with a size 4 monolith and a freudian slip this week, and i am absolutely thrilled with it. i am using it to carry my apple powerbook 15″ (aluminum).

overall, an excellent backpack. i have not looked at solutions from other online vendors like booq, spire, and waterfield — the smart alec sounded better than the solutions from these other companies. and the smart alec is better than anything i’ve seen in the stores from brenthaven, tumi, incase, or briggs & riley.

I've been shopping around for a bullet-proof bag for my laptop and before I read this review I was 90% sure that this bag was it - and now I'm probably going to get it. One worrying detail...I didn't realize how much room the monolith takes up. I am a student with plenty of books to carry around. That overhead photo makes it look like my chem text book would never fit in there.:x Great job on this review.
