Onyx 132-17

This is the bag I've been looking for. I had an older Everki model ten years ago and it was great... I traveled all over the world with it. I stopped traveling for a while and then recently found myself in the market for a new bag. I looked all around, trying lots of different manufacturers, but in the end I came back to Everki and specifically the Onyx. This bag is an upgrade from everything else I tried, and over the old bag too. The orange interior makes it super-easy to find things. It sits upright better, and the double handles on top keep it upright. There are TONS of pockets and access points, but just the right ones - for example the magnetic clasp pocket is great for quick access to chargers. And the built-in glasses case! Really just everything I would want in a bag, all in one place.

Love that the main compartment has room for a 16" MacBook Pro AND a 12" iPad Pro, and the secondary compartment still has plenty of room for books or a change of clothes. This is a super usable and super well-built backpack.

Fantastic business backpack! I bought this to fly/walk to work with and it is just what I was after. The top 'sunglass' pocket is really handy for quick access to keys, airpods, glasses, wallet etc, and the internal space for laptop/ipad storage is well padded and large enough for my Toshiba Tecra 15.6" laptop. The quick access magnet-closure front pocket is really handy for boarding passes and bits of paper you need to access quickly and easily, and the internal 'luggage' space has plenty of room for a pair of shoes, over-ear headphones, cables, water bottle, umbrella etc. My only mild concern is the side pockets - they're pretty small and won't really fit any average-sized reusable water bottle. Good for other stuff, but not a decent bottle. Other than that, I'm thrilled with the quality and functionality. Not a cheap backpack, but I still think it's great value - does exactly what I bought it for.

This perfectly designed backpack is ruined by horribly design straps. The backpack itself is the best I found and I love it so much I’ve tried to find someone that will so new straps onto it for me. The straps it ships with are an odd c shape that push all the weight of the backpack to the outside of your shoulder. If you try to carry it with one strap, it immediately falls off the outside of your shoulder. When you carry it with two straps it tries to fall off of both shoulders. I’ve owned five or six business backpacks and have never experienced such uncomfortable, un-functional, and aggregating straps as these. As much as I love the functionality of the bag, I have to suggest you run the other direction based on the design of the straps.

Great bag great quality

I purchased an earlier version of the product I recently purchased from you guys on Sept 2016. The reason I decided to replace the product is because one of the zippers became detached from the fabric and My choice was to replace the whole product (which is what I did) or try to get someone to repair the damaged backpack which would mean I would have zero backpack for a time which I did not want to do. I originally decided to purchase your product because I thought it might be indestructible AND because it has a brightly colored interior which makes locating objects a lot easier. Well, it was NOT indestructible, but it did last for a long while. The new one is OK but I miss the interior webbing on an interior zip pocket which is a big benefit because one can see through the webbing. I wish you had retained the webbing. I customized both products by attaching a sling type strap which is faster and more comfortable than the 2 smaller shoulder straps. The product is better than any other I know but could still be improved by getting it to last longer, adding interior see through webbing materiel, and offering a sling strap version. It is also very expensive. I'm lucky I can afford it

First, I'd like to mention how amazing the EVERKI team is. I needed to make a change to my order. Their service in handling it was fantastic.

In terms of the bag itself, the design is near perfection. Every piece of organization is so well-thought-out. It is every bit as good as the marketing materials. No brand has better designs.

The reason I gave it 4 stars, rather than 5, is the workmanship. For a nearly $300 bag, I was a bit disappointed in the quality when I unpacked the bag. The materials are good, not great. The stitching appears to be poor. My last two bags were from Aer and Waterfield Designs. The EVERKI bag did not appear to be not on the same level.

If the bag holds up over time, then the quality concerns are unfounded. I hope to edit my review as I get more time with the bag.

I purchased the Onyx 132 to replace my Everki Versa. The Onyx is more professional looking and has more volume even though it isn't noticeably bigger. I really like the main compartment as it is bigger than the Versa. It can hold more documents without them folding. Also, it can hold both a notebook and headphones case. I also think that the shoulder strap is a noticeable improvement. It is wider and more comfortable to sling over one shoulder. Finally, I like the wider open pocket in the front which is better suited for magazines or a newspaper. Apart from those three differences, it is the same excellent Everki quality and organization where everything has its place.

I received my backpack a few days ago and I'm already in love. The quality of the material, zippers and thoughtfulness of the layout leave nothing to be desired. It has enough room for my laptop, access., notebook and travel necessities for my service dog. My only disappointment is that there are two specific places where the zipper seems to bump and stop slightly over the inside seam. It's much more obvious when the bag is empty and it can be avoided by pulling outward a little bit when opening. It's not a huge issue but over time it could cause problems. However, when I called customer service to see how to exchange it the options were limited: I send the bag back for up to 2 weeks before I receive another one or I buy another bag to be sent while I return this one. I need this bag as I am traveling and I don't have another one to use and I don't really have the excess money laying around to buy another bag and then wait for the refund on the second bag. So I guess I will continue to use it and hope for the best.

I love everything about this backpack except for the handles. They are small, thin, uncomfortable to hold and unrefined…almost feel like an afterthought. Underwhelming for a pack at this price point.
