Onyx 132-17

Hi Everki, I am reluctant to use other brand names, but in this circumstance find it helps you understand my perspective. I have and continue to have a great experience with Tumi. i went from a tumi roller back pack to a leather one because the rollers took too much room and weight. i switched from a leather tumi to a ballastic nylon flip top becuse i needed a little more room. now with more electronics and work paraphernalia. the Tumi simply didnt work as it is geared too much towards travel than for everyday use. for me Everki was an unknown name. my search for a daily use business/2-3 day travel back pack started with 28 brands to review. the search was narrowed down to 4 then 2 then Everki. I have had the business backpack for two weeks and am very happy with it. there are many additional pockets to put items such as ear buds and chargers cables and adaptors, plus the hard eyeglass case is great. the contrasting interior colour lets me distinguish between items. one tipping point for me and my last bag is that my wallet is similar size to a lap top transformer. i thought i had my wallet when i did not, which caused undo stress. now with everkis specialized side pocket for wallets and passports, it has eliminated my misplacement of important items in some cavernous pocket. the lap top section is well thought out, and easy to use with a handy corner strap to keep the device in place. also the bag is squared and not pear shaped so it doesn't always fall over when you put it down. i haven't had it long enough to test how rain proof it is, but it has handled the snow well. so far it has exceeded my expectations. it is a great value to the dollar. i use all the straps and carrying handles, and the pouches on each side I've used for water, epi pens and even brought a roll of tin (aluminum) foil home. this is a great daily work back pack that I could use for maybe up to 2 nights as a travel carry on. the pockets and storage points are clever. it is comfortable to wear and the strap design lets you sling it over one shoulder. I may not want to recommend this pack too highly as i don't want to see everyone with one. as it is distinctive well made and unique. another positive is receiving the bag within two days of ordering it on a Sunday afternoon.

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.

Replaced an older Everki that I have had for a long time - it has been all over the world. Have had some wear and tear but overall has held up well. Does not have the ability to slde over the handle of luggage which is a huge advantage for me as I am getting older and have some mobility isssues.

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.

The ONYX 132-17 is amazing, great quality

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.

I've only used the back pack for 3 weeks. I travel every week and have always used Tumi. This time I made the switch, not as expensive but just as good if not better. I love how the inside is orange, so you can know for sure what you have unzipped. It holds, my 2 laptops, and ipad, notebook...and all the personal crap that you need the space for in all the little zipper pockets on the inside and outside. I love, it stands straight up when you set it down, does not fall over. All the pockets with zippers is easily accessibly. I especially like the unzipped deep pocket in front - when going thru TSA after show ID I can just stash my ID and cell into that front deep pocket - awesome for travel!! Also love the litte-ish hidden pocket that's RFID - I have a little zipped note book where I keep passport, cash if needed if wallet lost...etc. Also have my vac-card there now. Just in case.

Overall it's an awesome backpack - not bad at all to swing it on my one shoulder and lug it around with all above packed. My only gripe... The two side zipper pockets. I really have not found a good use for them. The one that's to hole a water bottle or such, is a complete pain, I don't use it anymore. Would be much better just to have an open unzipped side pocket to stash soda, water, or your own bottle.

Overall I love it, and will look to EVERKI again when I need to purchase travel-work bags, backpacks...etc.

Thank you!

The best backpack that I have ever owned, multiple laptops are not a problem, very spacious and functional.

First let me say this bag is awesome and looks very professional. If you are questioning the cost, it is completely worth it. You get what you pay for. They put a lot of thought into this bag and the quality. I upgraded from another Everki bag and their customer service is fantastic. Daniel O. is fantastic and helped me through everything. Top notch products and customer service what more can you ask for. Keep up the good work Everki!

This is the backpack! The build of this backpack is just fabulous - great padding, sturdy materials, solid zippers. This backpack is for the professional business traveler - it looks amazing and plenty of organization. This is a serious contender if you were considering one of the Tumi backpacks. The quality is up to par plus I just love that the TSA approved pocket is a standard feature at Everki. I was a bit skeptical prior to ordering but oh did this bag impress. Worth every penny and a superior built of their other lines (which are also great - but this one is worth the extra money)
