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.

The ONYX 132-17 is amazing, great quality

The Onyx backpack is like no other. I can put everything I need in this bag and I love the water bottle holder on the side. Also love the nice bright lining in Everki's bags, it really helps to make items stand out and means they are quick and easy to find.
