Used it very frequently for school the past one and a half years and it started falling apart after one year but was usable with some sowing together. After another four months, I decided to just trash it and get something else. For the first couple months it was an amazing backpack. Small and fit all the necessary things I needed to put in for school.The case definitely was not designed to hold a laptop, just barely fitting a 15.6" laptop. A 14" laptop was a much better fit. Having a laptop plus a couple spirals basically maxed out the capacity of the backpack, but this was all I needed for school so it was ok.
