The backpack is made of really great quality material and it has a really convenient pocket in the side that ive used to store items like postcards and other documents that i dont want to get too bent up since there is a nice thick layer of padding on the back

Ive only had it for a month but honestly i can see this backpack holding up for a very long time

The only thing that keeps my laptop from falling out is the flap and magnetic claspwith that being said its still a great travel backpack i recently took it kayaking too and while things got a little wet nothing was drenched at all but unless you have a smaller laptop i wouldnt suggest it for school

I purchased this backpack late january 2016 and it is now early july 2016 and the drawstring used to close this backpack is now frayed and not closing as easily
