This is a great bag.
Well done heavy duty seems that look as if they would be able to hold up against the average reckless student.
Our bag was a white and black finish the white cover looked as if it would be easy to clean.

Put the bag on your shoulder and away you go.

The solar panel is on the front of the product and easy to hook into. BUT of course you need to be sure you have the right connectors and while the bag comes with an assortment you need to carry them around. It would be nice to have a more built in system.

This is a great looking bag that is sure to turn heads!
We would have liked to see more padding on the bottom and possibly a waterproof cover on the bottom of the bag for those wet surfaces you may put a bag down on.
A handle as well as shoulder strap would be nice.
The velcro did let go several times under a heavy load

Finally a bag that is great for charging a camera, mp3 player and those things you are always carrying!
No more charger worry!
This bag worked like a charm.
My 1Phone 4 was a little finicky it did and did not charge! But everything else was great!
AND this bag comes with the POWERCHIMP!

This is a great little device to get you out of a pinch! Well almost!
The powerchimp works by using the two included rechargeable AA batteries to power your devices and will recharge most standard mobile phones once fully before the batteries in the chimp will need recharging (not suitable for power-hungry smartphones such as iPhone 4/3GS or touchscreen MP3 players such as iPod Touch). Although it did give some charge in the model we tested.
Super easy to use and ultra portable.
Come with a bag of connectors and the rechargable batteries are included!
Kit includes:
* 1 x Powerchimp in one of four colours
* 2 x AA Ni-MH 1800 mAh rechargeable batteries
* 1 x Black carry pouch
* connectors for Nokia & Mini-Nokia, Samsung, Siemens, Sony Ericcson, Motorola, and Mini USB for Motorola Razor V series, Blackberry and Bluetooth headsets
* 1 x retractable USB recharging cable

This is a fantastic bag that is very well constructed with extra work on the seams. We would have liked to see extra padding on the bottom given it can carry a laptop.

The velcro clips do let go if overloaded but the general look and feel is fantastic.

This is nothing short of a great product!
We liked the weight of the bag although as we said it could use some more padding.
Easy to use connector and a huge solar panel.
Form and function unite here!
