Reviews & Ratings for Mercury Tactical Computer Messenger Bag — 4 reviews — Page 1

I have been using laptops for work and home for just over 30 years and been through a lot of cases. My cases get swung in vehicles, jerked up to my shoulder, hang from the shoulder strap as I run up stairs, bounce off every seat back as I walk down the airplane isle, plus, my bags need to carry a 17" laptop, its charger, a 6 port USB charger, two padded folders with writing pads, an external mouse, mouse-pad, assorted cables, writing instruments, and a few personal items...in short, it is heavy. EVERY laptop case I ever owned ultimately failed in the same place; where the shoulder strap attaches to the sewn on tab on the side of the case, a connection that must take ALL the static and dynamic loads. On the side of the case the tab starts tearing the side fabric! Instead of a sewn-on tab, THIS CASE HAS a wide strap that starts on one side and is sewn all the way down the side, across the bottom, and up the other side. Carrying this case by the shoulder strap puts virtually no strain on the side fabric. I will never again worry about it failing.

Between the interior compartments and the 3 molle compartments on the outside, this case allows me to organize what I usually carry.

The removable padded sleeve for protecting the laptop has a handle and can be used on its own.

The only negative is that it is only available in multicam which I fear upsets many members of the public, especially when carrying it on an airplane. I wish they made it in black and/or coyote brown. I would ...

Had been looking for a new bag to carry my laptop or tablet and also store other papers and media for meetings and came across the Code Alpha Messenger Bag. First impressions are that it is very well made and has flexibility to fit my needs. The rear compartment houses a separate padded laptop/tablet bag which can be removed for other storage if you are not planning on carrying a laptop. The Molle pouches are perfect for storing device chargers, hard drives and peripherals but can be removed to give a lower profile. I previously had a 5.11 Lima bag but was looking for something to fit my needs a little more and so far this Code Alpha Messenger Bag seems to suit my needs perfectly. Not sure about longevity and how it will withstand constant use but so far very pleased with this item.

Great bag will recommend to anyone thinking of buying one. Fits mt 15" laptop very well, love the seperate padded case. The whole bag is PVC lined for resistance to light rain. Great bag!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great laptop carry bag. Needed a larger carry bag for my 17" laptop and this one is outstanding. Only complaint I would have is that it's a little difficult to carry a firearm in the rear pocket. Molle straps are a little too large and I wish they went with standard Molle.
