Customer raves about her Smart Alec

The Smart Alec likes you, too“Last year, I bought the first-edition Smart Alec after getting tired of breaking every backpack I could get my hands on during my senior year of high school. I had been not only weary about the price, but about the need for space. I was working on a thesis project and was required to carry up to twenty books plus a 17" Powerbook (that was of my own doing) back and forth across long stretches of hallway and classroom. The Smart Alec was not only able to carry all of these together, but restored my faith in backpack-kind! After the first few days, I felt relieved that the lack of pockets and doo-dads I'd never needed before had meant that someone made durable fabric and great zippers.

“It was worth every penny. All one thousand of them. And the three months I had to wait for it. This bag puts L.L. Bean, Eddie Bauer, Orvis, and Jansport's sheet-thin construction to shame. The zippers have yet to jam, teddy grahams and other intellectual snack foods have yet to get jammed into the seams to the point of no return, I have yet to lose my calculator and I think I'm never going to buy another messenger bag or backpack from another company again if I get another complement on the asthetic appeal of your product.

“Thank you, Bihn Squad, for giving me a bag I'll be more than happy to take to college with me. May all the luck in the world be with you.”
