The ID Messenger Bag: A Customer Describes What It Can Hold

Customer D.P. sent us this review of our ID Messenger Bag:

“In case anyone else is wondering how much the new ID bag holds, I wanted to post my experiences. The short answer: it holds a lot.

I just bought my ID bag, along with the Brain Cell for my 13-inch MacBook, about a month ago. I needed a bag to travel with my MacBook, but with more flexible space arrangements than a briefcase. The ID met my needs perfectly. Here’s a description of what I had in the ID for my flight:

  • 13″ MacBook in Horizontal Brain Cell
  • Laptop power supply, cables, remote, small corded mouse
  • Contax G2 rangefinder camera, plus 3 lenses, digital spot meter, blower, misc accessories
  • Medium-sized paperback book
  • IPod Nano, headphones + earplugs
  • cell phone
  • Various cards, pens, keys, normal small travel stuff
  • Lunch
  • Snack food
  • Water bottle
  • A few papers like boarding pass, itinerary, notes, etc.
  • On the return trip, all of the above plus breakfast
  • It was a little heavy with all that stuff in it, but surprisingly comfortable on my shoulder.

    While at my destination, I removed the camera equipment and used the ID to carry my laptop and lunch to work each day. Also, on the weekend I took out the Brain Cell and used the ID to carry my photo equipment, food, and water on a hike through the woods.

    After one trip I am so far a very satisfied customer. The bag is versatile, well-designed, and a pleasure to use. How often do you get a new product, and in your first use of it not experience a single frustration? That was the ID for me, a truly exceptional product.”
