Excerpt:

"With many uses, even without a notebook, the Ego is a great bag for anyone. Although on the expensive side, it's definitely worth the cost of it, it's not a mass produced bag made in another country, it's designed and made in Seattle. The customization, warranty, as well as the bag's quality itself guarantees a full lifespan. When combined with a Brain Cell, the Ego makes a great notebook bag, stylish yet with the utmost protection it can have. My Super Ego is almost three years old, and it doesn't even look old, it looks brand new, with no open seams nor scratches. I know the Ego will do the same."

TOM BIHN Sales Associate and Laptop Fit Expert Amy has been receiving quite a few emails from you asking if the Dell D620 laptop will fit inside of the newly redesigned Buzz sling bag. Here's the response she posted in our forums:

"Essentially, the built-in sleeve within the Buzz will fit laptops that are 14.1 x 9.6 x 1.3 or smaller. That said, if your D620 does not have an extended battery on it, then it will fit. The extended batteries unfortunately add another inch or so, thus making the depth about 10.3", and compromising fit inside the Buzz."

We receive emails every day from people asking all kinds of different questions - about our bags, our shipping policies, or about Tom's dog Riley.

Occasionally, when we reply to one of these emails, our response will bounce back to us for one of a few reasons: the inquiring person's email address is invalid, their mailbox is full, or a typo was made in the email address field in the contact form.

If you've sent an email to us and haven't received a reply, it's not because we didn't reply to you: either we never received your email, or we couldn't send a reply to you.

The Gadgeteer Reviews the Ego and Super Ego Messenger Bags

Excerpt:

"In sum, I can recommend either of the Ego bags without reservation. I think the choice of Super Ego or Ego is really one of personal preference, though smaller framed people may feel a bit overwhelmed by the sheer size of the Super Ego. Either way you chose you will find that they are superbly designed and constructed with high-quality materials. This means, of course, that they are not inexpensive - if you are looking for a low cost bag then don't look at Bihn's bags. However, these bags are great values, even outfitted with the optional items described above. Be sure to get a color you like as you will likely live with it for a long time, as you will likely not be in the market for a new bag any time soon - that's been my experience, which is a relief to both Casey and my overstuffed closet."
