Belkin stride 360 slim backpack

The picture showed the front compartment used to store some sort of eReader. I wouldn't bet my money on it to store my iPad. Not that it would fit but, nah, a slight accidental press on it and there goes the screen
Okay, been wanting a nice and simple backpack to replace my current Sony one which I got from free. Not that it's bad or anything but I just want something much padded with sponge for extra comfort and simple design.

Requirements:-
1) simple design
2) smallest design for a backpack (to fit a laptop, I found this 14")
3) enough space for me to fit my Macbook Air, charger, cables, perhaps mouse even, water bottle
4) cheap/affordable enough

Today I simply went in to one of the local IT hardware store and browsed around. Found this backpack from Belkin (the brand I like for accessories and backpack/pouches). Took out the stuffed papers inside and check out all the compartments, was happy with it and the price is not too bad (RM170).

The size is just right, 14", although my Macbook Air is 13" but it'll do.


nice and simple frontal design, chose gray color instead of black for that added special touch
this is actually interesting, I found out when I look at the little paper thing attached to the backpack. It's actually magnetic earbud holder which can technically latch your earbuds like so. I have a small problem with one of the magnets though as the position is the same as my earphone's so they reflect each other but the right side one seems fine. I don't really mind as I have yet to see the practical use of it. Perhaps when I travel a lot eventually. We'll see but it's a nice touch

there, the main attraction itself. Nice and tight, warm and fuzzy inside, there is however missing piece which I tend to look forward to to latch on and secure the notebook but lately when I compare most of the laptop bags, they do not feature this anymore so I would have thought it's the current trend. 
Overall, currently satisfied. I'll put it through it's paces and see how it does in the coming weeks/months.
