Exact Fit 11" Backpack
Been looking hard and long for a Precise-Fit backpack for my 11" NOT a shoulder bag, not a messenger bag, not a sleeve, A BACKPACK with 2 straps over my shoulders. It also has to fit within my 15" tall locker, no bigger. How hard is it? ..... weeks.
TIMBUK2 PISCO. It's kind of a junior size so if that's too kiddy for you, keep looking. But this bag looks good, acceptable.
usd$60. There is a 2-tone blue color.
Cons: I wish thicker material and am willing to pay, but Tumi don't make one, Swiss Gears don't make one. They don't want my $$$. Inside padding is also on the thin side, so if it bothers u, add a sleeve (purchased separately) per pictured. There is no extra padding on the bottom either, so again. But I have carried laptops with me with "normal" bags and it has never been a prob. Your mileage may vary.
TIP: ONE MOTION NOTEBOOK REMOVAL - If you are going to add a sleeve, and don't want to go through the hassle of removing the sleeve from the backpack, THEN remove the notebook from the sleeve... my WaterField sleeve (sfbags.com) has a velcro strap that when I flip it to the backside (leave it unused), it sticks to the backpack's padding, allowing a 1-Motion notebook removal. (Strap with the hook-end, not the velvet end)
