The small side pockets do a great job of holding a lens cleaning kit, small flashlight, small cell phone, but not much else as it's a pain to get anything in or out. The anti-Bluetooth pocket is a pretty cool touch. The strap is pretty tame and should have received more attention during the design stage. I love the flap enclosure. Great every day bag.

I've been using this for the past year and not had any problems with it. Good size laptop compartment with strong padding at the bottom.

Cons: Too small, this is a bag designed for you to travel light. Power supply, pens, notebook, mouse, glasses, phone, mp3 player and that's it, full.

If you want to pop your sandwiches in there too forget it. In addition I find the flap to be annoying now especially if I want to get at my keys or something.

Build quality is damned good as is all Oakley gear. I've been using it on the Underground, flights, trains the lot every day and it's taken the punishment.

So if you travel light it's great, want a bit more storage look at another bag.

the interior liner has separated in a couple places were upon further inspection the stitching was too close to the edge of the material, and worst thing, the nylon loop that holds the D ring to the bag spontaneously let got (interior stitched so no way to repair). A quick hand saved the laptop bag from slamming onto the concrete. The plus side is the outside looks as new as the day I got it, but otherwise I was a bit surprised at the poorer than expected quality. I'm not giving up though, I just ordered the S.I. bag yesterday. We'll see if that's better.

After a year+ of using the AP Sandbag I needed a change. Both physically and stylistically. The Vertical 2.0 caught my eye at an Apple store and was exactly waht I was looking for in a computer/work bag. The option for carrying it on either shoulder or cross my chest. Space for my current iBook and with room enough to spare to accomodate the larger laptop I am looking to get later this year. Two sections large enough for papers and files, one protected and one easy access, and the organizer section of this bag is hands down teh best I have seen in any Oakley bag to date. Though some pockets are for phone and PDA – iPod, cleaner for my glasses and so on fit more than well.

Very nice design, works with my 15" IBM. I was not too crazy about the SI and other model, but this thing can work when I really have to wear suit and tie.
I prefered the 1.0, but now I can't find them anymore.

I still can't figure out the bungee code on the side...holding a Red Bull size can???

It could a little more padding in my opinion, and some padding for the PDA pouch.

Quality is excellent.
