 Pretty good, has some quirks October 19, 2009
W. Brown
This bag is pretty good for its price. The sticker price and the fact that it has a water bottle pocket were the two main reasons why I chose Ogio over Timbuk2; similar bags from the latter sell for a much higher price, and they don't any of them have water bottle pockets. The Hip Hop has two. It also has a flap covering a multitude of pockets for quick access, as well as a divided inner compartment that's suitable for a laptop or (in my case) a looseleaf binder. It also has handy pockets for plane tickets (I keep my bus pass there) and file folders on the side that rests against the body. A very handy design.
The two major cons, as I see them, are as follows:
1. The shoulder strap attachments are at a fixed angle, and one so misjudged as to cause the strap to bunch up in the plastic loops holding it to the bag. Being handy with a needle and thread, I was able to adjust the angle of the attachment hardware so that the strap rides properly rather than pulling inward and bunching up. Other reviewers have described their own methods; honestly, the bag shouldn't require modification, but designers aren't always so smart.
2. The general construction feels flimsy in places. The top handle, for example, is attached at a seam, and not a good one. Most seams, including zippers, are single-stitch, where makers like JanSport would normally double the stitching for strength and durability. Some of the hardware is attached in weird ways, such as the large heavy-duty parachute clip holding the flap shut. Though the bottom part is secured to the corner of the pack and appears quite solid, the top part attached to the flap is attached only to the taffeta lining of the flap. The proper way to attach it would have been to stitch clear through the flap or run the strap over the tough outer fabric; the taffeta will rip long before the clip ever gives way.
In all, it's not a bad bag, but it could have been much better if Ogio had not decided to cut those corners.
 Had one for over 2 years & it's holding up fine! November 15, 2008

Two years ago, I purchased the earlier version here at Amazon: OGIO Hip Hop Laptop Bag in orange and, even tho I paid $65 for it at the time, it has been worth every penny. It has held up through a daily train and subway commute to NYC and is only showing only the slightest bit of wear on the outer flap after 2 years of brushing up against things. The only thing I see on this newer model is that is different from mine is the design of that flap, and, of course, the more muted color choices (mine is orange, which is still available as a Mozilla/Firefox branded version at their online store).
PRO:
-Many many places to organize your stuff! It actually took some trial and error before I'd settled on exactly where all my electronic toys would go, but it's been great to have a place for everything. The 3 inner pockets are perfect for a portable hard drive, mouse, cables, and adapters. The inside is divided into 2 sections, one of which fits my new 13.3" MacBook (which itself is in a padded sleeve) perfectly. The exterior pockets are handy for train passes, gum, pens, iPod... things you'd want to access quickly.
-TWO drink holders. I use one as a permanent place to keep my umbrella.
-Visually unique among the many many boring bags I see in the city. In 2 years of walking thru NYC, I've only seen 2 other people carrying this OGIO. If that's an important "feature" to you, it comes without detracting from the purely practical features. I do get alot of questions and comments about it, because it really stands out... but of course, mine IS orange, so YMMV!
-It seems pretty waterproof. I've never had any rain leak into it, and the (most exposed) outside side flap zipper is rubberized.
-Padded strap is very comfortable, but:
CON:
-The padded part of the strap is always slipping out of place off my shoulder-- not a deal-breaker for me, but occasionally annoying.
-The actual carrying handle is quite thin and uncomfortable, but I hardly ever carry it that way.
-On the two "ears" that connect the strap to the bag, one has a handy cellphone zippered pocket, but the other side doesn't. That non-pocket side only has a few fabric "notches," the purpose of which remains a mystery. If your man-bag carrying preference is to have the bag on your left side (as I prefer), then the cellphone pocket is behind you, so besides being inconvenient (for me), it also makes it a easy mark for pickpockets; a concern if you work in a big city. I find myself checking it often. Because of that, I sometimes wish the bag were less asymmetrical, tho that visual aesthetic is what drew me to it in the first place (see PRO comment above).
-It doesn't have any rubber feet on the bottom, so it can't stand up on it's own... it will flop over onto its side. But since the bottom fabric and stitching has held up well, it's only a minor quibble for me.
CONCLUSION:
Having gravitated to this product after wearing out several standard-issue laptop bags fairly quickly, this OGIO was a major improvement in functionality and durability for me. For the few extra dollars spent, it was well worth the (minor) investment, and I still use it --and enjoy it-- every day!

Bought the bag for my daughter for her laptop, alot of handy pockets and she takes it everywhere with her, alittle expensive but well worth it.

First off, I'm very picky about my man-purses, so I might be more critical than most.
Pros:
- Dual water bottle pockets - this one is big
- Sturdy construction
- Good size
- Enough pockets that everything has its place
- My 13" Macbook fit nicely - not too much wiggle room to slide around in
Cons:
- The rectangular plastic ring that connects the strap to the bag always gets turned around sideways, so the strap can't easily be adjusted. I cut them out and replaced them with heavy duty carabiners.
- The strap is pretty long. I like my bags to rest higher on my back, and even adjusted to its shortest, the strap was too long for me.
- Bag doesn't really flex, so it won't fit like a Timbuk2 bag would - it's more rigid
With a better strap, this bag may well have been perfect. I'm hanging on to mine, just in case I come across a strap that can pull it all together.
Nice bag but . . . June 19, 2008

This is a nice bag. Has lots of compartments and would hold all my accessories. Unfortunatly, it was too small for my gigantic 17" laptop. If only the product info listed the dimensions of the laptop sleave, I would not have to go to all the trouble of getting another bag. If only this bag would have held my laptop, it would have been nice, and trendy too.
