Vera Bradley Backpack 

"I purchased this to use in Paris in October 2013. I wanted something to hold my iPad and could be used dually as a purse. So, I've been using it daily to assess it's usability, etc. before Paris. I am very pleased with the outcome. Although it is somewhat stiff, I like the fact that it doesn't flop down when not being worn. This I feel protects the iPad. Although it is awkward carrying it if not on one's back, it still is workable for my needs. I also wanted something that didn't look a LOT like a backpack and this one works for me. It's very attractive IMHO and well constructed. Organization is not great, but still OK for me. I thought it was too expensive though. Better suited at about $45-$50 based on others seen on the Internet."

"I love Vera Bradley, but the Microsoft material made the backpack heavier than the regular backpack purse bag. With item in backpack and the material it was too heavy to carry around. This is why I had to return item. Backpack great just too heavy of material for me."

"I was so excited to see a solid color backpack from Vera, I purchased it immediately and at full retail (which is unusual for me!). I am disappointed. This backpack purse is much stiffer and less comfy than other Vera Bradley backpacks. The straps are very rigid and uncomfortable, not like the lovely sewn fabric straps on my other Vera backpacks. The inside pockets are sewn much lower down in the bag, which is very inconvenient. Bring back the higher pockets, so you don't have to dig deep down into the bag to reach them! The tablet pocket is excellent, but I think the flap should fasten or zip for security. I love Vera backpack purses so much, I'll keep this just to have a solid color, and am hoping it will soften up over time. 3 of 5 stars."
