    Ive had the Crumpler Beer Back for about two weeks now and I absolutely love it! These pics are shot from my cell phone with bad lighting and a non-steady hand. The pics make it look faded so the black color is a lot nicer in real life. I'll update this thread with better pics when I get a chance.

    In doing research for the Crumpler King Single and the Crumpler Beer Back, I could not find any pictures that show what reviewers and owners describe. Below are random shots of my Beer Back. I wanted to particularly point out how the removable laptop pouch sticks to the bag via velcro and how nice it "cleans up" when removing the pouch by having flaps cover the velcro parts.

    The green makes a great contrast with the black.

    Nice... the pictures are very useful. What size laptops can that bag hold?

    The bag holds my 17" Macbook Pro (15.4" x 10.5" x 1.0") and shouldn't have problems holding other 17" notebooks. The thick padding provides good protection for the notebook and doubles up as a comfortable cushion for the back of the carrier.

    Strange name, but looks nice. :) I've been thinking of getting a laptop bag just in case. What did it cost you?

    The bag retails for $170 but I was lucky and found it on Amazon for $150 no tax / free shipping from a vendor named Ace Photo. I just checked and their price is now $170 for it. Boooooo!

    It is a pricey bag but I chose it because it looked sleek and got high remarks on build quality. The stitching, the material, and the zippers are over-built. This bag will not break or tear for a loooooong time.

    Oh yeah, here's the site:

    Laptops 12" / 15" / 17"

    The Salary Sacrifice / The King Single / The Beer Back

    I love the names!

    I just picked this up for my HP HDX16t... AWESOME bag! I use it to carry my lappy around and books for school and work. This thing is worth every penny!
