    From all the Targus bags that I've owned, I haven't been too happy with them. Some times, the stitching comes loose, or you see threads sticking out, or even sometimes the Velcro-patch that are on the bag start ripping off after some use.
    Just my experience with Targus.

    Thanks for the input. Do you remember the model of your bag?

    No, I'm sorry. I've had this happen with 2 of my Targus bags, and a few of my friends who had various Targus were a bit disappointed in it too.
    If you're open to suggestions, then you should maybe check out the Swiss Army Synergy bag. It's not a messenger bag, but I've never heard anyone who had it complain about it.
