Since my last roundup on laptop bags, I ended up exchanging the Booq Boa for a slightly smaller bag, the Booq Folee 2M, since the Boa was just too large for everyday carry. In short, this bag has completely changed my views on what makes an effective laptop case. Two things that I had mentioned that really bothered me are present on this bag: dual carry handles and a large flap opening. Contrary to my expectations, these features are so well implemented that I no longer consider them to be problems. Because the flap does not need to be pulled back to access the laptop compartment or the main compartment, I find it much less obtrusive.

This case has a surprisingly large carrying capacity. I can comfortably put two large technical books in the main compartment which is useful sometimes. One of my favorite features is the magnetic closures on the main flap as well as the interior pockets. They really help keep the things in place without noisy velcro or zippers. Overall, this is one of the finest bags I have ever purchased and I highly recommend it.
