IMPORTANT NOTE!!
After several comments from people, it seems that the Kickstarter version (in this video) of the Bobby Backpack is quite different from the retail version. Key differences are that there are no internal: zipped side pockets or sleeve at the top.

you didn't even attempt to use the hidden pouches
+Aaron Arteaga Personally, I didn't find any of the hidden pouches/areas to be useful for my use. That's just me though, I'm sure others would find it useful.
Your sense of space and what fits where is ridiculously funny.
TheBlackCat1997able "let me just put the laptop on the ipad sleeve"
ikr😂
A bad choice
literally gave me anxiety... like you arent running out of space, you just dont know how to pack shit lol
Put's one laptop one tablet and some pencils in " i'm running out of space " 😂😂😂
KORNEL so true and dumb
K O R N E L i
😂
Abdullah Mahomed ,,,,l
K O R N E L I agree that it’s a dumb thing to say but I feel like he meant not many compartments to store the small items and not shove everything into the big empty space
You're just bad at space management lol!, all your stuffs would fit into all the compartments if you used them all, i own a bobby and i carry a lot more stuff than you conveniently in it.
lawrence madu I have one and I agree
lawrence madu would it be able to fit some small books, macbook air, ipad pro 12.9" and a lunchbox? Thanks :)
lawrence madu I agree with you
Nice laptop man!!!
what size is your Asus ROG? 15,6"?
It's not about putting all the crap from your old bag to the new bag. It's about protecting what's in it. I too have to carry less after switching but turns out over time you'll realize it wasn't needed anyway. I like the fact it reminded me just because you could doesn't mean you should. Like most people they keep packing the bag because it fits and end up with a huge bag on their back which looks ridiculous.
I can see where you're coming from Frank and I agree in someways with what you're saying. However for me, one of the main gripes I had with this backpack was that it was hard to access the stuff in transit which I often need to do. Now that's totally the idea that XD Design are going for as it is anti-theft and supposed to be hard to access, but where I live, theft isn't that common so there isn't much of a need for me to use this as a daily backpack. But if I were to go to another country or place where theft is common, I would for sure use this bag.
2:15 “got my pencils” dude those are pens but it’s okay cuz people makes mistakes
You need to evaluate what you need to bring around, who need 3 pairs of headphones and if you have an iPad/laptop/phone with you, why use a journal? I am sure i could have easily fitted all the stuff you have in there much better. It is a nice bag pack and i would surely consider getting one for myself as my normal backpack is really getting old. practice your "Tetris" game and try redo the packing :)
+iZilly thanks for stating your opinion without being rude or mean, I really do appreciate comments like this. If someone tells me I stuck I tend to ignore it but we'll thought out and logical criticism always goes a long way. So thanks for the feedback. Check out a video I'll be posting tomorrow about the ClickPack Pro and see if I've made things clearer or improved :)
I was wondering why three headphones also... and why are the headphones in such a bulk box ? 😂😂
iZilly 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ soooo trueeee
Same you fitted them in bad
I just wanna come do it for you!
I was just going like, "Come on, James! You can do better!" 😂😂
Dude I'm sorry but in my experience so far (3 months), the info in this video is illogical. I carry with me at all times a 2016 15'' MacBook Pro, iPad Pro 2016, iPhone 7, notepad, water bottle , umbrella, stationary and many other tech gadgets and it all fits perfectly. If course in your situation things didn't work out but I'm my experience it was worth the money and you were using it wrong. If you have any questions etc please reply and I will answer
Haha, yea man I agree. If you're not carrying much stuff and you don't really need to access stuff from the bag in between transit, then I think it's great. But it just doesn't suit me personally and my needs. Of course this bag suits people out there, but just not me. But having said that, if I were to go to a country or place where theft is common, I would for sure bring this bag.
Junaid Alam hi could you also make a review? Thanks! :)
Cynthia Jimenez i would love to but i don't have a camera, or at least a DSLR. Would iPhone 7 quality be good?
+Junaid Alam Yeah it would be good
Junaid Alam that would be great :)
I got frustrated real quick. Hes really a bad packer
Bought one. Looks great, gives good protection. At the same time, you can't put a lot of stuff in it. So either you need to organize very precisely so you can still close the bag, or just don't take a lot with you. I used to have a laptop plus my fitness clothing and shoes in my old bag, which was actually a lot smaller, but can't do it in this bag. It takes way too much time and effort to stuff it in without spending much time and frustration organizing and closing the bag.
Right on.
come on , 3 headphones what do you do with 3 headphones?????? and one laptop and 1 ipad????? and then you say there is no more space... I don't understand that kind of people... use 1 headphone, no need to ipad if you have a laptop and your phone gonna replace the ipad also so ipad is useless, and the rest it can goes very well if you only take one Item note 3 headphones... anyways...
Rida Issa 3 headphones is a bi much but I carry a laptop and an iPad at the same time. I commute to work and use the iPad on the train and laptop at work.
Good video! but I don't think that the backpack has limited functionality owning one myself
Thanks for the video. I was thinking of buying one and you have clarified a lot of doubts about it.
Thank you very much again.
Keep it up, you are doing a great job.
+David Castañeda No worries. Glad it helped you :)
So this is a good video, I actually just got an ad for this backpack. I'm doing my own research to know what I'm looking into before I buy one.
I honestly would not call this a review because you didn't show any other pockets that the ad did.
I would just call this a regular video.
You may not have seem to have any use for the extra pocket but I fully believe that all the really small stuff could have been put in the other hidden space.
Keep in mind this is slightly different from the one they currently have this was the Kickstarter version.
This video didn't show the features of this bag.... This video just goes to show that the Bobby backpack isn't meant to be stuffed with things.. duh
+Maxing Ashing This video isn't meant to show the features; It's meant to show how much I can load up. My Unboxing and Quick-Look video goes more into the features.
you are probably right. sorry.. I subscribed tho ..
+Maxing Ashing haha no worries. Cheers :)
James Chia Cheers !
ya what I need is a work space big for journal, papers, pens, pencils then there's need to be a live zone clothes and glasses then the a devices space for your laptop, iPad, iPhone, headphones, and a little space for little tools. and all that stuff I just said is like a big backpack last things for the bag in needs to be anti theft prove and little secret pockets. man I type a lot 😃
it looks like a very mission intensive backpack - travel fast and lite - i believe it has three desecrate pockets on the outside - they could have held some of the smaller cables - an outside water bottle pocket ( maybe two ) could have been nice - i do agree the stitching on the upper corners would have been better if completely sealed - good review - thanks
This video is sooooo helpful, was debating for the longest time if I should get it and if it would fit all my things, wouldn't have done it without this video!
+Lauren .hope So glad that I managed to help :) So what did you end up deciding? Do you think you'll get it?
James Chia as much as I like the minimalist look, I think I'm going for a backpack with more storage space
+Lauren .hope sounds like a good decision :)
This video just shown this guy just need a thousand pocket backpack! period!
Best review of this bagpack (even not mentioning the hidden pocket behind). Cleared my evaluation to buy it or not. Thanks.
Cheers man, glad it helped you :)
Finally !! I've watched a lot of your videos and you always connect the usb ports at once, I was starting to think you had made a deal with the devil or something. I finally saw you missing and having to try a second time (3:07) . Anyways I came to say that your videos are the best I'm ordering a clickpack pro because of you I hope I like it. Keep doing what you do you are very good at it, I would love to see more videos. The fact that you do a first impressions and a in-depth afterwards is VERY important !!
Cheers man
But if it's not too late, perhaps try look at the FlexPack Pro instead?
@@jcunboxing oh it's too late now :( thank you though
Ah OK, but still a great bag nonetheless
@@jcunboxing your one year review was very helpful and I checked flexPack (after your previews reply) I don't think it would have worked for me . Once more thanks for your help and the fact that you are so engaged with your audience is very positive!
Hello JC! will Ipad Pro 10.5 inch fits on the second compartment for the tablets?
Haha i feel like struggling too. But I like the bag a lot. I'm minimalist so everything will fit in. My only problem is putting mg packed lunch inside or my umbrella since i have tumbler too. I like ur video it's fun to watch!
Cheers man :)
Jun De Vera ...
Thanks for the review. It cost about the same where I'm at but cost less compared to branded models of the same size.
Thanks for the review it’s lol great… I’m planing to buy this bag because I want to put my camera with lenses and a laptop so this look great. Also is there space where I can put my tripod. My tripods is light so where can I put it….
??
Unfortunately this bag is quite small so I don't think you'll have space for your tripod. What you see is literally what you get. Maybe can look at other dedicated camera bags if you want to fit your tripod.
hi, are there really two small pockets hidden in the shoulder straps? They would be great for a public transport card i.e . thanks
+Tadeáš Beyer yes there is. But from what I saw and other peoples comments, putting anything in there is risky as it can fall out easily. There's nothing stopping it from coming out; not button, zip or velcro.
how wide is the laptop slot? can it fit 15.6' laptops? 38x27
So would you say the original is better or the XL model is better for every day use, and also fitting in paper work.
Probably the XL though I haven't seen one in person before.
How well does a gaming sized 15,6" laptop fit in the laptop compartment?
Height: 24.95mm (0.98") x Width: 389mm (15.32") x Depth: 274.7mm (10.82")
I see that the backpack is more a gadget bag and for school/office stuffs.
May I know if that bag can fit clothes for about 2-3 days?
Thank you for answering.
+Jom very u likely. For that you'll need something like the DayPac or the ClickPack Pro. You can find both video reviews of those on my channel.
Can you do a cut test on this? It is advertised as anti-cut but how is it demonstrated in real life isnt really shown....Like Is this thing actually stab-proof?
+memoktc I won't do a cut test just because I did buy this with my own money and wasn't sponsored. The main hard shell of the backpack I would say is cut/slash proof but the straps and the inner portion which makes contact with your back, probably not. The top and sides would be quite okay I think as well, having felt and touched the material and thickness.
memoktc it's everything it's advertised I backed it and got it it's perfect for minimalists it's also got hidden features the maker of this video hasn't seen yet 🙂
Why mine does not have the zipper on the side that the USB cable goes inside the backpack? (It's original)
I like thus guy! In the unboxing video he was woried about it's big size, amd now it's too small!!!!!! 😂
Do u reckon it has enough space for a) 13" laptop b) 4 books (MAX) c) Lunch box &water bottle d) small pencil case.
+Rightfulsnow not sure. I think some would say yes and some would say no haha
I think there is a specific pocket for power banks in the side, at least mine has it
Do you think it'll be able to fit a 15 inch laptop?
I need help and im going back to school and was wondering if you think I binder could fit in there
Angelbob77 thank you for the help
+UhOh_bent is theft an issue at your school and where you live? If not then don't get this bag. It's an anti-theft backpack and it does a fantastic job at that, but for me its a terrible bag for taking out items. Sure you can fit a lot of stuff in different pockets and tetris the entire thing up, but what happens when you want to access the thing at the bottom? Unless you open the entire thing up, it's very difficult and inconvenient to access things. And opening the whole thing up say on public transport isn't going to be convenient either. But it is anti theft and supposed to be difficult to access the items but I think it's unfortunate. I still prefer backpacks with individual compartments like the one featured in my what's in my bag video. I think at best, the Bobby can fit one full binder with a laptop. But if theft is an issue, definitely go with this.
James Chia ok thank you for the help theft is sort of a problem at my school so would you recommend any other backpack for everyday use
+UhOh_bent I'm going to be doing a video on the ClickPack Pro next week so wait and see for that one? That's also anti-theft but I think it does space management better than the Bobby.
Check out the ClickPack Pro! czcams.com/video/E3I19oEcuUQ/video.html
We got the same power bank, pens and drink bottle! Great tastes my man
+Louwhay haha niceeee so random that someone would have that much in common :P
Well thanks this WAS a very useful video
What size backpack is it ? How does it look on ?
Agreed. Hardly fully relocate my stuff from old bag to this
Hey, great reviews here. I'm thinking about buying this bag but I have to carry a few books everyday at uni and I was wondering if this could fit along with a laptop and like one or two notebooks. I think it could but can you like remove or fold the compartments on the bottom ?
I'm actually using an Eastpak standard backpack, do you think it is about the same capacity ?
(sorry if I'm not really clear, english is not my native language)
+Smaxe I think the Eastpak backpack has much more space. But I reckon from what you mentioned, it should be okay. You can't remove the compartments but they fold down flat easy enough. The really good thing about the Bobby Backpack is that when you load it up and wear it, you hardly feel anything and that's due to the good balancing of the centre of gravity. So if you're carrying heavy books, it'll be good for your back in the long run. But if you need a lot of space, perhaps you'll need to look elsewhere.
I think I'm gonna get it so, I can adapt the number of books I bring with me so I think it'll be okay and I really like the concept, a few concessions are sometimes needed. And I'll check before if I can send it back just in case.
Thanks again for your help :)
Can we use the bag for alot of books? Like for a high school student?
Depend how thick your books are, bug thick text books, probably not.
How can I order one Bobby and I theft backpack?!i live in Vienna, Austria
Anyone know how it will last during a Full year of Highschool?
My version of the bobby backpack is different for some reason. I don't have the inside pocket with the zipper to hold the battery pack.....
+Emmanuel Orupabo could be that just the Kickstarter version has it but maybe contact XD Design if you're concerned?
You missed two hidden pockets in the bag
like your honest evaluation!
+a2345678763 cheers man, appreciate it :)
Hello James I have a question. Fits 15.6" the diagonal screen or the laptop complete on the pocket??
+David Turcios any laptop that is marketed as a 15.6 inch screen will fit.
James Chia thanks for your answer. I asked you because some comments below, people asked you if fit 17" in the bag and you say no. My laptop has 15.6" screen, but the laptop complete fits 17"
"The Bobby has a special pocket to keep your Laptop safe and secure during your travels. This pocket is big enough for all laptops up to 15,6" from XD Design's website. So 17" won't fit.
Is there enough space in the tablet area for a surface pro?
Not really, it can only fit like a note book or an iPad mini. So basically 6 inch or lower devices only
Can you use it as school backpack?
hi, I was considering helping this project and buying one, but do you think this will work well for a college student?
I usually fit a portable battery, laptop (with wires), 2-3 binders, 1 notebook, water bottle, a small lunch box, pencil case (that i can put into the pencil pouch), small planner, wallet, keys, calculator, bluetooth headset.
+Chris Park I would be inclined to say no but there would be people out there who would say it's possible. I tend to side on the fact that this backpack is a little too small. You can see all the stuff I tried to fit in there and I wasn't that successful. So I don't think you will have much luck either especially with trying to fit everything with your 2-3 binders. I mean it can probably fit but how practical will it be to access things and take things out.
James Chia ok thank you! answered my question really well.
+Chris Park glad to have helped :)
I think this will be perfect for day outing during oversea holidays. I will need to bring power bank(s), camera,, probably pen and notepad and ample space to put small souvenirs purchased along the way. The back pocket will be perfect to keep passports, travel docs etc. I have my Ogio Renegade to do what this bag cant do, and Ogio is too big for day outings, so its perfect.
Oh need to fit my pocket wifi too.
There’s a pocket at the back
What about the compartments at the back? Any good?
+Isaac Ooi to be honest I haven't used the backpack since I did this video. As I mentioned in the video it's because it doesn't really suit my usage/needs. I would assume the back pocket is quite useful for storing documents such as a passport etc.. At the end of the day, it's a travel backpack.
If you feel like it, compare it to Samsonite securi 3. I'm probably going with the Samsonite since it's larger, but would like to compare the quality and features.
+Bazzer yea seems like a pretty good bag. Will see if I can get one to review...
I have huge medical books to carry, is this bag good for me?
i am own one of the bobby bag , u should put the face of the bag on the table and open it. It will be a lot more easier. To be honestly, the first time i get the bag. I feel terible to open the bag the same way to you. After change the way to open the bag, I really happy with that and now i gonna love this bag a lot. Thanks
You can take a try at the Incase ICON then. It's a bit pricy but I think you may find it to be more in your territory of management.
I'm using the Korin Design FlexPack Pro and loving it :)
@@jcunboxing That is a sweet backpack. I outfitted myself to an UnderArmour Team Hustle 3.0 backpack. It's not always used but I get around with it; easy for me to just throw what I need in and go. Mind you, I do not always carry everything I have with me, just the essentials and that's probably about 4-5 things including cables and plug-ins. I also did not see the date this video came out so I would think you may have gone through some extensive changes for your backpack choice.
Can it fir a thick 15.6 inch laptop (almost 3 centimeters thick)?
+David Lee might be a stretch but should be okay. Best to contact XD Design directly. They respond fairly quickly
can a 4 or 6 books or 5 books fit I there and 6 notebooks
Would a Dell latitude be able to fit in the laptop compartment
+DemXcius Max size 15.6" can fit.
is this bag fit 15.6" laptop? my laptop is lenovo z50
+Farhan Azam yes
I'm surprised he doesn't have more views and subscribers this is good quality
+PurplePocketGaming cheers man, it
really means a lot :)
i have a 39 cm x 26cm laptop.
would it fit in the laptop pouch?
Thanks.. Btw great review.
+Kristianne Madriaga not sure but Max size is 15.6" diagonal
:( wouldnt fit. Ive got a 17.7in laptop for work.
Thanks bro.
-tries to fit a laptop and a ton of documents in one sleeve
-complains it is too tight for the iPad
-leaves the iPad out and puts a tiny notebook in its spot instead.
Do what the bag is supposed to do, don't try to put different things where there are not supposed to go and call it a review. Geez.
How big of a laptop can u store in the bag? I have a HP 15.6 btw
+Ronnie Velarde maximum of 15 inches so your 15.6 won't fit unfortunately.
Hey James, I wish I watched your video before I bought mine... =( my stuff wont fit in...
Thanks for showing this honest review...
+Silvio Santos Junior bummer... I guess like me, just keep it for a time where you need your stuff to be secure from theft.
Does it hold 15.6inch laptop.
thx dude i was gonna buy this and im still going too
does it able to accommodate 15.6 inch or 17 inch laptop can any one answer pls
15.6, as mentioned in the description
I can see why this kind of backpack is better compared to a regular backpack
You are suppose to fold the straps up so the extra length unused doesn't dangle at all. In fact you won't even see the extra straps. External battery can be placed on the inside-side pocket right near the usb charging port. Backpack meant for people that don't use notebooks. This day and age, everything is on the Cloud. 1 mac, 1 tablet. 1 water bottle, 1 external battery & wire. Pens, maybe. Definitely use exterior side pockets on each side for quick access to smaller items. It even stands on it's own when used properly. Overall for a minimalist, 4.8 out of 5.
I bought a red one, I like the bag, its pretty and got some nice features but same as you I find it abit small for my normal use.
I usually have a 12" tablet that I have to put in the PC slot, I have a small notebook where I put in the tablet pocket, and a sketchbook that I also put in the pc-slot... then some cables, battery, some sockets and sketching tools...
What I do miss with the backpack is a side pocket where you can put your flask, it could be something that could be folded out ... (have seen in other backpacks something similar) also maybe abit more storage space for papers (or books) and the backpack would be so much nicer.
However, I do use my backpack every day, even for a short 2 day trip (with one sleepover) and managed to fit a change of cloths even hehe.
+arcticblue248 haha nice. I think the drink bottle idea is good but probably against their minimalist design and the whole anti-theft thing.
James Chia yeah, you are probably right, it would most likly make a "security" breach, a point where you could access the bag at maybe.
If use 15inches laptop can it is fit at that bag?
+Fidodi Iqwan yes it will fit 15 inches
Thanks, I bought mine from Joopzy. I love it
Can you fit a dslr in there ? When you already have a laptop in the bag ?
Depends on the size of the DSLR and what lens and what other things you are carrying but regardless it will be a tight fit for sure.
@@jcunboxing Alright, I'm going to look for another bag, thank you !
I respect your review of the bag.
+chaz kaz thanks man. Really appreciate it :)
"extra stuffs" can be put in a pouch.
Is this backpack good for school?
Would you recommend the original bobby instead of the compact?
+Paolo Gonzalez I haven't personally used the compact so can't say. But if you have only a handful of things then the compact might be okay.
James Chia thanks for the quick reply. Okay noted :)
he trying to make it seem like its a bad bag its not bacause i have the sameone you just have to much shit💯☡
do you charge it? does it overcharge? or do I need an external source all the time?
+Ryan Doyle it's literally just an extension wire, nothing more.
James Chia ok thanks dude
I used to have this bagpack It is small.. this what i need to carry! a laptop, ipadpro, kindle, cables for the 3.. a batterypack, a wirless phones..(music one) keys, a water bottle, some chips and a sandwich.. and this is where i have problems to fit the water bottle,sanwchic, I forgot the umbrellla... so maybe the XL is better, but I think there better options.. also to grab the bottle of water u have to search for it iside.. when there are other bags that are easir to grab the water of bottle, i will have to take out everything to just grab the water of bottle.. it drives me crazy!!! so I find his review very logic, becasue i have see his other videos and the easy access to things in this bag is not that good,
Thanks man, appreciate the comment and support :) it is very inconvenient and small indeed.
you misses a bunch of pockets in the bag
Can it take a 17.3 inch laptop
Where did i find it
How can i buy it
Em from pakistan
What the price is that
What size your laptop can put in that bag?
15.6"
@@jcunboxing Thank you!!.
Can you use this bag to carry books?
+Nam Khanhh it's not ideal
Bro but for school, where do you put the books?
Not recommended for carrying books especially if you've got a laptop in there as well
If you have a laptop in there, and have chargers, powerbank, and the bottle, how many novel sized books can you fit?
+Ib04175 if it's a decently thick novel then I would say at most one. Don't think you'll fit two thick novels.
James Chia ah man. That is so small. Too bad, I really like the design. Thanks
Ib04175 nah dude I have it I have 3 novels in
Junaid Alam but I bet that is without bottles and powerbanks and laptop chargers isnt it?
Ib04175 no i have bottles power banks chargers etc. I have listed my things in a recent comment. it includes them
I would appreciate his effort in fitting it all
how's the zipper? normally, that's should be the primary thing to consider. if the zipper breaks easily, the entire bag is trashed.
Zipper is pretty good quality, don't think you'll need to worry about that.
*has room for car keys, 2sets of clothes, a girlfriend, and a small hippo* "oh no I'm running out of space"
you missed a bunch of pockets in the bag Man!
There’s pockets outside 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
Try the Aerocoast Pro JetPack I and see how you like it.
Is that can be used for schooling
It can, but depends how much stuff you are carrying. Best to judge for yourself if you can fit everything that you need and be able to access the stuff later.
Your table looks nice mate
Not really indept if you didn't point out and use all the smaller compartments. On the sides and in the strap and the location of the usb port outside.
