M.A.S.K. Custom Build Backpack
choose your face, lining and inner art

I bought the KOA bag because I travel with two laptops and sometimes a gaming console. The quality of the backpack is awesome. The materials used are the nicest I've ever seen on a backpack and the price is spot on. I will definitely purchase some different "faces" to put on the backpack, the fact that option exists is a differentiator for sure. Customer service was spectacular. They called me the day after my order just to let me know one of the pieces might be backordered. The fact that they called me instead of just posting a status to my order for me to find out when the bag didn't show up really impressed me. Great job all around and I'm definitely a customer for life.

I needed a laptop bag for travel, as I hop over to different countries frequently. What made this tricky is that I have the ASUS G74 which is a monster size laptop! The MASK laptop backpack was the only one I could find that offered the capacity and quality to fit my laptop. The bag has loads of space not only for the laptop, but for any other gear you may wish to fit inside. I am even able to fit my warm coat inside along with mouse, keyboard, power brick, headphones and more....stoked!

I am a DJ in The San.Francisco Area, I play many undergrounds and outdoor events where I must carry my Cds.laptop headphones ect. often and sometimes a fair distance.....I am not easy on my gear. All the slappa gear I have purchased ie. cd cases, Headphone case and M.A.S.K. backpack has been extremely tough and a pleasure to use and the envy of so many who are not so properly equipped!

I really enjoy the various products that I bought from Slappa. The MASK backpack is great as it can carry everything I need for all my classes including my books, 17" laptop, and various other gear, it's fantastic. And I'm rough on all my things, and this really has a sturdy build.

I absolutely love it. I ordered the slappa M.A.S.K because I carry a laptop, multiple books, accessory for the laptop, kindle, and anything I might need. I had other bags but they just didn't work. If you put too much in one compartment the others were useless. However with the slappa it doesn't matter what you put in one space it does not affect the others. I use it for work, school, and when I'm out and about. I couldn't be happier. The quality is also fantastic. Thank you for creating the perfect bag for me!

When I bought my Asus G73 I was faced with an overwhelming task of how to transport such a large laptop. I am an avid gamer and like to take my laptop everywhere I can. I loooked at the KAOA Mask and was blown away by the size and the veratility. When I got it I was even more amazed at the quality of workmanship and durability of this bag. I take it ever where. I am a Spappa customer for life and advocate for Slappa whenever I can

This product reminds me of a civilian version of a 3 day pack. I can keep an extra set of clothes, laptop, and school books and the backpack still looks presentable and not bulky.

Its a good product over all i use it for a sager 7280 laptop pack some clothes and other essentials when I'm off to visit people for a few days. Even walking for a hour and a half doesn't feel so bad wearing it on your shoulders. Then again this might be just me saying this because i walk mostly every where my only complaint is i wish there was a headphone jack in the book bag so i could listen to music easier then having to put it in my pocket but over all this is a GREAT bag to me it was worth purchasing

I recieved a M.A.S.K. Laptop bag. It seemed pricey, but I needed a bag for my Asus G73. In fact, I never thought I'd pay more than $20 for a backpack. I was very pleased with my purchase. The call to verify my order was well recieved. The shipping was fast and the bag is amazing. I will definatelly buy again.

The M.A.S.K backpack I bought is great. Exactly what I saw on the website, but it looks and feels much better in person of course. The versatility from school purposes, to gaming, to outdoors gives me a lot of options and frankly makes the purchase ALMOST completely worth it (found it a bit pricey). All in all, I'm glad I found Slappa and will be using their products with the utmost satisfaction; Thanks!

Excellent laptop bag. I needed an all around all purpose travel bag for my laptop and electronics and it is perfect so far. Sturdy and layout is allows easy access to all my electronics.

Between a laptop and school books I carry a lot of heavy stuff. None of my past backpacks could fit everything Slappa's MASK fits EVERYTHING!

I've posted a complete review with pics on my blog http://meatservo80.wordpress.com/2011/09/11/slappa-m-a-s-k-laptop-backpack-initial-review/

I bought a K.O.A. Mask Backpack and now i used it for work as a software engineer i use all the space for carrying my 16" laptop, mi lunch, computer equipment and more and i choose it because i saw all the great features and quality of this backpack. thanks

Wonderful for travelling and for Geek people like me, everything fits on it, I'm fully satisfied and definitily i would buy another one, besides i had an issue with the shipping and in few minutes they solved all, excellent customer service. Thank You Slappa :)

mask backpack which i purchased has an even better build quality then i expected. i know the back pack will last a long time. first day of school poured and backpack dried quickly as well and kept its shape. although not water proof it did last a while without getting my books destroyed but the rain prevailed(had to wait for multiple buses without umbrella) but that isnt the backpacks fault. padding and placement of pockets are top notch, makes everything easy to get to. shoulder straps could be better padded. with just my books my shoulders hurt after a bit and with the addition of my mythlogic laptop im sure it will only hurt faster. maybe i need to adjust it some more but additional padding wont hurt the product at all. the slappa logo in the middle of the backpack lands right on my spine which is nice as it is padded from the hard laptop that will eventually be there. my old nackpack, a swiss gear, had a lumbar pad that was glorious when weighted down with heavy stuff. the mask backpack could be even better with that addition as it marketed at the enthusiast market which undoubtedly carries beast laptops. how the mask front zips onto the main body of the backpack was excellently designed and i especially like how the zipper covers up the initial start point so it looks polished and complete. the inside pictures area nice flair and although i cant fully see the picture it is still nice to catch a glimpse of it while getting my books out. laptop compartment is well laid out and padded enough that i feel safe. customer service was incredible. Barb Beers was my case manager and i would buy her a drink if i met her. made me feel as though i was appreciated as a customer even after i made my purchase. that alone will make me sign slappas high praises and tell my friends about how good the brand is. i already started with my little brothers friends showing the backpack off and telling them this is how things should be made. i will gladly purchse another backpack from slappa even though i know mine will last a long time. its worth the money and investment. congratulations on making such a good product. ill do my best to help sell more

I basically wanted a laptop bag durable and comfortable to carry my new gaming monster- the asus G74. Initially i was in a dilemma whether the laptop would fit as the width of the G74 is 0.5 inches more than the bag. But it nicely fits my laptop, though a bit tight on both sides. All stiches, glued portions of the bag are perfect, the qulaity of the zips, handle, D-rings are extremely good. only i doubt whether the zippers and the hard KOA face would last long or not- only time would tell. I travel internationally, so the laptop compartment, opening fully, would definitely help in TSA checkout. The product could be better & would definitely beat the other rivals (beacon, targus, belkin, Orion) if few additions are made as-detachable shoulder straps, detachable waist straps and options to buy extra hard cover (MASK faces).

Your bag is one of the few that fits my massive Asus gaming laptop. The padded pocket for the laptop is awesome, and there is tons of extra space for all my accessories, headphones, etc. Even when fully loaded, it sits well on the back and is quite comfortable. It could use a lap-strap to keep it settled while biking and shift the weight a bit.

I am extremely pleased with my KOA. I am able to carry two desktop replacement laptops (only until I finish transferring files) without any discomfort and have found space for all the accessories I need to use on an average day. The only possible upgrade that I can think of at the moment would be a dedicated pocket for a laptop power supply, preferably on the side like my previous bag.

I ordered a SLAPPA KOA based on reviews given online and that it can fit my ASUS G73 gaming laptop. Few laptops bags, it seems, can fit it due to its unusual size. While the backpack will fit it, it is a bit snug, and I do wish there was a little bit more padding on the bottom. Overall, however, I am extremely pleased, and I hope the company will continue to keep up the good work.

does this bag have the capability to adjust to a slimmer depth? I been looking at the velocity spider pro and I can't decide which to buy because I like the features of the KOA but don't like how far it sticks out even when its just a laptop and charger in the bag.

Riding a bike to work with my Asus G73 in tow - fits like a glove.

It was the only product that met my needs completely. The only other product with similar capabilities was the Targus XL and, correctly in hind sight before I pulled the trigger, your product was far superior.

I had recently purchased an asus g73sw laptop, and the MASK bag was basically the only bag to fit it. I like nearly everything about it, but i disliked all of the insert designs. I didnt buy this bag for fashion, and i think there should be an option for a plain or more "conservative" graphic insert. I could just take it out, but then it looks unfinished with the velcro exposed. Also, there was no way to tell much about the FACE portion of the bag, and again i would have picked one that looked and operated like a regular backpack if possible, but instead my only options were weird pockets that open in different directions. great job on the size and quality, as well as airport friendly

I needed something I could use everyday, work, school, travel... This backpack exceeds every expectation I have! As a student of industrial design I appreciate the attention to detail, comfort and quality materials. I spent about 2 months searching and researching bags, of everything i found; im very glad i made the choice to go with Slappa! I love it and hope on using it for a very long time! Thanks!

If you have a G73 and want to make sure that you have a complete bag, this is it. I am Military and use this as my civilian bag. I can fit my g73, battery, wall charger, cell phone with its charger, once complete set of clothes (including shoes) camera, keys and much more. It is durable to travel with a suite made just for you. Slappa is the only way to go!!!

I purchased the KOA MASK for my new Origin laptop, since they do not offer cases. I am extremely impressed with the quality and amount of available storage provided.

Got the backpack for th asus g73 laptop. Plenty of space for books and deck boxes as well-great!

I use it to carry around a laptop and class work, it has a kot of space, best backpack I could find to fit a Asus G73 and still have space for stuff.

I chose the product because I could not find another bag that would accommodate my laptop. I have the G73 and the video on the website was what tipped the scale. The face that I received was incorrect. I ordered the High Five and received the KOA instead, even though the shipping documents were accurate. After receiving and using the KOA, I admit that I am quite pleased. I was not able to correct the order due to immediate travel to Afghanistan, but the KOA face was great and after using it, I am not certain that the High Five would have been as convenient for me. The bag is very padded and rigid and has good pockets for organization. I would like to see another wall between the face an the main storage pocket. I work in Afghanistan and need a bag that has easy storage and it is very nice that the bag is TSA friendly so now I just have to unzip the laptop compartment instead of removing the entire laptop. I would certainly recommend this product to others.

Very well built, roomy. Like the designs and different choices to chose from. Haven't seen another backpack out there like this one. Now I'll have to make a second purchase because my son wants one.

I just got my new backpack and I couldn't be happier with it. I've finally found a backpack big enough to hold my G73JH with all my accessories and still have room for clothes. My only issue (although very minor) is that my massively oversized headphones make the bag hard to close when hanging them on the velcro hook in the back compartment. It closes just fine, but just a little to tight a fit for my tastes. This is my own fault and not really a complaint/issue about the backpack itself. I've just put them in one many other pockets to solve this minor issue.

I hunted for a week for a bag that could fit the ASUS G73 Notebook's unique shape/size, with very little luck. A laptop sleeve exists, but the AC Adapter can't fit inside - and the G73 has terrible battery life, so it's almost a requirement. A SLAPPA employee posted in a thread on a notebook forum where people were trying to hunt down a bag that fit the G73, and he/she stated that the next generation of M.A.S.K bags would fit the G73 perfectly. He/She wasn't lying. This bag is amazing! It easily fits my G73, as well as an XBOX 360, power adapters, headset, mouse, mouse-pad, and a bunch of other random crap. I find it hard to even fill the damn thing up. The craftsmanship and build quality is superb, and it's very comfortable. Well done folks!

Good quality, lots of space. Could use more organization or maybe a removable bag. My backpack wont stand on its own with the laptop in it it falls foward.

I am recently the proud owner of an Asus G73 gaming laptop. After I purchased my G73 I found only the Slappa and one other Targus backpack would be able to lug this high performance machine around. I ordered the M.A.S.K. Koa Slappa Backpack and it houses my G73 nicely with extra room to spare for all of those college books. I am EXTREMELY impressed with the quality and craftsmanship of my new Slappa product. I can lug anything without compromising comfortability at the same time. A job well done Slappa! Keep up the great work!

I'm constantly carrying around my laptop and mouse and all my cables to class with me along with books and it makes walking around campus so much easier. There is so much room and I don't have to ever worry about something not fitting like I did with other bags. Also instead of having to carry my laptop in my hand I know its being carried safely in my backpack. The design of the bag is awesome and I'm constantly getting compliments on it. I KNOW Ive finally found the best backpack out there.

I am using my M.A.S.K. KOA backpack with my Sager NP7280, one of the largest laptops out there right now, and it fits like a glove! Couldn't be any more thrilled with my purchase! Well worth the money for this quality product!

I could not be more impressed with the product quality and I am very demanding. This backpack fit my ASUS G73JW perfectly in size and quality. There are pockets that fit the laptop, the wireless mouse and keyboard, the cd/dvd case, assorted extra cat 5, HDMI, and USB cables, and also my digital camera with accessories, and cell phone. If I could change one thing about the M.A.S.K. Backpack, I would give it a few more internal pockets. I also purchased the hard case CD/DVD holder with the interlocking pages (an option I'm glad I selected) They put in the right amount of pages to fill the case without having to order more. Other companies might give you too few so that you would have to order more. Just an example that SLAPPA is a company that gives you as much as they can for your dollar instead of as little as they can for your dollar. It's the kind of thing that makes a company succeed in an economy like we have right now. I was also impressed at the literature that came with the order, it made me feel that I was getting a product that the employees cared about when they made it! Thank You for a product that I will not have to ever replace because there is something better!

it fit my asus g73 nicely.

My new slappa backpack allows me to carry my 17.3" HP laptop and every accessory I have; serato dj box, DSLR, Headphones, MP3 recorder, cables and whatever else I may need. I have no problems toting all thus gear comfortably while navigating San Francisco on my mountain bike

The Slappa Mask is a very sturdy backpack. In my attempts to "accidentally" drop the backpack, nothing is damaged, and the customization is also good. Secures laptops and game consoles, and even small desktops. Best bang for the buck.

I purchased the MASK KOA for my G73JH after reading Si3's review on notebookforums and I am not disappointed. The bag is not over sized and yet it feels like it has a ton of room. The material seems very durable too and not to mention the unique bag design.

I recently purchased the MASK KOA and the optional face for it. I'm going from a smaller, three compartment pack to this one, as my laptop is too big to fit in the older pack. I would suggest another alternate face, which could add a third, smaller compartment. It would add a different sort of flexibility which while cutting down on the large compartment's space, would provide another auxiliary compartment for storage.

Using the backpack with an Alienware x17 R2. No real hard use, yet. However, the backpack is just as advertised.

First off, this bag has a TON of space. The build quality is excellent. And the price isnt really much higher than some swissgear bags ive seen at target. This bag is better plus you can customize it. Shipping was real fast. I had a question after I ordered and figured id send an email and wait 2 days for someone to get back to me. But to my surprise 10-15 minutes later, I got a reply from the president of the company! Dominick truly gets it when it comes to customer service. I highly recommend this bag and this company.

My Asus G73 didn't fit so well inside my Swissgear Pegasus. So i need something bigger. It was awesome to find a bag that funtionality built into the design!!! I thought the Pegasus was great, I just didn't know what i was missing! I could literally carry my laptop, my Xbox360, camcorder, sh*t and everything else with room left for a ton more! And on top of that the bag doesnt even seem that big! I'll never settle for anything less again!

Ordered KOA 17" backpack and 18" Matrix laptop sleeve; using both for an ASUS G73 laptop. Chose products because many G73 users suggested Slappa products based on their good fit with such a large notebook. I am satisfied with the fit, and with the quality

I the slappa high 5 backpack. I plan to use it to go back and forth to work. I will hold my laptop, lunch, and anything els in it that I need. I will be riding my bike, so it was important that I have a backpack that is durible, and big; i have a 17 inch laptop.

im planning to use my Mask Backpack once i gotten myself a new Laptop which its gonna be huge 17inc above, i loved how you're able to customize the Backpack the way you like it like no others on the market and begin different from the crowd really makes you stands out.

Placed an order on the US site, but it was out of stock. I recieved an email from Customer Service, suggesting that I use the canadaian site, and that it would also save me money on shipping and customs. Great Backpack and service.

My slappa (koa face) has been travelling with me across Europe. As of now it holds a 15inch Macbook pro (plus cables), A dell inspiron 15 (plus cables) a Logitech laptop cooler, a Lacie rugged, an access virus Snow (plus cables), a korg nano keyboard, a steel series siberia headset, my ipod and 2 cans of beer. And It still has plenty of room inside it. Its survived various cramped spaces, heavy rainfall and freezing temperature. Pretty cool.

The backpack is great!!! Sturdy and holds a lot. A great purchase!!!

I am currently (with extreme joy) using my SLAPPA backpack for carrying around my ASUS G73 laptop along with a bunch of college textbooks. My M.A.S.K bag can quickly fit whatever I need to carry in a snap. Tons of nice spacious pockets! The bags SLAPPA offers aren't the cheapest but they are honestly worth every penny. Pure quality and craftsmanship are worth the money. I couldn't be more pleased with my purchase.

Carries my monster Asus G73 plus college textbooks with ease. Plenty of room and great quality. Strong but lighter material than other bags i could find.

Very sturdy craftsmanship and ultra-functional design. This is the largest laptop backpack I've found and it will fit an Asus G73 laptop. Since they're going with the "Custom Build" concept I would have liked to see a lot more options for artist (or self-made) inserts as well as more face options. The inserts are unique and thoughtful but not quite my taste. The two faces available are useful designs but I'd just like to see more. Overall I'm very happy with my purchase. I found it hard to believe a backpack could be worth more than $100 but I'm not regretting the purchase.

This is the laptop bag of all laptop bags. I needed a bag big enough to fit my Asus G73 in and I got what I asked for. Now I can carry my laptop, 2 3ring binders, 2 notebooks, and a 500+ page book in a single bag! And there's still room! Great for college students.

My G73 fits perfectly. It's safe and secure. Nice touch with the zippers and the ability to put a lock through them. Like the ability to completely open it up. And loaded, it makes a great impromto workout. This bag will outlast the laptop and probable me. Awesome product.

I needed a bag to hold my laptop securely and safely but also fit all my other stuff, since I travel and that is my only bag. The slappa bag I purchased is large enough to pack clothes for my international trip as well as keep my laptop safe and secure but easy to get to.

I needed to find a bag that fit my G73... xbox 360.... misc hard drives and head phones this is it. I use this thing constantly and dont leave home without it.

Fits my M17X snug. Lots of room for all of my equipment, books, software. Strong, durable design. Would like to see padded pockets, maybe even an antistatic lined pocket.

M.A.S.K. BAG: Large backpack capable of storing tons of equipment. Ideal for gamers with larger laptops and multiple accessories.

I own an asus G73 and it was impossible to find a bag that it would fit in. Then i came across a chat forum and discovered Slappa. I am a college student so i need a comfortable bag that would notbe too heavy and wouldfit all of my equipment. Slappa was definitely the best choice for me and I would absolutely recommend this product to anyone.

I own an Alienware M17x-R2 and I wanted a good, sturdy backpack to keep it safe, that also looked good ;) Thank you for your product since there aren't many options outthere that fit this monster of a laptop while keeping it casual.

I chose it because my huge laptop fits in the padded compartment. I work in the Gulf of Mexico. Every two weeks my laptop is carried up stairs to a heliport on a platform over water. If the stap on my bag breaks when I'm headed to or from the heliport, my bag and everything in it is history. I don't worry near as much about this with your product. It looks to be made of very good quality.

I am using it to carry my new Asus G73 laptop and it works perfectly!

BEST BACK PACK FOR THE ASUS G73 TONS OF ROOM ! ! !

This is a serious backpack. The build quality is second to none. It looks and feels like you're carrying a serious peice of gear. It holds my 17" MBP, Serato, Uberstand, hardrive, all cables, powercords, mixer (TTM56) with ease, and I still got room for lunch! Props to Slappa for doing it up properly!

This is the best Backpack for this laptop tons and tons of room for everything, built strong like bull! lol you can't find a better backpack then this for the asus g73 !!!! A++++

I ordered the custom backpack. While searching for a backpack that would hold my Asus G73 laptop I came upon a review by a person who had ordered your bag for the same laptop I have. I was so impressed by the review that I went to your site and ordered it. I am very pleased so far.

Use this bag to carry around my Alienware m17x and works great. Quality is top notch and plenty of padding all around the bottom and back panel. The numerous pockets allow storage for all of your accessories but at the same time I forget which pocket my items are in. One note: If you're flying, try not to pack too much in the large secondary pocket or it makes it harder to pull out your laptop in-flight.

Bigger and sturdier than I expected. High quality that keeps my items safe and still light enough and comfortable to wear. Just don't forget where you stash your stuff, because the amount of pockets, zippers, nooks and crannies can fluster you when you're in a hurry.

I was unable to find a backpack with the capacity for my ASUS G73 until a forum referred me to Slappa. I just got my MASK and have to say that I am impressed. A little tight in the laptop pocket but the G73 is a beast. Very roomy, well made and room for a couple of text books in addition to the computer. Can only recommend this to other people on the prowl for a G73 backpack.

I purchased the M.A.S.K. backpack. I am in the military and always on the move. I can carry an Alienware M17x with a controller and power brick, a XBOX 360 with 4 controllers and power brick. My Skullcandy Hesh's fit very well in the front pockets. I almost bought a Boa, however, I didn't see varying functionality in it . I had a Swiss gear but I went through it in a year we'll have to see how this stands up to it.

I just opened the box and filled my new M.A.S.K. Everything fit perfectly; my Alienware M17x beast w/ power brick, my Xbox 360 w/ 4 controllers and power brick, a 48 cd case and a random small tools box. Perfect for ANYTHING!!!

Anyone with the Asus G73 knows how difficult it is to find something to lug around your beast in, but this bag does the trick without breaking a sweat. I am currently using this bag to carry my G73, its power cord, a headset, extra mouse, two 500+ page books, some random CDs, and there is still plenty of room left in the bag for anything else I might need to carry. On top of holding everything (and then some), it is a very well built backpack. As soon as you get your hands on it you can feel that it is going to last for a very long time! I am very satisfied with my new backpack and definitely recommend it to anyone with more than just a laptop to carry around!

M.A.S.K. KOA Backpack is awesome. Finally found a backpack big enough to hold my Asus g73 with room for extras. Bag looks very durable and well made. I love it.

Im using this backpack for my ASUS G73 and so far its a great fit except for the velcro holder on the laptop compartment that does no close all the way with that beast inside it, other than that this pack is very nice and well built... will buy again

Wow, Just got my MASK today and I cant say enough about this bag. I was able to fit -- An Asus G73JH 17 inch Notebook, an Ipad, Power Brick for Asus, Panasonic Camera, Archos 5, 4 Chargers, a PSP and its car and wall charger, A Golf GPS, A Letherman, A Knife, A large screw Driver, A small set of laptop screwdrivers, A Box Cutter, A flash memory usb Reader, A sony DVD Burner, 2 Power Supply Testers, 2 Windows 7 CD's in slim cases, and an Astro Audio System with AS40 Headphones and the Mix Amp and all its cables. Way To Go Slappa!!

I was looking for a bag that could handle all the needs I had for holding my computer and also the extra stuff I need when I travel. The M.A.S.K. is exceptional in both quality and size. It works great for my needs and will easily work for others too.

This bag is totally pro. Top quality construction, great design, and tons of legit compartments for all your gear. I recommend this bag to all.

I needed a larger backpack for my new oversized laptop. There were only about 4 packs on the market that would fit my laptop including the Slappa M.A.S.K. My big issue was I needed something that was not only stylish but did a great job protecting my hardware and had tons of space for other items. The M.A.S.K. not only delivered on all of the above but does so with killer looks and great construction and materials. This is my first SLAPPA product but definetly won't be my last.

I'm carrying a laptop, Serato box, 10-12 records, a Stanton Uberstand, a small MIDI controller, headphones, needles, 20 CD's, some assorted small bits, a pocket recorder and a flying squirrel in the bag. Absolutely awesome for a resident (3-4 show a week) DJ.

From what I understand, I'm the very first person who had this backpack shipped to them. I got the bag last night.....it is fantastic. I am really impressed with the bag. It was so worth the wait, Thank You. I think it will be a great addition to your products. I have been showing it off at work and I think you may get a few orders coming your way. I'll direct all the people I can to yourcompany. I know our Techy guys will love it when they get here today.
