Velocity MATRIX PRO
Laptop Backpack

I purchased the Velocity Matrix 17" for my new Alienware M17x and I'm very happy with the overall product. Beyond the fact that it fits the huge laptop easily and safely, it has plenty of space for all of the typical peripherals you'd carry around with a laptop. The build quality is excellent, and you can tell a lot of thought went into the layout of the bag. The only small issue I have is that the bag is a bit "floppy" when you don't have anything in it, making it difficult to insert a very heavy 17" laptop with one-hand, and trying to hold the sleeve portion of the bag open with the other - perhaps an internal rigid structure would help keep its shape when it's empty? Beyond that, a fantastic product, and certainly the best laptop bag I've ever seen.

This thing is luxury! Softly lined all throughout the inside and fits my M17x. I would've liked some more organizer pockets in the second big space, but I'll manage. Great backpack!

strong, stylish, and even during the rain protects any gear you carry. I chose your product b/c it looks smaller then what I am actually carrying and there are so many compartments no matter what you have to pack, you have a place to put it. *just a thought, but I have had Jansport so long that I miss the little strap at the bottom of the bag, would be nice it you had it on the matrix. But hey the bag is the best "hot butter on breakfast toast!"

The matrix backpack really fits the alienware m17x The bag has great construction. I am happy I found a bag that seems worthy of my expensive alienware to protect it.

The Matrix looks distinctive and is designed well. The internal pockets are useful for all of the different kinds of equipment that I carry. For example, the plastic-lined pocket is a protected, secure place for travel documents like plane tickets and a passport.Sure, you can get a backpack for less money, but why settle for a boring backpack if you use it every day?

I purchased the Slappa Matrix Velocity Pro backpack 17'' version. This backpack is awesome it looks better then every other laptop backpack I have seen while having plenty of storage. A big plus is the fact that every single pocket is lined with a very soft cloth, ensuring that nothing will be scratched. This was the first Slappa product I have bought but it will definantly not be my last.

I've bought the Matrix Velocity Pro for my M17x. Fits it nice and snug with plenty of room for my power brick, mouse, and other accessories. The padding is excellent, makes my massive notebook feel very light. It was also one of the only bags that would fit it without looking hideous. The bag is not too bulky, and has a great feel to it. Would recommend to others.

I travel a lot to different countries and play guitar. I always take my laptop and various fragile and expensive equipment. My Velocity bag is great for protecting all my gear and is very comfortable to wear. I would recommend them to anyone. Bryan

I love my new bag, the velocity matrix for 17" notebooks, I went with Slappa over other comparable bags because I have heard of their solid construction, and excellent customer service. I love the design and feel of the bag, it makes even my giant laptop easy to carry. Thank you Slappa!

I like the product a lot, it looks great. As many people online stated I wish it had a few more compartments in the individual compartments. Also I carry a 32oz bottle of water with me everywhere and this doesnt really fit anywhere in the backpack so a compartment for that would be great. Besides that I love the product and would reccommend it.

The backpack I purchased has been phenomenal. I've been looking for a bag that could accommodate all of my gear when I'm out and about: laptop (15" MacBook Pro), digital camera, DV Camcorder, as well as all of the chords and cables that it takes to connect everything. I've been more than pleasantly surprised by all that I can fit inside of my SLAPPA pack. In addition to how great this backpack is, SLAPPA also sent me several free items - two carrying cases with carabiners, and an enormous cloth bag. I've already gotten several complements on this pack, and I'll be back to SLAPPA when I need a new one.

Bought a MATRIX to transport my laptop. Its amazing; in this florida weather which is always unpredictable, its great to have a backpack that you know will withstand a sudden rainfall while you're walking outside. I chose this over other laptop backpacks because of its ability to hold so much, while keeping a slender, compact look. Absoluetly worth the 80 dollars!

This laptop case is the coolest case I have ever owned!!! I don't mind spending tons of cash on cool stuff and I can assure you SLAPPA is the best you can buy at any cost!!!

I am writing concerning a recent purchase from Slappa.com, I ordered the Velocity Pro Matrix back Pack intended for 17 Inc notebooks. Before my order arrived I had a very positive experience with Dominick. I just sent a simple email notifying my name was spelled incorrect (my error) and I was having a little difficulty locating the package tracker on your site. Dominick was highly professional and polite, the level of costumer service that I was given made my feel highly valued, so much I am encouraged to buy from Slappa.com again. Offering a superior product at a reasonable price and excellent customer service Slappa is truly ahead of its competitors offering a rarity in retail in this day and age. I am a full time student who just can't afford to waste 100 dollars on a backpack so I invested 10's of hours in to researching the best back pack to protect my Dell M1730 again, I can't afford to damage my notebook as a newly wed, I could not afford to replace it.Now that I have the back pack I am high impressed with amount of space, and the fact that the back pack is water resistant, well padded, plenty of room for my school books and even a snack. If I only had one recommendation it would be drink nets on the side. Over all I would give this back pack a 9.8 out of 10. I am secure in the belief my system is safe in that bag. I am excited to get the money and order one for my wife. She is a digital artist who has a nice notebook and other art supplies she needs to lug around.

I love the messenger matrix bag so much! It rocks so hard! Along with the messenger I got the matrix sleeve, and no offense, but boo. Rocks hard for my wife's hp, but wont fit "the beast" my Toshiba Qosmio, oh well.

Very nice looking backpack... i had limited choices for my laptop since it is a 17 inch and most bags couldnt handle its size... had 3 i was considering but feel in love with the look of the slappa backpack.. Only complaint is that it could use a few more pockets and a drink sleeve/holder when traveling...

Travel alot with my job, using it to travel thru the airports is easier then a rolling back and easier to keep up with than just a back that hangs off one shoulder.

My backpack is high quality, and reasonably priced. I looked at just about every alternative before I found Slappa. I bought this bag because it was stylish, functional, comfortable, and inexpensive. Nobody else met all of those criteria.

I love this backpack and the Matrix sleeve. I would love it if there was a store in Australia, but can't complain as the delivery was fast so I'm happy either way.

Lots of room for not only my 17 inch apple macpro, but also all my other goodies!

Some features are nicer than on the website and others are as expected. Overall I am more pleased that I originally thought I would be. There are things that can be done to improve the backpacks such as more places external for things like water bottles, small gadgets, etc. Make it easier to attach thing to the backpack and the shoulder straps. Have some pockets made with "netting" to hold and store things. It is nice an roomy but just needs the ability to do better with "putting and tucking" things away...
