Know before you buy
Yes. The compartment is designed to unfold completely flat, allowing your 17-inch laptop to stay inside the bag while passing through X-ray machines, which helps you avoid removing your device in most TSA-compliant airports.
With dimensions of 9.5" L x 12.5" W x 18.5" H, it is designed to fit under most standard airline seats. However, if the bag is packed to maximum capacity, it may be a tight fit on smaller regional aircraft.
The techtrap case is a dedicated, removable sleeve for your iPad or tablet that also functions as a stand. It helps keep your device protected and provides a convenient viewing angle for working on the go.
The insulated pocket is designed to hold a standard-sized water bottle or a small snack container. It features an additional exterior mesh pocket, giving you extra storage for items you need to grab quickly.
The backpack features padded shoulder straps and a padded back panel to help distribute weight evenly. The yoke-style handle also provides a comfortable grip if you prefer to carry it by hand rather than wearing it.
Yes, the bag includes hidden pockets specifically designed for valuables. These allow you to store sensitive items like your passport, wallet, or phone in a more secure, less accessible location while you are commuting or traveling.
