Honestly its awesome how much stuff i fit into this backpack and how much room I still have for more. The side pockets are literally my favorite feature and what really pushed me to pull the trigger on this one instead of the other incase backpacks. The video on the incase website is seriously a legitimate testament in showing how much it fits - if you can handle the weight of all that.. Its a ridiculously wonderful backpack and i cant imagine going on without it, so it gets 5 stars for sure.
It's currently holding (with the utmost ease) my; 12" Retina MacBook, iPad Pro, and 2 Medium Sized paperback books in the "main compartment", tons of adapters, about half-a-dozen USBthis to USBthat cords, macbook/ipad chargers, a few pens/pencils, keys, two small external SSD's, a wall outlet expander, and some snacks in the "accessories compartment", Mail i snatched from the mailbox on my way out, and 1
Shinola Soft Linen Cover Journal Navy
in the front zippered section, a
Wonder Wallet - Amazing Slim RFID Wallets As Seen on TV, Black Leather
in one side pocket and a
RAVPower Element 10400mAh Portable Charger iSmart Technology (External Battery Pack, Power Bank, 3A Output, Dual USB)-White
in the other.
Bottom Line: Get this backpack if you like incase products and like to carry a lot of useful items..
-------
The following comments are *minor* criticism's intended for the sake of progress and future development of new products - Thusly, please see below for my wish list in regards to this backpack;
*A 2nd key holder/clasp within the "accessory compartment" preferably much shorter so when its left on keys it isn't as long compared to the keys themselves)
*A magnetic or button clasp/closer for the top pouch within the "accessory compartment" so it doesn't stay open.
*A Faux Fur "tablet" section within the "main compartment" - cause my 12" MacBook actually fits in that one perfectly while my iPad Pro fits snuggly in the bigger "laptop" section.
*Built-in Rain Guard. I see you make them, and i'll be purchasing one. It just would have been way nicer to have it already integrated. I would have paid another 20-30 bucks without a 2nd thought for this feature especially since it IS a quality backpack at a higher than average price point already.
*i wish the "accessory compartment" would unzip just another inch or two further like the "main compartment" does for easier access to my accessories...
*having the top zipper pouch (which is awesome btw) integrated into the lining between the two compartments. I honestly cant (nor will I) deduct stars/points for the current design because i really feel like a whinny little sob for complaining that -sometimes- it gets in the way due to being "loose" when reaching into, or pulling things out of, the "main compartment" (Also, i really love that its lined with faux fur. fantastic feature. really. is fantastic.)
thats really it. none of the above points take away anything from the functionality and awesomeness of this backpack in regards to its current design, they're just small changes that would make an already perfect backpack even more perfect.
aaaand since i'm already here and *incase* you'd like to know..... My one personal wish for the "1 Backpack to Rule Them All".. - PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make an "Icon Slim DSLR Pack" (and/or a "DSLR Pro Slim Pack")!! if this current backpack could just carry like 1 mirrorless body and 2 lenses within a dedicated section - omg it would be utterly perfect. Some detachable side straps for a travel tripod would be really nice too... But maybe we don't even have to go that far... It would be super sick if you could just make an optional camera insert for it, with all the velcro camera dividers and such, that fits right into the "main compartment" of the Icon Slim Pack and only keeps the laptop/tablet pouch accessible. God that would be amazing...

I love this backpack
I love this backpack. I was looking for a lightweight bag that does not hurt my back (this only weighs 2 lbs), but also fit all my essentials. I can fit my laptop, its brick charger and mouse in it, with a small note book, and my glasses. I put my sunglasses in its top compartment which seems to have an anti-scartching fabric. I always carry 2 bottles with me, one for coffee and one for water, and I managed to place them inside the bag. I love the inside organization. One of my favorite things is its side pockets and the way you unzip them: when you are wearing the bag, you can unzip the side pockets from downward to upward, and they are designed in a way that you can take out your purse or phone without taking the bag off your shoulders.
