The rugged leather handle—wrapped around an aluminum bar—isn’t form-fitted to your hand, but becomes more comfortable with time. That’s the beauty of leather, after all. The shoulder strap also takes some breaking in; it’s 100% leather as well (aside from metal latch mechanism), and its stiffness will wear down with use. I thought the lack of padding on the slidable shoulder rest would bother me, but because you simply cannot weigh down this bag with excess junk, you won’t really need it…unless your laptop is a brick.
There are a couple other things to consider here. First, it comes with a second, smaller pouch that attaches to the bag’s handle, allowing for storage of a power cord, phone or iPod, mouse, etc. This pouch has its own shoulder strap, as well, if you choose to carry it that way. Second, the leather/Neoprene construction will help to keep your laptop cool, as leather is really good about blocking outside temperatures. It’s also very durable, so you know your laptop is safe inside of it.
