Incredible backpack and the packaging came with a very nice and personalized touch.
Rarely does reality meet expectations but this is the case after receiving and using this bag. I was looking for a light functional bag with just enough room for books, a coffee or water bottle, a laptop etc for the coffee shop or cycle commuting. I love its looks as well.
This is a great way to pack around everything I need for errands and nights out. I do wish the strap was detachable so it could fit better in larger bags.
Magnetic buckle and closure are amazing. Super well made as usual.
I wish you had a leather strap option (at least for the black color). That would be amazing. Keep the bag as is, just add an option to substitute a leather strap. I’d even be ok if it wasn’t adjustable length. Bonus point if it’s magnetically adjustable length.
Excellent quality, fast shipment, elegant case!
Friendly service!
Reliable safety and plenty of space too. Finally my Hires Player found a home along with the Airpods Max!
Highly recommended!
Thanks Gary!
Bought my first case for a new iPad that we took on vacation. Got LOTS of favorable comments from other passengers on our ship when I was using my iPad. Just bought a second on for my wife’s iPad. Appreciate the size of the case to hold not one the iPad but the charger, cables etc. Perfect for my needs.
This is an exemplary case of what American quality used to represent in the past.
Top-notch construction, beautiful yet rugged aesthetics, the right choice of hardwares, and so on.
The Mac Studio case fits right into the 16" Full size Tech Folio briefcase and leaves plenty of room for accessories.
There is no wrong choice in their entire lineup. Just pick the right size and you're good for the next decade.
Fits my needs extremely well. Whether it's my weekday commute, or weekend strolls, it fits just enough to carry everything I need, while still being light and compact enough to never be in the way. Materials are great, I love that its offered in leather in canvas for a more natural look. Also love that the only dedicated feature is the water bottle pocket, which is out of the way if not needed, but keeps the bottle from sloshing around when it's in the bag. I'm still trying to figure out where to stash my Clipper Card, but maybe I'll put a zinger on the key clip for that purpose.
I do wish there was an accompanying travel bag in canvas/leather that doesn't replicate features of this bag. Having a duffle or backpack or rolling bag that are just a big cavity in the same style without any frills would be great. The existing larger Waterfield bags all have a lot of overlap with this, but since this already covers all my electronics/camera/water bottle/paper needs, all I really need in addition for travel is a simple larger bag to put clothes and shoes into.
I have various pouch and bags made from Waterfield. The bag-built quality looks great. The modern design such as Fidlock buckle and hidden magnetic closure helps easy access with one hand. Thanks Waterfield continuous effort to make such great bag for me.
This is an absolutely awesome bag! Love the usability and practicality of the design.
This bag is the solution for traveling with the Apple Vision Pro. The others are just too bulky.
The quality of the case is exactly as described in the posting. The attention to detail was perfect. The case fit right away b it the do suggest massaging the case out, and I would suggest doing so to make sure it’s a little easier to open and out your device in. It fits the rog Xbox ally c perfectly. I definitely want to get more for my other devices
I needed a slim backpack to keep my laptop and associated chargers etc. This is perfect and I have been getting compliments!
I have lots of leather bags but this one is really nice. If you’re dressed up or dressed down this bag suits it all. Amazing quality. I ordered the black and it looks high end. Easy to get into but hard for someone else to pick pocket. Love the magnetic closure, zippers are for women haha. I would definitely recommend this for someone who enjoys the small luxuries in life.
This is a nice looking with a retro look. Materials are as always great. Zippers, leather. My MB Pro fits nicely along with a few items (headphones a notebook), but less space than I expected. Enough for a minimal commute, which is what I wanted. The two side pockets are good for quick access, but they are a bit on the small side.
I lived in San Francisco for 15 years. Now and then I would attend a work related meeting or social event and see someone with a bag or piece of luggage that caught my eye. After asking where they got it, the answer was quite often “SF Bags” or “WaterField Designs”. After a few of these encounters I bookmarked their website. I didn’t need a bag at the time but knew I would someday.
I no longer live in San Francisco. But when that time arrived I explored their collection, was immediately interested in the SHINJUKU LAPTOP BACKPACK and placed my order (Ballistic Nylon + Black Leather). When it arrived I was super happy with the design and craftsmanship.
Soon after that I ordered the SHINJUKU TECH ORGANIZER (Ballistic Nylon + Black Leather) and it has been the perfect combination for my mobile work lifestyle. Then I started to notice those moments when I took my worn out wallet out of the SHINJUKU and placed it back inside. And I thought... “Huh... I wonder if they make wallets too?” And voila! I ordered the VIA LEATHER BILLFOLD WALLET (Black Leather with Crimson Leather accents).
I highly recommend that you consider the products made in San Francisco by WaterField Designs!
I am using the City Slciker iPhone pouch with the iPhone 17 pro max in a dbrand grip case. While the fit is snug it works and I have no trouble closing the flap on the magnetic case with the iPhone in the pouch. I do beleive that for the price, a leather pad should be provided for the shoulder strap which woiuld make it more comfortable to wear.
The caddy is perfect. I was worried as I use my iPad 11 with a keyboard and for some reason this is not often considered on tablet bags.
Not here it is perfect and fits all my tablet gear perfectly!
The Staad backpack is just what I wanted, but have not found for years: It’s a compact pack that carries just what I need, with some room to spare. It’s beautifully made with natural materials. It’s functional, but offers a basic, simple look. It just works commuting every day.
But what may be even better that the backpack itself it’s the customer service by the Waterfield team: When I received my backpack, I was first thrilled - but then disappointed: There were a few wholes on the leather front panel from stitching gone wrong. Didn’t look pretty…
I wrote to customer support, which responded within hours, offering their apologies and announcing sending me a new backpack. The second one is perfect :)
Thank you Gary and your team - it’s those experiences that remind you why you buy from a committed company that really stands proudly by their product!
I searched, read reviews and scoured the Internet for weeks to find the right bag. I wanted something that was of high-quality leather and preferably handmade in the USA. This bag fit all the criteria I was looking for and some. The way the bag is accessible with one hand with the magnetic closures is absolutely amazing. People are constantly looking at my bag trying to figure out what kind it is. I would highly recommend Waterfield and will definitely be shopping here again. Thank you, Waterfield making authentic American made high quality goods. Not many companies are taking pride and what they make the way Waterfield is.. The price point hits way below what I was expecting to pay. Buy from this company and I guarantee you will be as impressed as I was.
Chris,
