Looks great smells great as weird as it may sound fits perfectly just ensure you order the size you want and if you want to carry a lot of extras order larger size and when in doubt ask them Gary is great about getting back I always confirm before I order if they can do the color combo with canvas and leather if it ain’t listed and usually get a reply within a day or two

Perfect for me

Although I can’t say if it would actually hold both as I bought to hold just an iPad Pro 12.9 some cables and wall plug as well as a backup pair of glasses in case I drop or break the ones I’m wearing it could also be used as a satchel or minimalist purse depending on who’s using it and how much they have to stow even if it isn’t tech related make sure to order right size based on equipment or reed the measurements carefully they come for multiple devices to fit snug so they don’t slam around getting damaged when in doubt about size ask when in doubt on color combinations ask i myself prefer waxed canvas and grizzly leather on all my stuff but even though it has slight differences once I add a little mink oil paste and rub with cloth all 10 of my purchases started with a matching color slightly darker than grizzly and far less than chocolate which suits my style

Perfect Outback Solo Case

My iMac Air 15” fits in the Solo Case perfectly! And, as an added bonus, the Solo Case is very comfortable to wear. I have received many compliments on its design and craftsmanship. I highly recommend the Outback Solo Case!

Well Made But Too Small

I purchased this bag for my Surface Pro 9 but it is too small, although the published specifications say it will fit. It is very well made, however.

5 stars!

I cannot put in words how much I love this bag. I do not like bulky bags so the slim MAC 15in bag works best for my MAC AIR 15in and MAC Mini and accessories with more than enough space for more accessories or a small snacks.

A Review of the Outback Solo Messenger Bag by WaterField Designs

Tools & Toys - August 1, 2017

"For the first time, I’m genuinely excited about the bag I’m carrying. I have what I need, and a minimal messenger silhouette to match. If the concept of a minimal daily carry — that gives constant little reminders of how special it is — appeals to you, I strongly recommend the Outback Solo by WaterField."

SIZE GUIDE

The main compartment in the Outback Solo is custom-fit for devices, like the: 

Apple MacBook & iPad Pro

  • 15" MacBook Air
  • 14" MacBook Pro 
  • 16" MacBook Pro
  • 13” MacBook Air
  • 13" MacBook Pro 
  • 12.9" iPad Pro 
  • 11" iPad Pro 
  • 11" iPad Air with Magic Keyboard

Others (see the Outback Solo for Laptops and Tablets)

  1. Pixel Slate
  2. reMarkable (fits in Size #28)

 

The front pocket stores accessories like a power supply, cords, and other small items. It has a built-in pocket for the Surface Pen or Apple Pencil 2, and one for the iPhone 13 Pro Max. The back pocket can fit documents and other items.

SLEEVE + ACCESSORY PACK IN ONE

The secret to its minimalist profile is the front pocket that expands to hold bulky accessories and the beautiful leather flap that covers it nicely. 

 

"Everything I need, and nothing I don't need. I'll retire before this case does. I get compliments every day. The quality of the design and construction are very impressive!" - John B.

DETAILS MATTER: CUSTOM-MADE STRAPS

We designed a special strap system that would work for the Outback Solo which is both a sleeve and shoulder bag in one. We wanted it to sit flat against your body when carrying it, and hide the evidence of straps when used as a Sleeve inserted in other bags. This is achieved with clever placement of the hardware. 


The hooks are sewn underneath the pocket so it can be hidden from view when not using. Industrial-grade snap hooks on the straps prevent accidental openings.  We put a lot of thought in how you would carry your Outback Solo so you can wear it with confidence everywhere you go.  

HOW TO FRESHEN UP YOUR CANVAS

Keep your bag looking new by applying wax when you think it needs a little refresh. Although any wax is applicable, you can use Martexin Original Wax which was initially used to coat your canvas bag. 

CARING FOR YOUR LEATHER AND WAXED CANVAS 

 

If you have the waxed canvas and chocolate leather version of the Outback Solo for MacBook and iPad, Gary shows how you can maintain these materials so they’ll look great over time. We use full grain Roughman Leather for your bag which has oils that respond well to heat. 

 

Although this video is for the AirPods Max Shield Case, the maintenance also applies to your bag.
