Questions & Answers
Is the Metrolite Backpack-XF weather proof or water repellant?
Brenthaven MacBook cases are not waterproof. While we use materials that are water repellant, we do not recommend carrying your case in the rain if at all possible. We do, however, have several cases that feature a hidden rain-fly that can be pulled out when you find yourself near water! If a water-proof case is important, we highly recommend our ProStyle SlimPack backpacks or our Trek Switch MB flap.

Comments
This is the bag you want
The Metrolite BP-XF MacBook case actually fits the 15.4 inch Macbook Pro. (Little snug, but well worth it). For airport travel domestic and overseas, this is the MacBook case you want. Enough room for a MBP, and a Kindle, with room for all the other junk you need to have when you travel, this MacBook case also fits nicely under the seat or in the overhead with no fuss. The upright means you can get into it easily when it is between your legs in a cramped coach seat on a Regional Jet. (Which is what I liked). All in all, probably one of the best travel tools I have had in a LONG time.
Excellent Bag
I normally don't take time to write reviews about any of my purchases, but this MacBook case is so great that I wanted to post a 5 star review. Pockets for everything I carry. Durable, yet compact and lightweight. I've been through 4 airports since I bought it, and being able to unzip it for the x-ray machine has saved a lot of time and hassle. You won't regret buying this MacBook case.
Computer Protection is Rock Solid
The Brenthaven Metrolite BP-XF (Black/Gray) is by far the best designed backpack MacBook case on the market based on my research. The computer protection is rock solid and no additional MacBook sleeve is needed. The compartments are well thought out and zips function very smoothly. It is easy to carry on the back and the x-ray friendly features take the chore out of going through security. On the negative side, space is a bit limited if one likes to stuff a lot of reading materials. An expansion slot, for heavy load days, would have been a good additional feature. Overall very happy to own this MacBook case which combines features, laptop protection, looks and value for money very well.
Two Thumbs- Way Up
I give Brenthaven two thumbs up -- way up, for there outstanding MacBook cases. I purchased a Brenthaven backpack bag for my 17" Powerbook Pro laptop about 7 years ago. Since then I have literally taken it around the world into some very unforgiving environments--all the way constantly using it. Except for a smashed zipper handle (which happened in the Australian outback), the MacBook case is in virtually perfect condition. In a world where products seem to be made with less and less quality, it is exceptionally refreshing to experience something that truly lasts. Thanks Brenthaven for an absolutely outstanding MacBook case.
I am extremely Pleased With This Product
I am extremely pleased with this MacBook case. Brenthaven designed a bag that is comfortable, with great function, style and durability. I use this bag daily lugging my laptop and business material, walking the city all day I don't feel the weight of the cargo, it's properly balanced with good padding on the back and thick shoulder straps. The design is well thought out, nothing hangs from the bag that can snag, the zippers are large and easy to use. The amount and size of the pockets are accurate for day use and airline carry-on. Going through airport security is a breeze. I can easily take the MacBook case off in a crowd and unzip to lay flat in the storage bucket; I don't take my laptop out of bag. On the backside there is kangaroo pocket to store the shoulder straps, which again makes it easy to carry in large crowds without the worry of snagging. I receive compliments from colleagues and fashion conscious friends for same reasons. The bag does its job without attracting attention to itself. Even though I use it daily in all weather the case looks good and functions as the day I got it. I am reassured that Brenthaven offers a lifetime warranty and is dedicated to creating zero impact MacBook cases.
IT IS EVERYTHING I NEEDED
In a country where people only write when they have something negative to say, I just wanted to express my extreme satisfaction in my Metrolite BP-XF MacBook case. I think it is just great. I purchased it online because it was priced well. Just got it and given the price I was not expecting much. It is everything I needed. I was happy to realize that Brenthaven takes responsibility to the environment so serious as well. Thanks for helping a Dad look cool while he carries his office.
