The reviewer reports that the shoulder-strap attachment buckles seem sturdy but are made of hard plastic and can be difficult to open. Two zippered compartments beneath the front flap remain separate, providing dedicated places for phones, keys, or wallets inside. The reviewer notes that exterior back padding cushions the wearer and helps protect a laptop or tablet carried in the rear section.
Two zippers open the padded rear section nearly halfway down its sides, giving the reviewer good access to the laptop pocket. The interior offers open rear pockets, flap-covered front pockets, and a side mesh pocket to improve organization within.
Reported strengths
- The reviewer reports that the Lunar Mirror Messenger provides secure transport for laptops and tablets, addressing a common messenger-bag limitation.
- The bag includes a soft padded fabric-lined iPad pocket, while Fidlock magnetic buckles close automatically and open by sliding laterally.
- Two zippered compartments beneath the front flap remain separate, providing dedicated places for phones, keys, or wallets inside.
Reported trade-offs
- The reviewer finds the front zippered pocket awkward because items must be slid upward into it rather than downward.
- The reviewer reports that the shoulder-strap attachment buckles seem sturdy but are made of hard plastic and can be difficult to open.
