The choice is easier if you have a laptop with small screen size. However, many people are using laptops with screen sizes bigger than 15 inches. Therefore, we will need a bag that is compatible with your big-screen laptop and at the same time, it shouldn&#8217;t be bulky.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The choice seems to be easy but it is not. Earlier, I tried one backpack and one bag to carry my 15.6-inch laptop but they both disappointed me. The backpack is so heavy and huge while the laptop bag is built on cheap materials and it was torn apart after just 1 month. That&#8217;s why I always looked for a good laptop bag that could suit all my needs. And seemingly I&#8217;ve found the one, the Rivacase 8130 laptop bag. I&#8217;ve tried this bag for a few weeks and the bag surprises me.<\/p>\n<p>I never believed in a perfect product but this one really is, at least until now. The product is provided for review by\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.gearzap.com\/laptop-accessories\/cases-and-bags\/15-laptop-cases-bags.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Gearzap laptop bag<\/a>.\u00a0First, let&#8217;s take a look at the beautiful Rivacase bag:<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3950\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3950\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-3950\" src=\"https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/Rivacase-8130-Laptop-Bag-6.jpg\" alt=\"Rivacase-8130-Laptop-Bag-6\" width=\"650\" height=\"447\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/Rivacase-8130-Laptop-Bag-6.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/Rivacase-8130-Laptop-Bag-6-300x206.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3950\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The front<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3951\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3951\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-3951\" src=\"https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/Rivacase-8130-Laptop-Bag-4.jpg\" alt=\"Rivacase-8130-Laptop-Bag-4\" width=\"650\" height=\"460\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/Rivacase-8130-Laptop-Bag-4.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/Rivacase-8130-Laptop-Bag-4-300x212.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3951\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The back<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3952\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3952\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-3952\" src=\"https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/Rivacase-8130-Laptop-Bag-5.jpg\" alt=\"Rivacase-8130-Laptop-Bag\" width=\"650\" height=\"581\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/Rivacase-8130-Laptop-Bag-5.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/Rivacase-8130-Laptop-Bag-5-300x268.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3952\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">On the side<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>You must see the difference of this bag compared to other products. Although the bag can contain a big 15.6-inch laptop, it still looks so slim and compact. I love the design of the Rivacase 8130 as well as how they built it. It has 3 main compartments: the laptop compartment to contain your laptop, the front compartment to hold your accessories, business card and smartphone, and the back compartment to store your documents or a tablet. Moreover, there are extra pockets in the front compartment so that you can keep your stuffs separately, we don&#8217;t have to worry that they could scratch each other anymore.<\/p>\n<p>Everything fits perfectly in the compact bag, you wouldn&#8217;t believe it. Here is how it holds my 15.6-inch laptop, of course other laptops like the Macbook Pro with 15.4-inch display still fit in the compartment.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3954\" style=\"line-height: 1.714285714; font-size: 1rem;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/Rivacase-8130-Laptop-Bag-3.jpg\" alt=\"Rivacase-8130-Laptop-Bag-3\" width=\"650\" height=\"364\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/Rivacase-8130-Laptop-Bag-3.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/Rivacase-8130-Laptop-Bag-3-300x168.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/Rivacase-8130-Laptop-Bag-2.jpg\" alt=\"Rivacase-8130-Laptop-Bag-2\" width=\"650\" height=\"209\" \/><\/p>\n<p>You can see there are layers made of\u00a0shock-absorbing material, so it will protect your laptop from damages as well as it stays inside the bag.<\/p>\n<p>Besides, the Rivacase 8130 is so lightweight, there are\u00a0padded handles and an adjustable strap with anti-slip shoulder pad.
