Great bag, easy to carry

Love the design and all the thought put into it. Can carry my camera around easily now, and have some extra space to put stuff in for my kids at the top. The only think is that while it says it works with 15in laptops, and it kinda does. You really have to shove your laptop in there. Probably some slimmer models would work better, but it is really tight. Can't help it I guess, but still, really tight there.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Purchased as a travel bag, love the side access and adjustable inner shelves however all the other inner and laptop pockets felt very tight w little adjustability. The laptop sleeve felt very awkward when loaded up
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

very nice design (so you can see a lot of "modified copies" on the market).
One thing I wish is that it has the zip flap for inner side pockets just like V1 so my stuffs in those pockets won't flying around

amazing backpack, few things I'd tweak are:

1) the adjustment straps are just dangling from the bag
2) the magnets keeping the shoulder straps attached to the pack when not wearing had come out of their socket and are freely moving under the fabric
3) a little front heavy, it can't stay upright and falls over even when placing it against something heavy.
That's kind of it, either way it's been great so far.

I've been using this bag for a couple months now - primarily as a work and commuting bag. Overall, I'd like to give it a 3.5. Let's start with the good points:
1) lots of thoughtful little pockets and hidden storage,
2) easy to open top compartment,
3) great use of magnets for straps and pockets,
4) usable vertically and horizontally
1) lots of thoughtful little pockets and hidden storage,

Now for what has left me a bit disappointed:
1) It doesn't look great - the material is probably durable but it looks a bit cheap. The black bag is boring - it would have been nice to have the brown accents. The magnetic clip that opens the top pocket is already starting to lose its black coating and I only use it about twice a week for office commuting
2) When traveling with it docked horizontally on a suitcase, the top compartment is almost unusable because stuff can fall out. Trying to access it with he side opening means you need to rummage to find what you want
3) Smaller things in the top pocket can slip past the velcro organisers
4) It's very tight getting a thin laptop and ipad air in the back section - not quick access if you have both

Great overall, with a few small problems

This is a great backpack. The shelf system and the side access is the biggest plus. You can totally stuff your backpack and still access everything in a way that would be almost impossible with a normal backpack. Also, the design is durable and high quality. Plus, the external carry straps and the loops they attach to are very useful. Great to have the option for a little more carrying capacity.
My small complaints are:
The water bottle pockets are a bit tight. I think just a little more stretch in the elastic would make things a lot easier.
A quick-access pocket on the outside of the backpack would be really nice. The pocket in the laptop compartment might serve that purpose, but for me, it's a bit tight to reach in there quickly, especially when the backpack is fully loaded.
The external carry straps are a great feature, but the way they attach to the backpack is a little cumbersome. They are very low profile and I think that's the idea, but it's difficult to get them on and off the loops.
The straps could be more comfortable. I have the 20L, so it never gets too heavy, but a little more padding on the straps would be nice. Also, there should be some dedicated spots on the strap to attach a Capture Clip. I found myself experimenting a bit and I ended up having to cover one of the spots to place the sternum strap (the lowest rung).
The zipper pockets on the side panels are too small. It's hard to reach in there when anything with some width is in the small internal pockets.
I would prefer the laptop compartment to be a little roomier. With a laptop and tablet in their, it gets a little tight.
