How Do You Remove the Laptop Sleeve from the Solo Metropolitan Backpack?

Design: checkpoint-friendly sleeve, TSA-friendly screening
Body: polyester with padded back and shoulder straps

Removable sleeve is genius

I take the sleeve out for airport days and use it solo, then pop it back in for commuting. The organizer pockets keep my pens, cables, and badge all sorted. Best bag I've owned.

Great commuter pack

Roomy without being huge. The checkpoint-friendly sleeve means I don't have to dig my laptop out at security. Straps are comfortable even loaded up.

Very happy

Fits my 16" laptop, lunch, and a sweater. Solid build.

Good but heavier than expected

The build quality is there, but with the sleeve and all the organizers it has some empty weight. Still, it's comfortable to carry and the sleeve is convenient.

Worth every penny

I've been through four backpacks in five years and this one feels like the keeper. The padded sleeve actually protects my laptop instead of just being an afterthought pocket, and having it removable doubles the usefulness. Water bottle pockets on both sides are deep enough for my 32oz bottle. At half off it's honestly a no-brainer.

Nice for grad school

Carries my 16" laptop, notebooks, and snacks across campus daily. The organizer layout means I'm never fishing around for keys.

Professional and practical

As someone in my 50s who refuses to look like a student, this backpack reads professional while still being a backpack. The removable sleeve is a thoughtful touch I use weekly.

Zipper pull broke

Loved the layout but the main zipper pull snapped off within a month. Quality control issue, apparently.

Solid all-rounder

Use it for work and weekend trips. The sleeve fits my 16" machine snugly and the checkpoint-friendly design really does speed up security. Comfortable straps, good price.
