Great for the office and biking to work
This bag is a great blend of professional and outdoorsy. It is and looks extremely well made, which makes it appropriate for an office environment. Works really well on the bike - no slipping and a good body hugging fit.

Ideal travel piece
I love the Osprey FlapJill Courier Pack! If you're an outdoorsy or sporty person, this is right up your alley! I purchased the khaki color, which is a little darker than 'bone', but in that color scheme. It therefore wonderfully goes with anything. The bag comes with three colors for the bottom clips - in this case, pink, green, and brown - I'm going green. The design on the front gives it an original flair - girly but not overly girly - and the strap fits comfortably across the body, as to be expected from the renowned brand Osprey. There's an additional waist-strap, which really helps secure the bag, especially if riding a bike or running through an airport, and the top handle is durable for what seems like a lot of weight. All the clips and buckles are lightweight yet utmost quality, fitting with Osprey style.
The main compartment is well-ligned and protected with velcro on the main flap, as well as a drawstring that will help protect insides from the weather. I've yet to test my laptop against the elements, but a drawback is that the flap does not completely secure the insides, so it'd be best to still have the laptop in an additional sleeve. Speaking of the laptop, my 13" macbook, with an additional sleeve, it fits securely inside this bag's laptop compartment, which is separated from the main bag with a small velcro flap. A 15" laptop is definitely the biggest it can hold, and a sleeve would maybe make it too snug. The main compartment is roomy - one could fit a binder and even a water bottle inside, as well as laptop accessories. There are three additional pockets on the front of the bag, two secured with zippers and one with velcro. These provide ample storage space for wallet, phone, snacks, or laptop accessories.
The only bummers (for me) are that there is not water bottle pocket on the outside, but you could put one inside the main pocket (hope against spills) or carabiner it to one of the straps; and there's a chance your laptop could get wet because the main flap and drawstring do not completely secure the inside compartments, but you could protect your laptop with a sleeve.
Overall, I love this bag: the looks, the functionality, and the durability will keep me using this bag for as long as people are still using laptops! :)

Amazing Bag - Defies Gravity
I have been searching for a computer bag that is weather resistant, light weight, and stylish. The Osprey FlapJill totally meets these goals and more!
Some how, the way it is designed, it seems to make my load lighter! The design of this bag continues to amaze me: it really fits a woman's body well.
I got it in the light grey color and I was concerned about it getting dirty. I have had it for a month and so far, it seems fairly dirt resistant.
It fits my macbook pro 13" with room to spare, but it isn't too big either. The pockets are numerous: two external zips and then a whole organization pocket nicely placed. And the flap is a great size, you can clip one size and have it stay closed, but also reach in for a water bottle or something.
One downside, there is no pocket in the back, but I think that might also lead to it being so ergonomically designed.

Feminine and versatile
Seems they thought of everything in this bag. I would prefer if it was a little smaller, but overall very pleased with the pockets, design, straps, etc.
