This past July, I traveled to San Francisco, California on a press trip. Since I’m a blogger, there was no question that I was going to take my laptop and my tablet with me on the trip. After all, these are the tools of my trade and I wouldn’t want to be away from home without having access to them.
As I was packing for my trip, I was worried about being able to carry everything safely and without it getting damaged. It was very stressful making sure that all of my electronic devices remained intact throughout the trip. I vowed that, next time I travel, I would have a better solution for carrying them all with organization and flair.
Since my trip, I have learned that Case Logic offers a full line up of backpacks and sleeves for laptops and tablets that send students and travelers back to the classroom and on their travels with functionality, style, comfort and durability. I was extremely impressed by their selection but also by how stylish and vibrant their products are.
Since I have have a red carry-on suitcase, I was looking for a red backpack to match that would house my laptop safely. The Griffith Park Backpack was perfect for me because, not only does it come in red but is also equipped with full electronics protection as well as being lightweight.
Here are some of the awesome features of the Griffith Park Backpack:
- Full electronics capacity with dedicated pockets that fit both a 15.6″ laptop and tablet
- Roomy compartment features organization pockets for connected tech users and integrated key fob as well as space to store
- your daily essentials from notebooks to a change of clothes
- Plush-lined, top loading pocket on back panel keeps phone quickly accessible yet secure between backpack and user
- Soft air mesh padding and lightweight contoured foam back panel with airflow channels create a cool and comfortable carry
- Transition pocket on the bottom provides a convenient place to store bulkier items, such as a power brick during the workday and a jacket or bike lock in your leisure time
- Adjustable sternum strap provides security and comfort
- Front stash pocket allows you to easily retrieve or store frequently used items and secures closed with adjustable, quick-release clip
- Large side pockets provide additional storage for accessories and unzip to fit a water bottle
- Sturdy lash point for carabiner attachment
- Side compression straps keep the backpack at whatever size your day requires
- Strap management system keeps excess strap material rolled up, secured in place and out of your way
What I wasn’t counting on was that my husband was going to love this backpack as well. As you can see from the photos, he thinks he is going to take over it when we travel. Little does he know that I have already fallen in love with it and don’t plan on giving it up without a fight. He’s just going to have to get his own because Case Logic is currently celebrating their 30th anniversary with 30% off all products until October 31st, 2014!

It would make my life easier by actually having a safe way to carry my laptop. Last time I took it on a trip, I wrapped it up in a t-shirt and stuck it in my carry on bag.
I bet my husband would love that. He takes the train in and out of Boston to work every day, so he always has a bag with him filled with snacks, books, his kindle and a bunch of other stuff for his commute.
I love that it is a backpack so you don’t have to worry about balancing a case on top of your suitcase.
My husband could really use this! He travels a lot for work, so having something like this for his electronics would be wonderful.
We always used Case Logic for our computer bags when I worked in IT. They seemed to know exactly what we needed to keep on us at all times.
This would make carry my son’s Chromebook around easier. I’m always afraid of dropping it or losing it as it has all his school work on it.
I could really use this! I do a lot of traveling on public transportation!
I would use it for traveling for work and family vacations.
i would love to use this when we travel, we travel a few times a year. it would also be nice for trips to the zoo or theme parks.
I just used a backpack at the farm yesterday. I’d use it for daytrips and amusement parks.
I am primarily a vlogger, so taking my laptop with me is a MUST as I need someplace to download the content from my phone or camera while we are on the go. This looks like a great pack for personal or work trips and I love that it comes from a company I know and trust.
I have a backpack that I used when I flew to NYC and had my laptop with me. It was perfect! It had a cushioned pocket just for it, and everything else I took fit in their nicely. It also holds a tablet nicely too.
I really could use a backpack for everything I carry for my Laptop. (Mouse, flash drives & cables)
Great giveaway! I haven’t used a backpack in years, but we have started using my sons for outings that will be long. 6 kids = lots of things to bring! This looks like a great backpack!
What a cool backpack! Whenever we travel, we put our electronics in a standard backpack, and I always worry that it doesn’t have the proper support for our laptop and tablet. I think the Griffith Park Backpack would be a great addition to our travel gear as I’ll worry less about any damage to our electronics. Thanks for a great giveaway!
the Case Logic Griffith Park Backpack make your life and traveling easier because I always have “stuff” I need to take with me. My hands and sometimes pockets are always full and having a bag like this I could possibly even con the kids into carrying it all. 🙂
This backpack would make travelling and even daily commute to school easier! I could easily pack my laptop, phone, and I might purchase a tablet, with all of their cords safely packed away, along with any books and supplies that I need as well. This backpack looks like a must for EVERYONE in today’s technologically advanced world!
This would be great to have, especially on small overnight trips or even a hiking trip. It seems like it is of great quality not only that great style.
I didn’t know that case logic had backpacks. I have 2 different packs in different sizes. I don’t know what I would do without them when traveling
That looks like a really nice backpack. My daughter would love this. Amber N
I love Case Logic. I have several of their products. This one looks awesome!
This looks like a very detailed bag, great for trips. Will have to keep this in mind even though I don’t travel with a laptop, we have tablets and a bunch of other gadgets.
Oh my gosh, my husband and I would totally fight over this backpack as well. But I would have to let him use it when he commutes into the city!
Great giveaway! I could so use this right now. I carry my laptop around in a plastic bag. Don’t laugh. 🙂
What a great bag, it is so well thoughts out and carries so much! Perfect for so many situations. x
My husband works about 17 hours away from home, and having a great pack is something he needs to keep organized.
Capacity as well as security is important. It looks like caselogic has a good fit.
I could see this being a life saver on busy theme park trips or days when I’m away from the home! I need to pack my planner, camera, and other goodies!
This would make my life easier because it’s bigger than a purse, smaller than a backpack and can easily be slung on my back or shoulder. It’d be great for travel because it’s easy-to-spot red.
What a great backpack. I have a hard time finding a bag to fit all my devices for when I travel. This looks like it would be better than a crossbody or shoulder style bag.
I worry about my kids carrying their laptops around at school. This would be a perfect bag for them. I like the stylish design.
I use a backpack for my laptop when I travel and love it! I tried so many different things before that, but it’s the only thing that really worked.
Pretty cool backpack! Good luck with the giveaway!
Oh fantastic! We definitely need one (or two) of those at our house!
Looks like a really nice spaces backpack. My son would love to have one of those those for college.
I love the laptop sleeve portion. My concern is always about laptops jingling around inside of a backpack and getting damaged. Looks like a great product.
What a great giveaway! I have boys and we are always on the go. When they go to their friends homes they like to take their devices so this would make it alot easier for transporting.
I would give it to my son. He is in highschool and carries so many books that his bags dont last long.
We would use it to carry our laptop when we travel.
It would be super useful for my daughter. Between traveling and going to college, she’s always looking for a good backpack that will last a while.
I could use it to go back and forth to work. So I can travel with my tabelt and everything else I need.
The backpack would be great to take it to work. I usually carry my purse, a bag, and my lunch bag which all could fit in the backpack and carry one thing instead of 3 different things.
I take the bus daily to/from work and walk about a mile to my building from the bus stop. Rather than using the current shoulder bag that I carry, this would give me a more even balance in weight and allow me to walk easier
this would make traveling a lot easier with all the space. i would use this for my laptop
This would help me put my son’s paperwork, homework, iPad and clothes all in one place. I like that it also has small places with zippers to put tissues, hand sanitizers and snacks
It would make life a little better for me because I could carry extra things around that I need during the day. Looks like a high quality backpack
This backpack could make life easier for my nephew. The adjustable straps would make it more comfortable and the different sections can help keep him organized.
This would really help me keep things organized and I could carry everything I need in one place. It would also be nice to not worry about having to carry a separate tablet with the case.
This Backpack Would Make My Life Easier During My Outings, I live in Philadelphia, PA where our public transportation is my main source of getting to and fro. I am currently 5 months pregnant with my 2nd child, my oldest being 2 (going on 12.) I could use it as my diaper bag rather than having an over the shoulder bag which would be Ideal for convenience.
I too take my laptop on many a flight during the year and often worry about its safety and the ease of removing it for security purposes.
I’d love to use this for my son for school next year. He’ll be starting middle school, which is a big change for him. I’d love to make sure he stays organized and doesn’t have to struggle to bring everything he needs with him!

Oh my gosh, this would make my life so much easier!! I haul a lot of stuff to work everyday. I love the look of this one and the compartments!
We travel to Turkey every other year to visit family. Our sons are 5 and 7 and need to carry spare clothes, toys, shoes, etc and need a sturdy backpack! This would be perfect!
I would love to have this backpack for when we travel to visit family and friends which we do often. It would be great for holding our laptop, tablet and attachments so that we don’t have to disturb their computers.

This would be perfect for me to take my notebook misc and laptop all with me love the design
My son is all into the ‘survival’ camping stuff so I would win this for him. I have a 15 in’ tablet that would fit perfectly in this bag so if I win it and like it then I will probably buy another one. Thanks for the great giveaway!
The Case Logic Griffith Park Backpack would make my life easier by keeping everything together. And by keeping everything safe. As it is now, I’m scattered and disorganized.
