After introducing its flagship smartphone Z10 which was criticized for its sky high introductory price of Rs 43,990, BlackBerry is all set to roll out its new Q10 model in India on June 6. The official Twitter handle of Canadian smartphone manufacturer for India announced the arrival of BlackBerry Q10 in India and also posted an image of the QWERTY keyboarded touting Q10.
However, the smartphone pioneer, BlackBerry, has refrained from giving any hint related to the expected price tag of the model. Even though the price is not announced, the Q10 has already made entry on the e-commerce portals. You can place your order for the phone at Snapdeal, an e-commerce website, at a paltry sum of Rs 1000 as an advance payment. According to the various media reports, the Q10 can cost you anywhere between Rs 28,000 and Rs 30,000.
BlackBerry Q10 and Z10 were unveiled together but Q10 has been late in hitting the US and other major markets. The device has received positive feedbacks from users at Canada and UK where the device is already available for sale. According to market analysis, BlackBerry Q10 is enjoying huge sales in UK and Canada.
The Q10 boasts a 3.1 inch Super AMOLED touch screen with crystal clear 720 x 720 p resolution with superior pixel density of 328 ppi. The device runs on latest BlackBerry 10 platform that gives you amazing performance. The device has dual core 1.5 GHz processor along with 2 GB RAM and internal storage capacity of 16 GB which is extendable with a micro SD card of up to 64 GB. To save you from hassles of typing on a touch screen keyboard, BlackBerry Q10 has a QWERTY keyboard placed below the screen which has been loved and admired by BlackBerry users since its inception.
Q10 offers a wide range of connectivity options including Wi-Fi, 2G, 3G, Bluetooth 4.0, NFC, 4G and micro USB 2.0.
The smartphone comes with an 8 mega pixel camera with flash as rear camera and 2 MP as front camera to ensure you never miss out on memories worth cherishing. Q10 also boasts of an amazing battery life with 2100 mAh battery capable of supporting up to 10 hours of talk time. BlackBerry has also come up with Q10 Battery Charger Bundle which goes a long way in helping you get rid of your battery life woes.
BlackBerry is toiling hard to regain its top slot in the race of smartphone manufacturers. It has introduced its new and upgraded platform by the name of BlackBerry 10 which it claims is faster than its predecessors. The Canadian smartphone manufacturer has also recently come up with EMI scheme for users planning to buy its curve 9220 and Z10 models in India to provide relief from exorbitant prices. However, a lot needs to be done as BlackBerry failed to figure in the top 3 slot of smartphone manufacturers in India.

Houses of Hospitality will deliver the powerful message of welcome and inclusivity to a generation and it will make churches a central part of the service movement, which is where it needs to be. All it takes is a desire to do it and the decision to follow through. It is called the Gospel.

A year from now, let's have more than 100 congregations and other groups follow Wesley Seminary's lead and gather folks around the table for food, fellowship and conversation.
The mere hour or so that churches have with children and teens on a weekly basis -- and unburdened by any need to drill and test -- is too precious to waste on merely religious education.
Christianity often forgets that our main man was a single, 30-something-year-old man. While his family was still a part of his life, his central support system was his friends and followers. So why is there such a large disconnect between single young adults and Mainline Protestantism?
I'm 23, recite the Creed without crossing my fingers, and think seriously and critically about my faith. Furthermore, not only am I in seminary to be an ordained minister, but -- GASP! -- I'm also doing so in a mainline denomination. How can this be? It defies all logic!

It seems that everywhere you look today, "the church," especially within historic traditions, is talking about reaching that ever-elusive young adult demographic. Sometimes it feels like we are on some National Geographic safari trying to observe and conserve some rare creature.
Global emissions need to peak during the next presidential term, yet neither candidate is talking about what they will do to address the greatest moral challenge of our time. Into this leadership vacuum steps a group of young people.
It will be instructive to see how these American religious bodies navigate the coming sea change on attitudes led by their younger American members toward more inclusive policies.
The Christian Church should -- and is beginning to -- change its political tune. For the sake of our faith and the sake of the Gospel, the Church needs such a shift -- and we need it now.
There is still a significant interest in, and pursuit of, a life following the path lived out and described by Jesus. We younger adults are starving for the very community we're wary of.
Unthinking religious leaders have made it out to be an either/or prospect: Either accept that Scripture is as much a science book as it is a spiritual book or the entirety of the Bible's reliability as a spiritual guide is in question.
American churches should stop fawning over young people like me. The fact that I and my demographic are so idealized bespeaks a profound, if often unintentional, ageism.
In the name of protecting Christianity from a secularism perceived as corrosive to the faith, the creationists are unwittingly driving the best and brightest evangelicals out of the church.

Soft-mindedness and hard-heartedness are afoot in America, even in the Church. In the spirit of Rev. Martin Luther King, let us redouble our effort to love intently and think critically.

Today I spent some time and did some simulations on the power amps I have built and in the process of rebuilding. The ISP and VAS stages use current sources and cascodes as usual, and the OPS stage uses L-MOSFETs source follower.
The following are the result:
20Hz -> -69dB
50Hz -> -68dB
100Hz -> -67dB
200Hz -> -66dB
500Hz -> -63dB
1,000Hz -> -59dB
2,000Hz -> -56dB
5,000Hz -> -45dB
10,000Hz -> -39dB
20,000Hz -> -33dB
50,000Hz -> -25dB
100,000Hz -> -19dB
200Hz -> (unable to measure)
500Hz -> -101dB
2,000Hz -> -78dB
20,000Hz -> -57dB
I am not sure how accurate the models are as I got them from a friend. The figures are a bit rough but are indicative.
With the above simulation results, I have come up with a passive LCR filter to be installed for the front end (i.e. IPS and VAS) rails, which will achieve -44dB at 20Hz and much better higher up. This will make the front end to have better than -110dB PSRR in the entire audio band.
For the OPS rail, in order to achieve -110dB PSRR I need the power supply to provide -53dB. In other words, the power supply impedance at 20kHz must be 0.00224R or lower. This will be very difficult to achieve. Using 14 x Rubycon ZLJ 680uF/100V close to the output L-MOSFETs on a power and ground plane may help achieve this figure. But I think that the two layer PCB is very difficult to design. I don't think I can make that number. If I can manage to have the impedance seen by the L-MOSFETs to be 0.01R then I would be achieving only -93dB at 20kHz.
But before we go any further, we must first establish what total PSRR (20Hz to 20kHz) of an amplifier is necessary for good sound. I have had no ideas at all and came up with only an arbitary number of -110dB. -140dB was previously suggested by others.
I hope you guys can continue the discussions and come up with something. I will be away overseas from tomorrow and will be back in May.

This post'll be buried by May, but the main piece you're missing is the control loop will attenuate output stage errors by its excess loop gain. Provided control loop is implemented with sufficient PSRR that it's own "noise" floor with respect to ripple on the rails is low enough for it to see those errors. In a traditional discrete power amp with Miller compensation and ~25dB gain achieving 50+dB excess loop gain at 20kHz is not trivial. This is part of the reason why people find audible differences in current feedback amps and feedforward compensation. A simpler solution's to use an IC with good GBP; 50MHz parts like the LME49710 and LME49811 have about 70dB loop gain at 20kHz.
The other piece is the analysis I linked some pages back in this thread, which yields required PSRR as a function of bypass capacitance. For practical reservoir sizes, typical amp quiescent currents, and typical signal levels the supply ripple will be around 30dB larger than the signal. So upwards of 90dB PSRR in the control loop is wanted through some combination of filtering, regulation (usually more attractive than filters), and the control devices' own PSRR. 110dB is not a bad default as 90dB is arguably rather minimal. 140dB is overkill but trivial to achieve on paper when using IC regulators and control devices. In practice, laying out a PCB to hit an O(100nV) noise floor is not so easy and quiet control devices in a loop with low noise gain are needed (LME49990 or AD797 at unity gain, for example).

Twest820, Thanks for your post. I will fly tonight but before that I will come back here when I can.
My amp uses two pole Miller compensation. The amp has a close loop gain of just over 30dB. OLG is 87dB at 100Hz and falls down to 70dB at 20kHz. So it has 40dB excess loop gain at 20kHz. I don't know if that is good enough. I don't have the knowledge and skills for amplifier design and I only play with other stuff like power supply, etc. Is the amp good enough? or poor?
I derived the above listed figures in close loop so I think they should include everything, such as feedback correction, etc. I created two perfect DC sources, one for the front end and the other for the backend, and created a voltage source of 8V peak to peak in varying frequencies and put it directly on the rail, separated by small R and H from the original perfect DC sources. I then injected the maximum allowable signal before clipping (1.8V) at 10Hz at the input of the amplifier and then checked the ripples on the output of the amplifier. The noise at the output then compared to the rail noise of 8V.

twest820, how right you are!!!!!!!
I have just tested my passive filter for the front end. While it does a great job of eliminating ripples from the rails, it does not work well because of the loads and the filter's impedance generating its own ripples.
So now I will need to look hard to find a 3 terminal regulator that does +/-90VDC.

@HiFiN - not to rain on your parade but why terminate your PSRR analysis at 20kHz? Since the rail currents are haversines for a classAB amp, there are going to be plenty of harmonics above 20kHz on the supply. I reckon those get inside the control loop when PSRR is inadequate and will introduce IMD, greying out the perceived sound

Of course, I may be wrong here because perhaps the low impedance is needed until the unity gain point of the amplifier?

Are there any 3 terminal regs supporting +/-90VDC rails at low current?

For the positive rail there's also the TL783. And the dual positive topology if you've a winding available.

Personally, as a rough guide I would want to see good behaviour of the power supply up to 200kHz, do everything in your power to minimise the supply's impedance as seen by the appropriate parts leads up to at least that frequency. Remember, audio amplifiers start to fall apart above the audio band, but that's exactly where the FB mechanisms need to function correctly, and that's not going to be helped by the voltage rails glitching at those critical frequencies ...

I want to run on +/-85VDC rails for the sub (20Hz -50Hz) and woofers (50Hz - 180Hz twin 10 inch drivers 3.5R). I will be running 4 way active speakers that require 4 pairs of power amplifiers.
The Maida does not seem to be the best fit for me.
The TL783 is interesting. I don't know if it would and how well it would work with negative rail. I prefer the standard instead of LDO, as the output of the LDO is pretty much affected by capacitance.
Any other options?

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! Contact us, or contact another local humane society, animal shelter or SPCA.
Humane Society office hours:
Monday-Friday 11 am to 3 pm
Pre-adoption questionnaire
Please remember that adopting an animal is a SERIOUS commitment. Animals may take several weeks or months to settle into their new environment. They cost money and require lots of attention and love. Please, seriously consider your decision to adopt. Sadly, too many animals are adopted and returned simply because folks didn't think adoption through enough. We highly suggest that you research what is best for you and your family so the adoption experience is a positive and lasting one for you and the animal you adopt.
I understand I must be 18 years of age and will provide the information requested before I agree to adopt an animal from the LaGrange Troup County Humane Society. I understand that an adoption contract will be filled out and signed, clearly stating that the Humane Society has the right to investigate the home and will remove the animal if it is not receiving adequate care; if it is being endangered by lack of veterinary care; if there is a violation of the adoption agreement or if there has been a failure to observe the anti-cruelty laws.
Do you rent or own your home?
Is there a fenced in yard?
If no, how will you house and exercise the dog?
If you rent, are you allowed to have a pet?
Is there a restriction on what type or weight of pet allowed?
If yes, what are the restrictions?
Do you have children?
If so, what are their ages?
Have you ever surrendered a pet?
If yes, when and why?
Do you own another pet now?
If so what type and age are they?
The Humane Society asks that if you have children or other pets (dogs) that you bring them to meet the animal you are interested in adopting before making that adoption.
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder? When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.

WE live in the Austin Hill country Spicewood ,Texas where I am an active realtor at Realty Austin. I sell everything from Ranches to Homes to Commercial to Beach Houses in Port A so Happy to Help if you are looking to buy.
My Husband grew up in Missouri and owns Lonestar Excavating so he plays in the dirt. He Builds Roads, Golf Courses, Lakes, Ponds, Building Pads and such.
Owner purchased this house in 2006
We take great pride in our beach house and love being there when we can. I am always striving to make it better for my guests. This year we put reclaimed wood floors up the steps and upstairs so no more carpet. Check out the new colors upstairs.
We are around the corner from and to the Beach at 11th and Beach Access Road 1.Easy to get to the beach or town. Great area for golf carts Leave your car home and Golf Cart around the Island.
The house was great and had plenty of room. Came with a bbq pit, beach chairs, towels, and so much more. The beach is just around the corner...just a minute drive. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone.
A slightly older house but lots of room. Upstairs bedrooms are a little small with only 1 bathroom, but it worked out fine. Big kitchen and plenty of room for everyone downstairs.
The house was great!! Very roomy for two families to stay in! Easy access to beach and maybe only a 2-3 minute walk to beach :) I would recommend this property to any of my friends and family. We will definitely be staying at Cindy's home again!!
Great location, very nice owners, lots of conveniences, very roomy, king bed, large tub and shower in master bath, nice furniture and bedding, new tv, big garage, fenced yard, quiet, close to beach and shopping. We had a perfectly wonderful time with just a few minor issues.
The only thing not to our liking was the visible mold in various places. For someone allergic to mold, I'd recommend renting a newly constructed home. With the super high humidity I'm sure mold is a constant battle in any structure that is not brand new. This home did not appear to be old at all but did show some minor wear and tear. The downstairs guest bath sprung a leak after the upstairs shower was used. A cabinet door in the kitchen was broken but my husband was able to fix it with his trusty tool box and a spare screw. The kids loved the double size bunk beds, and tho we were a little nervous about the low height of the guard rail, no one fell out. The power went out one evening for 30-40 min for the whole block for no apparent reason, which was a little inconvenient but not earth shattering.
The yard is fenced but has no grass. Our tiny dog kept looking for grass (lol) and could easily escape under the fence so she was not able to just be let out. There is a washer and dryer but we did not use them. The garage is large but super hot so we just left the car outside. The mosquitos are huge and love to sneak in whenever a door is opened, but that would happen at any location. The beach was packed sand you can drive on, very large and very flat. The water was warm and we loved it! Lots and lots of wind and waves, end of May, and we also got to experience the fun of sea lice. Eek! But that was just one day out of the 3 we went to the beach.
The ferry was fun, we loved Irina's Kitchen, the huge shrimp and the shopping. Owners were easy to reach and quick to respond. Really fun vacation spot.
This is a beautiful home. It is close to the beach. The owners are great and right on top of things. We will be staying at this place again in the future!!
we stayed at the house for two nights. House was clean and close enough to the beach, but I wouldn't say walking distance. It has enough room to sleep ten people although we didn't use the pull out bed, we instead brought an inflatable mattress. We would definitely stay there again.

Thanks!Aug 15, 2012 at 10:13 pm #1903129
Anyone have any experience with these shoes? Look promising…

I have wondered this same question, Austin. I took my chaco Z1's (without toe strap) for years and used them for water crossing and camp shoes. I finally decided they were to heavy. I asked around and someone told me to try the 5 fingers but like you said, I want something with socks and not the ones you have to have the toe socks for. I was advised to try crocks and water shoes. I went to Walmart and got some $5 water shoes that did GREAT in Colorado as a camp and water crossing shoe but they were still heavier than i wanted. I must say they did have good grip and dried extremely fast.
Someone else told me to try Crocks. They said they were decent in the water, comfortable and you could wear them on the way home after backpacking. Anyone with experience with Crocks?
Andrew had a good idea with the barefoot style trail running shoe. I might try that as well.Aug 16, 2012 at 7:02 am #1903181
VivoBarefoot Ultra Pure. Fantastic, lightweight, great grip in water, exceptionally comfortable. I even used them for a bit of rock scrambling on my recent Sierra trip. Best camp shoe out there, in my opinion.Aug 16, 2012 at 9:34 am #1903213
The Ultra Pures look nice! I currently use a pair of Patagonia Advocates that have served me well and are quite light. They're better suited for cooler weather (as they lock in a lot of heat), but work great all around.
Are the Ultra Pures 3.7oz total or is that per shoe? Seem like a nice light shoe that you wouldn't have to worry about having to let dry.Aug 16, 2012 at 10:23 am #1903231

I hike in trail runners and don't change for stream crossings, so my camp shoes are exactly that, just for camp. I don't want to have to tie or buckle shoes in camp; just slip on, barefoot or with socks. Crocs are perfect for me and they're always dry, which is a must since my trail runners can be wet. The croc knock-offs are lighter than the real thing. (7oz for the pair for woman's size 8)Aug 16, 2012 at 4:15 pm #1903323
Thanks guys, I hike everything in my fivefingers so just looking for something around camp when I want to put on my warm socks, fingers are fine when it's warm out. Those Patagonia ones look nice.
Croc users…aren't they kind bulky to bring along in the bag? Thanks!Aug 16, 2012 at 4:30 pm #1903329

I've used Crocs for years but am trying a pair of Under Armour soccer slides that are quite a bit lighter. They work in bare feet or with socks; I sized up for comfort. They crush flatter than crocs–easier for side pockets.
I am away from camera and scale so don't have weight or pics for you yet. They have worked perfectly this season. Cabella's, Sportsman's Warehouse, The Soccer Shop, etc.
For ultra-light I am going to try a pair of hospital booties. They won't hold up to heavy use but will work to keep dirt and sap off easily. (Even doubled up they weigh less than one sock.) And they may work for fire starter… Will break out the BBQ bucket to test this weekend.
Any brand of slide would work. This is UA's URL for pics.

"3.7 oz per shoe, but easy to lighten to around 3 oz per shoe."
What shoe size weights in at 3.7oz? I take it your talking about removing the modular tongue to reduce the weight?Aug 17, 2012 at 9:48 am #1903515
What shoe size weights in at 3.7oz? I take it your talking about removing the modular tongue to reduce the weight?
A size 41. And yes, removing the tongue brings it down to 3.25 oz. without really affecting the performance of the shoe. You could also replace the bungee laces with something much lighter to pare that weight down even further if you so wished.Aug 17, 2012 at 11:37 am #1903537
Thanks for all your help and info! Looks like I found my new summer time camp/water crossing shoe!

We're just back from a week in the Sierra, with a lot of rain, some chilly mornings, day hikes and plenty of rock-hopping and lake wading. For our camp shoes, my son and I used pseudo-Croc's that are molded to look like Keen sandals and were $6 and $8 at Walmart. These have a side-velcro, unlike a Keen, and low "street tread", rather than the cleats that my Keens have.
They're light, but have adequate cushion to hike in (I hiked about 2 miles in them one day) and easily work with socks. On chilly evenings or in the morning, they're excellent. For traction on wet rocks, they were pretty darn good and the minimal tread they have didn't leave much in terms of marks on the lake bottoms. They shake dry and don't seem to absorb water.
If we weren't on-trail with packs on, we were in the Croc-offs and they were not only excellent but will clearly last several more trips. We both strapped them to the outside of our packs.

I was a skeptic...not anymore!I am a believer. I saw the hype about this pack, and thought it was a joke - well, it is not.
My job has me on the go all the time - I work as a real estate consultant.
This pack is simply the best. I constantly have to be in and out of the office, ready to pull listings for prospects or clients, even staff of our brokerage - this pack does the job so well, it's ridiculous. My lunch bag, computer (13 Inch Macbook Air), iPad, note books, chargers, and everything else that I need for work fits perfectly. My life has been simplified for the better. If you are on the go - whether for travel or work - this is the bag for you. It is worth the investment.

Awesome BackpackI'm coming from Thule Crossover 32L and ICON is by far best backpack. I like everything in order and this Backpack help me to accomplish this, I can put all my notebooks I need in here a lot space. perfect backpack for tech guy the only issue I have is that I like to carry a bottle water around campus and this backpack doesn't have pocket on the sides to do so, besides that this backpack is awesome, I just wish incase had put a pocket for caring a bottle on the side because is annoying to put my bottle inside and the have to take out that's the only reason why I can't give them a 5 start rating.

Pockets for days!There is a pocket for almost everything. Love the comfy pocket for my laptop. The tablet pocket is nice too and fits my nexus 7. The pack is also super comfortable for long wears.
I wish the tablet pocket was the same material as the laptop pocket. A water bottle pocket would a nice addition.

My Daily DriverI replaced my Incase ICON bag from 2006 with this newer version. Having used the old one for almost 10 years I had pretty high expectations on the quality and my expectations were still exceeded.
The quality of this bag is outstanding. The bag maintains it's shape even when it's empty, unlike most bags that turn into a pile of empty fabric. The rigid foamy back protects my laptop when I throw it in my entry way at the end of every day. It also has a great felt like lining that keeps my macbook polished to a nice shine. There are pockets for every accessory imaginable. The side pocket works great with Incase's Portable Power 2500 as it has a little port for running a charging wire out of. This was really handy while at the airport to have some extra juice to play games while waiting for my plane and not worrying about forgetting the charger.

Awesome with one caveatThe bag is awesome all around. But for the price I would have loved to see an added pocket to hold a drink or a hydro flask. Perhaps they didn't want to add one since this is geared towards protecting your laptop and other electronics but I just feel like a drink holder would have completed this bag.

OutstandingBought my first MacBook Pro last summer, and was in search of the perfect backpack, for not only it, but for the plethora of other stuff I am always schlepping around; iPad, battery pack, cables, glasses, snacks, etc.
I found the perfect backpack in the Incase ICON Pack. Not only is it truly functional, but it's sharp looking too, and people always ask where I got it, including Apple Store employees.

Moss GreenGreat backpack, no complaints whatsoever thus far. Stores everything I need for daily carry/commute - and some things I don't. Haven't taken it on a trip yet but I imagine it will work great. It's not quite big enough to replace my long weekend type duffle bag but I didn't purchase it for this weekend. It could definitely serve as an overnight bag however.
I really like the room this bag offers, the ability to stand up on its own, water resistance (though not advertised), and the organization of the pockets and compartments. Also, customer service is fantastic. The backpack arrived halfway across the country in just 4 business days.

Best backpack I have ever recievedIn the past few weeks I have ordered incases Icon Backpack in Navy, heather grey dopp kitt, icon phone case and I have more stuff on the way!! But the Icon Backpack has everything I could possibly imagine! It absolutely holds everything I need!! I bought the backpack for my Disney Wedding & Honeymoon coming up and it holds everything we need for our trip.
2 battery banks
2 instant cameras
Rain Jacket
13 inch MacBook Pro
2 iPad Mini's (I wish the iPad slot was bigger to hold iPad Pro)
All of our charging cords for all of our devices this thing really does it all. If you are in the market for a tech bag don't look any further this is the best bag you can buy!!
The shoulder straps are great with all day comfort,
The cell phone pocket I'm able to fit a iPhone 6 Plus with a case and a iPhone 7 plus with a case also in there with my screen cleaners. This bag seriously does everything!!!

LOVE the ICON!I did a lot of research looking for the "perfect" tech backpack. Read reviews on YouTube, Facebook and eventually went with the ICON.
I needed a backpack that could "stand" on its own. Most of the tech backpacks aren't rigid enough or don't have the base to do this and just flop over. I didn't want my stuff to spill out.
Being a musician, the ICON is perfect for carrying my laptop and/or iPad, iPhone and a small mixer. The pockets with the velcro'd flaps are perfect for protecting my video camera and mp3 recorder. And there's still a lot of room for misc. cables!
I've had it for about a month now and it still looks new.
There's 1 feature I would like to see added. I knew this before buying it but I would love to have the interior a lighter color perhaps grey.
Other than that, I highly recommend the ICON backpack. Because it stands, it also serves as a good standing drumstick bag!

Incase Icon BackpackThis is the most expensive backpack I've ever owned but the most feature pack and most comfortable to use. I'm very satisfied with the quality of this bag. It can accommodate all my hard earned gadgets including DSLR, Macbook Pro, iPad, GoPro and few accessories. The materials are top quality. I highly recommend Incase products to my friends.

Awesome for travel, not so great for daily use.Light weight, resistant, keeps your gadgets safe. I gave it a try a couple of months for my job, but I'm not really satisfied. First of all, it's huge. I'm 5' 3" so it looks disproportionate on me. Also, It takes a lot of space in small areas, like a car seat/floor/locker. I only use it to carry my laptop, 2 small notebooks, pens, usbs, my wallet and a small make up bag so that's pretty much what you can put in, which is unfair because it looks so big,
It will get super tight if you put something else, like a camera or a sweater. Which makes it really uneasy to take stuff out, up to the point it feels forced and it kinda hurts since the divisions between each compartment are so thin that if you fill one of the pockets, it will invade the space for the other section of the backpack. I guess it could be great for travel. It will protect your devices greatly, but since it's considerably big I have my thoughts in terms of space. It's so big yet so small inside. I wish it were more spacious (wider) inside.

Almost perfect.I'm using my ICON bagpack for about a year and it's perfect! Exept 4 small things I really miss:
1. Raincover. It often rains in my hometown, so a raincover is a must.
2. Chest buckle. When it's not buckled, you cannot attach it to the shoulser strap. When you put the bag on the floor, it's easy to stap on the chest buckle ande break it.
3. No facility to carry a water bottle.
4. Compartment with special protection for sunglasses.

Great backpackI was looking for a backpack that was sturdy and would hold a 13" laptop and an iPad Pro with a cover and a keyboard, along with various cables and plugs, a small notebook, wireless mouse, and a file folder or two. This backpack will hold all of that and it's comfortable to carry. My only complaint is that I can't really get my iPad Pro in the dedicated pocket. I had to put in inside the pack. The smart phone pocket is also a tight squeeze for the iPhone 6 plus with a case. If the iPad section was a little bigger and the phone pocket was little bigger, this bag would be totally perfect.

Travel / WorkLet me start off by saying this is the BEST bag i have ever owned, the minute incase annoced it on instagram i was hooked but not sold i did my research and found similar bags from other companies but none with the build quility of this bag. It has a compartment for all of my random gadgets that get me threw my day to day life. As a cineamatographer / editor i needed a bag that could fit my laptop a few hard drives and my g16 among other things. but the beauty of this bag is if i want to i can use all the nice padded pockets for lenses and bodies making this bag work as my commuter bag but also a small camera bag in a cinch. i recommend this bag to anyone who wants to stay organized, look stylish, but also have long lasting comfort .

Incase ICON PackThis is the 2nd incase backpack that I now own. Before incase, I would go through a pack every 6 months due to travel, going to work, just all around wear and tear. My last Incase pack lasted me 3 years (constant traveling with a full bag), and was worth every penny. I only trust incase with my Apple products and this incase ICON pack is perfect for taking all of your devices to any location, safely. I have dropped the bag many times with my 15in retina inside and there have been 0 problems. The price is very fair for the protection!

ICON BackpackI've only had the pack for about two weeks and so far I LOVE IT. However, I expected to love it.
What I didn't expect was to quickly become a champion of the service Incase offers.
I was looking to pick up the Icon pack prior to a NYC and CHI trip. However, I failed to order it until the last minute. The website said you can expect your order to be processed in 1-2 business days.
I placed my order close to midnight on a Wednesday. At best, I figured I could expect my order to be processed the following Monday. I was leaving for my trip on Sunday. Even the expedited shipping options clearly indicated there were no Saturday deliveries. My poor planning had me convinced the soonest I would receive my would be after I returned from my trip.
I meant to call the customer service number the next morning (Thursday) but forgot. Around 2pm EST I received an email with my tracking information. My pack was processed and ready to ship less than 12 hours after I ordered it. On a whim I called the customer service number and asked if there was any possible way change my shipping option. By now you can see where this is going.
I created urgency for someone else due to my own poor planning. The gentleman I spoke to went out of his way to verify my package was still in the warehouse. He took my cell phone number and called me with 30 minutes so I could approve the change in shipping charges and provided me with a tracking number. The bag arrived Friday and was quickly loaded up with everything I would be lugging with me (15 inch MacBook Pro, Mouse, 2 Moleskin notebooks, 2 external hard drives, glasses, power cord and brick, earbuds, sync cable and charger, pens, business cards, and assorted misc. items with plenty of room to spare). I was impressed with how easily everything was accommodated. The pack was extremely comfortable and well balanced. I literally covered over 5 miles running around the city on my first day in NYC and was never uncomfortable. I have no reason to believe this won't be the best pack I've ever purchased.

Best brand everSo I've purchased multiple bags from INCASE and after purchasing the icon pack I could not have been happier. I use my icon pack for day to day work and I use my EO travel pack for the gym. I always get asked where I got my bags... Always. Thank you INCASE for always making such excellent products and I will be a loyal INCASE customer till the day I can't carry a bag anymore.

Legit!I used to use lopro camera back... for school/everyday use. The Icon bag has way more space and compartments. I have had it about a year and half. After using it for about a year I found another secret pocket. there's pocket's everything! Like I said I've had it a year and it doesn't look like it! Shows very little signs of wear. I love the side pockets and the top easy access pocket. It ways it holds 15' laptop, but it holds my discontinued 17' Macbook Pro nice and snug. I love it. The only thing I would switch it for is maybe a different model incase bag, just because incase is so good!

ICON Incase PackI've only had it for a few weeks and so far it is an extremely durable, sleek looking, functional backpack. I work 40 hours and do school full time so I need something that can carry everything for everything I do throughout the day. It has a space for everything, and as long as you remember where that is (at first I kept losing stuff in it. SO MANY POCKETS) you will be golden. I would recommend this to anyone who needs a very durable useful backpack. If you don't carry a lot of stuff or gadgets with you, you probably don't need this specific one.

the top pocket.I love this backpack. I'm a law student and am able to fit everything I need for a full day at law school (yes i'm talking multiple casebooks). Only one thing I really would suggest changing. The little top pocket near the front with the felt lining for small items (i.e. phone or keys or glasses, etc.). needs to be sowed on to the inside of the backpack instead of dangling free. Anytime I have my keys and wallet in there it gets in the way of taking anything out of the main pocket. I am forced to have to push that back through before i can take anything out. It's a fabulous backpack but I honestly think that is the one thing it needs.

Great Pack for the Digital DJI purchased this awesome bag about a month ago in Gray. Just an FYI, the Gray is not as bright it looks in the Pics above. There is a lot of flash in those pics. But that doesn't bother me.
First let me say I am a big fella, I am 6' and weigh in at 270. I am also a Professional Mobile Dj. I gig everything from Weddings to Clubs to and Bar Mitzvah's to Yoga Raves. I use quite a bit of different equipment depending on the job. I have spent at least $600 on other various packs altogether. I love this one the most and, this bag is great for throwing whatever I need into it. And its very comfy and stylish. I have had other backpacks with a sternum strap but they were not adjustable like this one, and this one actually fits my frame. So it is Big Fella recommended.
When I use my Pioneer DDJ-SR it carries everything (except the controller), from my cables to my MBP, an action cam, spare batteries, everything. It also fits the Akai AMX very nicely right in the bag which is great for plane travel. You could put a Serato SL Unit in one of the pockets easily and the side pocket for a phone charger is perfect.
I am also a Dad so all the extra pockets work great for a couple diapers, a pack of wipes and some hand sanitizer. Maybe even a small stuffed animal ;)
For me the only flaw is when I DJ with Timecode Vinyl and Turn Tables. I feel most comfortable DJ'ing on my Technics and this bag is not wide enough to carry a set of Records and Slipmats.
All in all the ICON is getting 5 stars from this guy. I can tell this will last a quite awhile!
By WowReport offensive review5 of 8 people found this review helpfulThis backpack is incredible. I had an incase backpack that I received as a gift a few years ago that still looks brand new after using it every day for almost 2 years. Moving up to a bigger bag that can carry more gear, and this backpack has not disappointed.
I got my bag in red and the pop of color is awesome! I pack this bag to the brim and I don't worry about my new MacBook Pro and it's safety. I use this bag to carry daily:
- 15" Touchbar MacBook Pro
- iPad mini
- Akai miniMPK portable midi keyboard
- DJI Osmo Mobile
- Over ear headphones
- Nimbus game pad
- AppleTV gen 3
- An assortment of random cables in a cable bag in the main compartment of the bag
- Work t-shirt
- a bottle of excedrin (a must have)
I can also fit a Native Instruments Maschine MK1 in the bag if I lose the Osmo, and that is no small feat! The compartments are all very nicely lined and the bag just looks incredible. I work at an Apple Store and all my friends at work are constantly impressed by how quality the bag looks and feels. A few of them have actually ordered one for themselves as well!
Highly recommended.

Great Design but PriceyI used the Incase Nylon Backpack before I picked up the Icon Pack. The Nylon Backpack was still a great backpack and was still functional but I had to replace it after it went through wear and tear after about 2 years of use.
The Icon pack is great for portability and I love how it stays up and doesn't sag like 99% of other bags. It has great structure and form unlike the Nylon Backpack which sagged. Another plus is the larger storage capacity. The Nylon Backpack was somewhat small for my weekend trips but did the job for my college life. The Icon pack is great for college students or the gadget guy as it has pockets for everything and has larger volume for those larger loads. Also enjoy having good straps again after dealing with those sliding straps that never stayed put on the Nylon pack.
Overall a great backpack but a large price tag. I would say it is a great deal if it was down to $120 or less (only reason why its 4 stars not 5). Still a great bag I can strongly recommend to those willing to pay the 200.

Great bag for both Storage and TravelI bought this bag for college to carry my laptop and books in, as well as some other personal items. So far I used this bag to travel by airplane to Florida and it works great. It slides right under the seat in front of you and still leaves ample leg room. It held so much stuff and I love how many pockets and sections it has for organization. All in all, a great bag.

Love my ICON BackpackI've been looking for the perfect bag for travel -- laptop, tablet, stuff, plus 35mm camera and I finally found it. The video sold me -- everything fit, including the camera! It's comfortable to wear and the weight seems nicely distributed. On top of it all (and this mattered a lot), it's a sleek design. It was bigger than I expected but not in a bad way; it fit under the seat ahead of me. Love it and look forward to many years of use.

Great backpackGreat backpack. Nice storage options, well built. I like how it solid enough it doesn't just collapse in on itself, kind of retains its shape. Comfortable as well.

Grey ICON BackpackI finaly received the backpack, so what can I say?
1. Color of the backpack is not silver as on the pictures, it is literally grey, but it depends on the lightning.
2. Materials it is made from are nice.
3. Design is great, especially of pockets.
4. Price is overestimated, in my opinion, but who am I to judge with no research.
I would definetely recomend the product if price and design are fine for you.

Bought it twice!I absolutely love incase products. I upgraded from the Compact slim and I absolutely love the Icon backpack for my work/travel. It is the perfect tech gadget bag. Filled to max capacity I had no issues stowing underneath the seat in front of me on a commercial flight. I originally bought it in navy and then took advantage of the black friday sale to pick it up again in red. Great bag overall.

Best Everyday BackpackThis is the most practical backpack I've ever owned. I use it daily for law school, and it fits multiple textbooks, my 13" MacBook Pro (though it would fit a bigger one), a journal, headphones, my iPhone 6 Plus, an extra battery and cable in the side pocket, an assortment of pens/pencils/office supplies...and probably more. It's built very well and I had no problems with shipping or communicating with Incase. Great company and a great product all around!

Great Tech BackpackReally great backpack. It has a lot of pockets for almost anything you need to store. It stays upright when you put it down. It's super comfortable and it's straps make it easy to adjust as well as keeps it nice and snug against your body. A bit pricey, but I think it's worth it.

Superb backpackIve just recently discovered the incase brand and couldn't be happier. This is by far the best backpack I've ever owned. I travel constantly and this backpack fits everything I need on a great organized way. It's very confortable and surprisingly light. Good looking also.
Great product.

An Organizer's Dream!... or at least pretty close. I carry around a fair bit of tech with me, along with an array of other things. This bag helps to organize and compartmentalize everything. If you are looking for a bag that can simplify your life and help to make lugging around the laptops, tablet, chargers, documents, adapters and anything else you might need easier than this is the perfect bag for you!
My only criticism, albeit slight, was that a very early version used to have a grid to help organize the smaller tech.

ICON BackpackI love this backpack - I purchased it as both an everyday work bag, but something I can also travel with. It has tons of pockets, but still remains pretty slim for how much storage it has.
It is really structured and everything has a place - which I like, because it keeps it's form and doesn't become weird shaped and lumpy. Makes it easy to stay organized and not lose anything in an abyss.
By BonnieReport offensive review
Great backpack but...I love my backpack! I bought a new backpack for grad school, and so far after a year, it's held up great. It has tons of little pockets to store things and there is definitely room for a standard binder, a textbook, a notebook and a MacBook Air. However the only thing I have a gripe out is the padded backing; it's great padding however, my back will end up generating an insane amount of heat and I end up working up a major sweat. Not the greatest during the spring and summer times.
But other than that i would recommend this backpack!
By MikeReport offensive review
Awesome BackpackThe material and build quality are great. The layout of the bag is great as well, lots of space to keep things organized. It distributes the weight well and is very comfortable to wear. I like that the bag keeps it's form and stays up straight even if the bag isn't full.
By DanielReport offensive review
WoWThis backpack has met all my expectations. All the space and pockets is just what I needed to house my tech gear. I love how when it's strapped on, it sits high on my back...no more feeling like my pack is pulling down on me and of course the comfort level is great, with just the right amount of padding where it needs it. Keep the great products coming.

Best pack I've ever owned.I travel internationally and not only is the best pack I've ever owned but the customer service I received after my pack was delayed due to a train derailment can not be over stated. Kory at InCase was amazing in helping me get my pack before I left on a 2-week trip overseas. I've never experienced such amazing customer service. Thanks Kory!

Great allround bag!This bag is everything that I need.
I bought this mainly for my laptop. But I use for everything all the time.
You can load it up with so much stuff. I even use it as a travel bag sometimes and it even fits a smal amount of clothes + all my tech gear.
Also love the minimalistic and clean design!
Superb bag!!!

This bag is great. And holds a TON of stuff.This bag is great. It holds an insane amount of stuff and keeps everything organized. The weight is distributed nicely.
The only downside is after 5 or 6 years of use, I finally broke the zipper for the laptop compartment. *sigh* I will have to get another one.

By JarrydReport offensive review0 of 1 people found this review helpful
Awesome Everyday Backpack!I have finally found the perfect backpack for my everyday needs. I was admittedly a little hesitant at first when I saw the price, and didn't know if the Icon would be worth it. I read through many reviews on Incase's website as well as Amazon in addition to watching different video reviews on Youtube. Every review I read or watched all said that the Icon is one of the best bags they have ever owned. Simply, they were right.
I decided to order directly through Incase's website because I had a discount code that brought the price down to a more comfortable level. Also, I liked having the peace of mind of direct manufacturer interaction in the event of any warranty issues or shipping issues. The shipping was very prompt, and the email notifications were easy to read and swift.
When I received the Icon backpack, it was everything I was expecting, and more. The quality of construction is outstanding and apparent the second you feel the fabric and the zipper construction. It feels like there was a great deal of time and effort put into the design and layout of every pocket, zipper, pouch, stitch, and fabric choices. The major feature that immediately drew me to the Icon initially as a purchase consideration was that the primary laptop storage compartment is faux fur-lined. I value my laptop a great deal, so having it stored in a safe compartment is a huge factor to me. Additionally, I am large stature male with a long torso and wide shoulders (sounds corny, but it's true) and finding a backpack that fits me comfortably is difficult. My previous gear bag, at full strap extension, was too small and tight for me to wear for any extended time and was not comfortable in any way. This is not the case with the Icon. It is small enough to be stored easily, but large enough and comfortable enough to wear for hours at a time and hold everything I need with me.
Going back to the design again, it's so apparent that they designed the Icon with a great attention to detail. I carry my mid-2012 15" MacBook Pro, the 85W MagSafe charger, 2 charging cable extension cords for the MagSafe, a 5W iPhone wall charger, 2 lightning to USB cables, a 24W dual USB wall charger, a 10ft braided lightning to USB cable, a Magic Mouse 2, a 60 bit tool kit, a 20 bit precision repair kit, a socket enabled bit driver, a 5 piece precision phillips screwdriver kit, Leatherman, sunglasses, keys, headphones, screen cleaner and cloth, and occasional items on a daily basis with zero issue. There is a compartment or pouch for everything I listed and it all fits in there without feeling cramped or jammed in. All of the weight is distributed evenly throughout the Icon and no matter if the backpack is full or empty, it always stands up perfectly balanced.
I simply cannot stop gushing about how well engineered this bag is, and how perfectly tailored it is to someone like me. The price was more than worth it, and I could not be happier with my purchase. I literally do not have a single complaint about the Icon or with any part of the purchasing process!

Excellent it meet my expectationsThe space and the type of material apply in the construction of this backpack turn it in a good peace of equipment for a busy person that used a lot the airport. The typology and the position of the different spaces turn it easy to access the documents without spent to much time searching.

Great Bag!!!Not long bought this bag and so far I love it!!! It has a decent amount of pockets, the laptop section is a great size for my HP Spectre. Great for day trips, sits comfortably on my shoulders and against my back. Hopefully soon I'll see what it's like when I take it on a plane, which is what I bought it for, so I can pack the necessities so I don't get bored.

Nearly Perfect : please add protection to the computer compartmentThe quality of the bag is superior! Very comfortable and practical, everything I need. However, the bottom of the computer compartment is not optimal. An additional pad will make it safer or a suspension system.
Incase did a nearly perfect product, buy it without a doubt.
I'm ready to add a star to my review if you help me finding a solution.

Daily bag, great on the roadI upgraded from an older Incase ICON bag I purchased in 2007 the new model exceeds my expectations. My last bag endured so much abuse traveling internationally and I can't wait to see how long the next one lasts! It fits everything you could ever need to keep you comfortable and entertained while traveling; it's also perfect for the days when I just commute to the office. I can fit two books, a notebook, my Mabook Pro, iPad, two iPhones, a 10,000 mh charger, pens, external drives, and Ray Bans

En ella organizo el Mac, Ipad, Iphone y otros aparatos tecnológicos con todos sus cables y accesorios de forma muy limpia e intiutiva, conectandolo al Apple Watch como centro de comunicaciones. Ademas de llevar bien organizado todos los papeles, escrituras, talonarios, bolígrafos, cuaderno, clips, etc.
En definitiva una compra muy satisfactoria y recomendable.

Perfect gift for my tech-inclined BF!This backpack was the perfect Christmas+anniversary gift for my graphic designer/techie boyfriend. He constantly carries two laptops, a sketchbook, an ipad, and a million chargers to and from work as well as while travelling, and this bag has the perfect compartment for each thing. He's giddy every time he uses it :)

Very good overallVery good bag overall. Looks good. Seems solidly built. And feels confortable even when carrying a somewhat heavy load (computer, external drive, etc.). My only issue is that I was hoping for slightly larger cargo space. It's a great everyday bag with room for a medium load but becomes a little tight for the days when you need to carry more.

Durable With Classic and Eternal StyleJust ordered my second Icon backpack after having my first one for well over 5 years, using it daily. While my previous backpack is still usable and in great shape, the new one has twice the storage and compartment space. Using my first bag for only a laptop and school notes, the new one allows me to carry a laptop, ipad, kindle, books, documents, hard drives, cords, etc. all with ease. The bag will never go out of style and its durability will have you using it for years and years to come. You'll never be disappointed in incase products.

Incase Icon PackAfter I got, this bag is worth for me. I could put many stuff including lab top, books, and uitilites. Also, the weight is not too heavy which is good for my back and shoulders.
Lastly, there are many channels that I could put small thing in this bag with perfect arrangement.

Really cool bag but expensiveIt is a really cool bag but I don't think it deserves that much money. It would be reasonable if it was half the price. By the way, Incase does not respond to emails that are sent to their support address (firstname.lastname@example.com). Just bear this in mind before ordering any of their products.

Awesome bag and even better customer serviceI've bought numerous cases and sleeves from Incase and always loved the quality. When I saw this bag I knew I had to have it. I've finally found a bag that meets my needs. I'm very picky when it comes to my bags and how it organizes my devices and accessories. This bag does it all. The size is just right and still small enough to use as a carry on if you travel on planes. It surprises me how much this bag can hold.
I don't normally write reviews but I have to say the customer service at Incase is spectacular. I had some issues with shipping. I wanted the bag last minute for a trip and Incase stepped up to the plate and made sure my bag was delivered in time for my trip.

I can put a water bottle safely inside.

The slickest bag on the marketNothing beats this bag in style and compatibly. Took this around with me to a couple of trade shows and made life a lot easier, super organized pockets with convenience, the straps are comfy makes the bag weigh half as much and best of all it didn't make me look like a high school kid

Absolutely the bestThis bag epitomizes why Incase is the absolute best choice for protecting and carrying your electronics. The design is impeccable and thoroughly thought through. I'm a high school vice principal. I use my bag everyday to transport important notepads, composition books, books, my spiral-bound executive planner, my 15" Macbook Pro, and other key items I use daily. Every single aspect of this bag feels perfectly designed. The video and images here clearly indicate why this is a superior product. Incase is the brand I will always turn to in this market. I love this brand.

Awesome Backpack, I can still fit my old macbook pro 15" non-retina.I had the previous incase ICON backpack in 2010 and died out as of Sept. 2015. The zipper and the material seam started to rip, which caused a huge hole. This is when I decided to purchase its newer model because I loved my old Incase ICON.
This backpack was much more sturdier than my previous one, it can stand on its own without being rested on something. However, this backpack is much smaller in width. I'm not sure if that is a pro as it prove to be more difficult to put the backpack on.
The idea to have 3 major pockets for the backpack is a huge plus. In my old one, I had no place to put my iPad. In the newer one, there is one dedicated pocket for it.
This backpack is also a lot less sweater than my old backpack. No backsweats! However, my old backpack was much more comfortable as the padding was much more softer than the current one.
The sternum strap is much more sturdier than my older backpack. The older backpack had these string like holder on the shoulder strap to support the sternum strap. However, the sternum strap kept coming of from this string and the string eventually broke off.
Adding inner pockets to the front pocket is a huge plus! The old one did not have that and everything would just settle in the middle of the backpack.. You would even see a bump if a lot of item were placed in there.
Overall it is a great backpack, especially for developers! I always feel the need to keep my laptop around. This backpack helps me do just that.

The Only Backpack for a Grad StudentAs a grad student, I often have too many assignments, papers, readings, books, grading, and teaching than one person should be able to handle. Luckily, I found the Incase Icon Backpack. It's the only backpack with the capacity to hold everything that I need for my long days at school. Not only does it have ample space but it also allows me to organize my books, binders, cords, laptop, pens, and all the other miscellaneous items I have at hand. This organization makes it easy for me to locate and access anything in the wink of an eye. In addition, the Icon is of elite quality. It's sturdy (stands on its own) and yet comfortable. The Incase Icon Backpack is a must have for any student, professional, or anyone who's just trying to keep their life together.

Totally awesomeI was looking very, very long for ideal everyday backpack. Then I decided to give a chance this one. It's is so cool, that I can put there everything what I need on my daily job (I'm a Art Director) and have so much space left. I use it everyday when I'm cycling to office, and then chill and work at the city. It's just perfect.

GoincaseThe incase bag is one of the best book bags I've ever purchased for my laptop and laptop accesories. Ive owned three of them, Im current due for a new the only reason i keep having to purchase another on is because my straps keep ripping. besides that issue I love my incase. Wouldn't recommend anyone who owns apple products to purchase anything else.
