Review summary

Based on reviews, created with AI

Most reviewers were somewhat happy with their experience overall. Many customers appreciate the products for their sleek design, reliability, and how well they fit their devices, with some highlighting the durability and protective qualities of cases. Reviewers often find the products to be well-made and suitable for their needs, including backpacks that are spacious and easy to carry, and cases that offer sturdy protection. However, some people were dissatisfied with product quality and functionality, mentioning issues like torn seams, unusable zippers, or products that stopped working shortly after purchase. There were also concerns about products not fitting as expected, and some customers received items that differed from what was advertised or arrived damaged due to poor packaging. Additionally, some reviewers expressed frustration with specific product designs, such as laptop compartments lacking closures or keyboards with frustrating power management.

Backpack covered in mold

I purchased a backpack from this site. It got mailed home and was covered in mold. I contacted customer service who 4 days later send a shipping label. I received the replacement bag 7 days later and once again the backpack is covered in mold. I called customer service and am waiting for a reply. I would like a refund as the backpacks seem to be stored improperly in the warehouse. Customer service says they cannot guarantee a refund and will get back to me. Not a reliable site to purchase from. Go elsewhere or instore.

very tight fit

My iPad mini 2 would only fit when I removed the screen protector I had on my iPad otherwise this would have been a 5 star review.

Shopping on your site was pretty easy and all went well until I tried to enter a discount code I had been provided by you. The code would not work and I wound up paying full price. But the price was OK so I did not mind too much.

Our apologies for that discount codes can not be used with docking stations or with any other promotion. However, the code provided to you can be used with any other order. We are glad that other than that the site was easy for you to work with.

Poor Customer Service for Defective Item

I ordered a backpack for my son. He hadn't used it or even looked through it until today, when he needed it. When he looked inside, one of the pockets wasn't attached--- the fabric was loose.

I contacted customer service. Provided pictures of the obvious manufacturer defect and the tags being still on the pristine backpack.

To get a replacement I have to do the following:
Wait up to 48 hours to recieve a return label.
Ship the package.
Wait until they determine if this issue is "covered."
If it is, they will send a new product.

With other similar items, the manufacturer has always sent a new one immediately (since it was a defect and there is no determinination needed) and then wait for me to send the defective product back. Sometimes they state they will charge for a new item if the original is not returned, which is fine. No options with this company. Simply, "It's your problem, now you need to wait another 7-10 days before getting your item."

Overcharged/Don't buy from them, buy from amazon because you'll return

Buy from amazon because you'll return.

I was overcharged $11 the second time I tried purchasing because of an unknown issue that they canceled my first order. The backpack was received, and it is not looking as advertised. The back of the backpack looks as if the bag has been used fresh out of the box for at least two years. The sewing does not look and stand straight at all. I went ahead and tried returning, and as they don't provide free returns, I'd be charged $47 if I wanted to return, so I'm stuck with this garbage thanks to Targus's fair return policy.

Ebrahim, I pulled up your order with us and the order that was canceled. You paid less for the Spruce bag purchasing it with us then I can locate on Amazon. From the communication you sent us I did some further investigation and found that both orders you placed with us would have been for the same amount as you received the student discount and the free shipping. Please reach out to us at 877-482-7487 Monday thru Friday10 AM to 7 PM EST. Our customer support team would be happy to look into this further. They can also be reached at us.support@targus.com.

Very underwhelmed and disappointed

The product description on the targus website gives the impression that this is a bag to securely carry a 15 inch laptop.

Upon receiving the item I discovered that it has virtually no padding to protect the laptop. The highly vaunted sling system also appears to offer no real protection in the event the bag is dropped vertically.
Also all the strap hooks are made of plastic... Shameful for a bag at this price point. This was my first targus purchase and will probably be my last.

Our customer support team is happy to help.

Can not return the iPad cover I purchased to replace the old one. Size numbers changed. A 12.9 cover should be 12.9 not 10.8. Call it what it is!

Kathy, I am sorry to hear that this case did not fit your iPad Pro 12.9. This case is advertised to fit the 3/4/and 5 generation of iPad Pro. It will not work with the 1st or 2nd Generation of iPad Pro 12.9.
