Photo made him appear blue, the description said black, finally it is somewhat in between. It depends on the light, it remains quite faithful to the photo. The inside pockets are well placed, helpful, solid. I have only recently so I can not comment on the longevity of seams but it looks promising. It is very large but very well on the back. The shoulder straps are padded, they do not hurt at all even with a laptop charger + 4kg within (and still have room!). It closes very well with magnetic buttons that take very very good! To give an idea of the size (in cm dimensions personally told me nothing) I had bought to carry all my sports equipment that did not fit in a Eastpack, it is much larger, I still the place after putting all my stuff.
