People have long recommended cutting it and using matches to *carefully* melt the end of the cut strap. I used to used a rubber band, but now I just let it hang out and I attached a D-ring to the loop for easy adjustment.

Doesn't the blogger hold a 13' macbook and the hacker able to hold the 15' macbook pro? If the blogger can hold the mbp then I'll get it instead of the hacker.

I'm eager to hear, too... light blue is nice, but orange would /really/ complete things.

Just got my store credit! You guys rock.

Thanks for making such a great product and more importantly standing behind it! I promise to never set fire to my timbuk2 bag again - but I can make no guarantees about water (scuba, surfing, water polo) or air (sky diving, riding a windmill).

I am getting the Hemp/PET commuter next. I figure the least I can do since I am being given a second chance with my Timbuk2 is use "second chance" materials...

Thanks again guys,

Thad

I folded mine and put rubber on it to keep it in place :) Any idea how to make it not fray after cutting ?

Hi Bo. Here is our company statement on this, which we shared with our authorized retailers and customers:

Yesterday we were alerted to the fact that Costco is selling one of our bags on their Premium site. As you can imagine, this was both a surprise and shock to us.

I can assure you that we at Timbuk2 care about where and how our products are being distributed and we know you do as well. We want all of you and our retailers to know that we take this seriously and that we are taking action.

Please note the following:
1. We did not sell our products to Costco.
2. Our Brand is very popular and our admirers try to duplicate our products and attract our customer.
3. We are taking action.

About 6 months ago this happened to us, and it was remedied within a few days. We have every belief that this will be the case here as well.

Thanks for caring about our brand enough to post this.

Thanks for the heads-up

jamie replied on July 17, 2008 22:52 to the question "Orange liner, where are you?" in Timbuk2:

late july. then you and your perfect bag can become one.

jamie replied on July 17, 2008 21:54 to the question "I melted my bag AFTER it ripped so I could use the zipper..." in Timbuk2:

Well, Thad, here's the deal: your bag shouldn't have broken. That's the simple part. But you, Mr. Crafty Pyro Man, shouldn't have taken a lighter to your bag. We don't want to discourage craftiness, but we also don't want to encourage craft projects that involve hurting your precious Timbuk2. So the multi-pronged answer is this: Since the bag broke, we will issue an RMA. Call or email customer service for details. HOWEVER, should any of you super renegrade craft fair peeps out there decide to make your bag into a planter or a rocking chair or a fancy pair of earrings, you will be effecitvely VOIDING the schmancy warranty we so happily stand behind.

side note: did you know that costo sells pizza? like, not just frozen pizza, but real hot melty cheese pizza? weird. (and if you read the fine print on the costco "t2" page they admit they're not an authorized dealer. at least they admit it)

Jam, have you had any luck? I'm looking around for one too.

jamie replied on July 11, 2008 15:55 to the question "lex backpack custom options: oranganizer pocket in front? center divider?" in Timbuk2:

nope! i don't know why the organizer pocket has to be on the back, but i do know that the center dividers we have for the messengers simply will not work on the lex pack (shape, size, everything is all different). it's a good idea, though. that is one bucket of a bag (which is rad if you want to be able to carry as much as humanly possible).

jamie replied on June 27, 2008 17:28 to the problem "Order Not Received" in Timbuk2:

Tim and I just had a lil' heart to heart about his order. It's all good now, GS'ers. Carry on.

jamie replied on June 06, 2008 17:17 to the question "The Coder to hold a 17" laptop?" in Timbuk2:

definative answer: NO. the 17" macbook pro does NOT fit in the large coder. not what most of you wanted to hear (and not what i wanted to say) but the truth is what it is and sometimes it ain't good.

mz replied on June 04, 2008 14:14 to the problem "need to know when my orders will reach me.." in Timbuk2:

Just an update for anyone following this..

My 2nd order, placed on may 24 sg time, reached me first, but the guys at timbuk2 shipped the items in 2 packages and I was told by the UPS delivery guy that I'll have to pay the same tax/VAT/gst twice coz of the duplicated list of items on both the invoices.

My 1st order, placed on may 22 is still stuck in HK, and will only be delivered to me on the 6th, according to the UPS webbie, after staying in Ontario for 4 days.
