Mine did, too.

Matt asked a question in Timbuk2 on May 01, 2009 17:59:

Why oh why is there no Small "Lived In" Bag

I already have a Medium and an XS bag and think I need a Small too. The "lived in" bag seems so cool! Any chance of something similar in other sizes soon?

Matt replied on April 13, 2009 13:28 to the question "I need a wee tiny Netbook bag." in Timbuk2:

I'd really like a netbook sleeve. I'm not so keen on the netbook compartment though--I mean, most of my books-made-out-of-paper are larger than my Acer.

I attach my Sigg with a clip. But, seriously, are people really using this for cans of PBR?

Haha, 1 person likes this idea!!

Single Panel Classic Messenger?

I see that you guys are now offering single panel messengers with special fabrics. Any chance of having this bag with the regular fabrics? Or as an option in the bag builder? Thanks

Yeah, toward the end when the luggage was going on sale I was anxiously awaiting the Doctor Bag to be on sale. But then it ended!

Matt replied on February 25, 2009 12:17 to the question "What happened to the Cordura Fabrics??" in Timbuk2:

Does the cordura just not sell? I've always considered that fabric to be Timbuk2's signature.

Sheesh. Customer service here has been awful lately. You'd think there would be at least one employee who checks this Timbuk2 "Customer Service" website.

Matt replied on June 11, 2008 20:36 to the question "What is the purpose of the center divider?" in Timbuk2:

I've tried putting papers in the back and the rest of junk in front but that usually bent my papers. Oh well! Nevertheless, a picture would be great.

Matt asked a question in Timbuk2 on June 11, 2008 18:18:

What is the purpose of the center divider?

I don't want to make it seem like I'm kvetching or anything--I love my bag--but for the life of me I can't figure out what the designer(s) had in mind with the center divider.

If I put anything behind the divider or inside of the pocket it makes the bag very uncomfortable to wear since the items invariably bulge out rather than stay flat at the bottom. I feel that the term "center divider" is a bit of a misnomer and it may be a good idea to at least include a picture in the bag builder so people know what it is. If I had known, I would have gotten the grab strap instead.

Thanks

ps-I guess it could maybe be good for packages?

Matt replied on June 06, 2008 02:09 to the question "Laptop Messenger M vs. Messenger M (+ my own sleeve)" in Timbuk2:

It's not exactly a *center* divider as it's stitched from the back. It's more like a back pocket. You may be able to just fit the laptop there, but if the back isn't full I imagine it may flop around while biking or walking.

Matt replied on May 24, 2008 15:40 to the question "Commute left handedness" in Timbuk2:

I had the same dilemma, though I probably won't be able to explicate properly what the difference is. I'll try since you're in a hurry. The Commute and the messenger have a different strap adjustment mechanism. The former being a cam that slides up and down the strap as it's adjusted, the latter being a fixed buckle at the bottom. When I switched the strap on the Commute it took some practice getting used to adjusting it but after the initial hurdle was really no problem; however, like I said, the custom was much better. (Maybe you could get the Commute, order a custom and once that gets in, return the Commute!)

Matt replied on May 10, 2008 13:54 to the discussion "Will the Commute Medium close with a 13 x 11 inches laptop in it ?" in Timbuk2:

I had this same problem. My laptop was .6 inches above the max height and the laptop compartment was fairly useless, unfortunately--I couldn't close it at all. I had to return it and bought a custom messenger instead with a sleeve.

Matt replied on May 07, 2008 21:17 to the question "Non-custom left handed bags?" in Timbuk2:

Thanks a lot! I do have a Commute right now but have to return it because it's not quite big enough for my laptop (I have another topic about that) and have just designed a left handed custom messenger in which I'll just put my laptop in a sleeve. I've been a little reluctant to get it because of the price (plus shipping), but I know it's worth it.
