I don’t often review products, but I jumped at the chance to review the new Inateck Laptop Backpack with USB Charging Port, and the Inateck Water-resistant Camera Case Shoulder Bag. Sometimes you just know when a product is going to suit your lifestyle, and these two products suited me perfectly.
Disclaimer: I was gifted these bags, however, as always, all opinions are my own; and all editorial control remained with me.
Inateck Camera Shoulder bag
As a photographer, I am picky about my camera bags – I don’t want too much weight, and needs it to be practical first, and pretty later. But to my surprise, the Inateck camera shoulder bag was both functional and a looker! I especially appreciated the water resistant fabric, and the extra wings under the satchel edges that protect the cameras inside. The space for a laptop is also very useful, so I no longer have to carry two bags.
The Inateck camera shoulder bag holds 1 camera body, 2-3 lenses and a flash comfortably, plenty for small jobs or holidays. It comes with cushioned dividers which means you can separate your precious equipment with ease. The strap is long enough so you can wear it across your body, but also adjustable so you can wear it comfortably in many positions. I appreciated that there was both velcro and snaps to close the bag, as this added security for my camera gear.
Comments
It would be good to have optional sections of the camera gear area to zip up, but this is a minor suggestion in an otherwise highly functional and rather pretty camera bag!
Inateck Laptop Backpack
The Inateck laptop backpack has so many great features, it’s the gift that keeps on giving. The backpack comes with a USB port on the outside and cabling for you to attach a power bank inside. For someone like me, who has multiple tech devices on the go at once, to have somewhere convenient to charge from is a great bonus.
I was pleased with the long zips, so that you can open up the backpack easily and get to what’s at the bottom. The anti-theft zips at the front will be a great addition when I use this backpack on busy city trips. And the hidden pocket at the back is a stroke of genius – perfect for hiding your passports and cash.
Comments
The only suggestion I would make on the bags design is that the straps are sitting quite centrally, so in order for them not to sit against your neck, you have to wear the backpack lower on your back. I didn’t find this an issue, but if you like to have your backpack sitting high, it is something to consider.
Value for Money
As far as value for money is concerned, I was really impressed at how much you got for your pennies with these Inateck bags. Like most people, I always weigh-up the price to value ratio of products before I buy them, especially when it comes to luggage. For the very reasonable price tags, these Inateck bags give a lot of bang for their buck.

Review : Inateck Laptop Backpack & Camera Case Shoulder Bag
Over all, I found these two bags to be well designed and very practical. The backpack has come in particularly handy as our carry-on luggage for big trips. The water resistant fabric has also saved my gear a number of times, given how clumsy I am! While there are some design features that I would change, overall, these two bags have both turned out to be useable and useful in my luggage arsenal.
If I had to choose between these two, It would be really hard to decide! I love that the backpack comes with a USB port and a secret pockets. I can be rest assured that my valuables are hidden safely. While the sachel looks very pretty and stylish that it doesn’t look like a camera bag. Now if only I could have them both, travelling would be way more convenient for me 🙂
The bag definitely looks worth the money.
The zips are well concealed. And I liked the compartments with cushioned dividers.
We don’t generally go for shoulder backs for our cameras but we prefer backpacks (easier to carry also while hiking). This one looks nice because you have the cushioned dividers, so the equipment will stay safe. Nice tip!
Very true – and I am with you on the backpack camera bag thing. This one sat nicely on my hip, and I could get my cameras without shifting the position, so I might be a convert 😉
Security zips, a hidden pocket, an USB port… plus the waterproof material – enough reasons to rate the backpack high! Now checking it on the Amazon …Seriously considering buying one.
I usually go for the shoulder bag as I’m not a big fan of backpacks, although the USB charging plug sounds a useful addition on the backpack. The extra security on both of these bags is also a very good feature.
I learned the hard way that cameras must really be protected while traveling. I was under the impression that it could handle all sorts of circumstances and hey, I lost lens caps and my camera suffered scratches. I Didn’t take care of it well. I was just letting it hang on my neck the entire time.
Hi Hannah,
Thanks for sharing these bags with us, They looks nice but one thing which I want to know. Do these blogs have warranty too ?
For warranty information, please contact Inateck directly – support@inateck.com
I like the look of the camera bag. My bag is never big enough and I always end up with additional items in my handbag. This looks like it will take everything I carry and probably still have some additional space.
Water resistant fabric is a must when you have cameras and laptops to protect, I usually wrap my laptop in a clear plastic bag as a backup! I love the charging feature in the laptop bag, that is super useful too when you’re on the go!
Great tip!
This is great information! I am interested in purchasing this wonderful bag for all my computer and camera needs! thank you for the great travel tips!
That backpack looks absolutely life changing. it would be great for travel and my day job, because I always need to have so many devices and they never fit in a standard laptop bag. Time to check into pricing.
I need to buy a new camera bag. And the backpack here sounds promising. Though I wonder how many lens and gadgets can it fit in. the USB charging bit is interesting as are those hidden pockets. I guess I should check it out
Nice review. this bag looks really nice, I think this will be perfect for small/short trips.
I am looking for a backpack with stm that’s why I am searching on few blogs. This blog is also so good and I get few ideas. Thanks for sharing with us.
