Ghostek NRG bookbag - Built-in POWER BANK - REVIEW

2016-04-11
hey everyone Jimmy with Jim's review room I've said it a while back I was trying to find companies that would send me some bags to review ghost Tech was very nice enough to provide two bags here one to review and the other one to give away so look out for my giveaway video into the next several days here but this bag it's priced at $99 and it's not just any kind of bag either but there's some built-in features for those on the go so without further ado my channel is here to help you make a purchase decision welcome everyone to jim's redo the first thing to address the NRG bag has a built-in removable battery now this holds seven thousand milliamp sand it's able to recharge your devices while you're on the go inside which is super convenient to charge your devices there's a micro USB cord a lightning cable for Apple devices and an old-school Apple connector to the right there's a USB cord that oddly didn't come connected on either of my two bags here I just had to reconnect it to the power bank and this does provide power to an external USB power port on the front now moving into the outside of the bag here once you connect your phone tablet or other miscellaneous device press that center button and it starts to charge now I did test here you can have a USB connection here and an apple connection and both devices will charge simultaneously but the only issue and oddly this is just purely aesthetic the battery indicator isn't that stitched into the middle of the bag isn't that symmetrical it's just off a little bit here to one side again just purely cosmetic now in regards to recharging I didn't see anything saying that it has fast charging or quick charging enabled most higher banks still don't today anyways but I personally timed this with my Samsung s7 and was able to achieve almost two hours from a dead battery to full now using Samsung's own charger in my phone review Samsung had taken about an hour and a half so not too bad from my experience considering I didn't see fast charging on their spec sheet nonetheless this does recharge my phone pretty quick and very less regarding the energy battery itself there is a supplied wall adapter to just plug this into the side of the bag and from my tester that did take a little over four hours to fully charge from dead as well don't over the pockets and soon comfort this thing holds a good bit the front pocket where the battery is located is a bit narrow so keeping a notepad or maybe your phone when not charging here is convenient not only wish that there were some slots here to hold my pencils and pens like my other bags as you never know when you need to write or draw something physically or manually instead of using your phone so the next compartment can easily take in textbooks and other miscellaneous items the bag does extend out and it's able to accommodate most of my stuff comfortably and when you are recharging your phone these pockets back here it works perfectly in holding it in place now going on to the back side we have one main frontal area here you can say a small one that's able to hold my iPad air and the last pocket I used to hold my laptop now on the very bottom towards your lower back is a pouch to hold your pens cords earphones and other miscellaneous items that you're choosing and last on the other side there are pockets used to hold your water bottle soda bottle which seems to work fine a bit deeper pockets would have given a little bit more peace of mind but nonetheless they still work regarding comfort there's plenty of cushion on the back and having the laptop stowed away it does straighten your back up a bit here but there's no sharp edges there's really no discomfort at all the straps on the shoulders provide enough cushion here for heavy loads and they do feel economical and not tight pinching and the shoulders and less considering this has a battery pack inside dosha Tech is claiming the energy bag to be water-resistant now I stuffed a bunch of paper into the bag zipped it up and sprayed what I believe to be a moderate amount of water the upon opening unfortunately there is some water that did seep in the paper was indeed wet in certain areas I'm shocked it didn't offer a flap over the zippers to prevent water from intruding versus using a water guard on the inside that they have here so that's it for this review check out their bag with the links in the video description also follow me on social media I'll be posting very soon that giveaway video as promised again I'm Jimmy with Jim's review room you guys take care and I'll see you in the next one
