With the start of school quickly approaching for many (and even quicker for some), the time to stock up on supplies is well underway. One of the key things any student needs is a backpack

When you’re looking for one of these it is no longer enough to find one that will carry enough books. Today’s backpack needs to be a bit more diverse considering that digital devices have become firmly entrenched in our lives.

So when looking for a backpack, here are 3 things to consider:

1. Durability

A backpack needs to be built to last. That means strong zippers and seams, an exterior that can stand up to different conditions, tough shoulder straps, and more. You’re going to be carting around quite a bit of stuff in it, so you need to make sure that it’s going to be up to the challenge.

2. Versatility

There not only needs to be plenty of storage space in your backpack, but it needs to be able to store a variety of items. From iPads to textbooks to pens, your backpack needs to have slots which can be used in ways that suit multiple applications.

3. Ergonomics

This is the most important, because durability and versatility can often be packaged in something that will not work out too well for your back over the long haul. It needs to be able to provide what you need in a manner that is safe for your body to carry (padded and adjustable shoulder straps are an example). No matter how cool a backpack looks, if it doesn’t “feel” right when you wear it, then it isn’t going to be the right one for you.

Right now Cult of Mac Deals has a backpack that fits the bill on all three of these fronts – and at a savings of 40%. Check out the Spigen New-Coated Backpack over at our Deals page. It’s just $59.99 during this limited time offer and may very well be the backpack you’re looking for as you get ready to hit the books once again.
