Front, Back Panel: 9" wide, 12.5" tall each (approx. 23 cm x 31.75 cm)
Side panel: 15" wide, 41" long (approx. 38 cm x 104.25 cm)
Front Pocket Top Piece: 7" wide, 5" tall (approx. 17.75 cm x 12.75 cm)
Front Pocket Bottom Piece: 7" wide, 6" tall (approx. 17.75 cm x 15.25 cm)
Front Handle: 23" long (approx. 58.5 cm)

Back Straps: 80" long (approx. 203.25 cm)

This will get you the mini backpack, but if you'd like to see the dimensions for other sizes here is a guide for the mini and the classic, as well as three laptop sizes.
