Very nice small bag, I bought it for short day trips, especially when travelling. When travelling, I nest this bag inside of my Tom Bihn Aeronaught, and it works quite well. (I am a fan of the Tom Bihn bags and this one is of similar size to their cafe bag, but they don't offer one with a built in laptop compartment.)The padded compartment is quite nice and works well for either my 13" macbook pro or my ipad. The velcro strap that keeps your laptop in place is quite nice and sturdy. I like the structure of the bag it's well made and keeps the shape. It has a nice amount of pockets, including the main compartment, laptop pouch, and a bonus slot behind the laptop pouch, as well as a snap pocket on the front, magazine slot on back, and zipper pocket on flap. I'm using the zipper flap to store business cards and it's nice to always have one at the ready when attending conferences.
Two things I would change or love to see on this bag:
1. Pen holders/slots there are none and I wish there were. I'm carrying my pens loose in the bottom of the bag, which is not the handiest to locate.
2. I dislike the aesthetic of the plastic latch on the flap. To my eye, it looks cheap and like an afterthought. I would love to see it more integrated into the design.
With that being said, these points are relatively minor, and I do like the bag a lot and will continue to use it. I think that it's a good value for the price point and expect that it will last a long time.
