I bought this because I wanted a new bag for an upcoming trip. My requirements: must hold my phone, 10 inch tablet, have RfID protection slots (because I'm paranoid), additional wallet/passport, and room for a few other incidentals (powder compact, lip gloss, small bottle of hand sanitizer, sunglasses, etc), look a little stylish for the resort I was going to, and NOT be huge/bulky. Think more asking the lines of I was looking for backpack style purse not laptop carry on.I love how this bag delivered! I was able to fit everything in easily (little snug in the sleeve for the tablet but did fine). The color and detailing (zippers, pulls, etc) are elegant (mine is a dark cherry with brushed silver details). While I haven't had it long, I have used it every day for the past month and a half and can tell it is very well made/should last a long time. I was surprised how convenient the strap was with the zipper split allowing me to wear it three different ways: I've the shoulder (with strap zipped), cross body (strap zipped, extended straps all the way), and backpack style - either on my back or, for areas where I was more concerned, front-facing. Also, the material is durable and I was able to easily wipe it clean when it got dirty. Definitely am considering getting one for my college daughter and would but again for myself!
