Review: Good Quality - I purchased this bag to hold first aid supplies for immobilization. The front pockets were used to hold gloves, and an EMT pair of shears. The bag seemed to be good quality and the shoulder strap is good for the weight of the supplies. The front pockets use a Velcro closure while the main compartment uses a WWII type strap closure. All in all, I find it perfect for my use.
Review: Worth Every Penny, and Then Some! - I bought this bag two years ago and used it daily as a commuter bag for over a year. I often used it to carry a composition notebook, paperback book, sack lunch, and some DVD-sized plastic cases, although I've always been surprised at how much I can cram in; I've toted 7 or 8 DVDs around at a time in this little guy. Its small size was very nice for riding the city bus to and fro--I could set it in my lap more easily than a full-sized messenger bag. I've also used it to transport an SLR camera with extra lens and to pack a basic change of clothes. With the style and coloring of the bag, I felt comfortable wearing into in the office with a business-casual wardrobe, and it does lend itself to a masculine look. As other reviewers have mentioned, it is very floppy; keeping the composition notebook in it all the time gave it some shape, and beyond that, the floppiness was never an issue for my purposes. I've never used the front pockets very much, but they're useful for carrying some extra change, a pen, spare batteries, keys, etc.(probably a little too small for all but the smallest smartphones). After two years, the bag remains nice and sturdy, and the buckles for the front closure and for adjusting the shoulder strap are still perfectly intact. No failed stitches or tears in the fabric, and no failure of the Velcro for the small front pocket closures. Although the color has faded in places from wear and exposure, I've had no issues with colorfastness or bleeding onto my clothes. I love this little bag and would definitely buy it again. UPDATE: I'm now five years in with this bag. For at least 2/3 of that time I've gotten daily light use out of the bag. Mine has held up great, with no failed seams, fabric tears, or broken hardware. Only within the past year has woven shoulder strap begun to fray ever so slightly. As noted above, the color has definitely shifted from brown to tan.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sturdy bag. Not unhappy with it.
*by J***N on January 1, 2014*

So, I'll say up-front that the bag wasn't big enough for the use I had in mind for it when I bought it. To be fair, the bag was accurately described (so I had a good idea it probably would be a bit too small), so I can't really complain about the size. I was hoping to use it to carry my Samsung Chromebook and it's just too small for that. The Chromebook actually does fit in the bag, but it sticks out enough to make it obvious I'm carrying around a little computer, so it won't work for what I had in mind. The item's description explained the exact dimensions, though, so I'm not complaining. The bag was so inexpensive that I bought it anyway, hoping it would still be a good fit for my Chromebook. And I'm not unhappy with the purchase. It's still a really nice bag. I'm sure I'll use it for something else, because it seems well-made. It seems sturdy enough to be reliable. I was worried, with it being that size, it would look kind of like a purse. But after looking at it in person, I think that's not a problem. It's canvas and brown, so it's not girly or purse-like. Looks like something Indiana Jones would have slung across him. One minor complaint: Some other reviews mentioned that the metal piece on the end of the strap that goes through the buckle doesn't quite fit through the buckle. This turned out to be true of my bag. Not sure that I'd necessarily want to buckle it anyway, but the metal piece is an awkward fit, making me spend more time than I should have to spend on getting the bag buckled or unbuckled. I might just cut off the metal thing on the end of that strap... or I might take some pliers to it to see if I can mold the shape a bit to fit the buckle better.
