This is a handy bag to take to big public events where security is high. (Also helps get through airport security quickly. The fact that it's plastic and designed with the big flap over the top makes it fairly weatherproof, too. And I love the fact that I can operate my cell phone touch screen without taking my cell out. My only complaint is that the padding for the strap slides all over and is kind of useless. I wish that padding was thicker and that it stayed in place better.
