This purse was great holding up for the week i was on a week long field trip with my daughter to Washington DC.  I wanted my hands free to take pictures and maneuver around on the metro and this purse was perfect for that.  With all the opening and closing, all the snaps held together quite well.  The reason I didn't choose 5 stars is because one of the side zippers is difficult to zip, the teeth may be off or something and the front snap is a little hard to close.  It needs to have a stronger magnet in it to help snap it close with ease.  And the last is, I hate the shiny black.  To me, it looks like a cheap bag.  I should've looked at buyers photos cause I probably would have chosen a different color.  The best thing is...The bag has TONS of pockets and it holds my ipad 7 a tiny umbrella, my wallet and other small things, all this without it feeling like a huge backpack.  I will definitely use this bag while traveling again.
