I really love the size of the bag and all the pockets. This bag would be perfect for me except for the straps. One broke on me after only having it two weeks. I really needed it to be able to function as a backpack for those times when my hands are full, or I do some light hiking. The straps are not sturdy enough to trust with much weight in the bag. For me, I like to put my nook in it, ipod and other small items. It does weigh a couple of pounds with all my stuff in it.
  Also the design of where the straps are located isn't good. The straps are sewed about two inches below the top of the bag, which makes the bag lean back too much when worn as a backpack. They should of been sown all the way at the very top part of the bag like most other packs are.
  I gave this three stars because I like the size and amount of pockets. It also is a nice looking bag. But perhaps I should of given it two stars because I can't use it as I wanted to due to the poorly made straps. I sewed the strap that broke, which wasn't easy because it's leather. But at least now I can use it . I sling it over one should for now. But I don't expect it to hold out for much longer. I just ordered a different bag to replace this one.
  I would not recommend this product.
