I was a little skeptical at first with the purchase of this bag, but I decided to go for it since a little over $20.00 wasn't a whole lot to lose. So far, I am very satisfied with my purchase. The bag looks good and appears very leather-like even though it is fake. It is very spacious and practical for business and looks very professional as I take it to the office every day. I have to open the middle zipper to extend the bag's holding capacity and now it holds everything neatly that I have packed into it; including my netbook, files, books, notes, note pad, two sets of stereo headphones, cords, pens, highlighters, mouse, mail and even a small umbrella. And I still have room for packing an occasional drink and/or snack.

The interior compartments, as mentioned by someone else, are separated by a nylon cloth that can easily tear after prolonged use or by sharp edges or objects, so this is very inadequate. And the shoulder strap is a lot less than to be desired. I am always very cautious using it since the strap is so flimsy and could break at any time, including the actual hooks. My bag is packed full and weighs around 30-35 lbs so I try to always hold it by the handles as much as possible. There are times when I might need the use of both my hands, in which case, I have no choice but to use the flimsy strap.

So far, all of the zippers work fine for me with no sticking. For the low price that I paid for this bag I am satisfied, and most of you should be too unless you a) got yourself a faulty bag (these things can happen every now and then), or b) are a very unreasonable person with overly inflated expectations of what a low cost fake leather bag should provide.
