I LOVE, LOVE my bag! It's everything I need and MORE! Good for my school book and my work commute. The padding in the back of the back is like a massage everyday when I wear it. I never run out of "safe" places to put my little knicknacks because of all the pockets (pens, extra batteries, makeup, thumbdrives, cds, iPod, Kindle, laptop, etc). Great investment! And most importantly it keeps everything safe in the rain!
