I'm about to purchase another one.  I use this bag EVERY day.  I don't carry alot in my bag because I have a bad back.  This bag holds my wallet & keys, my pocket calendar & pen, a pocket calculator, my cell phone, and my sunglasses.  That's all I need to be carrying around with me.  I'm getting another one because I want to get a black one (I have a blue one, and the color clashes with my maroon winter jacket, lol).  It also has a few pockets for small things.  The pocket on the side is nice for your cellphone, but it's open at the top, so if your bag falls over, your phone will fall out.  (Happened to me in a restaurant - my bag fell off the seat next to me, and I didn't realize the phone had fallen out until later.  Good thing I live nearby so I could go back and retrieve it!) I also like that the handle is adjustable.
