I have tried every purse imaginable.  In fact I bought another purse right before I found this one.  I love this bag for most everything.  This is the first of its kind that I have purchased.  I love the lightweight.  I can fit my Kindle in it also.  I like the back magnet compartment to hold lists etc.  I like that it has the small wallet for my ID and money. I have tried putting my charge cards and other cards in the slots for them inside the bag, but when I get to the store, I cannot pull them out or see them.  I think it should have the zipper come all the way down the sides to be able to see the cards.  I now have to carry amother small wallet just to grab my credits quicker.
