I recently used this bag on a vacation trip to the caribbean.  I chose this bag for its large size and zippered top.  I used this as my carry on bag for the flight and as a poolside bag on vacation.  This bag holds a lot!  I had my phone, ipad, hoodie, wallet, as well as a water bottle and cosmetic bag, with tons of room to spare.  My only complaint about this bag would be the lack of dividers or pockets on the inside.
