The bag shipped super fast! I ordered it while visiting family in another state and by the time I got home a couple days later it was waiting for me.

The bag is a little larger than I expected but it's not huge so it's okay. The measurements listed are accurate so it's not their fault. :)  I don't like large handbags and it's tough to find one that's just the right size for the essential items I don't leave home without. They're either too small or too big, bulky, unweildy, or have an annoying flap. I don't do flaps. :) The few bags I've found that work for me are cheap and tend to fall apart.

This bag appears to be of sturdy construction. There are plenty of zipper pockets to organize items, and I especially like the zip pocket on the inside for security. The shoulder strap is nice and wide; narrow ones tend to cut into my shoulder when the bag is loaded. The expansion zipper is a handy feature.

The only thing that right off the bat I don't care for is the cell phone holder. My LG Intensity II (slide open phone with a keyboard) barely fits in it and often activates one of the outside buttons, which wears down the battery. Smart phones won't fit in it, definitely. Small flip phones will do fine. Also, when the phone is in there, it makes the bag top heavy so when I set it down, the part holding the phone flops over and the whole bag falls over. Other than that, I like the bag.

I bought it in khaki, which is a nice, neutral color. I may order another one in red if I end up falling in love with the bag. I don't own a Kindle but I think one would easily fit in this bag.
