The appearance was fine.  Although it reminded me of a bag that was probably made when cell phones were smaller cause the cell phone pouch was made for a smaller phone, so I am thinking it might have been an item they were trying to get rid of cause it had been sitting around for awhile...but that's speculation cause there might just have not been a lot of thought that went into the design.  However, the major point that I was disappointed about was the quality and durability of the bag.  It severely lacked these two things cause the stitching on the straps came apart the first week! I would not recommend anyone buying this bag!
