THIS REVIEW HAS BEEN CHANGED.

So I decided to change my review for this book bag. In my original review I stated it was a pretty good bag, no ripping/tearing, everything was holding up alright, and I had plenty of space to put my things in it. And that's why I'm changing this.

I used this bag for my freshman year of high school. When the school year was about 3/4 of the way done, that's when this bag started to disappoint me. The inside of the bag started to rip and tear, and the buckles for the side pockets kept falling off.

I truly didn't carry much in this bag either, I carried two 1/2 inch three ring binders, a couple of spiral notebooks, one or two small books I'd be reading at the time, and my school issued iPad, while I carried my textbook in my arms.

In the front and side pockets, I usually put my glasses, pencils, tissues, phone, ipod, and charger in.

Also, the straps are ok straps, they had no padding on them, but that really didn't mind me as i prefer no padding anyway.

Overall, I suppose its an ok bag if you're not planning on using it for long term or rough use, and I mean, what you pay is what you get. ((I payed $20ish))
