I have owned this bag and the smaller version of it at least 7 or 8 times.  I bought the small version to downsize what I carried around everyday to the bare minimum and then switched to this larger version to be able to carry a bit more without weighing myself down.  The multiple pockets, compartments, zippered, mesh for visibility, hidden pockets to discretely carry feminine items and most of all the easily accessible cell phone holder  was and is ideal for me.  I'd carry these bags for years until I wore them out through much wear and tear.  Completely reasonable amount of use for a non-leather bag.  I'd just pop on Amazon and get another one.  Women stopped me on the street to ask about the bag.  I loved it...until last year when the quality changed. I wonder if Travelon was sold or has switched to a cheaper manufacturer.  The nylon used for the bag is stiffer and less pliable than it was, the strap is a little flimsier, the zippers are of lower quality and the magnetic fasteners are cheaper and don't hold as well.  The velcro fastener that holds the cell phone ripped off.  I sewed it back on.  I bought a brown version of the bag earlier this year -- the zipper on the front pocket broke - I actually sewed it back together which held for a while but then became unusable.  No problem.  Ordered a black version.  Received it on Oct. 24.  As of today, Dec. 8, the strap has completely detached from the cell phone holder.  It is literally held on by two threads and I'm in danger of the bag falling of my shoulder.  I just spent hours searching hundreds of bags for a replacement and let me tell you there is no replacement that will be as convenient and affordably priced as this bag.  I finally settled on the Tumi Voyageur Lugano Messenger which is much much more expensive and still not as good as the Travelon.  I am writing this review both as a warning to others and a plea to Travelon, please go back to your other manufacturer.  This bag is one of a kind and its a shame for it to be in the state its in now.
