After seven months this case still looks like new and I drag it around with me every day, sitting it on the floor, behind the seat of my truck, where ever. No dirt on it at all; it doesn't seem to get dirty. I've flown with it a few times under the seat in front of me and it's easy to retrieve to get a snack, or book from it. Plenty of compartments, some zipped, some easily accessible w/o unzipping.  I keep my passport & checkbook in a zipped compartment that's the perfect size so I always know where they are.  Two other things I like: there is a mesh pocket that's perfect for holding my cell phone; and  there's a strap inside the front pocket with a slide hook to put key rings on so you don't have to hunt through stuff to find them--very handy when coming back in from a trip and you just want to get in your car and get home.  The only negative, and it's small, is that there isn't a see-through pocket to put the owner's business card in for quick identification.  I'm living without that fine.  A good case, a good price and it looks like it's going to last for a very long time. The color is fine, distinct but not too bright and not gaudy.
