Quite possibly the most functional, well designed work bag you will find. Everything about this bag is useful, practical, and durable. Unlike the other reviews, I have found the magnetic closure to be perfect for what you need it to do. The magnetic force snaps the cover into place without having to fiddle around with buckles or clips. The retractable (and detachable) key leash is perfect as you always know exactly where your keys are! I use the water bottle pocket to store my reading glass case, which it turns out is the perfect place for them as the elasticised "snap" band at the top ensures that they won't accidentally fall out. There is ample internal space for all of life's necessities. I carry a portable umbrella across the bottom, occasionally my lap top in the padded compartment, folders with documents or a book, heaps of pockets for things like hand sanitiser, thumb drive, and a great pocket to slot your phone into which is easily accessible. The shoulder strap is comfortable, even when lugging around some heavy weight gear. The rear zip pocket fits a standard size iPad perfectly, allowing you to whip it out quickly without having to rifle through your bag looking for it. And the rear carry handle is absolutely ingenious. When not in use, it sits inconspicuously flat against the bag. But for those occasions when you don't have time to sling the bag over your shoulder as you rush for the bus, the handle turns the bag into an instant "hand-carry" bag. There is absolute attention to detail, right down to the reinforced, tapered shoulder strap hoops which make a simple statement - "unbreakable". No more twisted shoulder strap clasps that self-rotate 180 degrees, making the whole thing uncomfortable and unsightly. I have a number of different work bags and back packs that I have tried over the years, but with this one I have found the closest thing to perfection so far. The only thing that I have not had any use for so far is the external USB port. Although I carry a portable charger in the pocket designed for it, my commute is not long enough to have a use for it. All in all - a great every day bag that you will use for a very long time. I wouldn't trade mine for the world.
