Impulse purchase because this bag was just the size I was after, and seemed to be intelligently designed with a padded, velcro-closure compartment for my laptop and lots of neat, discrete storage areas. But it's so badly made! Why can't someone use webbing of sufficient stiffness to not allow the rectangular metal rings to immediately slip sideways! (Or use a better ring design?) And then, a month out one of the zippers gave up the ghost (I notice that happened to another reviewer after only a few days). This thing is all looks, but clearly made with no respect for someone who might actually want to USE it for it's intended purpose. It could have been a very cool item, but was made on the cheap.

I love this bag HOWEVER, I have had it only approx. 3-4 months and the zipper for the front compartment (where pens, etc. are stored) has broken after only regular use. Unfortunately, I did not save the receipt as I didn't think I needed to after the first few months. Very disappointed that B&N would not exchange the bag (they are the ONLY store that carries this particular bag). Would love to have another but will not pay that much again d/t potential for breaking. B&N, please consider changing your policy, particularly when a product can ONLY be found at your store, you should be open to returns or exchanges, at least in the first few months that you have the item in stores - (no way I could have had the bag longer than a few months since only available in store for a few months)

One of the unique features of this bag are the outside pockets, which are just the right size for a cell phone. An underflap pocket (on outside of bag under the flap) is a zippered 'supply' pocket with place for pens, change, wallet, smart phone, etc. Inside pocket is padded (for small laptop, ipad, etc) and large enough for books, files, notebooks.
The only drawback I experienced is the outside zipper broke within a day of using it.
The verticle style works really well - fits under my arm perfectly.

Great design and size, but due to the cheap materials (Faux Leather?), at $40 it is a rip off. Front zipper started sticking right away. Faux Leather cracked in below 30 degree temps. Purchased in November, but only a 30?? day warranty? So long B&N.

I got this to keep, well, everything while I'm at work. It has lots of goodie pockets the pic doesn't show!
Top flap zipper pocket I keep notes I cant lose.
Front pocket is zipper closed and has pen holders, cell phone holder, and a mesh two pocket. Easy to get into and I love that.
Interior is large enought to hold a travel umbrella and cosmetics bag and billfold easily.
Padded pocket inside holds my iPad or a small laptop or nook, or book. I love it!
