Zebella Casual Messenger Shoulder Bag for iPad Satchel Crossbody Canvas Bags

Summary: Functional, stylish, can hold a lot of weight, comfy around shoulder, but started falling apart after just 2 months (though it was constantly used every single day for those 2 months). Its good for the price.Details: I love this bag. It is so functional! Fits my 10" tablet perfectly and has many pockets which is great. I've had it for 4 months now. However, about 2 months into it, it started to fall apart. The fake leather areas (rims and front pocket flap) are falling apart and make the bag look old, dirty, and cheap so I feel sort of embarrassed to go out with it. Still, I put a lot of heavy items in it. It's always packed and in the time I've had it I have used no other purse so it really has been used a whole lot. But I paid $25 for it so, you get what you pay for I guess.

I wanted a nice (and reasonably priced $20-25) bag to hold all my stuff on trips. I needed it to be easy to carry and keep up with. The bag fits that bill. The long strap really came in handy in that regard. Extended to the longest length the strap slings over my head and shoulder with the bag hanging to my hip; making it easy to work with and grab stuff.What Mine Holds: I was mainly looking for something to hold my phone, 7" tablet, reading glasses, sun glasses, & wallet with a few other odds and ends. It does this, organizes it pretty well and has room to spare.Main Compartment: The main compartment will hold an iPad secured in a reasonable case; and I tested it with my old iPad 1. That said, the largest iPad in a case just barely fit with no room to spare length wise. Width wise you could also include a few more smaller items.Protection: This bag is not designed to protect your tablet (or anything else) with lots of cushioning, etc... It is designed to carry stuff. That's it. For me... that's all I wanted.Organization: Besides the main compartment I wanted a few side pockets for organization... I got five - 1) Front snap pocket, 2) Front zipper pocket the size of a phone, 3) Front zipper pocket above those, 4) Back zipper pocket and 5) Interior zipper pocket. Note that the latter three are just big enough for an iPhone in a case, but still handy for organizing lots of smaller items. (All of these are visible in the various Amazon pics)Fancy Schmancy: If your looking to impress friends with leather trim etc... go spend the big bucks on something else. This is not for you. It's a canvas bag with vinyl trim... though not thin or cheap. But then I'm just a working class guy who values functionality over frills.Manufacture: I have had no issues with zippers or stitching after using it on several trips. It seems well made so as I expect to get years of use out of it.I hope this helps folks get a feel for what this bag is. For me it was exactly what I was looking for and I recommend it. :)

For my needs, this bag works well. The front zipper pocket is barely big enough to hold an I phone 6S and I have to work to get it zipped closed once the phone is inserted. I like all of the organizational pockets and the back zippered pocket has plenty of room in for my 380 bodyguard personal firearm. However, there are threads that are working loose at the top of the bag. I'm sure that in time, the upper trim will separate from the canvas bag. But considering the price point, it is a good bag for the money. I wish that Kavu still made their Seattle sling bag. It was the perfect bag for all my organizational needs. This one is simply adequate.

This is supposed to be a men's bag, but it is too good to hide from the mom's! Great "Mom" bag. I can fit a good bit of stuff in the center compartment, and it zips closed. Inside the center compartment is another smaler zippered compartment built into the linning. I really like the exterior pockets the most. On the back is a flat, zippered pocket. Very discrete. It is just the right size to fit my aluminum (RFID proof) wallet for easy access, and yet when it is on my shoulder the zipper is safely against my body and away from theives. On the front are two exterior pockets. One is a flap pocket with a magnetic snap latch. I keep my cell phone there and it is easy to access it when I need it. The other exterior pocket is zippered. I stuff in my cell phone wall charger, ear buds, charge cables for my kids gaming devices, etc. in there.Last, but not least is a zippered opening accross the front right above the two exterior pokets. It is a great place for pens, loose change, stamps, folded receipts, etc.Not a bag for a night on the town, but a good, sturdy bag for a mom on the go.

Love this bag. It is just what I was looking for. I have been using this bag for about 2 months now and still really like it. It has room in it for both my ipad mini and my 8.9 inch hd fire, plus a few other items in the center pocket. The outside pockets are great for all the chargers and ear phones, personal items and my wallet.The one thing I would change is the outside front pocket zipper. It can be a little hard, no stiff when zipping.

I love this bag for the way it looks, but unfortunately I have to return mine.I was (am again) looking for a bag that will fit my tablet (6.7x10.4x0.8"), some writing pad, fountain pen, and maybe my phone. I mainly want to use the bag to protect my tablet from bumps and scratches and the irony is that this bag left 3 scratches on my shiny new tablet.Why oh why would you put a big zipper with sharp corner on the inside of an Ipad messenger bag?Also the dimension given in product spec is the overall dimension, don't let that number full you because my tablet barely fit in the bag, and by barely I mean if I put one more item like a note pad or say a Star Trek novel I won't be able to close the zipper.If anyone want to get this bag for their tablet (screen size 9inch and up), I would reconsider, but if you want to use it as day to day bag for carrying keys and wallets and notepads this is a great bag
