Loved the first one I had and this was to replace it. The first last years. this one is not exact, slightly different. Same company so I hope it is as good as the first one.

I bought this purse because I love the style of using it over the shoulder or as a backpack. I had other purses that fit this description and loved them. When I first got this purse, I was surprised at the thinness of the material, but thought it would be okay. I loved it until the zipper pull began to break under normal use and finally the entire zipper broke. It's only April! This purse did not even last 6 months- or for that matter not even 3 months. I am very disappointed!

The picture of this item looks great, exactly what I wanted. It came completely flat and folded up in plastic, with fold creases in the leather. The zipper does not work correctly, it comes unzipped in the middle of the zipper. Overall, just not the quality I was hoping for.

I also was a bit leary about this bag from some of its reviews regarding its quality. But I have to say I was more than pleasantly surprised. It is JUST exactly the size and style of what I was looking for and the one I received, was made well, nice quality leather, well designed in every way. My ONLY complaint is, the strap is WAYYYYYYY to short, for anyone but a child. When I put this bag on, as the sling it was intended, the bag itself falls under my armpit. Granted Im on the tall side, but Im not 6 feet tall, and its still way too short. Luckily for me, I had an older black leather bag that had a detachable shoulder strap with the same clip hooks as this bag. So for me, adding the extra strap, makes the bag fall just above my hip , which is where a sling bag should fall. I wont use the zip backpack option, but it did zip ok, if I ever did. Overall, decent value/quality, but the strap is too short.

Like another reviewer, I too was struck by how flimsy this bag looks and feels in person. It indeed looks quite sturdy in the photo. The back vertical pocket is basically useless. I'm still using my old beat-up backpack purse because it's better than this one. I do, however, take credit for making a bad purchase. I thought maybe there was more to the purse than was said. Nope. Like Mama told ya, "You better shop around!"

I don't often write reviews but thought I had to for this product. It is not worth the 15.00. Bag is all torn apart after about a month of use

This item sounds great and I got it thinking it would give me easy access to essential items and not look large or bulky. It expands as the advertisement says. . . towards the bottom. But at the top where the zipper is it's pretty inflexible. So you can put items in there and it's harder to actually get to them because of the top. There are compartments. . .if you will, but they are mesh so my rings and bracelets get snagged pulling things out or putting them back in. It's just not what I thought it would be. Works great for my 15 year old daughter. She seems to like it I suppose. I just couldn't find it functional. I would not recommend this item for purchase to friend or foe.

I would like to warn others about the defects with this bag. The most annoying problem I have had is with the zippers. Just like other reviewers of this product, I experienced problems with the zipper pulls getting stuck and / or coming completely off. I have had to force them back into place and sew the ends so that I could use the pockets again, but they continue to get off track so that I either can't close the zippers or can't unzip them. I have thought about sewing velcro closures in place of the zippers, but I'm not sure that this would even work with the mesh pockets, and besides, the bag should have been made well enough that I shouldn't have even had to consider this in the first place. I also am nervous about items falling out of two of the compartments that are open and do not have zippers at all. The outer flap with the snap allows gaps on the side that are big enough that smaller items could slip out. Although the bag looks nice, I'm sure that there must be products that look just as nice, but are of much better quality. Spare yourself the aggravation and find a different bag.

This product is not worth your time or money. I have tried three times to use this bag and refuse to do it. It doesn't hold much. Does not close properly. Bag does not hang well. A total waste of money. I will not even donate it to charity!!

This bag does not hold all the stuff that they claim it can hold. The material is cheap. The magnetic snap on the outside flap tore while I was on my trip. Please do yourself a favor and do not buy this bag!

At $45, this case is way overpriced. It arrived today, looking and feeling like cheap, shiny plastic. It is not leather, that's for sure. It might be worth $15-$20, but A) I paid $45 and B) if I wanted a cheap-looking case, I would have bought one for $15-$20. This is the type of thing you get free when you make a $100 purchase from Fingerhut. It's going back.

Item rec'd in good time and the bag is excellent for the price. Not sure if it's100% leather but is close enough. Good deal.

I PURCHASED THIS 17"LEATHER LAPTOP COMPUTER CASE ON 1-11-07 AND RECEIVED IT ON 1-17-07.FOR THE PRICE OF $19.99+ SHIPPING THIS IS A GREAT BUY.BUT IF YOU WANT A DIFFERENT STYLE AND HIGHER PRICE AMAZON HAS OVER TWO HUNDRED TO CHOSE FROM.BUT THE ONE I BOUGHT I'AM HAPPY WITH.
