I think the size and overall appearance of the ipad 2 bag is good. The darker brown has both a professional and a casual appearance. I feel that the front pocket that is covered by the front cover has cheap pockets in it as this material with thread never works out too well and will rip soon enough. Also, the edges of the leather where the white threads are has some darker thread in between the sections of material that are sewn together with a dark thread, and this ipad 2 bag has begun to separate and leave these dark threads hanging out everywhere. Regardless, so far this still feels like a decent item. If I could suggest an improvement on this and most over satchels is that a better connector could be used to attach the strap to the bag then what is presented so that one doesn't have to worry about the bag getting twisted as much. However, this is minor. Overall, the bag achieves its purpose and is good for carrying around a netbook or tablet with ease.
