This is one of those items that was difficult for me to review. Why? Because there were good attributes and some bad ones, which made me vacillate between a 3 and a 4. The main reason.....well, the bag was not exactly what I thought it would be. For some reason I felt that I would be able to use this product in the manner it was advertised...as a portable desk or mobile work station. Unfortunately it wasn't nearly easy to use as I thought, my resolve even more sure as I lay in bed writing this review. Perhaps I should have played with various surfaces, like a table tray versus my lap, but it just didn't seem as comfortable as I expected. To me, the little ledge did not hold the IPAD as steadily as it appeared in the pictures. The side bands that offer support also don't seem to be as taunt as they should be. Now the positive things (which I think outweigh the other stuff). For me, I love the fact that this bag offers storage space for everything that you'd need for your IPAD if you were traveling or just jetting around town. Instead of the work station concept, I decided that I would use this bag primarily to protect my IPAD, as well as my accessories. In essence, this is the perfect all-in-one electronic travel case. This basic black bag has lots useful compartments that can be used to hold a keyboard (securely), adaptors, chargers, wires, pens, or virtually anything that you think you could use while working and traveling. And the bag can be carried by its versital handles or comfortable shoulder strap. And to be honest, as a girlie-girl, I love the fact that the bag is small, useful and compact. You could even throw it into an ever bigger purse, or just add your identification and a few dollars and travel to Starbucks and enjoy.
