This case is fantastic. It looks great, functions perfectly, can hold a laptop and all business papers. Only negative is that you need to buy a laptop slip to ensure you don't damage your computer.

I use the bag to carry all things that can't be left in my truck overnight. I needed a bag that was durable looked good and was easy to get my things with out.
My only complaint is the top flap covers all openings back to front so it makes it difficult for me to get things out at times.
Over all its a great bag I love it .

This is a really nice briefcase. The design is simple, classy and functional. It can be used as business or casual. Good quality and the leather is soft. I use this briefcase everyday for work. I use it for my portfolio planner and important documents. The two inner side pockets are useful where I can put my checkbook, CDs, portable hard drive and an extra network cable. The inner pockets could use somekind of closing button like magnetic buttons like the outer flap uses. Also, the main compartment only has enough room for a number of items. I can fit a 15inch laptop inside, my planner and loose papers but that's it. Not good for college books either, not enough room. Also, the strap is 1 inch wide which is too thin and can probably snap if you have too much items inside. The cell phone pouch is too small for my TREO phone. I use it for my ipod nano instead. Overall I like it very much.

I carry files and folders in the case. My concern is the folders and files bending to the contour of the bag. The bag is lacking rigidity. It seems to lack a hard internal support board, or separator.

Actually I cannot say enought good things about this bag. My husband would have never been spotted using a man bag until he got this one for Christmas. He carries a lot of things with him, including work and personal items, a lot of electronics, men stuff, etc.. He fell in love with this bag. It has a lovely layout inside and out but the only downfall at first is getting used to finding where something may be. There are many pockets inside for specific items but he was not used to putting them in certain places until now, he is getting used to finding things. There is nothing bad at all I can say about the bag. The price was wonderful, the color is beautiful and the quality is top notch. Like I said, if my 6'2" husband will carry a bag around, any man will feel comfortable carrying this one. Also, he can fit his computer in the bag with his other personal items. It is not humungous either. We both love it!

 
Beautiful leather but some problems.
By cellobassoVerified Reviewer from Los Angeles, CA on 1/14/2008

Cons:
Flimsy Construction, Inadequate Capacity, Not Secure, Strap way too thin

Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I love the quality and beauty of the leather but: I thought I could use this bag everyday, but it seems a bit too small (unless you carry just a laptop and a few documents), it does not close well or easily (magnets not very efficient and buckles are useless, just cosmetic) so things can fall off the bag. It is not very stable when put on a flat surface and the strap might break anytime because it is too thin for that design.Too bad, I loved the look of this bag.

I have spent a lot more on briefcases over the years. This is simply the best one ever. I can carry my laptop, IPOD, Palm and important documents with no problems. The soft leather and look have people believing I spent another $600 or up. My previous briefcase was stolen and needed a quick replacement, I got it [...]. I will continue to buy from this vendor.

This case is perfect for my needs. The shoulder strap may be to thin to carry lap top and a full load of documents over time. So far so good.

This bag is great for holding lots of stuff. My 14.5 inch laptop and sleeve fit in it perfectly, along with textbooks and other materials.

The design is attractive and the leather quality is great. The only that I didn't like about it is the cellphone holder, which I have no use for. I prefer to keep my phone in my pocket.

Overall, I love this bag!

I bought this item as a gift for my son for his graduation from college and his entry into the world as a school teacher. He loves it. The leather is soft and there is plenty of room for his laptop as well as his student's school assigments. Great Product.

This is a nicely looking bag, made out of good leather. On the down side, it has flimsy shoulder strap (that is glued in so you can't replace it even if you wanted to). Strange, narrow phone pocket outside (who uses this style of phones anyway?) and weak bottom make it too expensive for the design/quality you get.
