Review on 👜 AmeriBag XS Distressed Healthy Stormy Women's Handbags & Wallets: Optimized Totes by Amanda Holmes

I also prefer the unlined version BUT I like the size. Everything I had in the next larger version fits in this size, but no wiggle room. Not sure if I can add a sweater, water bottle and my own ziploc with movie popcorn (shhh) BUT this size looks a little more "stylish". The padded pocket is big enough for my Kindle and probably an iPad mini. My iPad 2nd Gen will NOT fit in a padded case BUT if I just put it in the main part of my purse it will. You can also add a small handbag or things that are also not too bulky (e.g. flat). The zipper closes easily. . but it's nice to know I could get it there if I had to. Ameribag should consider making a padded bag with velcro so it can be removed. I suppose I could rip it out and use duct tape, but... . . it doesn't bother me much. TO UPDATE! The soft spots eventually got to me. . So I took out the padding in both places. He's not tied at all. Make slits (about 2 inches long), insert your fingers into the curl of padding (styrofoam) around your fingers, and pull out. Closing gaps with Bondex Outdoor Restore. I wanted to put it in my carry-on and now I can! Also gives me a little more space. . .My iPhone 4s fits in the larger of the two "magnetic" pockets. . but only with a small protective cover. If you have a mega Otterbox, this could be a stretch. Since there are two pockets instead of one, usually only flatter things fit in. Two packs of TicTacs fit into the smaller bag. It's new and I suspect the fabric will loosen up a bit with use. These bags are ideal for travel. . I feel good about it. I dated a girl in Fiji who had her purse stolen after withdrawing money from an ATM. VERY easy target, wallets. There is a different type of fabric on the top strap that feels less slippery than the nylon that the bag is made of. Someone mentioned before that there is no non-slip material - it's just a different fabric than before. A 16 oz plastic water bottle fits in the outer "back" pocket, but since this pocket is smaller, only half a bottle fits in the bag. Reliable enough to walk around NYC but may fall out if you run to the train. When I was in my 40's I traveled a lot around the world and had a day pack with my purse in it. After all, I grew up in Ameribag and graduated. Day package for adults!
