Functional Tech-Bag: Pockets A Bit Too Deep

I’m using this product as a daily "go-bag” or "tech bag”, where I keep all items that I might need to access on a regular basis. It’s a pain to keep having to run upstairs to find a certain cable or when I’m in the car and I forget to bring something, like my sunglasses. Therefore, I keep this bag with me at all times, whether I’m in my house or car.I don’t really take the bag out in public or wear it on a regular basis (I leave it in the car when I go out). I typically carry the bag by the top handle. The extra fabric belonging to the strap can be shorted by tucking it through a loop, which prevents it from flopping all over the place. However, the strap is great for when I get out of the car and my hands are full. The bag itself is sturdy and the material is of high quality. I’ve been using it everyday now for a month or two and there are no signs of wear and tear.You can fit quite a lot of items in the bag for its size. I have a rollup organizer full of cables/charging bricks, four pairs of glasses (two eyeglasses and two sunglasses), car keys, wallet, phone, iPad mini, AirPods, and an external battery. With all of that there is still room for additional items, such as my Bose over the ear headphones (not in their case) and a Nintendo switch, if I’m traveling.There are also a ton of pockets, but this brings me to my one negative point. The pockets themselves are all large/deep, which makes it difficult to gain access to certain items. For example, I have to dig through the front-most pocket every time I want to retrieve my wallet. To combat this issue I now have some miscellaneous items stashed in the bottom of the pocket, but if I want these items I must pull everything out to find them. This same problem is encountered in pretty much every compartment of the bag, which could be solved by creating more pockets and making them smaller. After all, most everyone who would buy a bag such as this will likely be using it to store smaller items. If you were to throw loose objects in the bag, then it would be a complete mess. You need to buy other products in which to store your small items in order to keep organized, but even then you’ll have to dig.At any rate, overall I really like the bag and still use it everyday. I deducted one star for the pockets being too deep. I love the size of the bag itself and would gladly pay a high price for a similar sized sling bag that has better forethought with regard to the design.

Pros
  • Messenger Bags
Cons
  • May not have enough cushioning for electronics
