Review on πŸ‘œ AmeriBag XS Distressed Healthy Stormy Women's Handbags & Wallets: Optimized Totes by Isabel House

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Fantastic case but not perfect for a shoulder bag

On the constant hunt for the perfect little Kindle sized case I ordered this case thinking it would be the right one. As a full-time working mom, I need a bag that's strong and durable enough to handle my life at home and presentable enough to take to work. I also like tiny to small bags as anything heavy is too heavy for my shoulders and I prefer crossbody bags as other bags slide off my shoulders. An additional challenge lately is finding a case that fits my Kindle Fire and allows me to carry it comfortably (the Fire is quite heavy). Aged nylon is a fantastic durable fabric that looks (at least in black) both casual and casual. worthy of office. The pockets in this bag are legendary and the zippers work great. The inner pocket (behind the zip pocket) is just the right size for my Kindle in a leather Roocase. This was a key feature for me as I don't want a case where my Kindle dangles or where it can lay flat and make the case uncomfortable. The problem with Ameribags is choosing the right size. Since I wanted the smallest bag, I ordered Extra Small, but unfortunately the length of the shoulder bag doesn't suit me. At 5'8" with this 15" bag, it doesn't go far enough down my back to fit properly, especially where the strap wraps around the side and across the chest. I did a great job on the shoulder, especially when worn in reverse (with a pocket in the front and a strap in the back), but I don't prefer pockets. I returned this and tried FUL Ditty (will return too, see another review) and Ameribag Distressed Nylon in Small and Large Baglett, both of which are Keepers (see their reviews). When it comes to the Healthy Back Bag, you can't go wrong with Revain and their great return policy. If you don't want to carry it over your shoulder and/or you're 5'4" or smaller, this bag could be perfect for you.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Long time
