I decided against many other options for this one because from the outside it seemed more durable than most, so I assumed it offered more protection. While I think that's true, it's a shame if you're storing something in an inside pocket, it has to be very thin, otherwise it'll put a lot of pressure on the hard drive when it's zipped shut. SD cards and my small MobileLiteG4 card reader work fine, but the USB cable that came with the hard drive makes me spend extra time making sure it's in the right position before I can close/compress it . Nothing bad but uncomfortable. I would give 5 stars if the size allowed a little more storage space in the inside pocket.
