    The Best Small IT/iPad Bag Ever!

    I work out of my truck everyday so I'm in and out, on site, or traveling the back roads of Mississippi, I needed somewhere to keep my iPad, iPhone and all the cables and chargers that go with them....Enter, The Saddleback Tablet Bag! I keep my iPad Air 2 in the main pocket along with a composition notebook. iPhone in the rear pocket for easy access, all the cables, chargers, earbuds, pen, pencil, and iPod in the front pouch, with plenty of room to spare! Needless to say this bag will be with me everywhere I go for a long time to come...until my son takes it from me, at which time I will have to buy another or upsize to the Messenger Bag or Briefcase(I actually can't wait for that to happen....). Thanks for a great bag, and for keeping the lore of the handmade leather good alive and well.

    Murse

    I have become something of a minimalist in my middle age and do not want to carry things in my pockets so I have carried a tablet bag for several years. A friend has been talking up saddleback for sometime for a real bag - not the others that just keep wearing out. I got my tablet bag in three days by regular mail. Wow. Opened the shipping box and the smell of leather rushed through the room. I ordered the tobacco after much internal wrestling and I am ecstatic that I did. The bag is beautiful. I don't care if you call it a man purse. All I can say is you wish you had a murse this gorgeous. The quality of the craftmenship is magnificent. The color works for both casual and professional settings. Now for the negatives. I wish I had ordered the messenger or laptop bag. There really is not much more room in the bag but the essentials. Your tablet and cords and that is it. My fault though for not going up a size. My Surface Pro 2 with keyboard is a tight fit. I am hoping that with time the leather will stretch to more easily accomodate it. The exterior pocket, which is what drew me to this bag over the messenger bag, is difficult to get your hands in and prevents me from putting pens and other small items into it. A pen holdler and a key chain hook would be great additions to prevent you from having to fish them out of the bottom of the bag. Despite the negatives I will definitely order another bag.

    Man Purse - Consider Medium Satchel

    I just received my new Tablet Bag. As always, I was very excited to receive the new addition to my Saddleback armamentarium (the opening, smell and unveiling is an experience that only an affectionado will appreciate) . This is the seventh addition to my collection. I needed a day bag that I could cary a few books, planner, phone and possibly a tablet and this seemed to fit the bill. Because this is a relatively new piece there were not a lot of reviews or you tube un-boxings. I struggle with the visualization. My concern was size and appearance. Unfortunately for me, the size and style is a bit feminine. I asked several friends as well as my wife their opinion. The look and chuckles said it all. (Unanamous agreement - Man Purse) If a Man purse is what your after you will be very happy with this bag. Quality and price are right. If your a Gal and the style is right it might work. I think if they had a larger option like the satchel collection this could work for a dude. As a tablet bag it will fit a tablet but not much more, needs to be larger all round, key holder would be a plus as well as a side water bottle holder. I think the water bottle holder would make it less purse like. I would give it 5 stars it it had the above or was called the woman's purse. My recommendation: If you are a medium framed guy or larger and looking for a day pack check out the medium satchel. The downside is the satchel is double the cost but worth the extra money.

    A Great Purse

    I'm pretty much the Goldilocks of purses. I wanted something not too feminine, not too heavy, not too big, but big enough to carry my planner. It had to handle getting wet or getting banged around without ripping or staining. The cross body option had to be adjustable for my long torso and it had to be quality. Although I've had this bag on my wish list since it came out, I don't have a big budget so this was an investment piece for me. I rewarded myself after reaching a long-term goal. After using it for a few days, I quit looking for anything else. This bag is just right. I have a SBL Messenger Bag, pouch, and Bible cover that I use as a planner cover, so I knew the quality would be excellent. It works great as a purse. I can fit my planner and wallet easily in the main compartment with accessories in the front pocket. The front strap was a little hard to open at first, but has loosened up with use. My usual color is the Tobacco, but I went with the Coffee Brown on this one and am not disappointed. I'm glad it has the lighter interior. The weight is right for everyday use. The bag will stand on its own, so there is no dealing with a floppy purse. Also, the handle on top works well even if the bag is not latched in front.

    The Saddleback Leather Addiction Continues....

    2014 was a big Saddleback Leather year for me. My first piece was a dry bag, followed a bit later by a front pocket briefcase. Later in the year, I purchased a leather pouch and 3 more dry bags as gifts for friends. Finally, as an end of the year gift for myself, I ordered a business card case and the tablet bag. The tablet bag is yet another outstanding piece of utility, craftsmanship, and art. My wife calls it my man-purse, and I am fine with that. Plenty of space for more than an iPad - room for chargers, plugs, etc. A nice mini alternative to my front pocket briefcase when I don't need to take my laptop with me for the day, but I want my iPad and accessories and still want to be hands free. The business card case is gorgeous, but a tight fit for business cards - I'm sure it will loosen up over time and will allow me to stuff a few extra cards in there soon. Oh, and I have not mentioned this before in other reviews, but I really appreciate the long shoulder straps with all of the pieces. As a big man, often times shoulder straps make the bag ride up higher than I would prefer. Saddleback's generous straps allow even a big guy like me to wear them cross body like a bandolier and still not ride up to high. Just one more example of the quality and value of Dave's designs! So far, all of my personal pieces have been in tobacco, the dry bags I gave as gifts were chestnut and black. All the colors are gorgeous, but I am drawn to the tobacco. As I got on the site to right this review, I found myself eyeing the wallets...... hmmmm, maybe a nice large bifold wallet in chestnut would be just the thing to start the new year and add a little color variety to my personal collection.....
