Love the functionality

I just received this bag 2 weeks ago and I was loving it. Not too small, not so big. I was happy that they redesign this bag, very convenient to have the open pocket without any closure strap.I can put my 2 cellphones, lotion, wallet and still has rooms for my keys. I had been waiting this kind of bag, I use it as my crossbody bag. Got this in DCB from the Dave's deal. and againI recently ordered another one in tobacco (also from the Dave's deal) and I am very happy to add these two in my collection.

Fits 13" slim laptop plus

I've had this for five years and love it. I used it during university to fit a small laptop, a textbook, pens and whatnot, and a can of coke. When I first got it, I loaded it with heavy books and hung it by the strap over a chair. This helped expand the compartments and shaped the strap nicely. The can of coke was a tough squish but did fit. If no textbook then it's fine.

The only problem I've experienced is a few stray bits of stitching poking out of the layers. I've snipped these off and nothing has unravelled so I assume it's all fine!

Ideal daily carry

Just received my new Saddleback Tablet Bag. Quality, as expected, is impressive and it appears ideal for my intended purposes: carrying daily essentials and an occasional light flight bag. It’s solid, rugged, has plenty of room for everyday gear including my Saddleback wallet. I often take short commuter flights and only need to carry the basics. A heck of a lot more stylish than a backpack. It’s just what I needed.

12.9" iPad Pro CAN Fit In Here

I originally got this as a gift for my iPad 2, and I recently upgraded to the 12.9" iPad Pro and was worried it wouldn't fit in the bag. Just wanted to report that it takes some finagling, but the 12.9" iPad Pro CAN fit in this bag. I say "can" because it certainly isn't the size tablet it was designed for, and the top corners peek out and left a bit exposed, but it's in there. Extra room for charger and Airpods and Kindle as well. It does not smoothly slide in or out of the bag, but definitely still usable if you have upgraded to the larger tablet.

The leather used in this leather tablet bag is full grain cowhide, which is the strongest and most durable type of leather available.

Design Of The Front Pocket Leather Satchel

This leather satchel can also be called a Man Bag. And rightly so. It is over-engineered with no breakable parts like snaps, buttons, zippers, velcro, etc. Anywhere there is a stress point, it is reinforced with polyester straps and rivets. It's built with just two main pieces of leather, so there are fewer seams. And the stitching on this leather satchel is purposeful with only five stitches per inch, so there's as much leather as possible without it looking weird, so it won't be perforated and shortly tear. This satchel makes the most incredible Leather Tablet Bag.

Materials To Make The Coolest Leather Tablet Bag

The leather used in this satchel is full grain cowhide, which is the strongest and most durable type of leather available. The lining is made of pigskin, which is stronger than cowhide, and the thread is a marine-grade German Polyester thread that is UV resistant. The hardware is made of 316 Stainless Steel, which is the metal of choice when your life depends on it. You can not find the quality of materials used anywhere else.

Full Grain Leather

Our full grain cow leather is the strongest there is. And it's thicker than boot leather. It's not Top Grain or Genuine, but natural Full Grain leather. Low quality and life companies shave off their grain, the toughest and most resistant top part of the hide, to get rid of the natural marks of the cow, so they don't have to cut around them and throw so much leather away. They can use almost every bit of that hide.

Their target customer will shop by price rather than care about the critical information about the materials used. They are trying to reach the uneducated, those that will take less time to research quality before they order. To make our leather satchels, we must throw a lot of leather away because we refuse to shave the grain off. Imagine someone shaving the shingles off of your roof. They'd get arrested, and these people should be too.

Lining Of This Tablet Satchel

The pigskin lining is stronger than the cow skin, and that's why we use it to line our leather satchel instead of some pretty shiny nylon fabric with a neat world map on it.

Thread To Keep Your iPad Pro Safe

The thread is strangely strong. It's a marine grade UV resistant German thread made of Polyester. It's more expensive than all the other threads, but for a reason. When someone's life is on the line, you can depend on it. They sew parachutes, sails, and other important things with this thread. If your life ever depends on this leather satchel staying together, you'll live to tell that story because of this thread.

The Best Hardware

Our hardware is custom, and it's overkill. People who know told me it's unnecessary, and we're wasting money using 316 Stainless Steel, but I tell them that we have never once had a problem with our hardware. It's the metal of choice when your life depends on it.

Functionality Of This Leather Tablet Satchel

This leather tablet bag, or leather iPad bag, depending on your preference for Apple products, or android products, will protect your device just as well. It's big enough to fit an iPad Pro and several other items. As a full grain leather man bag, it will help you have a place for all your stuff, so you don't have to load your pockets down or have your wife carry everything in her leather purse or tote.

The straps are adjustable, so you can make it as tight or loose as you want.

I chose a buckle closure to be able to overstuff (with a hole at the very tip of the strap, just in case). Or you can put it at the tip of the leather satchel to secure an umbrella under the flap but over the main compartment. And the front pocket under the flap is fantastic for keeping things separate.

    Ruggedly Handsome Bag
    I've been in search of a go to cross body leather bag that can carry a Kindle, my slim Bible, sunglass case, car keys, wallet, a point and shoot camera, my cell phone, earphones, and a bottle of water. So I came back to Saddleback Leather and voila! I found this ruggedly handsome tobacco tablet bag in the perfect happy medium size that I need!



    Superb craft quality is evident in Saddleback Leather products that reflects substance, kind of like my character!
