Great Carry On Bag/Day Bag

I used this bag as a carry on for my recent trip to the Dominican Republic. It works GREAT for a carry on!. And a Day Bag. For the carry on, I carry a my Phone Charger, Phone Cable, The limited edition Medium Pouch - (as my Extra Holder for sitting in the plane seat) I also have the Long Tri fold wallet thrown in there as well - Just because. a few snacks and my car keys, With room to spare. I am a minimalist, So I do not carry a lot of clutter. It is really comfortable, and handy. The pocket in the back works great for throwing in your passport and boarding pass before you head to security. Its not too big or too small. In my opinion. I did not have to stow it under my seat, which it will fit. I was a huge fan of backpacks. But this works better. Its nicer looking, classier looking and it doesn't looking like your going camping or that sort of thing. It also takes the "weight of your shoulders" and the sweat of your back. I like it a lot. And i have the matching luggage tag as well

Perfect EDC for all & the New old leather is the bomb!!

Ok, had the old plasticky leather tablet in tobacco for a year or so. Found out through the grapevine that the soft textured suede like leather was returning. As fast as you can say "yippy skippy!" I put my old one on eBay and ordered one through LIZ in your chat department,(btw she is awesome as they all are putting up with me). Perfect edc for me, lightweight fits a lot and THE NEW LEATHER IS AWESOME! THANK YOU DAVE AND CREW FOR LISTENING YOU GUYS ROCK & DESTROY OUR WALLETS!!

Fits Mac and EDC, including big wallet

I'm a mid twenties woman; I wanted the smallest bag possible that could fit my 11 inch 2016 MacBook. It does this easily. My EDC is the big leather wallet from Saddleback, a mass market paperback book, my kindle, a softcover Moleskine, the SBL Gospel of John, two sets of keys, a highlighter, a glasses repair kit, and a tube of lipstick. The big wallet I carry vertically, and the bag still buckles fine. I can also carry it in the back flat pocket if I want more stuff in the main compartment. For the price I am very happy, and the more I compare features (pockets, size, price etc) with the satchel and other bags, I think I made the perfect choice.

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.

    No longer a Saddleback fan.
    I hate the new tobacco. It's repulsive looking. I paid full price and my bag is full of scars (an ugly dave's deal without the discount). I paid full price to avoid the drop in quality, still got this ugly crap.

    If only a little bit bigger...
    So, like many who have discovered SBL, this is one of many SBL items I own. I appreciate the craftsmanship that goes into each piece.

    I recently purchased this Tablet bag because I love the simplicity of it and thought I would love the size. It arrived ahead of schedule and was even better looking than I thought.

    If only it were a little bit bigger. So, I totally read the dimensions on the website and I'm not upset with SBL for not conforming. However, If the bag was just about an inch wider, it would:

    1. Fit my Chromebook.

    2. Fit 8.5 x 11 notebooks.

    3. (I think it would fit that huge ipad).

    4. Just be the perfect sized bag for when I don't want to use one of my big bags, or if I'm sticking it in my moto-side cases etc., but still want to bring a notepad or a little Chromebook and a tablet.

    Anyway, just want to say, love the company and products, but if only this was a tiny bit bigger. As it stands, my pre-wife just got a fantastic Tablet Bag. ;)
