this be a bag which really force you to pack light . even after read the dimension , I be surprise to find out that it will not accomodate a few sheet of letter size paper unfold . in the long run , however , it have rid I of the habit of keep lot of junk in my bag . I end up actually file thing , instead of carry they around for week ... the construction seem good to I , and I have no complaint with the velcro , and no need for stitch or pin . I carry a pda in a case , sunglass , some other gadget , and it work well . ca not really go wrong for the price too .
