They quickly sold out, so I'll live with one of the side compression straps having fallen off. I eventually found another one months later in blue (no longer on sale) in a corner with some other one-of-a-kind items that I picked up as a backup. I travel almost weekly and I've gotten my money's worth and more out of this one.
Ahh, the laptop and tablet/charger organization looks great on that.
It also reminds me a lot of my Swiss bag that is falling apart in the pics above - the straps especially. How is yours holding up with regards to the straps? I carry a heavy load usually (30lbs or maybe even mroe) with it and I often pick it up and sling it with just the one right strap, which destroyed the Swiss bag.
