AmeriBag Zena Shoulder 27774 Black
I bought this bag (in black) from ebags in March 2009. At the time, I had a first generation kindle in an original cover which fit. The bag has slot pockets on both the front and back that have magnetic closures. I carry an 8.5 x 6 inch notebook in the back pocket and now leave a neoprene sleeve in the front pocket for my new K2us and it slips right in and out as I have the opportunities to read.
I keep two reusable bags for groceries in the front zipper pocket and my wallet, keys, calculator, pens, and other small items in the zippered organizer pocket behind that.
I have a fairly large (4.5 x 3 x 4) camera that I keep in the center compartment with my mp3 player, and other larger items. My cell phone is stashed in one of the end pockets while my thumb drive, hair clips, and chapstick are in the other.
The back has no pockets outside the straps which I prefer. It keeps the side carried next to the body smooth and avoids snags in clothing. The straps are a little short (arm clearance is about 9 inches) and non-adjustable which means if you put file folders in one of the slot pockets, you won't want to carry the bag on your shoulder as it would crumple the folders.
It stays upright when you set it on a table or counter.
I love the silver lining. My black items do not get lost inside the bag. It is showing some signs of wear, but I've used it every day since I received it. I plan to replace it with exactly the same bag since the 3rd generation kindle should also fit.
I have had this bag for over a year now, carry it every day, and it is still in terrific condition. None of the zippers have broken, and the fabric still looks fresh and new. It resists dirt beautifully. I love all the pockets, and find the key fob to be particularly useful.
BalasHapusThe one thing I don't like about it is the strap - I wish it was longer so it could be worn across the body. However, I knew it was like that when I bought it, so I can't really say that is a mark against it.
I also bought the Rifton Messenger Bag, and it has a strap that can go across the body. However, I found it a bit too small for all the stuff I want to lug around. Zena wins, hands down.
I'm so glad I found this bag. Todays bags are either too big or too small and not very attractive. I like a shoulder bag and this one is perfect.
BalasHapusLove this bag, lots of room, lots of compartments to help organize. Definetly well made, I will certainly buy another when the time comes!!

I had the tear drop style bags for years but I was frustrated that if not perfectly balanced, they would keep sliding off my shoulders. This bag is perfect. It fits nicely and holds everything I need. I can find things quickly and everything is organized where I need it to be! I love it!

BalasHapusI have had a bag like this for the last 5 or more years...and love it. It has lots of separate compartments to organize stuff in. Although it is made of nylon it held up really well. I use the purse daily...and have even used it on my bicycle. I really wish they made a leather version of the same bag. The only part that ever wears out are the handles.
