I use my FlipJill as my personal portable office. It holds my laptop, phone, wallet, keys, pens, pencils, two water bottles, and anything else even a jacket or extra flip flops. I love how I can organize everything into different pockets, so I can easily find everything swiftly! In some ways I wish I had bought the FlapJill backpack instead, because I think it would be more comfortable when I'm walking or waiting in lines. I don't like having weight on just one shoulder. However, on a bike, it's great because the weight is distributed better. I think I'm more of a backpack person than a courier person, in retrospect. Nevertheless, this is my favorite bag and I use it daily!

Really love the 2 new features: place for bottle on the side and under the handle is perfect for the phone

I just used this courier on an airplane trip that involved layovers in each direction. I found that once I was in my seat on the plane, it was close to impossible to get into the bag. I should have expected that since it had the flap. It was too large to put on the tray table. I wish there had been some type of access through the flap to get at my tablet or other items in the bag. I also wish there was an exterior pocket that would hold my boarding pass. I ended up carrying that in my hand after going through security. Even a slip-in pocket on the back would have helped with that - and with the tablet. I found the shoulder strap wasn't enough to keep the bag on my shoulder once it was fully packed. I used it as a cross-over, but that was too heavy on the side of my neck. I wish there were shoulder straps to wear it as a backpack instead. I love the exterior water bottle pocket. Easy to get at. However, I do love the bag and will use it on all my travels. On the return, I'd added a small plastic bag to hold the things I wanted access to on the plane. Once on board, I removed that bag and stuffed the FlapJill under the seat. Perfect!
