It's not necessarily a bad thing style-wise, but it is if you ever plan on going out somewhere that is less than friendly with it.

I only wish you could be able to sling it over one should much like a small backpack and rather than the side carry mode. I like the bag, good looking and compact.

I have a Colossus versipack and a Sitka gearslinger. The Colossus is big enough for my Samsung Q1 Ultra, and I think it would fit most 7" and 8.9"/9" netbooks as well. It'll will certainly hold the various MIDs I've seen (I used to put my N810 in it, inside of a pelican case with foam liner). However, it's not big enough for any of the 10" netbooks I've seen. So, I decided to upgrade just in case I had to have a 10", or if I wanted to put in a little more gear and accessories (for example, it can carry the Samsung Q1 Ultra, but not the USB keyboard for it). I was otherwise quite happy with the Colossus (except that it doesn't have a comfortable hand handle, like some of their other bags do). The Sitka is what I upgraded to. It definitely has room for a lot of extras. I carry the Q1U in one pocket, the Q1U's USB keyboard in the rear-most pocket (the one that can be used for a camel-pack water resevior), a rain poncho (just in case), a wool scarf (just in case), the Q1U's charger, a selection of USB cables, a charger cable for my G1, the pelican case that used to carry my N810 (but now carries a USB hard drive, for syncing my work/home/mobile data), my umbrella, various reference books and note pads, etc. The small pouch at the top of the bag has a portable USB hub, and various other things I "might" need. And, really, I haven't even begun to push the limits of the bag. I had also added the Anemone Pouch to one of the ends of the Colossus' carry straps, to use it as a cell phone pouch ... but I wound up never needing it. That does, however, bring up one of the things I love about Maxpedition products: they use military ALICE gear straps for attachments. So, if you see a small pocket/pouch/organizer product that you like, and you just wish its features were available on some other bag, it's often just as simple as buying some ALICE clips/straps and attaching the smaller product to the bigger one. The current straps for that, that they sell, are called "TacTie" straps. They come in two lengths, and they're a lot easier to work with than the hard plastic MALICE clips. And, that process is exactly what I did with my Sitka. The Sitka bag doesn't directly have anything I'd call a really useful place to secure pens and pencils. But, the E.D.C. Pocket Organizer does. So I bought one, and attached it to the outer pocket cover of the Sitka. Now I have a really nice selection of pen/pencil/etc. loops on my Sitka bag. I also attached the UFBS to the single channel of ALICE straps to use for securing my collapsible umbrella. Between the poncho, umbrella, scarf, cap, and gloves, I'm pretty well covered for rain, surprise cold snaps (not really likely this time of year, but it did happen here 3 months ago). And the poncho and umbrella will help protect the gear inside the bag if that happens. The only real downside is that maxpedition gear can be a bit expensive. But, it's also rather well constructed. The gear is intended to be used for rugged outdoor/hunting/etc. use, or for use by armed couriers and military contractors. These aren't school book bags, they're combat ready gear. That should be more than sturdy enough for commute warriors like me :-) Colossus: http://www.maxpedition.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=4&idproduct=379 Sitka: http://www.maxpedition.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=2&idproduct=926 Anemone: http://www.maxpedition.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=7&idproduct=170 E.D.C Pocket Organizer: http://www.maxpedition.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=14&idproduct=961 UFBS Sheath: http://www.maxpedition.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=9&idproduct=238 I personally am rather fond of the Maxpedition products.
