The Courier is a joy to use in almost every way. ThereвЂ™s also a rear, unzippable, document pouch with a sewn-in key ring.ДЄnd then thereвЂ™s the two Velcro strips that hold the flap closed. The iPad compartment is separated from a general compartment that easily holds a notebook and pocket camera along with a few other odds and ends. The interior compartment is kept incredibly simple, with a pocket the perfect size for an iPhone and two pen slots. While the wide nylon shoulder strap doesnвЂ™t have a pad for comfort, itвЂ™s soft enough, and the cargo is light enough, to not cause discomfort during long carries. The front pocket is lined in high-visibility orange so that you can find bits and pieces that you shove in there easier. Plush lining in the iPad pocket makes it easy to stuff an iPad in without feeling like itвЂ™s going to scratch. There are thoughtful touches throughout as far as build. It also feels very light, even though itвЂ™s a tad heavy at 1.7lbs. It gives the bag dimension and style, without feeling hodgepodge. The nappa leather flap, the denier nylon exterior, the rubberized bottom cap and the nylon twill lining all still feel very coherent. There are four distinct textures at play here and they all work together well. The Courier feels incredibly well made from the moment that you touch it. Unfortunately, two velcro strips put it just outside of completely perfect, but that actually might not make much of a difference for you as the rest of the package is so great. ItвЂ™s a great size, itвЂ™s incredibly well manufactured and it shows real thoughtfulness in the way that itвЂ™s put together. I can honestly say that the Booq Cobra Courier XS has come the closest out of any bag IвЂ™ve tried to being the best way to carry an iPad. When the iPad came out last year I knew it was going to be a while before really good bags started hitting the market but that didnвЂ™t stop me from trying out just about every one I though might be interesting. I have four for my laptop alone and dozens for my camera equipment.
