Love this product...Ordered the recommended leather conditioner which created a gorgeous richer color and feel and I feel like it's protected. Running the strap across the buckles on the sides near the fold of the flap to wear across body pushes a buckle into my side, though; a bit of uncomfortable rubbing as I walk, So I set it up like a backpack and pull one side out to carry on one shoulder. Not as secure as it would be across the body, but works great.
