The bag itself is very well made! I have no problems with that part! The design "seems" good - However, the front "flap" is quite annoying, in practice. The lobster-claw clasps are awkward to open/close (may be better with press-stud, or magnetic clasps) - especially when you have older fingers.... And also having to flip this open to get to the main, large, compartment, quite often, becomes a chore. I went back to using my other bag. Sorry.
