I had ordered the mini but it was just too small for what I needed it for. This one on the other hand is perfect! I used it as my carry-on on a recent business trip. It kept my things organized and easy to get to and fit nicely under the plane seat in front of me. I used it the entire weekend at the conference. The strap turned it into a back pack and made it easy for me to carry. I also can't say enough about the quality of the bag itself. The fabric is water resistant but BEAUTIFUL. The pink on the inside really makes the whole bag. EXCELLENT!!! Highly recommend.
