About iPad Messenger Bag:
Our bag perfectly coddles your iPad "au natural" or while inside one of our handmade horizontal sleeves. Behind the dedicated iPad pocket is a generous large interior area with ample room for files, folios a sweater and two velcro strips for our accessory system --we've even created two small front pockets for your pens or keys. Travel light. Travel fast.
A Functional Approach:
We've designed an innovative accessory system designed to work seamlessly with our Zero Messenger Bag family. Continuing our philosophy of minimal, sustainable design, each bag has three strips of velcro designed to hold accessories that can add function to your bag. We believe your bag should adapt, and our accessory system allows you to easily change your bag's configuration. Here's our full line of interchangeable velcro accessories, and we're steadily working on more.
About Design:
We pride ourselves on following our three F's of design, Form Function and Footprint, to craft a quality product with urban communing in mind. Next time you're in town, we invite you to come take a tour of our San Francisco factory to see where each and every Zero is made.

First off, everyone I spoke with at Rickshaw was great - I think it was three, maybe four different people. I added to my order two (maybe three?) separate times and everything was delivered as requested.
I have been using my bag regularly and I am sooo glad it is the size it is. Nature abhors a vacuum and it serves one of my desired purposes of being unable to carry even more stuff. It works fine for me as is. In case it doesn't show by default, my bag is a customized messenger for iPad 2 with a simple internal (Velcro) bag and a cross strap. The cross strap length adjuster could use more friction - well, I mean for the loose longer end. The actual length I set holds fine.
I carry my iPad with charger, large Moleskine, a book, pen/pencil, and a variety of other stuff.
I've had the bag etc since the end of 2011 so have had time to run everything through its paces. Flap has not curled significantly. This was a worry for me pre-purchase due to the single Velcro flap strip.
I do suggest sewing the iPad slot bottom slightly higher than the bag bottom. Maybe a bit of padding at the bottom of the slot as sewing it higher may create more difficult manufacture. This would add a bit more protection for the iPad when the inevitable bag-drop occurs off a hook or the back of a chair or via butter fingers. Just sayin', and I have not experienced damage.
Would I buy it again, knowing what I know? Absolutely yes. Would I buy more RickshawBags product? Yes, based on my current experience and as long as they continue to be made in the United States.

My iPad fits perfectly. I do have a case on my ipad which makes the bag a little heavy. You might want to buy the cushioned shoulder strap. I thought it would be to small but it's just the right size. So glad I got the waterproof it's been raining alot here in Texas. Great quality thinking of buying another.

The messenger bag, which I refer to as my "man purse", is a great replacement for the clunky briefcase I carried for years.

Love it!
Could use more support on the flex line so it's easier to close without pulling it straight first, but that's a minor thing.

I love this bag. It was my first Rickshaw product and I've gone on to buy a couple more based on the quality and comfort. I have always liked messenger bags but this is the most comfortable one that I've ever owned. It is minimalistic but does everything I could want. The small side pockets are perfect for pens, small cell phone or keys. The iPad pocket fits my iPad in a case and the larger compartment is perfect for my notebooks. I highly recommend this for your iPad.
