Heys USA Exotic Leopard TravelMate Sling Bag

I needed something like this while traveling to keep hotel key, car keys, camera, phone, tickets, etc. in one place, hands-free, securely, and easily accessible so I don't set things down and forget them, or have to dig through a backpack or disorganized purse while in airport lines. This bag fits the bill, and can hold quite a bit, though when you pack it full it loses the "slim" quality that is a big part of its appeal. I was disappointed in the water-bottle pocket, which is a feature I was really looking forward to--it's flimsy and not tall enough to hold a water bottle securely; also, the way its constructed, it has a tendency to push the bottle upward. I would not even trust something as short as a soda can to stay firmly in place without tipping. If I can figure out a way to add an elastic loop or something up higher, that might work; as-is, it's unusable. On the other hand, the cell phone pocket is deeper than it should be, so combined with how narrow it is, it makes getting to your cell phone not as convenient as I was hoping (it's like fishing it out of a tall tube). However, it's not a deal-breaker and it's really nice to know exactly where your phone is and be able to access it without fumbling through a purse. Wider phones like most smartphones would not fit in the phone pocket. Overall, worth having, but could be better.
