Not all changes are improvements
The bag is not as good as its predecessor which I used for years until the wear and tear finally started to show.
- The older model had three pockets. The small front pocket was perfect for the phone, and an iPad Mini could be taken easily out from the back pocket without exposing the content of the whole bag.
- The locking mechanism was easy to use with just one hand. The new design requires both hands.
- There is no more a hook for the keys nor a secret card pocket.
However, there are no better alternatives with a similar, handy size, and the safety features.
