OP here. This thread got out of control. The bag arrived and it is exactly what I was looking for. I can actually squeeze my 13 inch laptop in there with the iPad and the chargers for both. With just the iPad it is very light. The bag is well made but it is soft without padding so it won't provide much protection. I keep the iPad in an apple case inside a net book sleeve so I'm not worried. Like the reviews said the leather was plasticy but I just rolled it around until it got soft. The bag gives a military surpluss fell after it get a little dirty and broken in. Definately doesn't give off the murse vibe. But the shoes I got to match do.
Got a tip for us?

Sorry dude, that's a man purse. I should know, I use a man purse.
Call it a messenger, call it what ever you want, it's still a man purse.
I'm quite comfortable carrying my bag around. I guess you could call it a small messenger bag. It fits my iPad, iPhone, wallet, and my two boy's DS's perfectly. I've also been able to carry my umbrella and a Starbuck banana bread treat as well.
My wife has no issue with me carrying it and I feel damn comfortable with myself as a man carrying it. And BTW, mine is European.
I guess to each his own, right?

I know...... I hope my wife doesn't kill me. So I actually got it in today and the vibe it gives off is very manly. No hidden pockets no extra looking features that serve no purpose and nothing shiny on it. To me it looks like if I saw it on the street i would think it had a book in it or writing material.
The ultimate man purse IMO
This is the ultimate man purse. Nobody is going to make fun of this guy's purse.

I ordered mine on Sunday. How long did it take to get yours and what color did you get?
Yeah, it costs a lot of money but something like this lasts a lifetime.

It took about a week to get to me but my location is a tad weird. I'm a contractor in iraq so the shipping address is a APO,AE. The color I got was tan which is a very nice color. I also got a brown NO. 155 card case so I can stop using a wallet altogether. I am actually surprised no one mentioned this case yet in this thread or any thread in the forum.
I got someone to take pics of me with it today to see what it would look like on a picture. So thats me and my new tan Billykirk case.

I like it "on" - wasn't keen on it "off". LOL!
I confess to being an early 40's "chick" though - so i'm not guessing i count for much in the opinion area either. OK, i'm a mom of 3 - i know i don't count at this point in life!
Enjoy the bag. And i will have to go hunting for the part for the no wallet - i'm always seeking solutions to that problem myself.

Everybody has a opinion which is how it will be with anything, I see the Wifi iPads arguing with the 3g iPads (pretty funny stuff). But another thing I like about the bag is it is about 1.5 " thick and about a tad over 11" tall , something a women wouldn't carry because it would cause the person to have to dump anything out to get to something on the bottom. And the bag is actually a exact copy of a WW2 map case which is pretty mucho if you ask me.
Thx for the compliment, it was actually really hard for me to decide on one alot of the ones out there are unisex type bags. So I am happy I found the Billykirk website because I was losing all hope there for awhile......LOL
Very cool.
Mine is more of a Unisex type bag even though it is from the Men's line. I like it and I got the big thumb's up from the wife on appearance so that is all that matters, right?
Your's is very "indy"-like.
You should show pics of the inside with the iPad inside. Just so we get an idea of interior size.

Thats a great idea, so thats what I did. With the iPad in its Apple case there is more room for something else if that something else isn't huge.

The thumbs up from the wife is a huge deal. Mine gave the thumbs up after I showed it to her via Skype today.
