Customer Reviews Osprey FlapJill Mini Pack

I've only had this bag for a few days now, but I already love it. I am fairly short (5'5") and the Mini is just right for my height and is perfect for my short bike ride to work. I can fit my e-reader, a small wristlet and wallet, my phone, iPod, my bike lock, and a small lunch bag inside. Without the lunch bag and bike lock, there's room for a change of clothes and a few toiletries, or a water bottle. Overall, the organization is great - there aren't too many pockets or sleeves, the bag is easy to secure and open, and the easy access pockets are good for keys and other small things. The main compartment is roomy, considering the small size of the bag. I can't comment on the water resistance yet. There are two main things that I think could be improved. The strap is comfortable and easily adjustable, but unless I'm missing something, there's nowhere to tuck the extra material. The bag is most comfortable for me sitting a bit higher on my back, so the strap has been shortened quite a bit. This probably won't be an issue for taller people or people who like to have the bag sit lower. And this is just a quibble, but the pocket labeled for the mp3 player barely fits my iPod Touch, so it'd be nice if it were a little larger. But I can just put the iPod in the other pocket.

Purchased this bag to carry my iPad in and, overall, I like it. It is lightweight and roomy enough to carry a few extra items in. It is just the right size to carry a tablet or smaller laptop. The strap is adjustable, and the floral design is pretty but not too girlie. This bag appears to be very well constructed. I ordered this bag in Jet Black, but the color is actually gray. I wasn't bothered enough to send it back but I took one star away for that and the little green strap which doesn't match the rest of the bag.

I love this bag! It's the perfect size and the color and design is exactly what I was looking for. Most messenger bags look too masculine so I was very happy to find this cute option. Along with the dimensions listed in the description, the name has the word Mini in it so if you're looking for a larger bag, this probably wouldn't be a good choice!

Really cute bag with lots of small compartments and is really lightweight. It can get cramped if you need to put a lot of things in there, but I'm a minimalist and needed a light bag for my poor back. Also, it fits my iPad with case and folders with 8x11 sheets.

The perfect bag the perfect size! Size compartments. Comfortable. Holds my journal, planner, water bottle and random junk and papers I haul to and from work.

I was looking for a messenger bag to use for everyday needs, and I shopped around for a while between finding this one. It perfectly fits my 13 inch MacBook and the chargers, as well as notebooks I needed. It is comfortable and works great when I need to take it on my bike. Overall, fantastic.

Function tonal, durable as well as cute. Took this on a 3 week trip to the UK and France and carried it everywhere. Big enough to hold iPad, wallet, larger Canon camera and guide books- as well as all the other small stuff. Love the zippered pouch in the front and side, and the separate area on from for cell phones. Great closure (Velcro and a clicking fastener). Felt reasonably stylish- and all contents secure. I would highly recommend -- a great value as well!

I needed a bag that would hold all my purse stuff plus an iPad for the times I need to walk into work for meetings. I have a 40 minute walking commute each way. I don't like having a big thing on my back, so backpacks are out, and I like to be able to reach in easily for my phone without having to heave something off my back. Standard-sized messenger bags are overkill unless I need to take my laptop, and my leather shoulder bag wasn't cutting it. So I went searching on Zappos for a small sized messenger bag. This bag is perfect. It's very lightweight, has a very comfortable adjustable padded strap, and holds everything I need for my weekly trips. This bag will easily hold an iPad in a case, two eyeglasses cases, wallet, large cosmetic case, water bottle, compact umbrella, 5x7 notebook, and various smaller items. I like the outside zipper pocket for my phone so I don't have to open the bag when my phone rings. It has two additional zipped compartments under the flap which I also like - one of them has a hook for keys. I also really like that the lining is not black, so I can find stuff in there. It is very sturdy and well designed - it can be lifted by the handle even if the buckle isn't fastened without stuff falling out. It isn't that beautiful - I'm not crazy about the flower design printed on the outside. But it's my go-to bag for walking with a moderate load.

I love this bag. I got it right before a trip and it worked out beautifully. You can fit so much in it and it looks very nice. I'm always getting compliments on it. And of course, the delivery from Zappos was fast!

Love this bag. I am going on a 6 month trip through the states and europe and this bag is perfect for carrying my laptop, phone, camera, wallet etc. perfect set of pockets inside and love the shoulder strap with extra osprey style support

I've never owned a crossbody bag before. Absolutely loved it. I bought it before leaving on vacation--great in the airport as well as on top of a mountain. Easy access to passports, then easy access to the camera and small video camera later. Highly recommend.

This bag is great! I bought the khaki color. Just the right size to take all you would need! Very trendy and every time I have taken this bag along, at least one person will say that it’s a nice bag! If you are looking for a laptop bag, then this may be a little too small. However, you can take a laptop in it, but that is all it will hold!

I got this bag as a handbag, and it's perfect! I can fit my wallet, a book, and other assorted purse items with ease. Lots of pockets for my phone, Chapstick, a hairbrush. Well made and well worth the price. It was cheaper than a few other similar small messenger bags, and I'm really happy I went with this one.

I really like the bag! I am using it right now on a trip to the Dominican Republic. I have a 22 month old baby and it works well for diaper bag, too. There is not a ton of space but it is a very manageable size.

Just the right size for travel. Bought khaki color for my travel to Asia. It is durable, stylish and withstand rain and dust. Wish it came with a zipper for the main compartment. But the inner draw cord held up all my stuff well. It has a good quality workmanship!

This is an awesome little bag. My only slight complaint about it really isn't its fault--I found it by searching for laptop bags that would fit my MacBook Air. And while it totally will fit in the bag, and the bag is padded to protect it, it's not really a laptop bag, i.e., there isn't a separate pocket for the laptop that keeps it protected from your other stuff in the main compartment. So I probably won't use it as a laptop bag after all, but just as a super cool regular messenger bag.

Bought to use for travel and for camera. Originally ordered the larger bag, but it was too big, so I exchanged for this one, and I like it a lot. I over-filled it, but that was my doing. I found it was definitely not big enough to hold 2 dSLR camera bodies with lenses attached. I love the multiple pockets, both inside and out. I love the flap instead of a zippered top, and the padded strap. I only gave it 4 stars for two reasons. #1- when it is full, and you grab it by the handle on the outside top of the flap, it will open if the buckle isn't latched. #2-the grippy stuff on the padding of the strap isn't quite grippy enough. I felt like I was constantly having to adjust it on my shoulder when it wasn't slung across my body. I feel a few extra strips of Velcro would've kept it from opening when grabbing it by the top handle. I used it in both Paris and NYC rain deluges and the drawstring inside kept my items dry, as did the exterior. I felt it was stylish and girly enough, without looking manly, like a lot of unisex bags do. If there were more shoulder grip and a few more strips of Velcro it would be a solid 5 stars.

I just received this bag in the mail, and I'm not sure yet if I will keep it. It is a well-made bag with good storage & small pockets (one side and two in front, under the flap). It is comfortable to wear cross-body. I ordered the bag to take on a trip to Rome, for carrying around a water bottle, guidebook, and map, and I also wanted to be able to use it as my personal item on the plane (carrying my laptop in it). My two concerns are this: (1) my MacBook Air 13" doesn't really fit in the built-in mesh sleeve, although the laptop does fit in the main compartment when in my personal sleeve (2) there is no side sleeve for a water bottle (which I thought there might be, based on the pictures). I think I may still keep it because it is a sturdy, cute bag that seems to suit its purpose.

This bag is great for travel or a busy weekend on the soccer fields, errand running, etc. I bought it for a trip to Disney World and it was perfect. Lightweight, kept things organized, and loved the crossbody feature! It is also easy to wipe clean if needed. Great purchase!

This bag is smaller than I thought it would be. It fits my 10.1" tablet just fine. The large compartment also holds my wallet, checkbook, e-reader, sunglasses, and two small zip bags (4"x5.75", & 4"x6") containing with miscellaneous items. My wallet is short & fat, and takes up a good bit of room. When the main compartment is full, the two zip pockets can't be fully utilized. I think this bag will work, but I'm wishing I got a bigger one.

Had my bag for a couple of years and see no signs of wear. However, I don't carry it every day but when I travel it is the perfect bag for my tablet and whatever I need easy access to. It went to Europe when I first got it and is going to Costa Rica in September.

Best cross over bag for a female...this is such a great bag! This bag is just the right size for everyday to and from work and yet I can pack for an overnight stay as well. The strap is super comfy and and all the pockets are great! I highly recommend this bag!

This is a perfect little bag with all the right pockets and zippers. It is just what I was looking for and is very comfortable to wear. I especially love the Velcro pocket inside which I use for my daily calendar instead of a tablet/small laptop. I love this bag!

This bag blew away my expectations. I have an 11" Macbook Air, and I have been trying to find a smallish bag that will hold it. The tablet compartment in this bag is big enough to hold the Macbook perfectly. The pocket is also much more padded than I expected, so it should protect nicely. There are just about the right number of pockets/stash spots in this bag to hold everything you need for daily life plus the computer and peripherals. And, best of all, it is small enough to be a handbag. So I can bring it all with me, and still just look like I'm going out to the store.

This is a good bag! Big enough to hold my tablet, but not too clunky. I like the side zipper pocket - good for easy access to my phone/camera while traveling (though it's not very big). Inside, there are two zip pockets with a key fob and a couple organization pockets, which are fantastic. In the main compartment, there is the velcro tablet pocket, and then lots of space for a guidebook, umbrella, and water bottle. Last but not least, I really like the clip and velcro flap - makes me feel pretty secure. The only way it could be improved: add a flat slide pocket on the back, to hold a map or magazine.
