Fantastic bag! I read every single review posted here, so I was fully aware of the potential "cons." I would like to first point out the manufacturer apparently read these reviews and decided to start including the luggage lock keys (3 of them, as a matter of fact). Locks are fully functional, so that was a pleasant surprise. Second, users who say you can't fit a smart phone aren't trying. I easily fit my iPhone 6 in the side phone compartment. No chance you could get a 6+ in there, but the 6 is a nice, snug fit.The one true con pointed out (accurately) by other reviewers is the straps are absurdly long. I'm 5'6, and the length of the straps are laughable. They would be too long for my 6'2+ boyfriend. However, this is an easy fix. I took the bag to a local leather shop (think saddlery, not shoe cobbler), and they "shortened" the straps by undoing the stitching at the bottom of the padded part of the straps, pushing the excess length up into it (thereby not having to actually cut the leather), and stitched it back up. Total cost: $25. I also splurged $40 to have them condition the beautiful, supple leather to help break it in and weather proof it.In short, this is one of the best purchases I've ever made. The quality is phenomenal making this price point an amazing value. If you want a beautiful, soft, supple leather bag you can travel the world with, you've found it. Just make sure you have a good leather shop to shorten the straps!
