This case is exactly what I had expected, based on the photos and dimensions posted. I was careful to analyze the sizes lf what I wanted to put into it, so there were no surprises. The overall width says 6.5 inches, and I wasn't sure if a 1.75" thick book would fit into one of the 3 sections on the vertical access side, but it fits in either of two of them just fine (a 2" thick book might be a tight fit). The only 'issues': 1. The leather is so fine that almost any scrape or scuff marks it. (Any minor scuff can simply be rubbed back into shape.) 2. I use this case at meetings (with it on the floor beside my chair) and normally want to have free acces to its contents, especially on the side thats divided into 3 sections. Additionally, I would like to rest books on the top of the open case periodically throughout the meeting. The flap 'hinges' of the case are quite stiff, and they don't currently allow the flaps to lie flat open, but I presume with a bit of use and encouragement they eventually will. I can only hope this won't result in some unsightly buckling of the leather hinges, as the flaps don't seem to be designed to remain open.
This is an excelent briefcase if you are looking to organize paperwork, books, notebooks, etc. There are plenty of compartments without the bag being too bulky. Additionally, it is very stylish. I have received many compliments on it.
The finish is of poor quility and marks easily. After only a few months looks like it is worn out. Even the handle has lost its finish.
This briefcase is very roomy. I can almost carry all my files with me all the time. It allows me to carry large books without straining the case
This briefcase is very bulky and boxy . In person it looks more like a suitcase than a briefcase. In addition, due to the many compartments it is only practical for papers/files that are separated into small groups. A single large folder of papers would have to be divided up in order to fit inside.
