"This is a great bag. The leather is soft and there is enough room to fit all I need. I don't have any trouble opening and closing the buckle like some of the other reviewers. I am in the Air Force which has strict regulations so I am limited on what I can carry in uniform. This bag is cute and is in regulation. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because I don't care too much for the shorter strap. I agree with a previous review that it should be removable."
