I'm kind of on the same page as the other reviewers. The Crumpler Web site is difficult to use - way to flashy and gimmicky. The bag itself is moderately cool, but $95? Not out of my pocket! I bought a Kensington Messenger bag at Circuit City for $30 a few days ago. Fortunately, they also carried some Crumpler bags, so I was able to compare the two. The Kensington bag was built better, built sturdier, and almost $70 cheaper. My guess is that Crumpler's cost of goods is 10% of their selling price. The other 90% goes to establishing their coolness factor which isn't cool if you can't afford the bag. Next!
