The tabBag by UrbanTool stands out for so many reasons - great quality, solid protection, unique carrying strap design, and loads of pockets, slots and storage space for holding all the many gadgets and necessities that urbanites use on a daily basis. Yet in the eyes of some potential buyers, this tablet shoulder bag might stand out for the one thing that actually doesn’t stick out, the brand’s moniker (Surely those familiar with urban dictionary lingo know what I am talking about here.)

Pros

Fits any 9” to 11” tablet
Holds a lot of stuff
Strap allows multiple ways to carry

Cons

Can’t use the tablet while encased
Material easily collects dust and lint
High-end price

Overview

To say the tabBag can hold a lot of items would be an understatement. For starters, the interior compartment features a slot (12.2” x 8.27”) for storing any 10” or 11” tablet, and has an integrated pull-strap for instant device retrieval. Separate from this pocket, there is enough space inside to also fit a couple books, documents, an umbrella, and/or a pullover sweater or lightweight jacket. The exterior offers even more, there is a zipper pocket on the backside, and four neoprene slots on the front, one of which contains a yo-yo key chain. On the side of the bag are two pen holders, and there is an added loop on the shoulder strap for clipping a cell phone or music player so the device remains easy to reach for the user.

The tabBag is not too small, nor too large, bulky or heavy, but what can take some getting used to is the function of the original transformer belt strap. After a bit of practice, the transition from backpack to over the shoulder messenger-bag style becomes a cinch to do and something that could be easily accomplished while on the move. However wearing around the waist requires a bit more time, as the strap needs to be adjusted for a proper, secure fit. The tabBag is a durable design consisting of 100% organic canvas exterior and soft cotton interior lining. These materials combine via Velcro and zipper securing mechanisms to keep all valuable contents inside well protected against bumps, dirt, scratches, water and even a few accidental drops.

Features

Perfect for any tablet 9" - 11" in size

Big compartment A4 sized, lots of slots, pockets and pen cases
Convenient pull out feature for tabs
Key yo-yo
Adjustable transformer belt strap
100% organic canvas material

Rating	Description
	N/A
5.0	Functionality Like most bags, you won't be able to engage with the tablet while encased during transport. The storage slot is smart cover compatible and the interior compartment is certainly large enough to hold a portable, compact stand like the Matias iRizer. Mobile phone, music player, small digital camera, wallet, keys, lipstick, umbrella, a pack of gum - the tabBag can hold of these things and more.
4.0	Protection The materials here can shield all valuables stored inside from being harmed by dirt, dust, pushy commuters, traffic smog, rain, snow, scratches and accidental drops. Considering all the valuables one can pack into the TabBag, a security lock would have a been nice (okay, that's probably asking for too much).
5.0	Quality 100% organic canvas and cotton, neoprene, nylon straps, metal and plastic components, some faux-leather, Velcro and zipper securing mechanisms - the tabBag certainly has a lot going on, and Urban Tool has done a masterful job combining all these materials for withstanding heavy use in hectic urban environments.
4.0	Value The main drawback of the TabBag is its lofty price. But those who cherish a quality bag will pay just about any amount for one that suits their image and needs.
4.5	Overall: Great If you don't mind toting a solution with the word "urban tool" written on it, or paying a premium price, then the TabBag is a best case scenario for those who seek a quality and versatile gadget bag for urban treks.
