You get what you pay for I guess. I really liked this bag because of the protective paddings, and the boxy shape that made it easy to keep all the equipment organized in there. I've actually had two of them. First one broke after a year or so, thought I was just unlucky but then the second one broke within the first month (the shoulder straps on the back). I guess a laptop, headphones, and a UAD Apollo was too heavy to carry around for those shoulder straps to last. Might be better using the clip-on strap that attaches to the sides instead tho... Either way it's a nice bag for traveling producers/engineers and it's really cheap but the quality is what it is...
