Holds my iPad!Vinyl feels rugged, and the clear sleeve fits modern maps or devices like my iPad. The shoulder strap is handy.

AwesomeThe map case is super cool. The fold-out map compartment actually works great for keeping documents dry, and the vinyl construction feels really rugged.
Unique bag for work

Great to have on campus.I bought this to use as a daily bag, and it works surprisingly well. The size is just right to hold a tablet and a notebook, plus all my pens fit in the four slots on the front. The shoulder strap is adjustable and feels comfortable when I carry it around campus. Even though it is vintage, it is waterproof, so I do not worry about it getting ruined in the rain. It has a cool retro style that stands out from regular backpacks. If you need something sturdy and unique for school or work, this is a great choice.

Good quality for the priceThis is a good quality map case. The vinyl is tough, and you can put a lot of stuff in it. I mainly use it to as a place to keep a pen and notepad in my car if I need to write something down immediately or if I need to keep a document dry. It does have four pen slots, but mine are sewn shut. I don't know if you're supposed to cut the top stitching in order to make the slots usable, but as I wasn't sure, I didn't want to risk it. Mine came scratched up, but with a date code of 1979 or 1980 (the stamping on mine was a bit sloppy), I figure it got a lot of use, and for this price I certainly can't complain.
Great for keeping important papers dry and having a place to keep a pen and a notepad should you need one.
The pen slots were sewn shut, and since I'm not sure if the top stitching is supposed to be cut, they're unusable.
