Before I ordered this bag, I read reviews from Both Amazon.com and amazon.co.uk Here is what I think about the bag and partial answers to or agreement with some previous reviews. The color is not tan, it is light brown. The bag Actually looks quite small, but you can fir lots of things in it. It has a large main compartment, Which Basically Runs Through The Whole bag. I think it is good to know the inner dimensions. Here is the size of this main compartment: 23cm x 29cm x 4.5cm. These are relaxed sizes, I am sure you can stretch the bag and gain a cm or that. When the cover flap is closed, it leaves more 2 cm on top so you can fit something Easily 31 cm long. On the backside of this compartment, there are two pockets, Which extends almost half way down; one with zipper and one without. They are just flat pockets so I will give two dimensions only: 15cm x 12cm. Between the back wall of this main compartment and the cover flap There is a deep pocket (21cm x 28cm), where I can put my iPad in its Smart Cover easily. There is another pocket helped here as well (15cm x 12cm) with no zipper. On the front wall (Actually this is outside of the bag, but it is so covered When the flap is closed) there is one pocket with zipper (19cm x 24cm). In front of that, there is a pocket without zipper (23cm x 20cm). These load pockets Can Be Easily seen in the pictures. Then there are two pockets where I put my cell phone, keys, wallet, etc. The big one is 10cm x 11.5cm x 2cm and the small one is 7cm x 11.5cm x 2cm. On the very back of the bag, there is another pocket with zipper, Which stays outside Even When the flap is closed (19cm x 23cm). The strap is quite long (~ 135 cm the longest), and it feels strong with some polyester backing. It is a classy looking bag. It's been only a week now and I am very happy with it.
