I've only had the bag for a week or so, but I'm really enjoying it so far. A couple outings at coffee shops have proven its usefulness in charging my phone while I work at a table without a wall outlet. It's great to top off my phone before going out to do my next thing.
Storage and pockets galore too! There's so many spots to put things. A couple of the pickets are small, so they're good for flash drives, etc. The laptop storage area works great for me too.
Would love to see a future version/option that has 2 mini/microUSB pockets instead of one for Apple products which I don't personally own. I purchased an Apple 30pin->microUSB adapter so I can use both pockets for charging devices.
Keep it up!-doclloyd

Great bag! Not only does it keep us charged, everything fits nicely, with pockets to spare. Good padding and outstanding workmanship.

Absolutely incredible!
To start, the bag is stylish and has enough capacity without making to too large. I like the design, not overpowering with too many colors and such. The ability to charge the battery without removing it from the bag is pretty slick.
The battery pack is amazing. Now I can do what I want without having to worry about my smartphone's battery dying at the most inopportune moment. It charges my Dell Streak quickly (I have to use it's own USB cable as it doesn't use a standard connector).
Great job!-MikeMcBurney

Questions on Instant Messenger
- From Bob at 12/1/11 2:06 PM
- How do I charge the bag?
- Before Powerbag can be charged, be sure to remove the label covering the battery contacts. Slide the battery into the cartridge, then plug the included adapter into Powerbag’s charging port. LED lights will begin flashing when Powerbag is charging.
It is also possible to charge the battery away from Powerbag. Remove the battery from the cartridge and connect the adapter directly to the charging port on the bottom of the battery.
