    I just got this backpack, and honestly, the design is pretty sweet. I love how it looks and all the pockets it has; everything seems really well thought out. However, the zipper situation is a real letdown, unfortunately. It already feels a bit flimsy, and I'm worried it won't last very long with regular use. I'm hoping I'm wrong, but it's a definite weak point. The rest of the bag feels sturdy, so it's a shame the zipper lets it down. I'll update my review if it holds up better than I expect!
