Thanks for the great review. So here’s to you Mrs. Robinson!

I really dig this bag. Its very stylish yet functional. My only question is does it only support iPods or can another media player work with the bag.

I’d be interested in picking this bag up if it would work with the Zune and the price came down sub-$100.

Blake, is there anything to manage the headphone cables? Even a place to tuck away the headphones when you’re not using them?

Unfortunately, the bag only comes in the color shown and black.

As for the iPod questions, the buttons work well, but sometimes need to be mashed sort of hard. There is an iPod slot inside the bag where you hook the iPod up to a control wire and a sound wire. The speaker is concealed within the front zipper panel of the bag, so you can’t actually see the speakers. I’m not sure how many speakers are in there, but the sound is OK. Nothing stellar, but listenable.

Hope that helps.

Now after that glowing review by Mrs. Robinson, how can you not give it all 10s? Except for price, 130 is ridiculous…

A couple Q’s about the bag itself though.

1) How well do those buttons work? How does the iPod connect to the bag?
2) How is the speaker quality? It is it a single speaker? Where is the speaker placed?
