Oh yeah, did you ever fix the squeak? I said in your thread I dont like carryalls, but when I saw this, i actually liked it! I just don't know about not having the zip, and since the small straps won't fit over my shoulder I'd have to use the longer strap (I like shoulder bags so I wouldn't carry it in my forearm) - I remember thinking the short straps were in the way when I had the long strap on my shoulder. I'm trying not to buy anymore so I want to avoid getting a bag I won't use just because it's pretty (and it is super pretty so if this style works for you, great color choice!)
I haven't had any trouble w/ things falling out of the bag. I usually try to keep the snaps together, but they aren't always snapped. It sits next to me in the car and hasn't fallen at all, maybe because of the design and weight? For reference, I am 5'2" and about 125 lbs. Sometimes it's a little hard to get over my shoulder, but nothing that bothers me. I wasn't sure if I'd like the compartments but I really do. I came from a gallery tote that was just one big opening (and I hated the jacket zipper!).
