I like it, but as I said elsewhere, I'm viewing it as a feminine briefcase (not a purse.) It's HUGE and heavy, however, I LOVE that it can hold everything I need (including computer and lunch) so that I don't have to lug two bags. When I carry my IB midi to work, I have to carry another small bag to hold my thermos, fruit etc., so I really love that I can carry it all in my full-size IB.
I would NEVER carry it elsewhere (other than work) however, as it's too big, too heavy, AND too serious-looking (for me) in the root pebbled.
My IB midis, though, I can carry both to work and for fun, so they're GREAT that way and I love them, especially in the crash leathers (as in the navy glossy); they're much more glam!
