That's great to hear. My Flo hobo is usually the same, but this leather is so smooth and pretty I just wasn't sure how it would handle. My only hesitation is the opening doesnt accommodate my kindle fire, it's 10 inches. But that might not be a deal breaker. I haven't had much time today, but tomorrow I will put my things in and carry her around the house. The navy is divine.I have a few bags in the smooth leather and have not had scratches on them. I think any scratches that appear can be buffed out pretty easily using your finger to rub it out.
