i have an easy flap but i don't actually have it right now b/c it's on consignment. just my two cents: it softens very quickly b/c of the fabric interior and it got out of shape fairly fast with use. i *thought* i'd love the zipper, but found that the zipper + the turnlock was actually quite more effort to get into the bag. the item was consigned for almost 1K LESS than what i paid after trying to sell it privately for almost a year. they devalue fast and mine was in excellent condition, so ... bummer. but now i see the folly and (personally) wouldn't get a non-classic flap again. mine is still on consignment and has been for 4 months, so 4 months and a year and it hasn't sold. i asked some places for a buyout and yeah... you'll lose a ton, sadly
