I picked mine up on release day. I've carried it several times and love it. I know the guitar strap isn't for everyone, but the fact that you can change straps is exactly what I wanted. I have been wearing mine crossbody, more on the hip which is where I will always wear it. I don't think it holds as much as the original style given it's flat, more stretched design. I supposed I could try to overstuff, but for me, I cut down to a wallet, keys, lipstick, two smallest kiragamis, and my phone which is all I need. For what it's worth, I have been stopped and told how much people love my bag.
