Don't dis the bag, folks, it looks pretty nice -- I just got mine right now. I wouldn't really call it a briefcase (aren't they supposed have a hard shell?), but it would make a very nice bag for a teacher or student. I will even consider it as a decent airplane-carry-on / tourist bag, as it has a solid shoulder strap. So I conclude that it is in fact a hot deal! 🙂
Edit: grammar
