Is anyone aware of a similar product to the one BBB described above? Would dearly love to add some organizing features to the inside for PDA, ipod, assorted cables, batteries, etc. Bought one of the plumber’s bags based on this review and it’s a wonderful bargain.

Although I really like the rustic style of these bags, I ended up putting the ones I reviewed on eBay because they were just too heavy / bulky for me. Kolkron:

I use it daily, and it is still in amazing shape. To overcome the lack of a divider inslde, I bought a kind of organizer panel from Eagle Creek. It was a stiff divider covered with nylon, with a slash pocket in the back, and loads of pockets and pouches on the front for pens, phone, PDA, etc. It makes (made) a perfect divider. Unfortunately, I just checked the Eagle Creek web site for the name of the product, and couldn't find it--I hope it hasn't been discontinued, because it is ideal for a European schoolbag like the Bohemian. I did still find Eagle Creek's padded computer inserts, which I also use in the bag. this sort of modular approach, where one can remore the inside dividers if there is a big load to carry, has its advantages. --Bruce Julie:
