That looks so much like a bulletproof vest that in some areas I’d be afraid to wear it in public!
(Incidentally, my dad wears a blackberry in a belt holster on his hip. He was asked once in a deli if he was “packing heat”. So combine this backback with a phone holster and you could have an, uh, interesting experience depending on who you spend time with).
I have one like this and it is awesome! i love the ‘thin’ look and the material.
indeed as Carly said, the running joke at my work is that i have a bullet proof vest! π
It would protect you from arrows and some knives if a riot got out (that’s with like the new MacBook).
