Its zipper runs across the top and down one side, while heavy-duty YKK hardware includes an attached loop for easier opening. Optional shoulder-carry hardware requires adding metal D-rings to the WaterField iPad Travel Express before attaching a shoulder strap. The tested suspension strap uses a rubberized shoulder pad, spring-loaded clips, and adjustable woven material to help keep the bag positioned while worn.
Stretchy pockets sewn into the tablet section can hold smaller items, including a notebook similar in size to a small Moleskine. Thicker pockets along the rear wall hold accessories such as an iPad adapter and charging cable, while the bag also accommodates Apple’s wireless keyboard.
