Comments about Jill-E Designs Jack Large Rolling Camera Bag:
I has been using this bag for about 8 months now. It's well compartmentalize d, however I have found two critical issues with the bag that need to come to light. First off, the buckle on the outside flap is cheap. It is attached with what looks like a 2 tab clasp like u would find on a large manila envelope. Pulled right out the first time I had to squeeze the bag into an overhead compartment. So far in my travels, the only overhead it easily fits in to is a 767, anything else is an extremely tight squeeze even with nothing in the outer pockets. Forget even trying to get it in a commuter jet overhead, and its too thick to go under the seat in front of you. Even emptying the outer pockets did not help, pointless in my opinion. The number on thing we look for in a travel bag is functionality. Style should come further down the list.

I recently ordered this rolling bag after debating and shopping around for a few months. it's absolutely beautiful and functional! Being a pregnant, international photographer, this is one of the best purchases I've made. I use it for a carry on and also when I'm shooting on location.
What I love: The leather is high quality, soft and will wear very well. It's definitely worth the $$$. The space can accommodate all my gear and then some. Though I know some of the reviews complained about the handles, I personally like them. They are long enough for me to lay the bag down without having to bend so much. I've had no problem traveling with the bag on airlines and look forward to using it for many years to come. There's nothing I don't love about this bag.

I really love this extremely handsome bag. It's just slightly larger than regulation carry-on (depth), so if you're flying smaller commuter planes, you'll have to schmooze the flight staff into letting you store it in the staff compartment rather than have it checked in. For international flights, I haven't had any problems yet getting away with the extra size and weight.
On my first trip with it, I carried in it a 5DmkII, 30D, point-and-shoot, 70-200 f/2.8, 24-70, 16-35, and 50 f/1.4, extender, flash, an Epson P-2000 viewer, a 15" MacBook Pro, 1GB external hd, chargers, cables, filters, and other gadgets… and there was still room to tuck in food and other on-board needs.
The only minor wish is for some way to tuck the handles away nicely when not being actively rolled. With the telescope handle up, I fold the handles around it so they're not flapping about, but when the extender is down, there's no way to "minimize" them. Just a minor minor design issue.

A very classy looks, sufficient, protect your gear bag, deserve another star if they have a longer and stronger retractable puul-out handle and tuck away style of that leather handle when using as a rolling bag.
Overall, it's very decent looks of bag.

Comments about Jill-E Designs Jack Large Rolling Camera Bag:
Because I have been carrying around my gear in a backpack type camera bag, I now have issues with my shoulders. I knew I needed to get something that rolled and decided to get this bag which seemed the sturdiest and largest to accomodate additions to my current collection. It has lots of pockets, room for everything; rolls smoothly. I like the handles for quick pickup if necessary. I like the fact that it is water resistant and that I can carry my laptop with me too. However, the compartment for the laptop is on the bottom next to the handle, so if you lay the bag flat to access your camera gear, all the heavy equipment lays on top of the laptop. Also, I'd like to see a side pocket or something to accomodate a tripod so I could one more piece of equipment off my shoulder.
