Great design, poor designed release clip

I bought this bag as my everyday bag to carry my phone and wallet when I don't have any pocket space.
Love the design and sleekness.
A mentioned in other reviews, I hate the design of the quick release clip. Even if I barely touch it, it releases and the bag falls to the ground. I hope the next version of this bag fixes this design flaw on a otherwise nicely designed bag
This is so close to 5 stars! I love the strap, the shape, the interior pocket, and the hidden exterior pocket! I just wish the zipper was a double zipper that could be opened from either end. I prefer to wear bags on my right shoulder, and that puts the zipper at the bottom of the bag, making it very easy for objects to fall out of opened quickly.
I brought this with extreme skepticism knowing what I have read about the sensitive buckle. I loaded mine with a Tenba byob 9 camera insert, Sony a7CR with 2 prime lenses. With these weights it requires a bit of pressure to release the plates, and the amount of travel the button needs to be push is just right. Maybe PD has improved on the buckle, or maybe there were some QC issues, I dunno. Just happy mine works great because for an EDC, it is a nice buckle.
What I do know is this buckle design may be prone to bag snatchers, so I use a OpTech uniloop to secure the buckle when travelling in places a little more problematic.
And the other thing I know, is this is the only PD sling I like! I went back to Domke after so many branded bags, and decided to give this a go because of the softer materials. Only thing missing is a softer, more malleable camera insert for this bag to truly realised its potential. (I have one smaller and lighter than the tenba OTW that fits my setup) The bag strap is also more comfortable than I remember, so I am happy with my purchase.
This is the best bag I’ve ever owned. It’s so comfortable on, its size capacity is amazing. I can’t believe how much time I wasted on cheaper bags just trying to save a buck. Will buy this again and again forever.
Got this for Father's Day and have been using it for a few months now. It's the perfect size for some daily essentials and helps keep my pockets mostly empty!
I purchased this bag along with other items during the Kickstarter campaign and could not be happier with its utility and hardiness. I just completed a 5 month journey, mostly overland from Turkey to China, and this bag rarely left my side. It was great for an everyday carry and I found that I preferred it over a small backpack for day hikes in the mountains. It holds, well, a lot. On a regular basis I carried a phone, my journal, a Kindle, my Sony RX100, a second small notebook, Bose headphones, and a small portable charger along with a number of small items such as lip balm, tissues, etc.. Additionally, the material held up very well and I love the bungie straps on the bottom where I routinely kept a rain coat, second layer, or a water bottle. For air journeys it is all I kept out of the overhead as it held everything I needed to keep me occupied during the flight.
I did not have any issues with the buckle throughout this time. The only thing I would like to see improved is to have the small pockets inside have some elastic at the top to help hold items in these spaces. Otherwise, looking forward to using again on my next adventure. Great bag and super useful.
Very happy with the bag! The optimal size is perfect for everyday use. It is made of quality materials, has a comfortable strap and a stylish appearance. It is easy to clean, which is especially convenient in everyday life. The only wish is for a little more organization inside: add at least one pocket with a lock. I also wish the magnet in the back for the phone was stronger.
I bought this bag about 1 month ago while visiting their Venice California location. Great color. Really thoughtful design and features. A great every day crossbody. Would buy again. Likely will buy the other colors as well to give me more styling options.
