You have no idea how that drives me buggy. Looks nice, but if you get it it turns out to be half the size as expected. Or twice the size if you prefer it smaller (eg, for a phone, not a pie-plate).
Hang on…
Here’s the bag:
Roughly 12×9×2… which is not right. 12×9 sounds right, but it can stretch to at least 5” or so in depth.
The top part of it, that runs along the top strap, actually has a pass-through into the main compartment, so you could stick a small tennis-racquet into it. Or maybe stick an mp3 player in it and run the earmuffs wire through there. Damned clever design, and pretty rugged.
I ordered one from this place, then two more. Black to match pretty much anything, OD for a nice dark-green jacket I got. Might get another in khaki to go with my duster, who knows. I’m thoroughly pleased with ’em.
They might come with a bit of a musty stank to ’em, though. Mine didn’t, but I still tossed ’em in the washing-machine anyway. Came out perfect, no fraying, no wrinkling along the seams, nothing.
I got these from GB æons ago, which are quite nice, too.

Can stick a phone in the front pouch, other stuff inside, pen in the sleeve for it, etc. Limited volume, though, else I’d keep carrying that. That also has MOLLE straps which I could use to attach this to the sling-bag. Right now, I keep my goodies in there, and keep that in my parachute.
I’m itching to see how the phone-things are. Haven’t taken the bus to/from work in ages, but when I do (forced downtime, get to read, do puzzles, etc.), I’d rather get a metrocard from an easily-accessible pocket vs grubbling through a huge bag, or my regular wallet, etc. Same thing with a phone, pen (to do said puzzles ), etc.
