Request rather than review
By lps, New York, April 20, 2012
I second the requests others have made, including pocket for iPhone and bottle-pockets on the ends. Ideal configuration would be: bottle pockets, both ends; slip pocket across full width of the BACK, with phone pocket inside the *back* pocket. Phone pocket should be large enough for the monster-size phones out there. With iPhones (in particular) being 'Apple picked" out of users' hands, an exterior phone pocket, especially on the end of the bag that would be furthest behind me, is a non-starter. As a pocket-inside a pocket in the back, it would be 1) well-hidden yet 2) accessible on the fly. Pretty-please??

This is my second Chica bag. I gave the first one to my husband (along with my old iPad) when I got my new iPad. I love this bag. It's roomy but not bulky. Even with my iPad and accessories it's not heavy. Fits easily over the shoulder or as a cross body bag. The inside sections are big enough to hold my essentials but not too big where things get lost. And I love that the iPad slides right into the back inside pocket, even with a cover, as if the bag were made for it. I would not hesitate to buy another bag if I needed to. My husband loves his too!

This bag looks to be well made and would probably be great for a day of touring, but it is way too utilitarian looking to be my every day purse.
By Tim , Miami Beach, March 20, 2012
I work as a bartender. This bag is excellent for caring what I need, to and from work. The build quality is far above any bag I have owned in the past. Thank you Red Ox for such a good price / value product.
By Dee, CT, January 28, 2012
I received this product recently so I have not used it for traveling yet. I was split between the Gary Gator and Chica. I'm looking for something to handle my travel needs, not too bulky and smaller than the Gator. This fits the exact things I carry but I will not be able to drop a few extras in. Again I will see how it works when I travel.
By Jarrett Dorough, Connecticut, January 17, 2012
My wife was looking for a small carry bag to use as a purse for our honeymoon. I bought her a Chica and it quickly became indispensable. It went everywhere we did serving as a camera bag, doggy bag, to just about anything else we needed bag. A very versatile quality product!
Love the bag, hate the name
By Jay Lukowski, Atlanta, December 15, 2011
I used to carry a big briefcase but when I started using my iPad I needed a small bag. The Chica is perfect; my iPad fits well and there is room for the few things I need to schlep around. I would definately recommend. But, I think you should ditch the feminine name. What about neutering the name and morphing it into Chico/a.
By Anne C., Pittsburgh, PA, October 27, 2011
I was disappointed in how this looks and returned it. I'm a big fan of Red Oxx (love the Air Boss!!), and I think the Chica is extremely well made. But it just won't work as my daily purse -- it looks too much like a camera bag.
By Tammy, Georgia, October 13, 2011
I bought this bag a few months ago. For the most part I buy a bag and use it until it is DOA which usually is only a few months with me as I am hard on everything. So far no issues with this bag. No tears, rips, fraying, etc...Might just be the last bag I ever have to buy! I love it...and I really LOVE that it is made in the USA and has a lifetime warranty.
By Tom, Jackson, WY , July 31, 2011
Perfect size for a seat bag when traveling. I keep iPad,Kindle, headsets and various pocket stuff in it. It goes in my SunChaser until I'm ready to board. Then SunChaser goes up and Chica stays for the flight.
Also useful as an everyday grab bag when you're going to have deadtime along the way.
Water bottle holder rather than phone holder would be nice for the way I use it. It's worth the "purse" look in return for the functionality. Quality as always from Red Oxx
By Brian DeShazer, Indianapolis, IN, June 24, 2011
I was looking for a bag to fit my ipad, my bose headphones, tissues, medicine, and other stuff I need during airplane flight. This bag fits it PERFECTLY.
I'm 6'5", so don't fit in airplane seats well, in fact I always take the magazines/catalogs out of the seat back pocket prior to flight and toss them in overhead, just to gain another 1/2" for my knees. I was looking for a small bag to carry my inflight stuff that I could hang from the top of the seat or the tray table hook.
I hang this bag from the seat top, the strap sits in the groove and stays there. I then flip the cover back on the bag and use my ipad cover slid into the pocket so I have my very own seat back entertainment. Plus all my other stuff I need during the flight is right there, and my knees have all the space, tiny as it is, that the airlines give me.
I only have 2 suggestions for improvements. First, the handle should end with snap hooks and have rings on the pouch just like on my air boss and my metro. Smaller hardware, but like that. Secondly, it would be nice if one side had a bottle holder instead of the cell phone holder.

I recently used this bag for 2 weeks while traveling through Italy. The size was perfect for every day touring, although if you want to carry extra jackets or clothing, a backpack is recommended. It is sturdy and held my camera, camcorder, wallet, travel book and other miscellaneous items easily. The only negative I can think of is the inside zipper pocket is at the back of the bag, so it was awkward to get to without taking the bag off. With that being said, I just ordered one as a gift and would highly recommend it as an everyday touring bag that is strong and roomy.

I love almost everything about the Chica. The size is great, plenty of pockets, fits my kindle perfectly. My only concern is the dark interior. The flap is bright red which I love but the actual inside is black. Had I know this I would probably not have purchased as I found dark interiors to be a black hole.
By Larry Rice, Jamaica, NY, March 28, 2011
I was a little hesitant, I admit. "Chica" is clearly feminine, and the somewhat trapezoidal shape of the bag doesn't help. Still, I needed a bag for my iPad, camera, and travel essentials on a recent trip to Turkey and Greece.
Like all the Red Oxx bags I've tried, it functions flawlessly, and is built to last forever.
To butch it up a little I attached a Starfleet communicator pin to the front flap. I suppose you could also use a skull patch or Harley-Davidson logo patch.
If anyone asks, I tell them, "It's a messenger bag, and the message is, 'this is not a purse.'"
By wandering miner, Andalucia, December 30, 2010
Could use a cushioned "U" slot running length of bottom of bag to anchor compact notebook, not much, but as-is have to take care setting bag down with computer.
Otherwise great for stripped-down travel-
By Deborah, Bozeman, December 16, 2010
This is the perfect bag for what I wanted. It carries my iPad safely and has just enough room for the other things I need in a day. I love the color combination (bright blue with a red interior) and the construction.
Great Compact Messenger Bag
By Howard Gray, Bozeman, November 2, 2010
I picked up this handy compact messenger bag as my "tour" bag at an outdoor Arts festival held in the desert.
Despite it's size, it held an umbrella, my water bottle, disposable camera, sunglasses, bandanna and assorted nick nacks with ease.
The padding keeps stuff in the bag from digging into your hip. And I love those monster zippers and the monkey fists. Grab, yank, zipper open, zipper shut, no arguments.
I don't know about it carrying an Ipad or Apad tablet but I can tell you it served its duty as a small messenger bag perfectly. When I got back I cleaned off the dust per Red Oxx Bag Cleaning Instructions and it ended up looking just like new. Love my Red Oxx bags!
By Steve, Kharkiv, Ukraine, September 14, 2010
In Europe, men carry bags. But this one is infinitely more useful than the typical small leather case most men are using. I can carry my iPad without another case safely, plus notes, books, and any other small items I need for the day. My only complaint is that it isn't quite wide enough for the A4 sized paper that is standard in this part of the world. Another half-inch of width would make a world of difference...
By susan, Michigan, July 16, 2010
I bought this bag to use for a trip for my newly purchased iPad. The iPad was delivered the day after I received the bag and I was leaving 2 days later, so I really needed something to carry.
The bag is roomy, but not big. It held my charging cord, sunglasses, keys and other misc items, along with my iPad. I wore it as a cross body bag and it was very comfy.
I have the Apple cover on the iPad and it slides right into the padded pocket perfectly.
I only gave it 4 stars because of the color. I ordered khaki but the bag is closer to the olive color. I emailed customer service immediately and was offered a replacement but because of the time constraints I was kinda stuck. Oh well!
All in all, I am happy with my purchase. In time, the color will grown on me. :)
Perfect for iPad! Not great for iPhone.
By Cyndi , SF Bay Area, May 4, 2010
I bought this bag as a purse/daypack replacement for an upcoming trip, and was pleasantly surprised that it had a padded compartment that fit my iPad perfectly! It is a very functional bag, and will fit my iPad, wallet, small camera, two pairs of sunglasses (mine + husband's), with plenty of room for more.
One thing that the bag does not have that I would like is a small pocket inside that I can slide my iPhone into. All of the zipper and open pockets in the bag are pretty big (the entire width of the bag), and my phone gets lost in the pockets. I don't want my phone hanging off the outside of the bag either.
It would also be nice if it was a bit prettier. The bag is very functional but kind of boring looking. I would use it every day if it were more attractive, but as it is, I'll likely only use the bag for travel.
