While it isn't quite as roomy as the crossbody above, this slim, wallet-sized bag is perfect for any traveler who prefers to keep it simple and just carry the essentials.

The spacious main compartment is deep enough to carry a tablet, e-reader, and multiple notebooks. The two front, zippered pockets contain six card slots, a smartphone-sized pocket, and a key fob. There's even a zippered pocket on the back for anything you want to be able to grab quickly or keep close to your body.
