The extra top expandable pocket easily holds an inch thick book or several folders etc.

It wasn't as useful since the zipper didn't work, but he liked having all the pockets and such.

LOVE the pocket on the front, I've seen my son shove a bunch of stuff in there!

This was big enough with the right slots and pockets.

The expandable pocket in front does not work as well as I had hoped in securing the books and notebooks she puts in there, besides that we both love it!

My daughter loves the outer pocket for books, tablet, etc.

The front cover has a four strap open pocket great for carrying books that he can quickly pull out without needing to unzip

She also has a pocket for her TI84 calculator as well as a zipper pocket for pens, pencils, erasers, etc

The zipper and velcro pocket inside are also perfect.

The outer extendable "pocket" has also ripped along the right side therefore it will no longer hold items safely
