My SIL is in the video game industry, so I lined his with Marvel comics fabric (not on the underside of the flap, just in insides). A nephew is a fishermen, so his has a thin vinyl lining (waterproof) and fishing fabric. They will always have their electronic devices and their phones, so this is a way to carry them, even if only in the car. Since the first one, my SIL has requested a larger one for taking to work. They can beW called messenger bags, satchels or just bags, but please don't call them man purses!
