Question for anyone that has the behind seat bag

I've been thinking about buying this bag but wonder if it is usable and worth the money. If any of you that have it would comment on this I would appreciate it.

The bag is gorgeous and very useful. I unfortunately had to give it back because I keep my seat too far back and it hit and crushed the bag.

That would be my only comment.

I've replied on the SL55 board; useful, but it marks the leather because it has hard plastic feet which puts me off using it.

Useful for maximizing capacity

It's kind of an odd shape, and I feel a little strange carrying this awkward-looking thing through posh hotel lobbies, but it's a good way to get the most out of the space behind the seats. I'm 6'2" and I don't put the seat back so far that it contacts the bag.

That bag will be very usefull. Wife and I take a lot of weekend trips, and she puts her makup bag, cooler, and food in the SL bag.

Just put towels/rags under the pastic feet.

I've had the bag for over three years now, and use it on most trips out of town. It fits neatly in place; however it car top is down, anyone can "take' it out of the car.

My only negative concern is: the bag is so large, and if stuffed fully, it can become very heavy to carry.

Positive Note-- I use it frequently to stow things even on short trips---to get "loose" material tethered, and out of the way in cabin; yet is very easily accessable if you need to remove something for immediate use at any time w/o going to the trunk proper.

Thumbs up Picture?

Can someone provide a pic or a link so that we can see what it looks like? Sounds very useful. Thanks
