Great bag

Love the organization, love the fit and the styling and quality

Great bag even for the Surface Book!

The build quality is great and I am a big fan of the inside material, it makes it easy to see in the bag. The leather and canvas is great and give it that Indiana Jones look a little. Glad I bought it! That being said here are some of my "cons" (they were not that big of a deal): 1. The buckles and zipper ends were made of plastic (looks to be very very tough and I really don't mind it at all but it is still plastic on a $200 plus bag) 2. Little tight of a fit for the Surface Pro but it works even with a tiny USB mouse adapter on the side (This is expected since this bag is designed for the iPad Pro specifically but if you are looking at this for a Surface Book then this may be good info)

I love it.

I love my Staad Attaché. It’s rugged, beautifully made, lightweight, and just gorgeous to look at. It’s top quality. A pleasure to use. I was not expecting, but am delighted by, the daily compliments this attaché receives. I couldn’t be happier with my purchase.

I Love It!

For years I carried a traditional, very well made, leather briefcase. It weighed a ton empty and gave no interior protection for electronics. I bought an iPad Pro and needed something better to carry it (with the Apple Smart Keyboard). I found the Staad Attache on line and went for it. It is everything I wanted: smaller, MUCH lighter, beautifully constructed and designed from the ground up to hold and protect my new iPad Pro. There is enough room for additional "stuff." I love how it looks. I'm over 60 but this has a young look/feel to it that just makes me happy. Only observation is that I will probably never use the special pocket for the iPhone inside the front zipper. I'll just have to find something else to use that space for. Mark (East Lansing, Michigan)

For Shorter trips

I have been use the Staad backpack large who go on longer trips. The new Staad Attaché can carry a MacBook and an iPad Pro. It goes over the Roller handle on my luggage. Same great design and materials. I love it.

Design details

EACH BAG IS PERSONALIZED FOR YOU, NATURALLY

The premium full grain leather, the best and most expensive part of the cowhide, gets better looking with each use.

"Looks, brains, and brawn. Beautiful (even better looking than in the pictures), and built like a tank. (I've yet to wear out a WaterField bag in 10 years—I just pass them on)." - Mark T.

HOW TO FRESHEN UP YOUR CANVAS

Keep your bag looking new by applying wax when you think it needs a little refresh. Although any wax is applicable, you can use Martexin Original Wax which was initially used to coat your canvas bag.

CARING FOR YOUR LEATHER AND WAXED CANVAS

If you have the waxed canvas and chocolate leather version of the Staad Attaché, Gary shows how you can maintain these materials so they’ll look great over time. We use full grain Roughman Leather for your bag which has oils that respond well to heat.

Although this video is for the AirPods Max Shield Case, the maintenance also applies to your bag.
