Pros
Nice concept, reasonably durable but lightweight, probably will wear very well.
Cons
Odd geometry, not visible in catalog. The spring clip at the top will hold about 1/8 inch of paper, but the top lid will hold a half inch of paper so it is an odd duck in actual use. Visualize carrying a laptop that always has its lid open at least 3/8 inch. I fixed it by some creative metal bending so it has a slimmer profile, otherwise I would have returned it.

The upper compartment is a little too deep and this causes it to bend when carried using a normal amount of pressure on it

Good construction and a good price

The size is a little to much. I have problems getting it into my flight bag. If you can reduced the size by two inches in its widest part it will be great!

Interior storage is handy. Nice large surface for writing on.
Cons
It is large but not to the point of being useless.
General Comments
I have found this item to be helpful for organization of flight materials. It's large size obviously has its advantages and disadvantages but I have been pleased with it overall. I am a little over 6' so my seat is a set back as far as it will go which gives me room to use something this big. If I had to move my seat forward much I might find it hard to use this item.

No strap to keep it on my lap. How about two plastic loops on the bottom that I could fasten to my belt loops on my pants so the lap board doesn't slide of my lap accidentally.

Very well designed. I love it.

When I first opened the box I was eager to try everything out and get used to using the lap desk fluently. However, I had a bit of trouble when it came to the clipboard clamp. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get it to open. A screwdriver did the trick, though - turned out it was just jammed a bit. A quick pry solved the problem. Now it works like a dream!

Big but not much fits in it ... you have to use rubber bands to keep it closed. I went back to a lap board. I am 6.5 and way too big to use this product in a small plane.

Too big for the cockpit. The decal on the top was not flat- it was ripped. The entire thing felt flimsy.
