If you travel to Work or School and carry electronics, would you say their physical safety (Due to water damage, damage from general force on your bag or damage to your phone as you take it out) is a real issue to you? (1-10, 1 being "Of little concern" and 10 being "Of great concern")
10

Are you at all worried about the potential to be stolen from your bag (In ways such as someone unzipping and removing your valuables when you are not looking)? (1-10, 1 being "Of little concern" and 10 being "Of great concern")
10

If you were to have locks on your zips, would you prefer locks which require a key (To be carried separately) or simply locks which are physically not simple to open (In a way that a thief would probably not bother trying) (You may answer Key or No Key)
Key (Or perhaps a key-coded lock?)

Do you use head/earphones when travelling with your bag? If yes, then what size are they? (For example, just earphones or full-sized around-the-ear types)
Yes, earphones

Do you often find them [Headphone cables] to be tangled when you take them from your pocket/back to use?
Every time.

Have you run into times where your phone has ran out of battery whilst out? Would a small emergency charger be of interest to you in this case? (1-10 on how useful this sounds) - It would work for phones, PSP's, DS's and other similar devices.
10

How about a laptop/netbook/tablet charger, which could provide roughly an hour of additional use (1-10)(Ignore if you do not carry any of these devices)

2 rarely go far enough away from a charging place for it to be useful, if I did I'd bring books instead of laptop.

10, I'm very careful with my things in general, but not so much with my bag, thus, when I have them in the bag, they're the most vulnerable. D:
Are you at all worried about the potential to be stolen from your bag (In ways such as someone unzipping and removing your valuables when you are not looking)? (1-10, 1 being "Of little concern" and 10 being "Of great concern")
7, even though I usually always keep check of my stuff, there's always the possibility, and I'd be severely pissed if someone stole my stuff. Obviously.
If you were to have locks on your zips, would you prefer locks which require a key (To be carried separately) or simply locks which are physically not simple to open (In a way that a thief would probably not bother trying) (You may answer Key or No Key)
Key, that way I can be sure.
Do you use head/earphones when travelling with your bag? If yes, then what size are they? (For example, just earphones or full-sized around-the-ear types)
Yes, sometimes small ones and sometimes really large ones (think, Razer/Steel Series headsets).
Do you often find them [Headphone cables] to be tangled when you take them from your pocket/back to use?
Most of the time, yes. To my great annoyance. D:

10!!! I love travelling and it's annoying when the battery dies and I can't recharge it, 'cause then I can't listen to music.

10. I do not currently own any of those, but I would still like the charger. After all, I might just buy a laptop soon. ^^

Also, I don't give a damn about the game (still, I'd be happy to get it if I win. ^^), I just want that backpack! xD

Does it come in black..? :3

-7 I carry my laptop in my bag and it is fairly vital that it is waterproof and well secured/padded

Are you at all worried about the potential to be stolen from your bag (In ways such as someone unzipping and removing your valuables when you are not looking)? (1-10, 1 being "Of little concern" and 10 being "Of great concern")

-8 I've actually had some assclown try that before, but caught him in the act.

If you were to have locks on your zips, would you prefer locks which require a key (To be carried separately) or simply locks which are physically not simple to open (In a way that a thief would probably not bother trying) (You may answer Key or No Key)

-No Key -A keyless lock would be ideal. I am useless with keys and losing them :p

Do you use head/earphones when travelling with your bag? If yes, then what size are they? (For example, just earphones or full-sized around-the-ear types)

-Yes, mostly earbuds, though I'd much rather keep my ipod in my pocket, unless the compartment was strap-mounted or something..

Do you often find them [Headphone cables] to be tangled when you take them from your pocket/back to use?

-Always :p

Have you run into times where your phone has ran out of battery whilst out? Would a small emergency charger be of interest to you in this case? (1-10 on how useful this sounds) - It would work for phones, PSP's, DS's and other similar devices.

6 - That would be pretty neat, though not something useful enough to me to pay extra for

How about a laptop/netbook/tablet charger, which could provide roughly an hour of additional use (1-10)(Ignore if you do not carry any of these devices)

3 - An hour doesn't really seem that huge a benefit, and the added weight and cost isn't really worth it

Glad to help ^_^ I do love me a good survey

I think someone will have probably said this already but IMO Messebger Bag > Backpack.

I just find them to be a lot more accessible when carrying the sort of things you're describing. I tend to use I an actual backpack when I'm carrying larder quantities of less valuable/breakable objects.

Yes, in-ear monitors with silicon cable guides, like this http://img820.imageshack.us/img820/2052/36783085.jpg

Do you often find them [Headphone cables] to be tangled when you take them from your pocket/back to use?
Very rarely, because I coil them over/under and keep them in the little pouch they came with.

2. I don't think it needs to be considered in a bag design. Better off carrying a spare battery

How about a laptop/netbook/tablet charger, which could provide roughly an hour of additional use (1-10)(Ignore if you do not carry any of these devices)
2. Same here. Just bring a battery or the proper charger I guess.

* 7 because you want them to be extremely safe in case of worst case scenarios. but i cant go much higher than that because then the bag will become too bulky with padding


Are you at all worried about the potential to be stolen from your bag (In ways such as someone unzipping and removing your valuables when you are not looking)? (1-10, 1 being "Of little concern" and 10 being "Of great concern")


* 8 this one is a bit tricky i have had things stolen out of my bag before but that was becuase of my own stupidity i would say a zipper with a second a latch like a belt buckle in a car is the safest bet because it takes longer to get through


If you were to have locks on your zips, would you prefer locks which require a key (To be carried separately) or simply locks which are physically not simple to open (In a way that a thief would probably not bother trying) (You may answer Key or No Key)


* 8 basically i answered this in the question above without realizing it but no key on the lock cause if you lose your key you are in trouble. but you must have a second lock sort of like the one i described above.


Do you use head/earphones when travelling with your bag? If yes, then what size are they? (For example, just earphones or full-sized around-the-ear types)


* ear buds are the best kind of headphone/earphone because they dont get in the way of other objects on your head like hats



Do you often find them [Headphone cables] to be tangled when you take them from your pocket/back to use?


*depends on if you fold them carefully before putting them away. yes if you dont but not really if you do fold them. tightness of space and stuff in your pocket or backpack tend to affect this. my suggestion is to have a small compartment to store earbuds in if you have one.


Have you run into times where your phone has ran out of battery whilst out? Would a small emergency charger be of interest to you in this case? (1-10 on how useful this sounds) - It would work for phones, PSP's, DS's and other similar devices.


* 10. yes. this. a thousand times this. i can not tell you how many times this happens and a small emergency charger would be perfect for this in the case of an event where i run out of abttery. which is every single time.


How about a laptop/netbook/tablet charger, which could provide roughly an hour of additional use (1-10)(Ignore if you do not carry any of these devices)


* 9. laptops and other portable computers are bigger and bulkier and take a lot of battery power. one extra hour might not be a lot but it would certainly help in a pinch especially if you only need a very short amount of extra time.






Heres to hoping this helped you out. I'm trying to help out and giving you the opinion of someone who has had all these things experienced and wished i could have improved on them. thank you for listening to my opinion and again i hoped this helped.

Do you often find them [Headphone cables] to be tangled when you take them from your pocket/back to use?
* 8
Have you run into times where your phone has ran out of battery whilst out? Would a small emergency charger be of interest to you in this case? (1-10 on how useful this sounds) - It would work for phones, PSP's, DS's and other similar devices.
* 9 (If it worked for iPods, I'd put it at 10)
How about a laptop/netbook/tablet charger, which could provide roughly an hour of additional use (1-10)(Ignore if you do not carry any of these devices)
* 4 (I don't carry my tablet with me much)

I'm providing feedback without any real interest in Terraria. I've played it, and it's not really my cup of tea. ^_^

If you travel to Work or School and carry electronics, would you say their physical safety (Due to water damage, damage from general force on your bag or damage to your phone as you take it out) is a real issue to you? (1-10, 1 being "Of little concern" and 10 being "Of great concern")

9 actually. I walk to college quite a bit and get rained on quite frequently.

Are you at all worried about the potential to be stolen from your bag (In ways such as someone unzipping and removing your valuables when you are not looking)? (1-10, 1 being "Of little concern" and 10 being "Of great concern")

3, Not too concerned as it is almost always next to me. I would image some simple locking mechanism may become an obstacle to quietly and quickly getting something from the bag.

If you were to have locks on your zips, would you prefer locks which require a key (To be carried separately) or simply locks which are physically not simple to open (In a way that a thief would probably not bother trying) (You may answer Key or No Key)

No Key. Maybe those little rotating number locks though, as I could keep that unlocked when I need to, and lock it when I can.

Yes, just headphones.

Quite often, but I got around this (mostly) by putting the thing inside a hat and rolling it up.

I haven't at all, but I suppose I could see value in such devices.

Subsequently ignored.

Hope all this helps!
