This thing is big, holds a spiral bound notebook or a regular 8.5x11 pad, with enough pockets for ID badges, business cards, magazines, etc. There is one 'gadget pocket' for a cell phone or MP3 player or small camera; it closes with a velcro flap. One other pocket has a zipper; I use that one for secure ID tags and the like. The portfolio is big enough to replace my briefcase. but small enough to fit into a computer bag. It's very well made and the outer zipper makes it much more secure than a normal padfolio.
