Thanks Stephen for the Video. I ended up going back to the 13” IPAD but use the Mini for content consumption. Are you still using the Waterfield? I really liked the bag but it wont hold the 13” with a couple of other notebooks and I am hesitant to order the 15 thinking that it might be too big.
@@beardfm I just got mine yesterday and love it. I returned my magic keyboard and apple folio case. This does both without switching case, provides protection, and cheaper. Only two issue is fingerprint magnet and the thunderbolt cut out size.
Hi Stephen, Thanks for the video. As always, you cost some money with your excellent recommendations. Question: I just purchased the 13" iPad Pro and am facing the problem that most magnetic stands, like the CharJen stand, are encountering with the magnet placement on the new iPad. Do you have any recommendations for iPad stands?
You're welcome! And there are not many options yet with updated magnets, but this seems to be the first and a few viewers are getting one: kuxiu.co/products/kuxiu-x33-pro-max-stand
On the Waterfield bag, are the magnet strong enough to keep the bag close when it is picked up by the handle or when the bag happens to fall horizontally?
I like your video! It’s very helpful. But do you have any recommendations of usb-c adapter to 3.5mm headphones jack for iPad Pro 12.9? I mean just a simple adapter not like 2 in 1 or multi function
Hey Stephen I enjoyed the video and subscribed to your channel. 2 quick questions- do u miss the size of the 13” for Productivity? - also the SF bag - that looked like the “compact size” does it fit an letter size notebook? Thanks will catch up on some of your videos. Thanks
Appreciate that! I don’t miss the 13”, but I also have a 14” MacBook Pro I can use when needed. If this will act as mobile computer too, maybe go 13”. And yes, I have the compact size and the larger pocket (non iPad) should fit a letter size notebook without issue.
Hey Stephen - I tried the 13” IPAD and low and behold - returned and now happily using the 11” - It just seems to fit “better” - also actually starting trying an e-ink device (can’t beat the feel of writing_ - I think I am going to order the bag featured. Are you still using it? Still like it? - Not completely sure on the E-Ink but we will see. THANK You - Keep Up the great Videos - I catch them 😊
@@beardfm thanks for answering. Do you think the compact would fit a regular letter size folder as well? I need to carry that and an iPad pro 11" for work. I contacted Waterfield, but they weren't able to tell me. Thanks in advance!
For a long time, as Chanel prices have risen, I no longer thought I could afford it. I think I would be happy to have a luxrul as a travel bag that I don't have to take care of. By the way, I'm sure no one would have a hard time telling the difference. Thanks for the comparison.
Regarding those magnetic "magsafe" USB-C charging dongles - convenient as they are, they are also generally unsafe and may harm the device you're charging. I'd advise staying away from those.
Because of the magnets? Given the amount of magnets in the cases, folios, MagSafe batteries and other charges I all put int he same bag, these don't have a negative effect at all.
@@beardfm It's not about the magnets - it's about how such cables are inherently non-complaint with the USB-C spec because the spec itself does not lay out any standards for magnetic charging, as well as how such cables may potentially expose high voltage on the conductors There is a sticky post on r/usbchardware on why such cables could be potentially dangerous. In particular I'd highlight the comments made by u/laughingman11.
I also have the M4 iPad 11” and got the Statik 360 Pro magnetic USBC cables and these work great I bought one 3’ cord and five 6’ cords. These work with most any device.
Hey Stephen, new sub here. Thanks to you I just made a pretty good order from Waterfield, first time I’ve seen the brand. Liked your videos and actually looking into opening a TH-cam channel (none tech related lol). Would be great some guidance from you!
Can you make a video addressing the issue that users have been having with Apple products these days The problem about having photos/videos that have been removed for months or years suddenly reappearing
That’s an iOS 17.5 bug which seems pretty bad. I don’t have much other information on that and I imagine a small update to remedy that bug will be released soon.
@@beardfm Thank god I don’t have that issue since my first Apple product iPhone I bought it in Jan that’s probably why that’s the reason But hopefully you haven’t had this issue
so happy to see Waterfield featured in a review video. Love their products and brand. That crossbody is definitely my next purchase.
Love their stuff for sure!
Oh wow I love that Shinjuku Messenger Bag! It’s a shame that I can’t get it because I live in Portugal. Best looking bag I’ve ever seen.
Congratulations! You are my new tech guy. Your content and recommendations are the best in the business. You are amazing!
Truly appreciate that 🙏🏻 means a lot!
Love the Anker SD reader, it is great.
That magnetic cable and Nomad charger are tempting me though, not to mention those mics.
The Nomad is so small and thin, it's great for travel!

You're welcome! And I'm still using this same messenger for my iPad, love it.
Some awesome looking picks here. Thanks!
Appreciate it!
would love you to do a review on the new Logitech combo, touch, keyboard folio case
Trying to get my hands on it for sure!
@@beardfm I just got mine yesterday and love it. I returned my magic keyboard and apple folio case. This does both without switching case, provides protection, and cheaper. Only two issue is fingerprint magnet and the thunderbolt cut out size.
Perfect timing I was researching the Waterfield last night and couldn’t find any video except the WB promo. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Haha well I'm glad you found this!
I have a 14" MBP, will this bag fit the laptop, 10 tablet, and a water bottle + keys?
The iPad WaterField bad won't fit a 14" MBP, but they have others for that!
Can you please suggest a case if you don’t need a keyboard
Decoded Bags has good cases!

Does the WaterField iPad Messenger Bag's ipad compartment has false buttom? or just padding on the side?
Just padding on the side, no false bottom
Great accessories! Thanks for making this video.
Appreciate that!
On the Waterfield bag, are the magnet strong enough to keep the bag close when it is picked up by the handle or when the bag happens to fall horizontally?
It is! Hasn’t opened yet unless I purposely open
I like your video! It’s very helpful. But do you have any recommendations of usb-c adapter to 3.5mm headphones jack for iPad Pro 12.9? I mean just a simple adapter not like 2 in 1 or multi function
Wow, you got airpods max 10 years ago. I’m so jealous because my 1st AirPods was release in 2017, 7 years ago 😁🤣

Hello, is your WD messenger Shinjuku bag the compact size or the full size? Thanks
Compact! Fits the 11" iPad Pro
@@beardfm thanks for answering. Do you think the compact would fit a regular letter size folder as well? I need to carry that and an iPad pro 11" for work. I contacted Waterfield, but they weren't able to tell me. Thanks in advance!
Would you know if a Sony a7c or similar Cam would fit in that bag easily?
If you detach the lens, for sure!
about that hypershop usbc hub that you just plug right in, will it work with your ipad if it has a case on it?
It would have to be an extremely thin case, but likely not.
What size is the messenger bag? it comes in compact or regular.
Mine was the compact for 11". If you're going with a 13" iPad go with the regular.
For a long time, as Chanel prices have risen, I no longer thought I could afford it. I think I would be happy to have a luxrul as a travel bag that I don't have to take care of. By the way, I'm sure no one would have a hard time telling the difference. Thanks for the comparison.
what the max charging the ipad pro can take?
Is it 35w?
I believe it's 60W as that's what the new Magic Keyboard can deliver through the Smart Connector.
you were able to verify this through your cables or digital powerbank that shows the output ?@@beardfm
are you able to verify this with your power bank / cables?@@beardfm
How tight is the fit for the 11” inch? Could it fit a 12.9/13” iPad? (I want something with snug fit)
I don't think the pocket is big enough to accommodate the 13" I'd go for the larger size messenger

Will the M4 13 fit M2 12.9 cases
No, the magnets are located in different positions.
Magnets are aligned differently. If you have a case that doesn’t utilize magnets, the physical dimensions should line up and fit
@beardfm perfect, I love my Zugu case.

AirPods Max did not come out two years ago
I said ten* but it was being sarcastic 😏
Propane and Propane Accessories…
Great review. Send me an ipad😢
Thanks! Sorry I don't have a spare!
Waterfield is nice but way too expensive
Go with quality or go home. (IMO)
My wife basically acted the same way. 😅
