@@TheEverydayManChannel I appreciate it, bro! See you on the next review!

@ if you can, please review the Inateck Sling with bottle/umbrella holder.

[@shanebellare]

@@TheEverydayManChannel I think you're the second person to recommend reviewing this bag. I'll try to find one!!

[@miaescobedo2500]

I love the blue and orange color. This is the perfect size for me I want to start carrying less and I like how it sits flat on the body

[@shanebellare]

The size is perfect ! Thank you for watching and please don’t forget to like and subscribe! Currently planning for a comparison video for the regular Elements Tech Case vs this one!

[@KelvinHew7]

I have the Tech Case Mini as my tech pouch, Zip Clutch and the Zip Pouch Pro as my travel wallet and daily wallet respectively in RX30 Ocean Blue. I may get whatever is in RX30 Ocean Blue depending on my needs😅

[@shanebellare]

it's such a nice color! how are the Zip Clutch and Pouch Pro? Haven't looked into these!

[@KelvinHew7]

@@shanebellare initially I bought the Zip Clutch to replaced my retired Tru Virtu clamshell wallet, but it was too big to be used as a daily wallet. So I bought the Zip Pouch Pro for basic EDC and daily wallet. The Zip Clutch will only be used during my travels as it can hold my passport and offers more space.

[@shanebellare]

That’s cool! Smaller and less bulkier wallets are certainly the way to go! My old leather wallets just serve as storage now for extra ID’s and back up credit cards .

@@shanebellare I even use a Topo Designs Micro accessory bag to store my Indonesian Rupiah notes.

[@shanebellare]

Topo designs is also another interesting and creative brand!

Thanks for this review. Do you think I'll be able to squeeze a 3inch in depth camera in this bag? I know it it's 2 inch bag, but seems big and possibly be a tight fit?

[@shanebellare]

Hey, thank you for your support! The only camera I've tried that fits in this Tech Case Mini is a Sony A6000 with a 35mm lens attached to it. In terms of depth, that's about 2.7 inches. It can fit, but It's tight. And I don't think I can place anything else inside while the camera is there. The regular sized Elements Tech Case from Alpaka might be better for your camera. If you're interested, I also made a review about it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJDMZYifh71serM I've also made a comparison of the regular tech vs the Vertex Pouch vs Go Sling Mini V2. kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4XUfWSZfsqtock Hope I was able answer your question, and kindly subscribe so that it allows us to make more reviews like this one. We're also planning a comparison video for the elements tech vs tech case mini, so watch out for that!

@@shanebellare thanks for your well put reply. I was just looking for something waterproof for rainy days for my camera. Something that fits tight would be ideal as I won't put anything more. But I've always stayed away from slings because there's just no way I'll put a camera in them if there's a quick release on the strap! As for the other regular and max model, they have too much dividers to actually fit a camera, right? So the other option I like is their Go Sling Nano, but it seems like all their bags come standard with the magnetic strap so it's a no for me. And while you could buy other straps with quick release system, they don't sell the standard strap. What the heck?!

[@shanebellare]

I definitely agree with you on that one. The quick release buckles were initially what drew me to most of Alpaka's slings, but they're not very useful. I don't find myself unbuckling the straps when I have the slings on, most especially if the bags are heavy. They also get in the way if I have a backpack on at the same time. And most would have the fear of theft because of how inconsistent some magnetic maglockz or fidlocks can be. Personally, I think the hardest fidlock buckle to detach is one on the Go Sling mini since it requires two hands. Uhmm, as for the dividers, I still was able to fit my camera if the tech case was mostly empty. I guess they have a way of molding their shape around the largest of items in the pouch. Re: Straps without magnetic buckles...Haha I find that funny too!

[@Nikki6371]

Which is better between this and the AER Slim pouch?

[@shanebellare]

I’ve never tried the aer slim pouch but hope to get to review one soon! Thank you for your question and please like and subscribe as it allows us to make more reviews like this one! I’ll watch reviews on the aer slim pouch and share with you my thoughts :)

[@sizzlack095]

Hi u think i can fit the Lenovo y700 2023 in there its almost the same Size as Ipad Mini 6 (208.9x129.5x7.6mm / 8.22x5.10x0.30in) but i measured with the Keyboard case i have it would be just more Height instead of 12.9cm ~16cm / 5.10 ~6,29in the lenght is the same as IPad Mini just the Height will be more, its the only Sling pouch i found that is small Compact looks good and has good room just the Height is abit Tricky

[@shanebellare]

Hi! If you need a bit more height, you can’t go wrong with the regular sized Alpaka Elements Tech Case. The size is just right and you can compress it if you don’t need the extra space. You can check out my channel because I did a review about it last year. Hope this helps and please don’t forget to like and subscribe!

[@zorbyss]

does it stand on its own?

[@shanebellare]

Thank you for your question! It doesn’t stand as easily as the regular sized Alpaka Elements Tech Case because of its extra middle compartment, which makes it stand on its own. I did a quick demo before the end of the video to compare the two tech pouches. Hope this helps and please don’t forget to like and subscribe as it allows to make more reviews like one. I’m also shooting Alpaka Tech Case comparisons!

[@pippip1799]

so does it fit ipad mini or not??

[@shanebellare]

Hi there, thank you for your question! Yes, an iPad Mini can fit in the main compartment if the case is a bit thick, like if it has a magic keyboard attached. Then if the ipad case is slim, then it can fit the tech sleeve, similar to the Kindle that I demonstrated in the video for EDC loadout (You can check out the timestaps). But if you need a bit more space, I suggest the regular sized Alpaka Tech Case, which I also reviewed here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJDMZYifh71serM Hope this helps! Kindly like and subscribe as it allows us to make more reviews like this one, and so we can reach our goal of 1000 subscribers. I'll be reviewing more Alpaka products soon!

Can I fit a Kindle in it?

[@shanebellare]

Hi! Thank you for your question. I was able to fit a Kindle, and this can also accommodate an iPad Mini. You can watch that part at around 8:52 of the review. Thank you for support!
