I used this bag a few times for business trips, carrying it in a backpack, but I'm selling it now because I don't travel as much anymore. It's recommended for bags with vertical storage, like the backpacks from MUJI. Of course, you can also put things in horizontally. It has plenty of storage and I think it's a highly functional gadget pouch. The color is shadow. There are no noticeable scratches or damage, but it is a used item, so I hope you understand before purchasing.
