Hey all, I am working on a new mtg bag design below, I apologize for the crude drawing, but we are working on a version that is constantly changing, when I get to a more stable design version I will work on a cad file that will be far more professional. Forgive my early stagedness but this is when people can really influence a product. And I am looking for feedback, what you-all use, and how I can improve the current design!! I have been playing magic for a while now and it always frustrated me when I had to move my stuff around the tables because if I drop it randomly in my bag, then it was hard to set up again and if I took my time then it held up the tournament.
My advice? If you want feedback on designs, you have to make it effortless for me to look at them. I see a picture of what looks like a computer screen with a scan of a drawing and I'm left thinking you're some computer illiterate elder. Even if that wasn't painful enough, all I see are plans. You're not even giving me an artistic sketch to work with here. The effort you're requiring of me seems substantial.
I took one look at that thing, groaned, and closed the tab. Sorry man, you've got to meet me halfway. Make the experience easy for me and I'll be more committed to helping you.

I use a slim cardboard deckbox that has a capacity for a stack of about 500 sleeved cards and can be easily slipped into my backpack. My waterproofing is simply a plastic bag. Nothing ever gets crushed, wet, bent, or out of order. Total cost: ~$1.00.
Your idea isn't bad, I'm sure there would be a handful of serious player interested but personally (I suggest really putting a little more effort into your visuals and design), I wouldn't want a deckbox-for-a-backpack.

These are just drawings at the scale of what can fit in each pocket. They are deep enough to hold a tower :) I am sorry we don't have cad drawings of exactly what the bag looks like because we are still in the discovery phase, what exactly players need and want. Building a cad system with textures etc, (though I can do it) will take 5-6 days of work to get right. And when this is changing roughly every hour it is not worth the work until we are at a more stable version of the design.

I just use my purse. The thing is incredibly sturdy, able to hold around 30 kilos of cards, which are all stored in the usual rectangle cardboard boxes.
And yes, I carry that around with me.
