Using this backpack is a breeze. First, adjust the shoulder straps to your comfort level so you can carry it around easily. You can put daily essentials like keys and wallets in the front or side zip pockets for quick access. For more valuable items like your tablet, place it in the interior elastic pouch. When it comes to the inside zip pocket, it's great for storing small items you don't want to lose. As for maintenance, keep it away from sharp objects to avoid tearing the glitter - covered fabric. If it gets dirty, you can use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe the surface. Don't machine - wash it as the glitter might come off. When not in use, hang it up using the back carrying/hanging loop to keep its shape.
