 Smaller than you think May 19, 2010

The measurements given are outside measurements, including the area beyond the zip. So the bags hold less than you think.
Subtract an inch for the zip, and you will have a better idea of size. The bags seem very sturdy and leak proof.
 Don't use it for your Kindle! January 12, 2010

I bought these bags all excited that I could read my Kindle without having to worry about getting it wet in the Hot Tub or on the beach. No such luck! The bag recommended for the Kindle is the 9"x6". These are outside measurements as it turns out. You can put the Kindle in, but you will never get it closed. Very disappointing! So for now I am back to using the Ziploc baggies!!!Kindle Wireless Reading Device (6" Display, Global Wireless, Latest Generation)
Keeps stuff dry, not very durable December 4, 2009

I've used aloksaks many times, mainly for keeping electronics and maps dry while kayaking and adventure racing. They work well if you follow the instructions on the bag. They tend to scratch easily, which isn't a problem unless you're trying to read a map that is inside one.
I have had a few of the zippers rip away from the rest of the bag, which is kinda a problem, but that is usually because I am rough with them.
It's worth noting that if you want to get rid of the black lettering on the outside of the bag, use a paper towel and some rubbing alcohol and they rub right off! Again, useful if trying to read a map through the bag.
All in all a good bag, but you may need a few extras on hand due to the average to poor durability. Spend the extra money, don't use a regular ziplock bag, or your goods WILL get wet.
Don't buy a 6x9 aLoksak for your Kindle2! July 17, 2009

I bought these directly from the Loksak website where they even have a note saying "NEW! Recommended on the Amazon blog to protect the Kindle reading device." Apparently not the 6x9. The INSIDE width of the 6x9 bag is only 5.25 inches; there's a 3/4 inch edge outside the zipper. The 5 3/8 Kindle 2 won't fit. When I emailed the customer service department saying I thought the product is misrepresented I got a rather terse reply saying it was my fault I had ordered the wrong size. I called to speak to the CS supervisor who got quite nasty with me. I paid just under $6.00 for shipping, and unless I pay to ship them back I'm out of luck. Not at all a pleasant company to deal with.
If only they were a wee thicker March 17, 2009

I am a passionate fly fisherman. My avocation takes me all over the world--places where cameras, SAT phones, GPS's and documents all get wet....and ruined.
For years now, I have relied on Aloksak bags (and packets of dessicant) to keep the important stuff dry. At any given time, I have half a dozen on board my flats boat in the Florida Keys.
The bags are all they claim to be. They are the ultimate alternative to Zip Lock freezer bags!
If only the platic was a wee bit thicker!
