I found it reliving to have on Velcro but a metal clasp instead.

Still i think I'm going to sew in some Velcro and make it convenient,
though noisy.

I will say that the flap keeps the stuff covered even when not fastened.
It IS a deep bag. Stuff would tend to fall out less quick as it's deep
in there.

It's gotta be deep to fit the prints.
