"Not really 9 X 6"

Hoping to be comfortable taking my Amazon Kindle poolside, I got these bags (9 X 6) before vacation. Since the Kindle measures only 5 3/8 inches by 8 1/4, it should fit.

Wrong. These bags measure only 5 1/4 by 8 3/4 inside the zipper.

They do a great job keeping out the water, just don't plan on putting something that is 6X9 into them. 2 stars

"Not for sharp edged batteries inside checked in luggages"

When placing Aloksak inside your checked in luggages (where your luggage get's squeshed pretty hard) avoid putting rectangular metal objects like a spare battery (PDA, Cell Phones) as the edges of these objects would cause pin holes - this happened to me but the seller sent me a replacement. So 4 star for excellent customer service. 4 stars

"Works like a charm..."

I bought these recently for an adventure race involving a lot of water and mud. I used the larger one for a big map folded in half, the mid size for a information book, and the smaller for a cell phone (I bought several different variety). All three bags worked flawlessly being submerged completely under water at several occasions and through multiple zippings and unzippings. These are a very high grade of plastic and are constructed very well. These aren't anything like the space bags I have that can't hold a seal for more than 15 minutes. 5 stars

"Great for adventure racing, orienteering, camping. . ."

I used the smallest size sak (9x6) for a recent adventure race. I liked the smaller size (easier to hand carry) but the next size up might have been a little better. Fortunately, our map was small enough to fit in the small sak. 5 stars
