Have the Grab Sack aka Murse (man's purse). Don't ride with it, but do use it on a daily basis for carrying stuff to work. Fits a coffee mug, Kindle, camera and iPod just fine. Probably would work on the bike, but personally hate carrying stuff on myself while riding. That's what my half million bike bags are for.
