Oh good...someone who uses the Jailhouse.  Questions... <g>

How much room for paper storage is there?  Ideal for me would be
something 8.5x11 sized with a divider.  I carry a few Dampp Chaser
brochures, several copies of PTG tech bulletins, Joe Garrett's and
Newton Hunt's labor guides, invoices, and a couple other miscellaneous
things that get squeezed in wherever.

Is the interior similar to the Big House, but smaller?

Any chance a pocket might hold an iPod? <G>  I like to keep it out of
the hot and cold car.  And sometimes even listen to it when doing
things like hammer reshaping that take a while.

Right now, I'm carrying the Genck with all my most needed tools.
Plus, a portfolio with all the stuff listed above in the first
question.  I'd really like to combine everything into one bag, and the
price is just right.

Any chance you could post pictures of how yours looks with tools in
it?  I was about to call Duluth to ask about that.
