Would've been nice to see each one packed out with all the common tech items
I own both and I cannot stop using the Mini, I love it. But with a minor gripe, and it's the pen loop. It's overbuilt, and should have been placed much higher. It hinders use of those mesh pockets. If you take a look at the Aer slim pouch, I don't think they promoted as a pen holder, but their little name tag on the inside is set high and holds a pen perfectly and out the way. Make sense? Lol
Thanks for sharing your insights, Timothy! We love hearing how folks use gear 😃

Mini is a great little bag.
Perfect as daily sling just for the essentials.
I don’t really use the pen loop.
Thanks for sharing your experience.
Yup, it needs a little improvement. I use the loop to store an extra .50 BMG cartridge. It really hinders the usage of everything else and I'm afraid it will explode getting hit by the other craps. Make sense?
Yeah
No
I mean, IDK what I'm talking about.
Cheers anyway ...
😁😁😁
Does anyone know if either bag will fit a Fujifilm x-t5 with a pancake lens?
Does it come with sling?
I got rid of the zipper pulls and used paracord as a replacement. Also i got the newer version of the tech case. love both version but I like the newer version a bit more, with the changings they made. I might get the mini one..
Thanks for sharing your insights! 🤙
-Eric
Good idea! I am sorry but I will copy it... 🙃
Thanks for doing this comparison video. I thought the mini would be too small and was confused between which one to pick for a Long time but this video helped me make the decision.
Thanks for the comment! We’re happy to help 😃
-Eric
Which did you end up picking?
@@jaker2843 The regular one since it is almost the same size as the mini except the thickness. And it can take more items like larger batteries, cables and other edc with ease.
Great video. If one were to carry cash in the mini is there a discreet pocket or an optimal pocket inside that has a zipper. The only zippers I see are one of the outside of the pouch or zipper for the main pocket. Do you think that there is a good pocket that fits cash or is it simply not the right bag. Thanks!
Good video, thank you for your time and effort. I agree with video. I have the Mini and next up is the tech case. I hope it's useful for me.
I really like Alpaka gear and they are always tweaking designs and seem to really care about making small changes and offering many different configurations.
It's hard to please everyone, they all have different needs and Alpaka seems to respond to changes that may help near packing perfection.
I have the stabilization strap to help avoid the natural resting place when in sling mode front or back. I haven't figured out how to use it yet but thats what I'mresearching now.
The Tech Mini is a very good pouch, just remember that every pouch will fit everyone's need differently so there really doesn't seem like there is a bad pouch just a pouch that isn't for you.
Keep looking there are many great configurations. I also have the Clutch pro, the small pro puch that looks like a small coiin purse and the Ark Bi-Fold Wallet which is absolutely primo. I'm really digging
the dark and olive greens.
If someone can ever figure out where to get the type of jackets the models are wearing in the instagram style photos and in the shop app, please drop a comment. I wrote to the company a couple different times with no resp[onse.
I like the look of the material and the sleekness for a few perticular engagments as it would fit the criterea perfect. I'm hoping to find out what kind of material or similar jackets and where they can be found. Thank oyu.
I think they're probably blocktech parkas of uniqlo
An iPhone 12 Pro Max with a slim-ish otterbox symmetry case wouldn’t fit in the outside pocket at all? I got the utility pouch from Alpaka but it might be a bit too small for me😔
Thanks for the comparison! Do you know if the inner zippered compartment in the mini will fit a passport?
Have you done a comparison of the Elements Tech Case vs the Peak Design Tech Pouch
Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll pass it along 😊
-Eric
How many liters would you say the mini is? and the regular?
I got the mini. (before I saw this), it works really well as a sling, but its to thin for what I try to put in it, so I ended up giving away and getting a wandrd tech bag medium. I'm won over by the sling functionality on these tech cases. I may end up getting the newly redesigned Alpaka Tech Case mini v1.2 to supplement the wandrd for when I need to bring more. It can fit an ipad mini (the wandrd and mini are too small) as well as bigger 24k power banks or bigger laptop power bricks/x100 sized cameras. I'd get a thicker strap though if I'm holding that much weight.
Thanks for sharing your insights! 🤙
-Eric
thanks for this video, it made me get the slim in olive x42
You’ll have to let us know how you like it! 😃
-Eric
does ipad mini6 will fit on tech case mini?
is it possible to wear this as clutch (for attending weeding)?? - is it gonna be weird ?? Thank You
jangle-free zippers on the mini is very cool.
Escaping the jangle is an excellent feeling 😃
-Eric
I didn’t notice it until I read your comment. Haha.
That’s why I feel some peace when wearing it. Haha
Any chance you’ll be reviewing the newer Max version? It seems they made some significant upgrades, but not sure about that $92 price tag
Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll pass it along 😃
-Eric
what happened to the UK folks/reviewers haha. kinda miss them
Great review. What is the maximum length of the Pro Strap please?
I really want to fit my Maxpedition Mini into this case but from the measurements I have seen it doesn't look like it will fit. Can anybody confirm?
Nice video. I have the larger model and am very happy with it. I decided to remove the divider in the main compartment and it works even better. All the best and keep up the good work! 😀✌
Thanks for sharing your insights! 🤙
-Eric
Can you help? I'm looking like a sling bag that I can wear on my back when cycling (back bent forwards 45 degrees), and that won't slip down to my side. What is the right way to go? A sling bag capable of staying in this position is one option. Another, is a sling bag that has an additional strap that acts as a tether to keep it in place. A third option is a sling bag that converts into a small backpack? Waterproof or at least water resistant would be preferable. Can you help identify a solution for this?
Ordered the mini by accident worried about it being too small for everyday edc
the mini is the same as the aer slim pouch
Which is better?
thanks its helpful
Thanks for watching! 😃
-Eric
Can it fit iPad mini 6 on alpaka mini?
Also curious about this
Is ALPAKA better than AER? Someone please answer me…
Please answer this
Form wise, can’t beat the alpaka!
👍👍👍
🤙🤙🤙
I use the Elements tech case and fill it up with River Rocks, then leave the strap extra long. My phone and accessories are in my pockets and jacket Pockets. This tech case sure makes a nice Socking Bag and very effective when fill with solid river rocks.
I ride NYC Subways, until we get our 2nd amendment rights restored "Soon 🤞", My Elements Tech Case will be filled with River Rocks.
Thanks for sharing. 🤗
