My favorite bag of holding, it's what carries all my gaming gear
My squire keeps asking for one. Not sure why.

Check this out instead:
Wizdice 100+ random poly's with 1 guarenteed set
I got 10 matching sets, 17 sets total, and multiples of others loose.
You could buy 2 sets of these for the same price, guarenteeing LOTS MOAR dice and actually save $10 to buy your granny a needle and thread and a bag to make you a better bag of holding...

60 USD for a bag?
What is it made of?
That's not the messenger bag, the messenger bag is in my post. This is just a dice bag. That being said, it does also include 140 dice, a full 7-dice set of all 20 WizDice colors. For $60, you get 20 different full sets of dice, and a nice bag for them. That's a good deal. When you go to Amazon to get it for $30, it's a steal.

If I were to buy a large quantity of dice purely for the ACG (perhaps because I'm organizing games at game stores or conventions) I'd go with the Educational Sampler someone posted earlier. It's easier to pick out the die sizes when all the dWhatevers are the same color.
Otherwise the Bag of Holding dice isn't a bad set, though having played Wizards/Arcane Casters for a very long time I prefer to have more d6s per color.
As far as the messenger bag, I'm done with them as they slip off my shoulder. (I'm a bit slouchy.) I have a very nice backpack, though.

Delayed reaction. You're supposed to have the strap cross your chest so the bag sits on your opposite hip, not carry it on the same side as the shoulder you're using.

Some are designed that way, but others don't seem to be and aren't carried that way by people. The specific "Bag of Holding" messenger bag linked above has a sample picture which appears to be being carried on the same shoulder.
I personally don't carry them with the strap on the opposite shoulder because when I've tried it I ended up choking.

I have the Bag of Holding messenger bag (2 of them actually, as the old one was getting worn out after 4 years of constant everyday use in college so I got a replacement). I wear it on the opposite side of the hip, it'd slip off if I didn't do that. I've never experienced any choking even with 20+ pounds of stuff in the bag, the strap is adjustable so you can make it match your height.
My one gripe with it is that the metal thingie to adjust strap length is placed at the far end of the bag, meaning it digs into your shoulder if the bag has any appreciable amount of weight in it, making long treks while wearing the bag really not fun. The strap also seems to love to lengthen itself over time, meaning I need to constantly readjust it to be shorter so the bag isn't bashing against my legs.
On the hip side of things, it's very well-padded and I don't have any comfort issues there. Wearing a jacket or hoodie greatly lessens the shoulder discomfort as well.
The inside of the bag is also great, it has two storage areas so you can keep books separated from things like pens and dice, it has a dedicated padded laptop pouch at the back of the bag, and on the rear face there is another pocket to store various things like character sheets or other thin items. The bag can fit a 17" laptop with a bit of fanagling, but it's a pretty tight fit. 15" and below won't have any issues whatsoever.
