Is the top of the bag cut shorter on one side so it's easier to open?

No, the top of the bag is the same length on both sides. Otherwise, they are very handy to have around.

There is mesh on both sides but it only opens from one side like a pizza box. It has a gold color chain linked to zippers on each side of the flap closure. You pull the chain across and down to zip both sides at the same time. At the foot of the bag you secure it with a snap closure because the zipper does not zip across at the bottom base.

It's a double handle that works over the top when it's zipped shut. One part is by the raised handle towards the back, the other on the front of the bag by the zipper. No side handles. Nice bag.

If you look at the black strip (1/2 way down on the mesh in the front), one end opens and you can slip it through there to help the bag keep its shape.

I believe this opens all the way, but it does not state such on their packaging. Jerry - The Gear Guy

there are handles on both sides at the ends, but only one handle in the middle of the bag.

No, as approximately the bottom is sewn to make a bag. Only the top half is openable and held closed by velcro.

It's Amazons custom packing that is supposed to make for easier opening. It's also recyclable and protects the product.See more info here: http://www.amazon.com/b/?&node;=5521637011

No, it is open. Top comes off to put bag in it then fits around edge of can.

No guarantees that someone with a knife won't just slash open the bag and take the contents, or cut off the straps and take the whole thing. The bag when full is pretty unwieldy, however. My one wish is that it were overall firmer and kept its shape when empty. Think of it as soft side luggage. It's only secure as long as you're by its side.

Yes, the top opens as well as the one side. I've found this is really useful for getting an unenthusiastic cat into the carrier :) Overall, I thought it was a good product. If you intend to use this as a carrier vs a crate, keep in mind that it can be a bit cumbersome to carry around (especially if your pet is over 10lbs.). I'm able to carry it with my two cats inside which comes to about 20+ pounds. However the handles are a bit awkward.

The bag only opens at one side, just like a very large ziploc bag with a valve on the top side of the bag so you can attach the vacuum hose to it and draw out the air.

It prys open from the middle. The first few times it is tough to open, then becomes easy.

it is open on the top so I guess it wouldn't matter as long as you fit the knife in the guides on the sides

One opening on the short side. But I had to cut another side open to get the photos in.

No, it's still like a duffel - just a little taller and a bit shorter, which makes it have a slightlly boxier shape.

They are just as difficult or easy depending on your method as the others. I usually just put the bag inbetween the palms of my hands and rub them together. The bag gives way and opens easily.
