- Slappa Ballistix Aura Pro
- These days, mobility in tech carries its burdens. Sometimes we don't just need a way to carry a laptop--we need a bag for our SLR camera, our charging cables, our HDMI cables, and our rechargeable adapters. Traveling can often require a separate gear bag. That's exactly what the $129...

- Bag Friday: Booq Taipan Backpack
- A short-series of reviews of some of the latest bags I’m toting. After returning from Macworld I vowed to wear a backpack whenever I have to bring my MacBook with me for long periods of time. While messenger bags may look cooler, they simply aren't ergonomic enough...

- Solo Tech Netbook Mini Instant-Messenger laptop bag (black)
- Solo's Netbook bag is compact, comfortable, and TSA approved, which means you can zip through airport security without removing your laptop from the bag. While it's a well crafted Netbook bag, I must back up and question the very idea of a Netbook bag. I thought the appeal of a...

- Mobile Edge ScanFast Backpack - notebook carrying backpack

- The $100 Solo Bucket Tote is tailor-made for the on-the-go female executive looking for both a functional and attractive bag, rather than a basic laptop briefcase. This is notable, as it's normally hard to find a case that's practical, yet sassy enough, to fit our lifestyle needs. The Solo...

- Kata DR-467 Digital Rucksack
- Lately, I've been obsessed with camera backpacks. It's not easy to find one that does everything I need, since I use backpacks to haul all different size SLRs, from the smallest entry-level, to the largest, integrated-vertical-grip pro bodies. Kata's DR-467 Digital Rucksack proved to be a very versatile bag and...

- Cutebug Messenger
- Were it not for its slightly large size (the better to accommodate your 15.4-inch laptop), we'd think the $90 Mobile Edge Cutebug Messenger was another trendy everyday bag. But behind its vinyl front flap--like the Cutebug Sheba we reviewed earlier this year, decorated with a striking image taken from a...

- Targus Radius Convertible Messenger/Backpack - notebook accessories bundle
- While a 15-inch MacBook laptop from Apple is really about the same size and weight as a 15-inch laptop from any other PC maker, Targus strikes a clever marketing note by specifically advertising its Radius Convertible Backpack as designed for 13-inch and 15-inch MacBooks. The $99 case is, of course,...

- Kensington Contour Active Notebook Vertical Messenger - notebook carrying case
- Messenger-style bags can make you look like, well, a bike messenger or a disaffected hipster, while stuffy business cases look out of place on anyone not wearing wingtips.
