Laptop Bag Shopping!

[daynah]

I dispise those ugly black "default" bags that everyone has their laptops in. What kind of bag do you have your laptop in? Is it girlie?

http://www.circuitcity.com/ccd/gener...oid=114390&c=1 I have the one that the model is using. It's not showing up on the real shopping page but whatever. Inside that is a really slim and slick case (but not quite a sleeve) that's in kind of a grey tone that I carry my bag to work and places were neon colors might not go over well.

I'm looking for a change. What do you girlies use?

I found a custom laptop bag maker at etsy.com (which is the geekiest hippy website ever). I think there's also other people who make them on etsy but that's just the first one that came up on a search.

Here's another maker, but for a sleve, not a bag.

and this one is leather. It's pretty slick looking (but not custom, only for 13.5 laptops):http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=5625712

I have a black Swiss Army bag, but for Xmas my brother got me a pinstriped messenger bag. I use that if I need to look nice. It's lacking padding, so I just bought a sleeve to put my laptop in when I use that bag.

Pearlie, that's the one thing I dislike about the messenger bag. It is very lacking in small pockets. I told my brother it'd be a bad purse because everything would get mixed up and I couldn't keep everything in nooks and crannies, but then he said it's for my laptop so the "one giant pocket" made sense. There's a couple smaller pockets. They're the size for me to carry around Linux Format, 2600, Hackers, and WarGames

Heheh, that's great. "The pool on the roof has a leak!!" My boyfriend and I watched that movie as a "date" once. And we read 2600 on another. XD

I agree with you about the need for pockets, though... I just like stuff that is straightforward and not really fancy, so I just have a plain black laptop case, but it doesn't have any pockets... and I'd prefer to have a place to keep the power stuff and extra battery and mouse (I hate hate hate the touchpad thing... oops, went Kefka there for a bit).

Mine is black, but I'm into black so it works for me. The coolest thing about it is that it's like an origami puzzle, with about two dozen pockets and hidden compartments and zippers and velcro - it's a totally over-the-top geek mobile storage unit. If I ever actually filled it, I'd have to hire a small boy to push from the bottom and help me carry it around. It was a Christmas pressie from me mum, I've no idea where she got it. But it's really me - I get all OCD when I travel and have to have all my electro-bits with me.
