Laptop Bags & Cases

SWORDFISH SUMATRA laptop bag bought from Dixons

Advantages: The bag looks ok, but otherwise no advantages to be found
Disadvantages: don't waste your money and Dixons customer service is dire.

...Even the letters on the Swordfish logo have been dropping off (very shoddy). Dixons say there is nothing they can do about it as I don't have the receipt (it was a gift). They also won't give me the manufacturers contact details, and basically said they won't do anything about it. I won't be shopping there again. I've noticed that this bag now sells for a third of the cost it did a year ago...Hmmmm I wonder why? Actually, I don't even think it's ...

Review of Swordfish Sumatra Laptop Backpack

Indestructible laptop bags!

Advantages: Super tough stitching, Lots of Pockets, Functional and fashionable
Disadvantages: Price

I first came across Crumpler when I picked up my Sony Vaio notebook and it came with a mini Crumpler notebook bag. I was really impressed and had a look at the Crumpler website and liked what I saw, they really push the brand on the website and have created a website to show it. And then comes the price list to go along with the brand, bags go between £50 and up to over £100. A quick search round the internet, found most websites that sell them, ...
...all as new. The Crumpler I bought in the end is the McBain’s range the extra large model which supports up to 15” laptops. My bag is blue and orange but they do it in several other colours. I choose the McBain’s due to the protection, size of bag, number of pockets, and it has a shoulder strap pad. It’s made of ChickenTex 1000 D fabric with waterproof lining. It’s stitched to within an inch of its life, and I have never seen a single stitch on a ...

Review of Crumpler McBain's Large

Bags you carry the stuff

Advantages: Stylish and he has to carry his own things!
Disadvantages: Could be deeper?

...is it? London fashion brand STORM is apparently renowned for its exclusive watches and distinctive stylish fashion accessories. Their website proclaims that with innovative designs and minimalist inspiration, STORM offers a range of styles from contemporary edginess to sleek sophistication. Well despite the hype, I am inclined to agree here - but more later. STORM is a global brand who retail to more than 45 countries around the world. It has its ...
...China and Germany. More STORM stores are planned in South Africa and Nigeria during 2009. that's ok then - get your hols planned! You can of course buy storm products in the uk.

Review of Storm Shoulder Messenger Bag

Be.ez LArobe - Stylish protection for your Mac

Advantages: Stylish, with good lightweight protection
Disadvantages: Perhaps a little pricy

...bit, I plumped for the Be.ez 13.3 LArobe (pictured above). I assume the Be.ez is pronounced 'be easy'. It looks good and ticked the boxes for the level of protection offered. I got mine from Amazon (of course, because of the voucher) and it cost me £19.38 inc Post and Packing. I reckon this is a tad pricey, for instance there are some available in the £5 region if you look, but neither is it the most expensive in class. Delivery was speedy; ordered ...
...The technical bit: - It's made out of "Low Resilience Polyurethane (LRPu)", black on the outside, and coloured on the inside. Mine is green on the inside, or "Wasabi" according to the blurb. - The thickness of the memory foam is 5mm. Memory foam means when you press into it, it leaves an indent for a short while before returning to its original shape. This is good for shock absorbing should you drop anything on it, or indeed it on anything. - It ...

Review of Be.ez LArobe Classic

I'll give it an A+

Advantages: Copmpact, strong and quite nice looking
Disadvantages: None for the price

...The Tech Air Z0102 is perhaps not quite in between but as close as you might wish, being that it is quite basic. It has a large spacious interior which as I said would probably accommodate a 14” machine, mine being a petite 12.1 there is sufficient space left to hold my external power cable. There is also an adjustable portion, which is easily removed by way of simply peeling of the Velcro fastening. It can then be re-positioned to snuggly fit you ...
...fact I think it looks pretty good considering the price. There is an interior pocket for holding those vital documents and keeping them dry and safe. A small exterior pouch which is zipped can be used to store other pieces of equipment which may be required by your machine, i.e. CD’s DVD,s this pouch is probably about 12” by 9” so there are possibilities for larger requirements. The overall size of the case is approx 15” by 12” and it is made of ...
