I came across this and found the post extremely helpful too, Julie. Thanks. I just ordered a smattering of their pouches and am looking forward to finally organizing all the gear and other junk that currently floats around my bag. I ended up going for these three:

I have a feeling I’ll be back for more soon. Cheers!

Waterfield makes great little zippered pouches don’t they? I really love their stuff! So handy! Glad the review helped you find them!

So I came across your post about the timbuk2 bag and I have been using mine for about a year. However what caught my eye is the cool Waterfield gear pouch. I nearly flipped out. I have been patchin my own tech bag together and cannot find a good solution. This was it. I cannot say enough about this bag. I love it. T

Thank you so much. I travel a lot and you have made my year.

Thanks for the links. The Lewis and Clark bag looks better to me than the other one. But neither ‘do it’ for me. I am almost ready to get the sewing machine out and try to fashion something myself.

There are several neat pouches that might meet your needs. Check out the Eagle Creek site at

http://www.eaglecreek.com/

One example would be the Check Out Pouch. It can be carried on a belt or over the shoulder. I’ve used an essentially identical (save for color–mine is pine green) to carry a candybar cel phone, PDA, pens, checkbook, etc. It might work for your sunglasses. You might be able to find Eagle Creek bags and pouches at local travel or outdoor stores. I like to handle the bags in person, as the pictures usually don’t show the interior.

Eagle Creek also has padded pouches that would provide more protection.

I have a lot of pouches–horizontal, vertical, belt-loops, shoulder straps, etc.–that I’ve tried out. The one I now use is by Lewis N. Clark, the Bicentennial Travel Organizer.

The eBags site has more pictures, including the interior:

I carry a slim glasses case (reading glasses), Palm Tungsten C, cel phone, checkbook (in a neat hidden pocket), and lots of little items. There is a zippered pocket on the outside of the flap and a long zippered mesh pocket on the inside of the flap where I carry little stuff, including stamps. Behind the phone pouch is a zippered slip pocket that fits 4×6 index cards perfectly. The interior of the main pouch is lined with a soft fabric to avoid scratching things.

Oh, and this is NOT a purse. Guys don’t carry purses.

I was having a real problem last night taking pictures of that pouch. I don’t know what the deal was, but it just wasn’t working for me. I really need to reshoot them.

Everything I have ever bought from Waterfield has been top notch. I have their iPod Mini case that looks just like this (except) it’s blue and it’s great for traveling. These pictures would have been better if you would have had some with an iPod and other things actually in the pouch.
