gear bag

Being a techie junky, I’m always on the lookout for a good satchel or briefcase-type bag to carry all of my gear.  I’m a computer technician, so something sturdy and roomy with lots of pockets is something I always need for work. I was given the chance to review the Bridle Leather Briefcase from LederMann [...]

Not often do manufacturers design a laptop bag with one specific brand or even model in mind. I am not talking about a form-fitted case or sleeve, but an actual bag created and/or named to hold a certain device. But the folks at WaterField Designs have done just that; the HardCase is aimed specifically at Apple’s 13″ [...]

The Side Effect started out as a waist pack, but Tom Bihn decided to change it after reading about all the ways customers were modifying it to meet their needs.  The new Side Effect can now be worn or carried in a variety of ways, but it still has plenty of room to carry your [...]

We Gadgeteers haul our tech everywhere. Sometimes, we just need a few things, sometimes we need a lot. Sometimes we need to look presentable and business-like, sometimes it’s OK to look like we’re packing for a trip into a war zone or the wilderness. The 13″ Smart Sleeve for Mac from iHome is for those [...]

“A place for everything and everything in its place” – Samuel Smiles, Isabella Beeton, Benjamin Franklin? Isn’t coincidence a funny thing?  My wife had to go on a work trip for a few weeks and asked if we had a small backpack she could use while she was away.  Now I’m a messenger sort of [...]

The technology we carry around is continuously becoming lighter, smaller, faster, more feature-rich, etc. But many of us are having to carry more of it with us, either by choice or necessity. I regularly find myself taking my iPad and MacBook with me day in and day out, along with their power cords, odds and [...]

I am a bag-aholic. Somewhere deep in my reptile brain I seem to be convinced that if I find just the right bag, I can get perfectly organized and my life will make sense. OK, so far that has never happened, but the Ogio Renegade RSS backpack has come closer to my ideal than any [...]

Saddleback Leather‘s newest addition is the Gadget Bag.  It’s boxier than your typical briefcase, and looks and feels incredible like all of Saddleback Leather’s products.  I recently got a digital SLR camera, so the Gadget Bag’s shape caught my attention.  Let’s take a look.

When pants pockets just don’t seem to have the capacity for all of your personal gadgets and gear, what do you do? Backpack? Messenger bag? Those are fine and all, but if you don’t have that much indispensable tech and kit, then you want something a bit less bulky. The KangaTek GO just might be [...]

I was very interested to see these Filson bags while surfing recently.  Filson makes a line of fabric and leather luggage, travel accessories and wallets, briefcases and totes, and field bags (think daily-carry gear bags).  They use twill and wool fabrics in their bags, and I especially love the looks of the medium Wool Field [...]

For years, I’ve been using a Levenger Bomber Leather zippered pouch to hold my cables, SD cards, and other small stuff.  I love the bag, and it still looks beautiful after years of use, but it has no organization inside.  The new Bomber Jacket Electronics Hold-All Case has the beautiful Bomber Leather that I love [...]

The Jet Roller bag from STM Bags has a large compartment for packing your clothes for a 1-3 day trip, just as you’d expect from luggage.  The unexpected is that the Jet Roller can also act as your laptop bag.  The front of the bag has room for your computer (up to 17″) in the [...]

Last year I told you about some multipurpose cases for the original iPad from Happy Owl Studio. I never got a chance to try one of their cases with my iPad, but I never forgot about them. I was happy to see they were updating their products for the iPad 2. You know how I [...]

Some folks are “shoe” folks, some ladies are “purse” folks and many people who read this site are “bag folks”.  They love bags to carry gadgets in!  A company out of the UK called Bodykit is bringing some pretty unusual designs to the market.  Don’t think camping and back-packing with these.  These are considered “urban” [...]
