Beautiful bags!!! I’d go with a Classic Briefcase medium for my 2008 Aluminum Macbook and my iPad Air…plus all the other physics teacher crap… =)
I would choose the Utility Duffel! This would be the perfect, overnighter … for almost any occasion.

I would choose the leather brief case and use it to carry my lawschool books.
I’d work the classic briefcase. If you need to have a man-bag might as well do it with some style
Classic Briefcase $568 – $664 value
classic is always classic 😀
https://twitter.com/socialexandru/status/440827239672717312
Thanks for this contest!. I would choose the backpack.
I would choose the Classic Brief Case. I’ve been looking at this for years but could never justify the cost. It would replace my backpack. My EDC is an iPad, personal Daytimers, telecommunications Standard Reference , business cards, first aid kit, survival kit, Fenix PD32 flashlight, SOG multitool, hearing aid repair kit, and SEAL survuval kit. In addition to this documents from work, chaning depening on what I am working on at that time.
I would choose the classic briefcase. Thanks!
I’d put my tablet, folder for student papers, and my texts in it. It might be a bit more impressive than the backpack I’ve been using!
I’d probably go with the classic briefcase – currently I have a “knock-off” because it was what I could afford… though the duffel is tempting because I would probably never otherwise be able to justify getting one 🙂
I like this one: “Squared Backpack”. Thanks!
Classic Briefcase…use it as a basic work briefcase that looks so much nicer than any of my box store purchases.
Classic Briefcase, Laptop, Nexus, flashlight, various cables/conectors.
I’d like to have the square backpack. I’ve always wanted a leather backpack to carry around and I would use this more than the other 2 offered.
I would choose the classic briefcase. I have some usual stuff like ipad3, wallet, usb stick, bussiness cards,keys and lot of odrinary to carry. Thanks!.
Thanks for sharing this contest! I’d use the squared backpack for my teaching materials.
Like the look of the square back pack, would become my main carry bag
I’d go with the squared backpack beside because I like the look and shape.
https://twitter.com/fireman13/status/440840551420534786
I would love the classic briefcase. I currently carry a MacBook Pro an iPad 2 an external hard drive, Logitech trackball and assorted cables.
I would get the utility duffel and use it this summer for my humanitarian trip to third world nations. It would carry needed supplies.
https://twitter.com/flacks/status/440841853789696000
I would choose the classic briefcase to put all the myriad Cub/Boy Scout treasurers files, folders and binders in.
I’m a bit torn between the briefcase and the backpack. But I’d pick the briefcase because I’d get the most use out of it. I would use it to carry my work laptop, lunch, and other daily work/play essentials.
I would go with the Utility Duffel and use it as often as I could just to have that smell and feel of quality leather nearby wherever I go!
https://mobile.twitter.com/raycolejr/status/440841585148719104
Thank you for sharing this opportunity – I love the Classic Briefcase – looks like a perfect fit.
Again, thank you!
I would chose the classic brief case. I would carry my office in it (laptop, tablet, current project I am working on, assorted supplies).
Thanks,
A
I’d choose the Classic Briefcase. It would easily carry my electronics and miscellaneous other components.
Love the Classic Briefcase. It would be perfect to carry my partner and I’s mobile office: 2 MacBook Airs, 2 iPad Minis, and an iPhone.
I would pick the classic backpack for its gorgeous classic look. I am a geek so I typically carry 1-2 tablets (ipad Mini 2nd generation) and/or a Windows 8 tablet of some flavor, a small cable pack to charge all my goodies, small bluetooth mouse, extra batteries, couple of thumbdrives and couple extra styluses.
The utility duffel to carry my travel necessities wherever I go.
I’d love any (all) of them! If I had to choose I’d go for the briefcase though, because I’d use it most often. Put my tablet, chargers, and work documents in there.
Love the classic briefcase! Now that I’ve graduated my nylon Jansport messenger bag doesn’t always seem appropriate. This bag looks fantastic and could very well last my entire career!
I would choose the Classic briefcase. This would be my every day carry bag, for the essential road warrior. Would be used to carry, MacBook Air , ipad, notebook, headphones, backup drive, various assortment of chargers , usb drives business cards , pens and assorted essential daily paperwork.
Classic Briefcase – I would carry an iPad Mini, a digital camera (Fuji X-E1), a film camera (Nikon FE2), and any accessories/cables needed.
Nice-looking bags! The utility duffel would be my choice. I’d have to think about whether I’d ever want to take it on a plane to decide between the large and medium size. Given the bulk and weight, I suspect that I probably would just use this for auto trips.
I would be happy with any of Saddleback’s awesome products but give the choice I would pick the utility duffel. I travel on a fairly regular basis for short periods of time and this bag would hold all of the essentials (Dopp kit, change(s) of clothes, a few other sundry accessories) in style. Plus it would take any unintended abuse that might get handed out.
The Squared Backpack to double as a carry-on and daily duty for my electronic gear I need on the job. Nice giveaway!
What a birthday present this would be! I’d go with the Classic Brief as my first preference ! Love the quality and honesty of saddleback!
I would love the Classic Briefcase . I travel quite often. I love to see those wonderful leather briefcases of those in first class and always am jealous. I would carry what I carry on all my trips. Cables, surface 2, ipad, phone, pens, moleskine and various EDC stuff. I would love the briefcase.
Squared backpack (tobacco colour) would be just great for my daily commute to hold all my gadgets and upcoming trip to London as carry on luggage.
Awesome bit of kit!
The utility duffel would be my choice. I tend to travel a bit and could use a good carry on.
Wow.
Squared Backpack
Carry would be iPad, journal and writing and drawing pens.
And I suppose a laptop when I couldn’t get out of carrying it.
The Duffel would be great for travel!
Amazing giveaway! I’d go with the classic briefcase and wouldn’t carry anything in it… I’d gift to bro-in-law as he’s always wanted one. I’m partial to my WaterField Cargo and would be hard pressed to replace it 🙂
I’d want the briefcase for my son who’s graduating from college. For me, I’m still trying to convince Saddleback to offer an even thinner version of one of their thin briefcases – big enough for a tablet, charger, and letter sized papers and nothing else.
I would choose the Classic Briefcase. Thanks, Julie!
Bismillah! This is awesome. I would definitely go with the Classic Briefcase in Tobacco, medium sized. Id be using it for my Nexus 7 Tablet, Samsung S2 Phone, 2 Moleskines, probably my latest copy of Organic Gardening, a collection of Poetry or Short Stories (Flannery O’Conner for now) and Im currently perusing your site to get a good recommendation on a keyboard for my Nexus 7. So that would be in there too. Hope I win!
I would choose the backpack. I love backpacks.
I would choose the XL Classic Briefcase in Tobacco. And it would be used for my daily work commute with my MBP, iPad, notebooks, and all the miscellaneous equipment I carry.

I would go with the Squared Backpack since I already have the briefcase and love it. I would carry my presentation materials and iPad in it.
I love the Utility Duffel and Classic Briefcase. I would carry my laptop & medical books them.
The Squared Backpack is awesome! I would give it to my wonderfully rugged husband for all his adventures. He loves Saddleback!
I would go with the Utility Duffel – That would be perfect for weekend trips!
Ooh, these are gorgeous bags! I’d love to get the medium-sized Classic Briefcase in Dark Coffee Brown to carry my macbook air and iPad mini.

They all look nice, briefcase for me please!
I would use the squared backpack to pretend like im indiana jones with my kids and take them on voyages in the woods! haul binoculars, compasses, snacks, etc!
I would pick the classic briefcase. That thing is SHARP! I would use it to carry about my tablet and laptop for work.
I tweeted! https://twitter.com/KristinePhot0_j/status/440875846429995008
I would love the classic briefcase. I would use it as my camera bag and double duty it as a diaper bag as well. It’s too difficult carrying two separate bags when I’m on the go with two kids in tow. Thank you for the great giveaway!
Tweeted! 🙂
https://twitter.com/YinThinks/status/440876731784634368
I have several Saddleback small items, but I have always wanted the Classic Utility Briefcase. I feel it would help me be more productive just looking at it while contemplating life and trying to write.
The Classic Briefcase. I would have all of my work ‘stuff’ tucked in there.
Perfect for travel!
Beautiful bags. I would choose the squared backpack an put my cycling gear, tolls, extra shoes and shirt and a few beers. Maybe a tablet or laptop occasionally too.
Classic briefcase. I ride a motorcycle with a messenger across my body getting to work and have been looking for a dependable leather option. iPad, Lenovo X1 Carbon, Misc tech gadgets, books etc.
Squared Backpack with the Tobacco, would definitely put all my EDC items in there
I would love to own the classic briefcase. This would mainly be used for work and travel and would allow me to finally get rid of this backpack I have been trying to make work for far too long! Laptop, electronic gear, documents… All will fit nicely in this briefcase.
I’d love to be able to add the utility duffel to my admittedly already significant Saddleback collection — looks like it’d make an excellent piece of luggage for slightly longer trips. The smaller carry-on size would probably be perfect for an upcoming trip in the spring!
I would enjoy winning the utility duffel in black.
I would choose the classic briefcase and use it a much cooler diaper bag than the one I have now 🙂 Nice bags!
I love the look of quality leather goods. I would choose the squared backpack. That would be a lifetime of trips!
That Squared Backpack is just calling my name!
https://twitter.com/Next_Jen/status/440882817351045120
I would have to go with the classic briefcase. It would be perfect for the trips between offices to hold all the papers and forms oil usually accumulate during the day. Also, can fit my laptop and tablet along with all the miscellaneous junk I carry with me day to day.
The Squared Backpack is kinda different… different and well made equals WINNER
I would choose the Classic Briefcase. I’d carry just about everything in it: work papers, laptop, camera, ipad, sketchbook, lunch (in a well-sealed bag!), and if I can find one, perhaps a small kitchen sink.
I love them all !!! The square backpack would be my choice!!! Love! Love these bags !
I’d probably pick the Squared Backpack – it would be great to carry to/from work, with my laptop and EDC inside!
I would love the utility as a business and weekender bag perfect for all my gadgets and a change of clothes!
https://twitter.com/dlanders13/status/440886992797048832
I forgot to add I would carry my other leather things from saddleback! I need a good backpack to carry my journal, Bible and various other items I need every day. Would look so sweet on my back! This grandma wants that square backpack! I am in Florida and don’t have my laptop with me so squinting writing this post as I love Saddleback leathers!!!!!
Blessings
Brenda
I’m a big fan of that briefcase, although the backpack is nice. I still think the briefcase would get more use though for me.
Utility duffle! it is the perfect bag to put in the back of my Mustang to hold gear!
Were I so fortunate as to win, I’d choose the Squared Backpack, this bag would accommodate my daily carry quite well and bring a rugged elegance to my fair. I typically carry my Thinkpad, iPad, and my portfolio as the big volume items. Along with those mainstays, I carry an assortment of pens/styli, a laptop battery, a DVD drive, and external HD, USB drives, and many cables, adapters, and etc. I also carry a couple of screwdrivers with an array of torx, Phillips, and flathead attachments.
Also, tweeted this out
https://twitter.com/Hokie_x3_Hi/status/440888848151638016
Tough call, but I’d go with a medium black briefcase. The backpack is a close second, though!
I’d go for the Utility duffel. Between the multiple ways of carrying it and my obsession with never ever checking luggage unless I have to, that looks like the perfect bag for conferences.
I would choose the Squared Backpack as I travel extensively for business. Having such a durable and functional backpack would allow me to carry my “office” with me wherever my work takes me. I would be able to take my laptop, iPad, folio, files, and all of the supporting technology and tools necessary to help me make the world a better place one client conversation at a time. The good looks of the backpack would help start conversations along the way, allowing me to tell the stories of both Saddleback Leather and The Gadgeteer.
Classic Briefcase! I got to ogle one my seatmate had on a flight a year ago, and thought that it was a wonderful piece of gear.
https://twitter.com/ajbarr/status/440882627403214848
Definitely a Large Dark Coffee Brown Classic Briefcase. It would be perfect for carrying all my work supplies.
I’d go with the classic briefcase, and would carry my usual things: iPad, wallet, flashlights/multitools, paper, pens, chargers, and a few course books for my classes.
If I were lucky enough to be picked, I would pick the medium/brown briefcase.
I’d choose the classic briefcase for the stuff I need at work, iPad, phone and whatever I have to carry around.
I’d love the backpack in tobacco – would be great for hands-free hauling of dog training equipment when I go to trials!
https://mobile.twitter.com/_frzl_/status/440897395585712128?screen_name=_frzl_
I have several Saddleback Leather Company products and they are all of excellent quality and are hard wearing.
I am in need of a new duffle, so the medium duffle in Dark Coffee Brown would be my choice.
I would choose the duffel. I recently started traveling for my job and found that I don’t have a good duffel I can carryon. This would allow me to bring some of the extra color management equipment I need for my job in a classy and classic duffel
I would choose the squared backpack and use it for my photography equipment and tablet..
I would choose the backpack. And I would load it with all my fuji xpro1 and lenses, and an ipad air for good measure.
I would choose the Squared Backpack Style. This would work nicely for quick bike trip to work and between work building trips. It’s very practical and stylish.
Having fallen in love with my Saddleback mini iPad case, I have lusted for more quality leather products from Saddleback.
Forgot to mention squared backpack is my choice.
All three are awesome. Choosing one, I would like the Utility Duffel. I would carry my tablet, camera and rare coins with me when working. After work, I would carry everyday stuff and have people call me Doctor.
https://twitter.com/LeeTosaki/status/440916361141686272
I would choose the Classic Briefcase in size Medium, Tobacco. I love bags of all types, but I have a special affinity for attache and messenger bags. I tend to carry a book, a camera and a magazine or two wherever I go, but I also carry a laptop back and forth between home and work and am occasionally on the road for a week at a time.
I would select the classic briefcase; it would be a great carry for my consulting business.
I would probably go for the Utility Duffel for the my travel gear and pair it up with my Tom Bhin packing cubes.
I got a Bugatti small duffel bag as a gift and it’s very nice (and rather pricey), but you can tell the quality is lacking compared to what Saddleback produce with the thick leather, minimal number of seams and leather pieces.
I have a Saddleback ID Wallet and the quality is amazing.
https://twitter.com/BGreene9369/status/440918875492732928
OH be still my heart… I am in love/lust with these bags! I can almost smell that yummy leather. I especially LOVE the classic briefcase. I would love to use it as an extremely cool mama/camera bag! Thank you so much for the chance!
I think I’d like the classic brief case, I’ll be retiring soon so most likely use for travel gear as a carry-on.
Tweet…tweet!
https://twitter.com/happyjaxmomma/status/440920922644414464
I would love to win the squared backpack. I would carry my macbook, nexus 7, and other random things that accumulate within one’s backpack. I would also take this with on my trip to mexico.
I’d choose an XL Classic Briefcase in Carbon and use it as my go to bag when I travel the globe. I’d put my laptop, change of clothes and camera gear into it.
I have a few Saddleback Leather products. They are ridiculous. Ridiculously overbuilt, awesome and long-lasting. I have a feeling that my kids WILL be fighting over them when I’m gone.
I always wanted a SBL duffle bag – that would be my choice and it would be in dark coffee brown, just like my other stuff.
I’d take the Utility duffel. It would work well as a carry-on bag.
I’d pick the Utility Duffle in Tobacco and fill it with my clothes for weekend adventures. Looks like it would make a great carry on bag.

Thanks!
I would love the Utility Duffel in Tobacco brown. I’d likely use it as an overnight/weekend bag for clothes and toiletries, especially when flying somewhere briefly. I love that the medium works as a carry-on. I could also see my wife and I carrying photography equipment with it when we travel!

I would definitely go with the classic briefcase – all the better for work and play!
https://twitter.com/HSessoms/status/440926130292666370
I would choose the Utility Duffel.
I would stuff it full of clothes and tools needed during my travels. The size seems to be just about perfect for those week long trips.
I would totally pick up a Large dark coffee classic briefcase. I would carry The Count of Monte Cristo, Les Miserables, My Bible, My journals (wrapped lovingly in my handmade journal bandolier), my pens to help document my adventures, my laptop and cables, my Kleen Kanteen water bottle, and my jacket.
I would like the classic briefcase, I would probably put my iPad, keys, saddleback wallet, and leatherman in there, plus a diaper or two, snacks, and some toys for my toddler.

Absolutely no doubt about it, the Squared backback in dark coffee brown. I’ve been eyeing it for years to carry my MacBook Air, a couple iPads, and a Big Jambox all around the country–and, as of this fall to Thailand as well. I’m a SL DCB addict (just ask my wife), but I prefer to look at it as investing in my kids’ futures…since they WILL fight over it all when I’m dead.
I would go with the briefcase because it’s a classic
I’d pick the Large Classic Briefcase in Dark Coffee Brown. I’m a student so laptop, books, etc… Plus I’m a husband and daddy so there will probably be some Batman toys in the mix.
https://twitter.com/jaredjohnson41/status/440923928655978496
Here’s my tweet.
I’d take the duffel, and I’d load it up w/ my gear when I travel
Wow, I remember reading your 2007 review of the Classic Briefcase when I was researching before I invested my Large Dark Coffee Brown. Love that bag.
I’d go with the Squared Backpack in Dark Coffee Brown. Would split time as a commuting back (laptop, gadget/cable holder, lunch) and photo bag (2 bodies, lenses, flashes, etc.)
I would like to win the Utility Duffel. I would use it with some inserts and carry a 4×5 pinhole camera setup in it (film holders, tiny tripod, notebook, meter, a book for imagination… ).
I’d love a large briefcase, big enough to hold my 17″ laptop because nothing says kick-ass professional like one of Dave’s briefcases.
Classic Briefcase. I’m finishing grad school, and need a professional case like this! I’d carry my Macbook Pro 13″, iPhone 5s, a portfolio for writing and the like, power cords, and my everyday carry bag made by Timbuk2 with all the gadgets you’ve made me crave over the years.
I would pick the classic briefcase and fill it with my laptop and other everyday carry items. I love the look of heavy duty saddle leather.
Utility Duffel FTW! I travel a lot, and it looks like it would make a great companion
I love the utility duffel! Definitely would use it for short trips!
For me it would be the squared backpack in tobacco. It would be carrying laptop, tablet, books, snacks, trusty leatheman and whatever else I need that particular day. Sure hope I win!!
http://wp.me/p3LRkH-DUe
I would like the Squared Backpack in Chestnut to carry my computer and notebooks to work each day.
https://twitter.com/droverdude/status/440936220131340288
Wow the classic brief! Small electronics, everyday stuff.
I have the Saddleback Leather classic briefcase and it is because of a review on The Gadgeteer several years that piqued my interest. Since then I have purchased a few of the smaller accessories which I use daily. The duffel in Chestnut would be a nice addition and would be perfect for my carry-on luggage (I don’t check anything) in my international travels for business. This would also make a great 50th birthday present as I am reaching that milestone the day your contest ends. As a side benefit, they do attract attention from those who appreciate quality.
https://twitter.com/gregmays/status/440937968690548736
This contest could not come at a better time with my Graduation around the corner (May, 3). As a Business Management Major, a need for a quality briefcase is extremely important. If I was to win, I would choose the large briefcase in Dark Coffee. This bag would be my daily carry for work, it would hold my laptop and all necessary tools needed for my IT System position. This includes a MaxPedition Beefy pocket organizer packed with Zip Ties, Channel Locks, Leatherman Multi-tool, flashlights, a lighter and networking equipment to get me through a pinch. This briefcase would ultimately be my go to bag for my fishing and hunting trips across the Southern United States. I would accompany me to the annual dove hunts in Abilene, Texas, the cold trips to Stuttgart, Arkansas for some late season duck hunting and the Spring trips to Lake Fork for spawning Largemouth Bass. This work of art would get the scars and scratches one of this quality deserves. My wish is to have a tale to tell for each one of those scars and scratches as I carry it into my office during the work week. This bag would lead a double life as a IT Professional in a Corporate work environment, and a outdoorsman’s pack that carry’s fishing gear, ammo, and a outdoor journal capable of holding each trips memories and stories for years to come.
The squared backpack would be perfect for carrying around a change of clothes and extra buy-ins for poker games.
https://twitter.com/rclinetx/status/440938600356909056
I would love to have the classic briefcase, which I will carry my laptop and any paperwork as I go to work every day.
Classy !!!
Classic Briefcase in medium would be filled with my work stuff and would make my co-workers so envious.
The Utility Duffel is the one for me! 🙂 Cant’ afford a nice bag like this, so I buy then at the local thrift store until they break and then I sew them back together until they are more sewing than bag and then donate them back and buy another one. This bag would be awesome.
Things that go into the bag:
1. My homemade utility knife (made it from an old oyster knife I found in the thrift store).
2. Short spoon and Fork (a spoon and fork with the handle sawed off).
3. Clothes for when I stay over places.
4. My Idea / Sketch book.
5. My computer & cables (A gen 1 macbook air I got as a hand me down from a friend).
6. Napkins.
7. Ketchup packets.
8. Food.
9. Respect.

I would love to win the utility duffel. Quickly starting to realize that a backpack for all travels (business and pleasure) may not be the best for a young professional anymore.
I would choose the utility duffel, as I am a long haul truck driver in Australia it would be ideal to take with me in the truck to hold all my clothes etc. Would need to take a beating!!
https://twitter.com/Difabs/status/440944160951246848
I would choose the medium classic briefcase in tobacco. I am currently a student so I would carry a laptop, books, etc. But I would also use the briefcase when I travel.

https://twitter.com/jarrin_brister/status/440945273729454080
I would choose the large Utility Duffel in tobacco or chestnut. I’ve had the slim briefcase for a year and a half, and it is amazing!
Oh how I would love the squares backpack to fill up with medical books, my stethoscope and likely a snack or two whilst studying. It’s hard enough to try and look stylish in green scrubs, but this would help a LOT!
Ohhhh, really difficult choice — duffel – backpack – duffle – backpack……
And, should I win the choice would be, the duffle.
I would have to go for the Classic Briefcase. I don’t mind toting things by a handle.
As to what’s inside… whatever I need at the time. The way my life runs today, I don’t have any kind of EDC other than my pocket contents. What I need right then and there I stuff into my range bag, my mini messenger bag, my Tom Bihn or variety of other totes. Heck, if I had a bag that good lookin’, I’d carry it empty!
Classic Briefcase all the way. All are certainly works of art but the daily usage bag would be the briefcase.
Oh that’s a toughie. But I haven’t had a backpack for a while, and I want to start riding my bike to work, so I’d pick the backpack and would use it to carry my daily stuff – wallet, tablet, phone, etc.
https://twitter.com/mbrodd/status/440951391721250817
If I’m lucky enough to win, I’d like the Utility Duffel….and will carry numerous utilitarian items in it! Kidding….most likely clothes for a weekend away, things like that. Good luck to all!

https://twitter.com/OilCountry_Joe/status/440939039940558848
Thanks, and good luck!
I would choose the Utility Duffel (large, chestnut) to carry all the stuff I travel with. Clothes, books, cables … far too many things!
(I have a Saddleback Leather briefcase, and I can recommend it to anyone interested. In an age where so many things are made cheaply and designed for immediate obsolescence, it is really nice to find high quality products that are built to last.)
I would choose the Classic Briefcase and fill it with my laptop, iPad, headphones and files.
If I win, I would chose the Classic Briefcase and keep my iPad, morining newspaper and all of my business papers in it.
Hello, I would get the Squared Backpack and use it as a camera bag. Thanks for a great giveaway!
I tweeted on Twitter here:
https://twitter.com/trishden/status/440961113660747777
Thanks! @trishden
I’d choose the Classic Briefcase and use it basically just as that: hold my laptop/iPad, a book or two, whatever supplies I need. It’d probably become a go-to carry-on choice for flights.
Hands down I would choose the Classic Briefcase. It’d be my primary work bag for my laptop and related files I need.

If I win, I would choose the large Classic Briefcase in Tobacco color! I love this bag!!
I have always wanted a bag to carry back and forth to work every day. So inside would be my lunch, hat and gloves, water bottle and my iPad.
I would choose a coffee classic briefcase to carry my MBA, Ipad Mini, Livescribe 3, charging cables, and headphones.

I would love the squared back pack!!!!! I could carry everything I need on a daily basis in that bag!
If I win I would choose the classic briefcase, and stuff my other cases inside of it, because that’s the only way they would ever leave the house again…
Thank you for offering such a lovely and generous giveaway. I would choose the Utility Duffle. It would serve as a travel bag for both myself and my mister. I’m not sure what he would carry in it, but I would pack it full of books, beauty products, and snacks. Priorities, people!
Duffel bag, and I will travel extensively with it!
https://twitter.com/normawatson/status/440971768845447168
I would choose the briefcase, because that is a brillant companion for my work every day and my 15″ Monster Laptop, which I have to use at work.
These bags look awesome. If I won, I’d choose the utility duffle. I’d use it to hold my clothes, toiletries, and other gear on overnight or weekend trips. Since a carry-on size is available, I’d also use it on longer trips as my carry-on bag on planes to hold electronics I wouldn’t trust to be kept safe in a checked bag.
I would chose the Classic Briefcase to carry my gadgets every day.

The Squared Backpack. I’d love carrying my stuff around in that everyday!
https://twitter.com/pescokid/status/440985081113354240
I’d give the briefcase a very happy home and would be the envy of the staff room as I pulled marking and planning out.
briefcase!
I think my laptop, notes, my gerber applegate and coffee will fit nicely.
I’ll also have a presentable pack to use for internship interviews!
The squared backpack for my daily commute stuff (Laptop/Lunch/Books/Tablet etc).
Oh where to begin — as a man of many hats, I think the utility duffel probably suits my needs in a unique fashion. I mean look at that thing, its sexy and useful – its like James Bond and Indiana Jones had a lovechild, and for some reason, that lovechild has a tremendous taste in luggage.
But seriously, back to the bag. What would I put in it? That’s a personal question, but let me lay out a few ideas:
– 3 speedos and 4 gold chains, in case i want to change into sexy mister-t randomly on a beach while traveling
– a small bag of goat feed (you never know when you will need it)
– a fun noodle, cut into smaller fun noodles… you know, for more noodle fun
– 17 oranges. enough said.
All that for when I was just lounging around. I guess if I was going on a date, I might add a couple of batting gloves, an eye patch and a copy of nickle backs last album (chicks love that stuff).
Anyway, thanks for the time. Saddleback up!
Follow up, I tweeted 😉
https://twitter.com/theferf/status/440993174862168064
I’d probably chose the Classic Briefcase and carry my lappy with me every day. I’d look great and probably outlast me.
I have few Saddleback Leather Company products and they are all very good. I am in need of a new duffle, so the medium duffle in Chestnut would be my choice. This would allow me to bring cloths and electronics I need for my travelling needs.
Classic briefcase all the way since I am a classy kind of guy. Thank you SO much for the amazing giveaway.
I’d pick the Classic Briefcase and carry everything I need for my commute, including: Kindle, Chapstick, water bottle, notepad, magazines…
Classic briefcase for me.
https://twitter.com/tkim1000/status/440996254592421888
I love Saddleback Leather products. Durable…actually, indestructible would be more appropriate a term. The Squared Backpack would be PERFECT for my photography needs…a tough-as-nails carry option for my gear that I can place my Billingham insert into for toting my big, bad dSLR and associated gear around from place to place. And look good doing it, too!
https://twitter.com/MarkRosengarten/status/440999201187454977
I would choose the Classic Briefcase as it would make the perfect every day cary for my work as a Field Engineer.
I would love a large utility duffel in dark coffee brown. In it I would carry everything that does not fit in my recently purchased dark coffee brown squared backpack. Great stuff!
I have a very old and tired laptop case so the Classic Briefcase would be perfect. Apart from my laptop it looks like I will have plenty of room for my Surface RT, phone and my files! (Plus all the other bits and pieces I always seem to carry with me!
Win an awesome leather bag from Saddleback Leather Company and The Gadgeteer! http://wp.me/p3LRkH-DUe
Thanks for the generous giveaway! I would like to be entered for a classic briefcase. I drive all over Houston for my job and could certainly use a nice briefcase to carry my electronics and personal effects.
I would choose a medium classic briefcase in tobacco. I would use this bag solely to carry my tea and tea accessories to and from work. While home my tea would stay inside, displayed in my kitchen in the splendor of it’s leather home for all to see and love. And awe will be had by all. And I will live happily ever after.
https://twitter.com/speedymcbean2/status/441013587319193600

Which bag?:
the Classic Briefcase
What would I pack?:
My hopes and dreams!
It’s so hard to choose, but the squared backpack in leather would be the perfect backpack for traveling in Europe. I would carry my iPad Mini, camera, sketchbook, conte crayon and Burt’s Bees. Love!
Just tweeted to earn a second entry! https://twitter.com/kterrell/status/441025771302170624
Definitely the classic briefcase. It’s a classic!
I’m a dark coffee brown guy and am in need of the duffle for weekend excursions with my wife!
I would most definitely choose the Utility Duffel in tobacco. The use of this bag would be for the storage and care of my double edged razor and accessories.
I would choose a medium classic briefcase in tobacco. Then I would give it to Speedy McBean so he could carry his tea to and from work, and share it with his incredible coworkers. You see Speedy is obsessed with Saddleback leather, and I am obsessed with Speedy’s tea. If I won the bag and gave it to him, he would owe me forever, and I’d let him pay me forever in silver needles and 20 year old pu erh. It’s a win/win.
I would love to have a classic briefcase. Need a new work bag to be used for all my daily gear as well as weekend bag for adventures with the family.

A Squared Backpack
Used for work and iPad
Style and long lasting.
(a Saddleback haiku).
Classic, to carry my lunch to work
I would pick the classic briefcase. I have lusted after a Saddleback Leather product ever since first seeing them on the Gadgeteer years ago. I would make sure my briefcase contained my laptop, my professional journals, two or three fountain pens and at least two fountain pen friendly note pads, like the Rhodia or Clairefontaine.
With this packet in hand, my day would be complete, well equipped and stylish.
Just tweeted to earn a second entry! https://twitter.com/kterrell/status/441025771302170624
I would go for the Squared Backpack in tobacco to carry my laptop and other every day work stuff.
Classic briefcase! Well, because it looks classy.
Utility Duffle – ideally, the medium in Chestnut. It would be my bag for gym things – and my carryon for travel.
While I really like the Utility style, I could get a bunch of my gadgets in the Square. I think I would go with the Square.
I would choose the classic briefcase. I’m a professional clothier. I would carry my swatches in the bag. I cater to the who’s who. The bag would definitely be in the “spot light” with the right audience. This would be great exposure for Saddleback!!
I’m about ready to graduate college here so I’d go with the Classic Briefcase. I would keep my laptop, tablet, and a binder full of resumes and business cards as I start my job hunt.
https://twitter.com/neperry92/status/441058063668109312
I’ve longed for a Saddleback bag since I first saw one of your reviews years ago. Every couple months or so I hit ebay in the vain hope that a bag might have gone up for sale for a deal.
I would definitely go for the briefcase since your review shows that my MBP will fit….
Love the site…
I would love the classic briefcase in dark coffee brown and I would carry all my electronic gadgets and what nots

Here’s my tweet:
https://twitter.com/LindaHP/status/441088049858879488
As full time RVers, my wife and I do a lot of traveling. The Squared Backpack would sure make a great “Bailout Bag” for us. Thanks for the chance to win.
I would love the Classic Briefcase. I have a saddleback wallet and belt. They are awesome, I love the story about Blue. I would use the bag for work on a daily basis carrying around my macbook pro and other misc things.
I would choose the large Classic Briefcase in dark coffee brown. It will hold my daily used items like a laptop, some moleskines and pencils.
My boyfriend’s duffle has worn out and he is in need of another. He travels about once a month to visit family & friends in his hometown. I would love to surprise him with this wonderful looking and durable item for his next trip.
I would choose the utility duffel in carbon to fulfill my packing dreams. Mostly for those short business trips as a carry all, or for general travel to the cabin, etc. Love this! Thanks for the contest.
Here’s my tweet link: http://twitter.com/Furdog_08/status/441119834302976000
I would choose the classic briefcase in dark coffee brown and carry my ponderous collection of medical texts and files I cart around daily.
The utility duffel for sure! I’ve been looking for a sturdy carry on bag for my travels, and the medium would be great! Hard part would be choosing a color, but I would probably have to go with the new tobacco!
Would be the classic brief case for me. Having carried the same old messenger bag to work everyday for the past 8 years or so it’s certainly looking a bit worse for wear. I would carry my note 3, ipad air and a tasty sandwich!
It’s a toss up between the awesome classic briefcase and the cool backpack. For my needs I’d probably take the classic briefcase. You can’t beat Saddleback leather for a great quality product. I would carry everything I could fit in it 🙂 Thanks.
If I was luck enough to win I’d choose the Classic Briefcase. But if I win I would give it to my brother! He’ll use it to carry his laptop and all his work papers rather than in the old, falling apart bag he has now. Really, the Classic Briefcase has Joe’s name all over it! And if I don’t win, one day I’ll hopefully be able to buy it for him!
https://twitter.com/gailrusso/status/441178641892798464
I would choose the Classic Briefcase.
I’d take the Squared Backpack. Would carry my Dell Venue 8 Pro, Sony Camera, all assorted cables and chargers as well as whatever documents were needed for the trip. You can never have too much stuff! Dave
Awesome giveaway! My husband has a briefcase already which he loves so I would go for the utility duffel. It would be a great companion for all the travelling I do to keep my laptop, journal, clothes, camera etc. I’m sure it will fit some of the souvenirs that I like to bring back.
I really like these bags. I would love to have the Squared Backpack.
Very classy!!!

The classic briefcase so I can get the Death Star plans to Obiwan Kenobi.
“This isn’t the briefcase you’re looking for.”
“This isn’t the briefcase we’re looking for.”
“Nothing to see here.”
“Nothing to see here.”

Dark coffee utility duffel (large) for carrying clothes and other items on long trips. That color would let it match my other saddleback items (belt and ipad case)

Medium classic briefcase in tobacco please!
https://twitter.com/Brotrevor7/status/441242609994850304
Think I’d go with the classic briefcase, preferrably in carbon.
If I won the contest I would definitely appreciate the medium briefcase in tobacco brown. I live in NYC and going to work and school in style would be the name of the game with a bag like that. I would use it to carry my books and notebooks so I am prepared for anything in style.
I’d choose the utility duffel and I’d use it as my carry on luggage. It would be stuffed with my normal travel clothes, gadgets and supporting infrastructure for gadgets (chargers etc.). It would also occasionally be used as one bad ass gym bag.
I would get the squared backpack to more easily carry all my teaching gear here in Changsha, China. I have to carry a few hundred sheets of paper across town on a bus and it is gets heavy and crowded! Also will come in handy when taking the kids around traveling, and as a carry on when going back stateside.
Here is my tweet! If I couldn’t get the squared backpack, I would get the duffel for traveling. We carry a lot of weird stuff taking our three kids around china, and it would sure be helpful!

The Classic or The Squared… both are terrific… either one I could put to good use. Thanks for the chance to Win!
If I won I would choose the Utility Duffel and carry my camera equipment in it.
I would definitely go for the Classic Briefcase. Daily carry is always a camera, sketchbook, ipad mini, and some cables. Sometimes a Macbook Air too.
It would be nice to not have to keep reloading the Dave’s Deals page on the Saddleback website looking at bags I can’t afford! 😉
If I won I would choose the Classic Briefcase in Dark Coffee Brown! Great bag for work and personal travel!

That Utility Duffel is what I want. That looks like it would make the ultimate photo gear bag for my camera and lenses.
If I am chosen as winner of the give away, I will pick the squared pack in dark coffee. I volunteer English Second Language and I will carry my MacBook in it. It is so fashionable that I will be asked many times who the manufacturer is and can proudly say it a Saddleback Leather Co. pack and is the best!!
I’d choose the squared backpack, and I’d put almost everything I need to at work in it. Netbook, Lunch, spyderco UKPK and any other bits and bobs.
I could really use the Classic Briefcase, my old messenger bag is ready to give it up.
Squared Backpack in Tobacco. I’d carry that ever valuable bottle of water and dry clothes while riding my motorcycle. My kool factor would escalate.

I’d love the briefcase to carry my charts to the hospital.
I love the look of the classic briefcase in tobacco, I am an educator so I would carry books, papers and my ipad in my briefcase.
Definitely the classic briefcase to carry as many sketchbooks and Moleskine journals I can manage!
If I won, I would choose the large briefcase in DCB and use it to carry my laptop and lunch to my new job that I just started since graduating college this past January. Thanks for the contest!
I’d love to win the classic briefcase, because its–wait for it–classic! Really would class up my work laptop case, since I’m moving into a position from working tech in a dungeon to meeting real live people who make decisions about technology at a university 🙂

How to choose … what a Web site, what products … the Squared Backpack in Dark Coffee Brown. Thank you.

I would choose the Classic Briefcase. There is something classic and vintage looking about it.
As four what I would put in it…iPad Air, current books I’m reading for my Master’s Degree, Camera (Yes, I still carry one of these. Don’t judge.), check books, business card case, cloudFTP, and anything else I might need on the adventure of life.

I’d choose the Utility Duffel, probably in tobacco, for weekend getaways — clothes, books, and toiletries.
I’d choose the backpack. It would become my everyday “purse” as well as computer/iPad case.
All of your bags are very nice. But if i had a choice it would be a sleeve. Now i store more on my laptop and have less paper. Wireless, wi-fi things of the new nature. If I need top print I can send to printer. It is less bulk. And it dress well. Less room need than a bag or should I say a manbag. When you walk in a room they see you got it together. Not seeking for organizing at time of meeting.
I would choose the Squared Backpack so I could carry my laptop and food every day.
I would choose the Squared Backpack in the color Tobacco. This would be perfect to put my camera, cell phone and wallet in to keep my pockets and hands free while on adventures with my family.

From the Saddleback Leather Company, I would choose the Squared Backpack. It’s spacious enough to become my everyday go-to bag for all my needs; it’s separate comparments and pockets will keep me organized and give me quick access to my things when I’m traveling by train, plane, or automobile; and it’s padding will protect my electronics. Specifically, I would carry my laptop, smartphone, travel documents, notebook, writing utensils, skincare products, various kid items, jacket/sweater, and food in it – pretty much my basic life necessities. Thanks for the opportunity to win!
Definitely the classic briefcase for me. Notes, laptop, EDC stuff, keys, lights and so much more!

I would like the utility duffel bag if I won. I travel quite a bit, and love the quality of their bags. I would use it for my weekly travel needs. Duffels are so much easier to put into overhead luggage compartments.
I travel weekly with the following
Clothes (of course)
Apple Airport Express
Brookstone Mini Projector
iPad
Various Cables and chargers
Workout gear
This bag would get A LOT of use

I would use the Briefcase, in it I would carry my IPAD 4th gen, and my Galaxy note 10.1 tablet. The briefcase would also help me carry my other minutia around between my two offices.
Great – a chance to win the Backpack (squared coffee brown) to put computer, note pads, and lunch!
I think I’d go with the classic briefcase. It’s a cool looking briefcase. You could wear like a back pack if I decided to ride my motorcycle to work on nice days. This would replace my plainjane nylon backpack that has seen better days. Carry a Dell laptop, my Kindle, an iPhone, miscellaneous papers and accessories and, maybe, my lunch.

I’d love to have the Classic Briefcase – as my trusty Ally Cappalino canvas messenger back, is giving up the ghost.
I love the squared backpack. I got a camera for Christmas but haven’t gotten a bag for it so I’d use it for that. Thanks!! :))

The briefcase – I would give to my daughter for her school books now and then for her future career.
If my name is chosen, I’d like the Squared Backpack in dark brown as a surprise gift for my husband. We travel quite a bit and it would be perfect for him to use as his carryon loaded with the essentials for overseas trips.
I would go with the brief case. NICE!
The Utility Duffel. I Would use it as a “Range Bag” for when I take my sons to the firing range.

The Classic Briefcase for sure. This briefcase looks tough. I have a deerskin bag for my laptop while it is soft and luxurious it is showing some wear. I want to try something tougher like this bag.
I would go for a large briefcase– tough choice, but I have to take the one I would use every day!

I’d definitely choose the classic briefcase (in the chestnut if I have the choice)!

I’d go for the classic briefcase. I already have a saddleback wallet, so I’d match the colour to that. It would replace my work satchel so that I could enjoy it every day!
I’ll take the backpack to carry my audio gear and tablet
Utility Duffel … to carry travel memories galore.

If I won I’d choose a medium Classic Briefcase in Chestnut to carry schoolwork and for travel.
The Dark Coffee Brown Squared Backpack for sure would be the one I would pick! I would keep my Macbook Pro in there, various cables and adapters, and plenty of books for reading and for my job!

I would love the classic briefcase. Have you guys seen the “How to knock off a Saddleback bag” by Saddleback? Genious
I would choose the classic briefcase. This would be perfect for carrying all of my paperwork around with me. I work for a company that works with mentally challenged individuals and the paperwork is tiresome.
I’d have to go with the large classic briefcase for an iPad, various odds and ends, a reusable shopping bag that’s folded up, a Kindle or a Kobo reader, a battery pack, and a few extra bits. A good looking, solid bag is just what the doctor ordered.
I would go for the squared backpack, and I would carry game prototypes and manuscripts I’m working on, plus a laptop with websites I’m designing. Mobile office, in leather!
Large classic for sure.
I’d carry all the bits and pieces that travel with me everyday.
Fingers crosses.
PS. Dark coffee. 🙂
I’ve been drooling over the large classic briefcase in Dark Coffee Brown for weeks now, so I would absolutely plump for that! I would use it everyday, be it as my work bag for all my books/files/iPad or for travel, photography and everyday adventures.
Coming from the UK, this is a really great opportunity for me to become part of the Saddleback family, so thank you for the chance!
I have also tweeted here, thank you!: https://twitter.com/MrEddieB/status/441862289747357696
The classic briefcase (as shown) to carry my laptop, tablet and other work related books / documents to work as a pilot.
Kick ass, all business looking bag that can take a beating!
I would choose the classic briefcase to carry everything my wife want to take with her. (And also my iPhone, iPad and driving license)
The squared backpack. I would use this to carry my everyday extras: pencil and pen cases, back-up battery charger, sunglasses, etc.
Thanks for the opportunity!
Its a tough choice, but I’d choose the classic briefcase to carry my laptop and other work gear.
I would definitely select the classic briefcase and use it as my work bag. I would be filled with work papers, fountain pens, and android devices.
i’ll go with the classic briefcase to replace my free [laptop maker] backpack that i’m using for work since it’s the most convenient (even if it isn’t quite the most stylish).
I’d choose the utility duffel, Size: Large, Color: Chestnut.
I’d carry clothes in it.
I like the square backpack because it looks like it will hold my 11″ MacBook Air, my iPad Air, the power cords, AND all my purse stuff with room to spare.
I’d go with the squared backpack and gift it to my son. I’m guessing he would carry his laptop and various college junk in it.
I’m not that generous passing it on. Already have an XL briefcase, L thin briefcase, 3 messenger bags, L satchel, and L front pocket backpack. All are truly excellent. So…going with the squared backpack ’cause there’s not one in the family already.
It would be totally cool to get put my MacBook and papers in the brown backpack for school.
I would choose a medium utility duffel in tobacco. This would double as a weekend travel duffel and would be a perfect range bag. Would carry shoes and clothes sometimes….ammo, magazines, eye/ear protection and firearms at others. Love Saddleback products!
The Extra Large Classic Briefcase is indeed, a potential mobile office – great!!!
I would love to win the squared backpack in Carbon Black, if given the choice of colour, and I would use it for school, 2 binders, 1 textbook, 1 MacBook Pro in a bookbook, and a retina iPad mini also in a bookbook
I would choose the briefcase, to carry my ipad, phone, glasses, and lunch to work!
If I had that utility duffle,mid fill it with Twizzlers and set the night on FIRE.

I would be able to carry my laptop, iPad, phone, lunch bag, and personal items all in one bag!!!

The medium classic briefcase is something I’ve wanted for a while. Great giveaway. I’d use it to carry my iPad Air and other equipment when I have presentations to make.
The big or large briefcase looks like it has backpack-like straps. That would work for me in many situations, home or travel. Cross fingers.
I have a co-worker who just bought one of these and you can tell it will last 1000 years and if I live that long, I will pack with all my necessary and unnecessary gear. It’s fit for home and work and it will never go out of style.

if i luckily get picked as a winner for this giveaway, i would choose a chestnut classic briefcase as a prize. i would use it as my everyday bag. i can put my nexus 5, nexus 7, wallet, home keys, tissue, external battery, sandisk clip+ mp3 player, notepad, pens, folder, extra shirt and a mini bluetooth speaker.
I think I would go for the Squared Backpack. It seems as though one would be able to fit more and larger body parts after disassembly. Leather would better contain pesky fluids which tend to just get filtered through the canvas, leaving more dna laced goo. Plus leather is a natural disinfectant. So here’s hopin for the win so I can get busy!
Kinda creeped myself out on this last bit…
I’d love the classic briefcase. Very nostalgic.
I recently invested in a Saddleback Classic Briefcase so I’d have to go for the utility duffel. Look’s like it would make a great overnight bag for family trips.
I would love a large utility duffel in chestnut. I would use it to carry clothing and gear when travelling in northern Quebec.

saddleback leather company briefcase would be sweet…not going to tweet…but would love to win a large brown one…put music stuff.
I would choose the classic briefcase and I’d carry all my folders and notepads to and from work. My dad always used an attache case and as a kid I thought it’d be cool to have an important job and carry a brief case. (I am wiser now!)
I would pick the squared backpack. I would carry my laptop and model making + drafting equipment. I think this leather bag would be a great finishing touch to my architect-y attire. Best of luck to everyone that entered. Cheers!
The extra large Classic briefcase in light tobacco brown. My 15″ laptop would go in the back slot. The iPad would go in the front slot. Cell phone, pens, cables, power supplies and other accessories would go in front slot pockets. My keys would go on the spring clip in between the slots. Cash and important documents like passport. etc. (while traveling) would go under the false bottom. An umbrella would go under the flap straps and I would wear it backpack style.

Classic briefcase for work related materials.
They are all gorgeous, but I would choose the Utility Duffel, and use it for travelling. It should be able to hold clothes, cameras, and misc. electronics.
Definitely the Classic Briefcase! It would be perfect for carrying books, my laptop and other work related materials.
I will choose the squared backpack, and I will probably carry my thinkpad and my Nexus 7 with me daily.

I would love the Utility Duffel.
I use a backpack for my everyday stuff, but sometimes I need the extra room. It would work perfectly for short trips.

The classic briefcase beckons me…
I’d go for: Classic briefcase ,, extra large-light tobacco brown, as it would be nice for outings, media, and meetings.
It all looks wonderful! I really need a sophisticated bag that is functional at the same time. These bags are great fit.
The duffel would be great for desert excursions for photos.
The squared backpack. I would carry my lunch 🙂
I would use the classic briefcase to shuttle my study materials back and forth from my church job and my hospital job.
In my wildest dreams, I would pick the Utility Duffle (light tan). I would use it in my day to day commute. It would be very easy to put all my daily stuff in including my laptop, several phones and chargers, lunch, couple of diapers (Mr. Mom w/newborn) and a change of clothes for him and myself.
I really would love to win this…but I am sure someone will have the best day ever when they read your email stating they are the winner of a fine piece of leather.
Saddleback Leather Company Briefcase, GIVE IT TO ME! I will give it to my girlfriend who right now carries all kinds of stuff around in a backpack… this seems more appropriate to me 🙂
I don’t believe my first entry was submitted because I failed to enter my name. I think the squared backpack would be handy and stylish for hauling supplies back and forth between my home and my kindergarten classroom. It should hold the necessary teaching materials as well as my lunch and a couple water bottles. On weekends and school breaks, it would be super for heavy duty hauling like the family’s sporting gear, gardening tools and gloves for volunteering or perhaps picnic gear, paired with a cooler. I think it’s a great looking bag and appreciate the opportunity to enter!
I would choose the classic briefcase and would carry my work documents in it and be the envy of everyone in my office.

They’re all beautiful, and I’d love any of them, but would prefer that gorgeous briefcase. Thanks for the opportunity.
I’d go for the Squared Backpack in Chestnut. EDC’ing iPad 3, a Filofax, a couple of notebooks, a pen case, whichever book I’m reading, a camera sometimes.
The Backpack looks gorgeous!
Aaand, here is my tweet for the Squared Backpack in Chestnut – https://twitter.com/theMyroslava/status/442141530649018368
Wow it would be a hard choice! Anything from Saddleback would be awesome to own. I would want the briefcase, because it’s what started the amazing business after all! Great product Dave.
I would choose the classic briefcase and would use it when I fly for work. I’m constantly seeking a means to carry my tech yet not be concerned it will fit under the airline seat. I have a backpack, but when I have to travel in business attire it doesn’t match well. Good luck all
I would choose the Utility Duffel and carry my leather working tools. I recently started leatherwork as a hobby and it would be perfect to carry and store my supplies.
I really like the look of the classic briefcase! I’d use it to carry my iPad and phone, as well as just about anything I need – since it looks cool, I’d carry it everywhere.
I would pick the medium Classic Briefcase (in Chestnut if I can!). I just got a new (used) MacBook Pro and need a fitting case for it. I would stow the typical office essentials (when I get that gig.)
And, I tweeted it: https://twitter.com/mstrohb/status/442159218775191552
If I win, I would love the classic briefcase.

I think I’d use it as my everyday office bag.
Classic briefcase has to be my choice. Would use to carry MacBook Air, my iPad mini, cords, both cells, small camera, more camera gear, some notebooks and pens and a couple of pocket knives and mini flashlight.
