I used to carry tools around for a living. A good tool bag was critical. I ended up with a variety of boxes with wheels on them just to lug them around town. I don’t do that anymore, but since I rent and don’t live in a house, space is at a premium. Maybe what

Years ago, when the iPad first was released, I reviewed the Incase Travel Kit Plus for iPad and found it was perfect for carrying the iPad, Apple Bluetooth keyboard, cables and chargers, and the included stand. Well, perfect if it only had a shoulder strap, in my opinion. Incase has updated the iPad travel kit

I often think that I should have been born in an earlier time. Back when the world was a simpler place, a person’s word/handshake was their bond, people made things with their hands, doors were left unlocked etc. The Colonel Littleton gear I have had the fortune to review is truly the embodiment of those
