As our devices have shrunk in recent years, so, too, have carrying cases. Sling bags, messenger bags, and even the trusty backpack are slimmer, more focused on those slimmer devices, and more attuned to organization and ease of access, rather than capacity.

I have a confession to make. I’m obsessed with iPad bags. Since I purchased my iPad 2, I’ve been looking for the perfect bag or bags to carry it. Strotter is feeding my obsession with their Platforma bag for the iPad and other tablets. You know what they say: “you can never be too rich

WaterField is one of my favorite companies. I carry their Finn wallet everyday and use their zippered pouches and bags all the time. They make the stuff I’d make for myself if I was a maker. I love the look of their new Outback Solo. It’s sized perfectly for the just announced Apple iPad Air.
