Bags

Do you use a laptop sleeve to protect your laptop when you carry it around or place it in a larger bag? Have you ever considered that the sleeve that you’re using could be holding in heat and slowly damaging your battery? bbp bags have considered this fact and are offering a solution with their new Breathe Sleeve.

Last fall, I reviewed The Ice Red UNI Cargo Laptop Tote Bag. Now, not quite one year later, Ice Red has another laptop tote bag for women that they’ve sent to me to review.

Laptop bags designed specifically for women, were until the last couple of years, somewhat hard to come by. Now they are available in all manner of fabrics, colors and styles. Ice Red is a company that specializes in this field and recently sent me their Shine laptop bag for review.

Incase Neoprene Sleeve and the Thinvelope Leather Slipper Case for the Macbook Air are both very nice cases in their own right. They provide the Macbook Air protection while it travels within their soft interiors, but provide little to no protection while your MBAir is in use. The i-volution Leather Suit for the Macbook Air takes protecting your Air to a whole new level. Vaja has designed the i-volution Leather Suit to be worn all the time…never to be taken off; 24/7 protection.

When I initially saw the Thinvelope Leather Slipper Case, it reminded me of several old college professors who carried their papers around in cases almost identical in style and material. Beyza has done a great job mixing Old World craftsmanship and modern function. The Thinvelope is an excellent means of protecting and transporting your Macbook Air with style.

I have been debating on buying a Macbook Air since they were announced. Fortunately I found a good deal on a barely used one that included the SuperDrive and two cases. One of these slipper cases was the Airmail by manilamac, which I was so impressed with I immediately gave it to my six year old. The other was the Neoprene Sleeve for the Macbook Air by Incase, which I was so taken aback by its simple perfection, in terms of form and function, I decided then and there I was going to do a review on it.

Julie received an e-mail from Tanya Jeffers of Connecting Point Communications. Tanya requested we review Kensington’s Contour Balance Notebook Case, and see how their cases differ from competitors. I was lucky enough to be selected for the testing and review of the case. When I unboxed the case, there was a chain tag with the phrase, “Fits like your favorite pair of shoes.” There was also a sleek figure in high heels above this phrase. I immediately thought, “Yeah, like that is possible for me!” Not only because I wear a size 10 wide shoe, but it is difficult for me to find stylish, comfy shoes. My favorite shoes are tennis shoes, so all I could think was, “Will this bag really be as comfortable as them?” After testing this case, I quickly realized it was not only possible but I could achieve a great fit at an affordable price!
