Oxio: RetroStriper
 Here is a real vintage treat updated to the 21st century just in time to carry your 15” MacBook Pro. Oxio has this to say about their orange wonder bag: “The Oxio RetroStriper looks like an extra from a 1960s movie which is by no means a bad thing. In fact it represents that cool 60s feeling of being bright, functional and slightly kooky. And it looks great with mini skirts! "
The RetroStriper has the real advantage of giving you a chic, smart look while keeping you at a healthy price point, not to be underestimated these days. With large outer zipped pockets and a removable, striped shoulder strap, the RetroStriper also has an abundance of interior compartments and boasts nice protective padding for your laptop. Highly Recommended.

KaraB: Metro Backpack w/Marcia Floral pattern
 Hitting up a younger crowd with a zanier take on the floral pattern laptop backpack, KaraB scores with a quirky carrying solution for your 15” notebook. With a padded computer compartment that has a zipper closure
along with adjustable shoulder straps, an outside cell phone pocket or umbrella pocket and outside pocket for papers, the Metro backpack is a complete little package.
The front flap is secured with an easy velcro closure which when opened reveals 2 large inside pockets for accessories. The inside key ring and cell phone pocket are a nice feature and the bag is rounded out with 4 little metal feet to protect your precious when its standing and idle. All in all, a good looking little backpack at a low cost for those with sunnier outlooks. Don’t try and be down with this bag around, you won’t get very far.

Pacific Design: Chloe Dao Collection
Even if you’re not a TV junkie, the reality series “Project Runway” in which designers compete to get their designs to the runway without being eliminated is some of the best comedy/drama around. During season 2, a Houston based designer blew the competition away and won with compelling, modern designs. Apparently that was good enough for Pacific Design, who then partnered with her to create an exclusive line of Techie Trendy laptop bags, iPod cases and more. The Mobile Technology Handbag is a sleek achievement of just the perfect size for your iPhone and accessories but also perfect for your big night out.
Tote your mobile and gaming devices in style. Other features include
A secure zipper closure and outside pocket, functional interior with pockets for ID/cards/cash, photos and personal items along with Soft poly-cotton velvet lining.
The Handbag is available at a disarming $24.95, a great value.
We also like the Chloe Dao iPod touch Flip Case – Retro with its Versatile dual design that makes it easy to use with a flip cover or detach for use as an open face case. 24.95
While we’ve not yet reviewed it the Nucleus 15” laptop case, also in this Chloe Dao series looks like a winner at $34.95.
