Anyone here know one or more web sites that review laptop cases and other accessories?
I am looking for a laptop case that with the following priorities:
1) Protection - I get around Chicago as a freelancce graphic arts pro, via the CTA (public transit, bus/train) which due to rough driving (sudden & violent stops and starts, overcrowding and pushy people, bags end up bumping into other people and the hard edge seating. I am looking for great padding, maybe an interior hard shell in the pocket area which would be suspended (not touching the bottom or sides, maybe also a removeable sleeve with shoulder strap). The one extreme I'd like to avoid is the completely hardshell type briefcase style...I still want a flexible messenger/folio style...just with tough materials, great padding and laptop pouch suspension to protect my expensive investments.
2) Storage - I need a bag that will accomodate the PB 15" AL, AC adapter, Security cable, CoolPodium, Mouse, iPod, spare battery misc cables, a few blank cds, critical backup cds, digital camera, exterior cell phone pocket, a couple of magazines, keys, business cards. Padding for accessories would be great, but not essential. Smart division of pockets for their purpose would be great and quick access to my PB even better.
3) Comfortable - that would mean lightweight (under 5.25 lbs) with a well padded, maybe stretchy shoulder strap.
4) Cool Looking - So subjective...maybe a choice of colors, but I've successfully dyed bookbags in the past.
Any first hand experiences, especially where mishaps occured and how well it protected your PB or iBook would be appreciated.
Thanks!
