Last summer I was on a train going down to Washington, and as I was getting off at my destination, the person in front of me was carrying a backpack that caught my eye. It had an unusual shape, was rather refined, and it looked great. I got close enough to see that it was [...]

Up to 35% Off Sale on Select EVA Cases by Cocoon Innovations
The thing about having so many gizmos available to The Average Person nowadays–well, maybe not the thing, but at least one of the things–is that of transportability an haulage. Not only do the devices themselves require carrying around, but also their accoutrements–cables, adapters, mice, track pads, spare batteries, and all the other stuff you’ve learned [...]
STM Cable Wrap Review – Cords Kept Organized and Ready to Go!
If there is one lament I have heard my wife utter again and again in our technology filled house throughout the years, it is not about how everyone is on their devices too much … it is ‘those cords’! And while things have improved with wireless mice, headsets, smaller chargers, micro-USB for many devices and [...]
iSafe Urban Crew Backpack Review – Wired with Protective Lights and a Loud Alarm
In the last few years we have seen reports of violence on college, high school and even grade school campuses. The Virginia Tech and Newtown shootings aren’t necessarily a confirmation of increasing crime on school campuses, but they certainly serve as reminders that we can’t always be with our kids to protect them. While the [...]
Mkeeper Shoulder Bag Gento for iPad 4 / Mini / Tablet
When I got myself an iPad, I quickly acquired a Tom Bihn Ristretto should bag in which to carry it. I love my Tom Bihn bag; it’s got a nice padded place for my pad, lots of pockets, a well-designed strap, and plenty of other accouterments. But as much as I like it, it has [...]

Tom Bihn Introduces the Synapse 25
I love all of my Tom Bihn bags for multiple reasons. From the Aeronaut to the Synapse, they are all high quality bags and each one of them still looks like brand new — even with repeated trips over the years I have owned them. Plus every bag is made right here in the United [...]
Skooba Design “Announces” the Skooba Mac Stack Pack
“It’s way too bulky and heavy to be practical…” “I can’t find where to order it on your site.” “Is there enough space for power adapters and cables?” Those were just a few of the comments Skooba Design got shortly after launching their video for the “Skooba Mac Stack Pack”. It seems people neglected to [...]

Chrome Industries won me over with the Chrome Niko Camera Pack backpack. The pack looks great, is built like a tank and is comfortable to carry for extended periods of time. (Read the review.)

HEX Cabana Sonic Backpack Review – Lets You Carry Your Gear in Style
A few weeks ago we looked at the HEX Cabana Messenger Bag. (Read the review.) It offered an unusual pocket for accessing your iPad on the go, and it mixed purposeful gear transportation with casual style. It was a nice bag that, while not my style, I could see many others enjoy using. (Keep an [...]

HEX Cabana Messenger Bag Review
We’ve looked at a lot of messenger bags over the years but we have never seen one quite like the HEX Cabana Messenger Bag. The HEX Cabana Messenger Bag looks like a simple cloth messenger bag made from a striped cloth that offers interest without overwhelming the eye. It is a simple cloth messenger bag [...]
Chrome Niko Camera Pack Takes Your Gear on the Go
I received a review sample of the Chrome Niko Camera Pack backpack a few weeks ago, andI’ve been using it on and off since them. I loved the fact that the backpack came with a handwritten note that encouraged me to “be hard on the bag”. Always one to take direction well (okay not really) [...]
Spigen SGP Coated Backpack Video Review
While visiting with Spigen SGP during CES 2013, their Coated Backpack caught my eye. We’ve reviewed — and been impressed by — cases and screen protectors from Spigen SGP, but we had not previously encountered any of their larger offerings. They were kind enough to hand me one of the backpacks on the spot, and [...]
