The perfect laptop bag - how hard can it be?
Thursday, February 14, 2008 at 09:07PM I have searched for a new laptop bag for a while now. Almost 2 years of periodically searches without me doing any purchases. I can not seem to find a bag I actually want to buy. The selection in Norwegian webshops is tragic. It is Dicota bags all the way - and recent appearances of Golla bags is not an option, since being a metrosexual is soooo 2007. Crumpler is to much "Mac-guy" and not geeky enough for me.
I demand a lot of a bag. It has to not only fit a laptop, but cover all my gadget-carrying needs - and I do carry quite a lot of gadgets with me. It has to be masculine or geeky enough.
Then I recently saw some episodes of the TV series Dexter an immediately noticed his shoulder bag. That is the one for me I thought. A quick google search for "Dexter's bag" later - and I learned the it was an Oakley S.I. Computer Bag. I googled that and got to Oakley's product site only to find out that the product is discontinued.
So I finally found a bag I thought was really cool (and you can remove the additional pockets in the front - Dexter did) - and the product is no longer available. Even ebay.com and ebay.co.uk could not help. And all other google searches led me to "this product is out of stock".
So I am still looking. So if you know a cool looking, favorite shoulder/messenger/laptop-bag, please leave a link as comments to this post.

Hi Eilif! Is a backpack an option? For me, carrying lots of stuff messenger-style got too heavy. Backpacks are more comfortable, albeit perhaps slightly less stylish. My current choice is the SwissGear Neon Backpack. You can find it at Apple Store Norway.
You'll need a separate bag for the long link, though:

Hello Anonymous,
The link to your ID on ebay doesn't work anymore. I can not find your seller ID anymore.
Please contact me again on eilif.kiland@hotmail.com
