For the overnight traveler — or the significant other that always seems to bring half the house with her to work — take a closer look at the Georgia wheeled laptop case by Kipling. Constructed with Kipling’s signature lightweight, water-resistant crinkle nylon, the laptop case features a retractable pull handle and durable skate wheels, providing her with effortless glide around the international terminal. Ample interior and exterior pockets store up to a 15.4-inch laptop, cell phone, PDA, MP3 player, a change of clothes, and of course, you.

She uses a calendar, a date book, and a PDA. She knows just when your mother’s birthday is and bought the gift last month. She’s a 21st century Wonder Woman. Make her smile this Valentine’s Day with a laptop tote that applauds her organizational skills. The McKlein Winnetka leather ladies laptop tote, in smooth white Italian leather with rolled handles and nickel hardware, duly organizes her work life and home life — and keeps her looking as smart as she is. Also available in powder-blue, blush, cranberry, persimmon, pistachio, and black. Fits screens up to 15.4 inches.

Green with Envy: Eco-Friendly Computer Bags and Other Cool Cases

Earth day is almost over, but we’re squeezing in our post on eco-friendly laptop bags. What is eco-friendly? It varies by designer, but it can mean made of recycled materials or even using water-soluable dyes for color.

Greensmart by Shoreline is not just riding a trend. They produce sleeves and bags from recycled plastic bottles. For an interesting twist, re-bagz hand weaves their laptop bags, business card cases, and coin holders from recycled rice bags and juice packs. Every bag is unique since it is impossible to duplicate the exact same production from one bag to the next.

When we first found kailo chic’s laptop sleeves and bags we wondered what makes them eco-friendly? Petroleum based dyes can be damaging to the environment, but kailo chic uses water-based dyes to create their fun color schemes.
