We have written about Isis Dei’s laptop sleeves before, but by far, they are one of the top sellers for the summer. Coming both in neoprene and memory foam, these sleeves feature everything from funky prints to basic black, in sizes for laptops from 12” to 17”. This designer is one that doesn’t play favorites: the laptop sleeves have styles that work for both guys and gals. Given the focus on budget this back-to-school season, we are seeing some people opt for sleeves so that they can continue to use their existing book bag but carry their laptop in style and safely.

Tucano is like the best friend who starts school with you every year. This Italian collection offers a clean style and is popular with all ages. The Tucano multi-fit laptop backpack not only comes in unique colors like graphite, copper, steel blue, and green (pictured), but it does what its name says. The laptop compartment can be adjusted to fit different sized laptops. This means if you swap different laptops for different purposes (work v. personal, for example), you no longer need two bags. The styling is also sleeker than many backpacks, which gives it a more sophisticated look that goes beyond just a campus.

You know how we Americans find a British accent irresistible? We certainly find these laptop totes from new British label Knomo irresistible, as well. From over the Atlantic, we’ve brought some sleek leather styles for the sophisticate in the cholet laptop tote. Then there are the more playful, candy-colored, una laptop totes that suit spring and summer weather so well with a quilted nylon exterior and leather accents.

Speaking of accents, Knomo’s laptop bags come with so many. Obviously, there is a padded laptop pocket. But, then they feature an abundance of interior pockets and an if lost tag with a unique identifier and an international telephone number. You can actually register your contact info, and if your bag is lost, the finder can call the number given so that the bag can be traced back to you. The una laptop totes even come with a matching cell phone/MP3 player holder.
