Can’t decide what to give this Christmas? Are you tired of receiving undergarments or neckties? Well, so are your friends and relatives. And given the amount of time that people spend with their laptop computers — heck, they spend a couple hours a day on Facebook alone — a perfect holiday gift would be a case to both protect and tote the laptop around safe and secure.
Laptop bags are sold in a very diverse set materials, sizes and colors. For the career woman, the Knomo laptop bags are probably an ideal choice. The Knomo collection is stylish and sophisticated without being gaudy. Each of their bags has a unique design, but of course, each one includes a special compartment made specially a laptop or netbook computer. Knomo also has products for men… they have a good selection of brief cases and leather laptop bags that are unique enough to be considered a conversation piece.
For the teenagers on your shopping list, a laptop bag is probably the perfect gift because something like 95% of them are online at least once a day. The fashion police have noted that, this year, teens seem to be partial to the 60′s retro styles. The “peace sign” netbook and iPad case from Designer Sleeves is fun and colorful — perfect for an expressive teen. It is also far less than the popular $50 price point, which makes it an affordable gift as well. And if the peace sign isn’t exactly your cup of tea, the Designer Sleeves laptop bags come in a wide array of designs, from leopard prints or giraffe skin to Van Gogh’s “starry, starry night.”
This is also the time for e-readers, and the iPad seems to lead the pack in fun and functionality. A perfect complement to that new iPad is a case that adds pizzazz while protecting the screen from scuffs and scratches. There are literally dozens of iPad cases to choose from, and most are extremely affordable. Our Best suggestion is to just click the “View all” link on Kolobags’ iPad cases page, and then select the one that appeals to you the most.

Our favorite purveyor of designer laptop bags is Kolobags, with a great selection of styles and designs, high-quality products and top-notch service. This morning however, Thrillist has written about a site, Caseable, that allows you to completely customize the look and colors of your laptop tote:

Computers have allowed companies to streamline the process of offering endless customization options, though ironically if you’re reading this on a Dell, you’re clearly from a time before these options existed. Stop stealing our future thoughts!! Use your comp to customize the bag you carry it in, at Caseable.
Letting you create fully customized laptop carriers via a slick design interface boasting enough options to allow for over 20,000 unique looks, Case was just launched by a duo of German designers living in Brooklyn who felt “something missing in the sleeve market”, but couldn’t figure out how to steal Bill Belichick’s game day look. Start by picking your dimensions (sizes avail for 10 distinct PC/Mac notebooks) and whether you want your waterproof neoprene job slim, or slightly bulkier thanks to a faux fur lining; then choose from 45 diff colors for the front & back panels, 13 for the side/zipper, and five for the optional handle, but not your online handle, as Doggystyle69XXX is not a color. Next, upload photos to size and drop anywhere on either panel, and add text in a variety of recognizable fonts, including the one used for TMNT; they’ve also built a randomizer that’ll generate design elements from color schemes to images, as nothing says “you” like stock photography.
If being creative is too tough, there’s an entire gallery of premade options, from a Tetris-themed job, to a blood-red number scrawled with “Video Killed the Radio Star”, which, if you’re reading this from a Dell, probably hasn’t even come to pass.

Although the customizable aspects of this website are notable, there is really only one style of laptop tote available. Other styles such as laptop backpacks and wheeled laptop bags are missing in action. It also remains to be seen how durable these bags are compared to other top bag manufacturers such as McKlein, Brenthaven or even High Sierra.
