Customizable Laptop Totes

November 23, 2010

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.

Back-to-school laptop bagsIt seems like Memorial Day was just last week, but here we are looking at Labor Day just around the corner. Summer is practically over (and as of this writing, some kids are already back in school). And whether you have to wear a uniform and ride a bus or can just learn virtually while sitting at your desk in boxer shorts, this is a good time of year to review what’s come out lately, and what you may need in the areas of technology and gadgets.

The first thing that comes to my mind for “back to school” is a backpack. Whether you’re in grade school, high school, college or post-grad, a good backpack is indispensable. And since students from junior high and up are all required these days to do computer work, the essential carry-all is a laptop backpack; a school backpack that can carry books and papers, as well as tote your laptop computer to school and back.

In addition to the (obvious) backpack, though, there are many other kinds of laptop bags that are both stylish and extremely useful for anyone going back-to-school. Back to school bags — that also carry and protect your valuable laptop — also include laptop totes, laptop sleeve or a large, comfortable laptop messenger bag.

I recommend checking them out at dedicated niche sites like Kolobags. They carry only the best products and provide the best customer service. It’s a much better experience than shopping at a huge mega-site or a chain store.
