STM micro extra small iPad shoulder bag

javaGuru · May 10, 2010

I found a bag that looks like it might fit my iPad carrying needs.

However, I am curious to know if it will fit my iPad while it is inside the standard case made by Apple. I want to maintain protection for my iPad while it's outside the bag. I would also like to hear any opinions from anyone who has tried this bag. Thanks in advance.

it looks like it has plenty of room. it's not as tight looking as the Incase Travel Kit bag - just judging from the pictures - never seen one in person.

I have one coming on Thursday (J&R). Need it to hold my ipad with the macally bookstand on. I'll report on the fit.

EDIT: Arrived today. Fits the ipad with macally cover easily. Should work with the Apple cover.

I don't have the Micro, I have the Scout, and it'll fit a iPad in almost any case with no problem. The iPad compartment is incredibly well padded too, but the bag as a whole seems as small as it could be (which is lovely).

Too bad then don't make it in black, but I've come to love the olive color. The fabric is lovely too, it doesn't feel like cheap stuff.

I just ordered their iPad Jacket.

I use an STM bag for my Macbook and I am very happy with it.

Very cool, keep us updated on how you like it.

Here's a video of it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8j4ar0nlXM

The Jacket is nice too, but smaller. It has a nifty iPhone pocket.

Do you happen to have an Apple Case? I'd love to know if it fits in the STM iPad Jacket.

Kmorton, does your STM scout bag smell? I ask because I've received two now from amazon, and they both have a very bad fishy odor. Also, the only two reviews on amazon mention the bad odor. I,m curious if amazon received a bad shipment or if it's just as a result of one of the fabrics that they use

Jmacman78 · May 11, 2010

I do have the Apple case, as well as the new Speck Candyshell. I am hoping it will fit with either of those cases on. I will let you know.

Are you sure you didn't order it FROM the Amazon instead of Amazon.com?

I do, and it won't. The Jacket is a real tight fit.

Iv'e been sent the "Jacket iPad" by STM and from first impressions it looks outstanding. Look out for the review

Actually, I just stuffed the CandyShell in there, so it might. I was thinking of a different case when I wrote that. I need to hit the sack, but I'll dig out the Apple case and try later.

Can't wait to hear whether the Apple Case fits. Thanks.

Very cool! Looks awesome! Mine should be arriving tomorrow. Thanks for the update.

I just got this today: http://www.radtech.us/Products/stm-jacket-ipad-bag.aspx

STM Jacket for iPad. I really like it, mostly due to the size, its quite small.
I've been a fan of STM bags for a while.

I was able to fit the iPad inside it with the Candyshell on it, and it fit with the Apple Case on it also. It is a snug fit, but not too tight. If anyones interested I can post some pics later.

robby818 · May 13, 2010

Sure thing. I am pretty impressed with the STM bag. It's dimensions are perfect for an ipad with a case. Large enough to allow easy removal, but not so big that the ipad will move around inside the bag when you are walking. I like the soft inner padding and the outside pocket is great for the adapter, camera connector, and a small cleaning cloth. Price was pretty good too. I ordered a Waterfield bag but ended up returing it. I love the waterfield look but their designs lack a bit in practicality.

So the Apple Case will fit, huh? That's great to hear because I really like the jacket iPad for the times when I want to take my iPad and just a few things so I don't have to use my CaseLogic E-Sling iPad Case - Medium.

Thanks for the photos.

dagomike · May 14, 2010

Yup, I tried it and the Apple case fits fine. Most cases seem to fit with the zip-around design. Nice case for $25.

Some more pics.

Thanks for the pics! Just ordered one. Was wondering whether it would fit over my Belkin rubber shell. Now I know.

gigaguy · May 15, 2010

Just ordered the jacket, ( I guess this thread about the shoulder bag turned into the jacket thread, both look great).
I just ordered one fom ebay via ebag seller for total $24.60.
cheaper on ebay than their website, even tho bing discount showed $16?, but get to the ebag site and it is $25 marked down to $20, add ship/tax it's $29.17.
maybe I figured the bing thing wrong, it's not always clear to me what the final cost is with bing until after you actually buy.
