An enviromental-friendly stylish (!) laptop briefcase.

[ZzBoG]

Hello everybody,

I'm considering a kool briefcase for my new MBP15.

Can anybody recommend something as stylish as knomobags.com but used with some modern materials..

The idea of running around with a piece of someones skin makes me dizzy. I don't like it at all. Not that I'm vegan or totally greenpi$$ed, but I think, that it's better to avoid using natural materials (to avoid destroying animals & plants), when it's possible, or at least for fun (please don't start this vegan-antivegan thing, it's all about the new briefcase here, nothing else).

The price should be not above the $200 mark. Is there something, made with nylon or smth else? I looked at the booqbag, but it seems to be a bit bulky and, hm, not stylish. As I said, www.knomobags.com stuff looks cool enough, but, alas they are all made of leather.


P.S. I am a male.

You didn't make it quite clear - do you want a case that looks like those ones, but made out of a synthetic faux leather substitute?

Only 50% of the human race can say that.

Exactly! Or nylon or something else..

Hmm... I think less than 50%... And what's wrong with that?

I am considering this for my first MBP 15: 9Brand, Furushiki

It s based on the traditional way of Japanese to wrap their stuffs.

With the material, I actually meant did you mean fake leather (like you get get for jackets and shoes) as opposed to any kind of synthetic material. Anyhoo, I like Crumpler - funky and stylish.

My other remark was a quote from Joe Orton, not a scientific statement or a moral judgement.

Well... anybody else can recommend something less known, then Crumpler & Timbuk2? Those are too modern to my tastes... I want something of a more classical form, but made with modern materials...

Better odds me thinks.

I use a Swiss army mail carrier bag. Its very durable an has lots of room for books and such for University. I also use this which works awesome and looks good. It is soft on the inside and the zipper has material underneath so not to scratch the computer.

EDIT: The case also comes in 15" and 17"

It's not all that stylish, but I used my old thinkpad's briefcase, which worked fine (the compartment is a perfect fit for a 15" MBP). However, their build-quality is shoddy and the handle (plastic, can't be easily replaced) broke off after a while and now I'm also in the market for a similar briefcase.

i'm quite happy with my crumpbler bag mind you. it doesn't have the executive look your looking for but its very spartan and ergonomic.
