I just got this from best buy. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Init&#1...ci_sku=9505234&ref=06&loc=01&id=1218126307432

I was trying to carry the Ipad in an average sized laptop bag but that was way to big and more of a chore to carry around. This so far has been perfect. It's really small and will fit the iPad while it's in a case and the strap is adjustable enough so you can have it down by your hips or up higher under your arm if you like. And look at the price. Compared to all these fancy iPad bags this thing works perfect at a fraction of the cost

My wife had the final say in what I could get (she refused to be seen with me if I had a purse on lol). This bag passed her inspection as "it looks like a laptop bag".

I'm a woman, I don't care for shoes and my "purse" is a tiny Eastpak bag. I guess I will carry my iPad in my Tucano Macbook bag, even if there will be room to spare.
 
I think that is the solution to the ultimate success of the iPad. My wife loves hers. She carries it around everywhere, in her purse. I think thats the key.

A resurgence in Men's Carrying Bags is necessary for the iPad to become something I would feel comfortable bringing everywhere with me.

I don't want to be the only one though. Anyone else out there want to go purse shopping with me?

TIme to come out of the closet and go 'purse shopping?

I'll pass thanks :D
 
I have a simple black messanger bag that I use when transporting my MacBook Pro back and forth so once the wife lets me get an iPad I will just use that. Throw in a few books and some "smart" looking reading glasses and I will OWN the local Starbucks.
 
FWIW, as a hetro woman, I think blokes who carry man bags or man purses or whatever you want to call them can look cool and interesting, and obviously comfortable with themselves. Which is fine by me.

Being a girlie I have a total excuse to have as many ipad bags as I like. And I have, too. Heh heh heh.
 
bollocks, have you all heard youselves? Man bags? purses? Get outta here...

Just put the damn thing in a BACKPACK for christ sakes...
 
Sorry, but I just cannot bring myself to carry a murse. It just seems kinda pretentious to me.

"Look, I have so much stuff that I must have with me at all times. Being a guy, you know it's good stuff, not makeup and tampons"
 
Why would I want to become more like my wife? I'm happy being a man. That's just silly. And why would I carry something extra around when I can just put it in my wife's purse?

But ones carrying the purses won't be interested in you! :)
 
Are we really having this discussion? I guess apple is located in the Bay Area.

I actually carried mine in my hand in its mar ware leather case. No strap, no bag, no murse, no BS.

It's tiny and weighs a pound and a half.

Some like to have their hands free and not openly advertise what they've got.

I think my Mom used to call that a "clutch purse."
 
OP, did you get this yet?
Looks cool but I wanna see a size reference against the iPad.

I have a man bag lying around that might just be the perfect size for an iPad. The wait is whats killing me now.
