For this week's giveaway, we've teamed up with Intrepid Bag Co to offer MacRumors readers a chance to win an Adventure Leather Satchel Bag designed for Apple's line of MacBook, MacBook Air, and MacBook Pro machines.

Available in 13 and 15-inch size options, the Adventure Leather Satchel is made from high-quality full grain tobacco-colored leather that will age into a unique patina, making each bag one-of-a-kind.

Intrepid Bag Co offers several quality-made leather bags, but the Adventure Satchel is its most rugged, made with old-world craftsmanship techniques like hand pounded copper rivets and UV-resistant nylon stitching.

The Adventure Satchel is laden with pockets and can hold quite a bit of gear. Under the front flap, there's a dedicated laptop section, two medium-sized interior pockets, rainproof side flaps, a key strap, and two pen holders.

There's also a hidden passport/wallet section for keeping your valuables safe, and on the outside of the bag, there's a zippered compartment under the flap and a long newspaper pocket at the back.

You can wear the Adventure Satchel cross-body with a side mounted 1.5-inch strap made from leather and canvas, which is padded for comfort even when the bag is packed full, and there's also a hand strap at the top.

The styling of this bag looks a lot like my beloved Waterfield Designs/SF Bags Muzetto bag in which my iPad travels around town...... Simple, casual but elegant all at the same time, and the flap makes it easy to reach in and quickly pull out my iPad when I need to do so. I can see how this similar, larger bag would be equally convenient, too, for toting one's MBP!

Does anybody ever really win this stuff or is this just a way to get hits on this website.

People do win things - I was a winner back in June, 2017, for Total War: WARHAMMER, a cool game. I'm sure it also helps attract eyeballs to the site as well, but hey, we don't pay anything to read this site, so they need to pay the bills and make money somehow!

I have answered that question before and will answer again.
Yes, somebody does really win this stuff.
I was the winner of this giveaway and I appreciate MacRumors for setting up these giveaways.

I wish the best of luck to everyone who entered.

I also won something - a super small Lightning - USB cable that I found to be pretty nice; this is the product URL, http://keroproducts.com/collections/products/products/nomad-cable-lightning ; except mine was in blue. Here is an Amazon link to the product too: https://www.amazon.com/Kero-Nomad-Authentic-Cable-MCU-B/dp/B00GXMTHCG (search for the Lightning version)

Wouldn't 3 inches be just a little too short?
I am using a 4 inch one on my vehicle for CarPlay and it is already a struggle.

Got an Intrepid bag a few years ago during one of their specials. Sorry, it was a horrible bag. Used it for a week and then donated it. Worst bag I ever owned. Few pockets, very stiff leather, hard to use clasps and closures. Hopefully their latest bags are better.

Hubby starting to show signs of.. ahem... aging gracefully? :D

(Check for the Silver Fox edition) :p

I have a pair of grey Birkenstocks. Really. I don't know why... ;-)

On the 'aging gracefully' tangent. I tried to surprise the wife in a thong on New Years Eve. She squealed 'MY GOD, YOU ARE ALMOST 60!!!' and proceeded to jump in bed and fall asleep (or pretend to fall asleep).

I'm thinking I know why older men end up with younger women! Possibly. I don't know if I could keep up with a younger woman, but I would at least hope she wouldn't squeal and fall asleep. But who knows... I exercise like a maniac, and was rather unimpressed with her reaction. :eek:

:(

It is a wonderful cable length, just toss into your bag or attach to your keychain. It's great for charging from your laptop and it doesn't break since it really doesn't bend.

Ah, different use case scenario.
3 inches would be a good short length when charging from laptop or transferring files.
