    I’ve got a great Netbook Clamshell Brief from Briggs & Riley. It’s so easy to travel with this since it meets TSA guidelines. The checkpoint friendly section opens down the middle isolating the laptop for security screening. I love the little thoughtful features that are incorporated into this business case such as the padded pockets to keep computer gadgets, PDAs, digital cameras. It’s also got a separate section to keep computer cords, a separate file section and organizer—this becomes really cool when you start using it and find you don’t have to dig in here and there to find cords, headphones, or even a pen! Truly worth the amount spent since it also comes with a lifetime warranty! I love Briggs & Riley for their functional designs (and style) and am thinking of purchasing a larger piece of luggage. Lots of their luggage is on sale thru Dec 24, ’09 so thought I’d pick up a bargain.

    Love the Belkin laptop hideaway bag! I could definitely use this bag around the house and the boat! What a great idea. I'm always carrying my power cords and mouse from one room to the next and this would make it easier.
