I've always loved messenger bags, but now that I've got a whole lot more electronics, I'm needing a bag that has specialized, padded compartments for a cell phone, PDA, and iPod. I've searched the net, and I've already come up with a few candidates. First is the Laptop Messenger from Timbuk2. This looks pretty good except, I'm not sure if the "internal organizer pockets" are padded enough. I would be carrying books and I don't want to damage my electronics on account of the books in the same bag crushing them. My other concern is that a majority of the time, this bag and its strap would be sitting on my left shoulder, and not on the shoulder across my body, with the strap on the left shoulder and the bag against my right hip. (I go to a military college and regulations say you cannot have a bag cross your body in such a fashion.) This bag appears to be the sort where it has to sit in such a manner.
The next bag I've found is the Eastpak Geek, and again, I think my main concern is the padding of the internal compartments. Anyone that has this bag, I have the same concerns with the padding of the internal pockets. Again, I'm worried about the books I'm carrying crushing the gadgets, and of course accidentally hitting things with my bag through every day use, etc. That and the Eastpak Geek is only available in Europe now is a problem.
And now my other question. It's time for me to get a new wallet, and I'm looking for something that's a bit geekier than your standard fine grain leather or perhaps your ballistic nylon wallet. I don't really have any critieria for this wallet, I want it to be functional, and something that's a bit geekier than the norm. I've seen the Duct Tape Wallet from Thinkgeek and it's really not what I'm looking for. I've also seen the translucent plastic ones, and they're not for me either. Does anyone have any suggestions!
Thanks for your help!
