Need some kind of gear bag

I've started accumulating/using various gadgets and i need some way to carry them all. my pockets are getting overcrowded and some stuff i just can't fit into a pocket to carry around comfortably all day.

Cell phone
BT Headset
MP3 player
TomTom
flashlight
pocket knife
various cables for the above mentioned items


I bought a Maxpedition Versipack Fatboy but I don't like it, mainly because the strap is too short (even after adjusting it all the way it can go).

I'm not sure what else is out there that's pretty decent. The Fatboy was $62.95, so something a bit less expensive would be good too.

Any suggestions?
 
REI Flash UL www.rei.com

this has been my favorite piece of gear for a while. i use it to hold a water bottle, phone, keys etc. when out biking. It also worked great on a car-less trip to DC to carry stuff around during the day, and as a daypack for hiking.
 
I was in the search a while back but I also carry a 15" laptop with me. Probably a little overkill but I was recommended and did purchase an Ogio Metro backpack with is fantastic. There are so many compartments that I lost a 3.5" hard drive and (2) usb flash drives in it for a week.
 
hmm. i can't seem to find a brand name on my manbag.

it's black with a red interior. my wife's laptop fits in it. it's pretty plain-looking.

she bought it for me, so it's automatically 25% less metro than most manbags.

Get a 3G Iphone, drop the TomTom and MP3 player and have 3 devices in 1.

sounds like a bad idea imo...the tomtom is nicer for gps functionality (and no fees monthly), and positioning in your car. You also have to pay the 30$+~~ extra in monthly fees for the iphone....

Couldn't you get a back pack with a lot of compartments? It's difficult to find a man bag that doesn't look like a purse.

SSSHHHHHH!!!!!!!

I use it at work. It comes in very handy.

I don't always have it all in my pockets. I usually take some out and lay it on my Batmobile's dash...er...I mean desk...yeah, my desk, and not the one in the Batcave either.

When I do need to carry it all, it's a pain.
 
i didn't even think of extensions for the Fatboy. i might try that. oh shit...35.99 for the pouch and the strap. i don't need no stinkin pouch! especially not if it costs 35.99!
definitely too expensive to go to an iphone - the phone itself and the monthly fees (for services that I most likely wouldn't use or wouldn't use that often).
I am supposed to be getting a laptop for work soon and if they get me one of the carrying cases that they seem to give everyone else, that thing just might work as well. it's pretty nice!
I thought of a backpack but I don't really have enough stuff to warrant the size of a backpack. I could always carry more I guess, lol.
 
check out lapolicegear.com they have lots of bags like the maxpedetion one, and good prices too. 5.11 makes nice stuff.
 
I recently bought a swiss gear laptop bag from sams, $40 and it carries everything I need and more. Might suggest checking it out, it looks like this
