Although many kids today probably don’t even know who Andy Warhol was, his art style lives on. Proof? Incase presents the Andy Warhol Protective Sleeve for 15” MacBook. The graffiti-style cover is much more interesting than most run-of-the-mill laptop sleeves, and besides this cool cover you’ll get a bonus 16” X 10” Warhol print with your order. It’s spring, so why not start a habit of switching out your computer covers every quarter?  This one is on sale for just $36 and you can pick it up at Revolveclothing.com.

When I wrote recently about Juicy Couture bags being a little immature more often than not, the Sunnies Laptop Case is an example of what I had in mind. If I saw somebody carrying this bag to work, I wouldn’t be surprised if it contained their Barbie collection and not their laptop. That said, there’s a time and place for everything, and that’s college — so if you’re going to carry this bag, I hope you’re still an undergrad. It’s $98 at Zappos Couture.

Cool Computer Cases

Finding a case that fits your computer is key – there’s nothing worse than struggling to jam your MacBook into a tight space. It should also be sturdy enough to keep your computer secure, but light enough to be easy to carry. And it’s gotta be cool!

I found a bunch of great laptop bags at kolobags, from fun and funky to sharp and conservative. Check out this site before sending your kids back to school.

Made out of wet suit material, the Designer Sleeves Butterflies 2 Executive Laptop Case is graced with vibrant butterflies. The print process is actually patent pending, putting the image directly into the neoprene, making it permanent and washable. You’ll find this bag in a variety of sizes and styles. This one is available for $40.95.

With all of the same great features from Designer Sleeves, the Skulls Executive Laptop Case is a bag most cool guys wouldn’t mind carrying. Moisture resistant as well as shock and scratch proof, Designer Sleeves are made to take the everyday wear and tear that goes on during a day in the life of just about any kid in school. Score your Skulls bag for $40.95.

If you’ve got a daughter getting ready for her first year in college, the Athena Dome Laptop Bag may be just the thing. While it looks like a stylish handbag, the Athena can also carry PCs and Macs with 15.4” screens. Available in black or brown woven faux leather, this bag could even be used as a quick overnight tote. Just $49.99, so you’ll definitely get your money’s worth.

It’s almost that time again!

It happens every year. First you can’t believe that the kids are out of school for the summer. Then before you know it they’re heading back! Besides the usual school clothes, notebooks, and pens and pencils, one major item that almost every kid needs each year is a backpack. It doesn’t matter if they’re in middle school or starting college, students need something solid for lugging their books, laptops and everything in between.

Fortunately, we found some great backpacks at eBags, and picked out three for you based on customer reviews, rather than price. (This seems to be one area where skimping will just put you in the position of replacing the bag by mid-semester.) Each of these has a customer rating of 10 or close to 10. (P.S.- all bags qualify for free shipping!)

The Bellino Backpack has an unusual shape, but that’s exactly what makes it stand out. The canvas bag is accented with dark brown leather and has padded shoulder straps for added comfort. Zippered front and side pockets provide plenty of places to tuck away pens, keys, cell phones and calculators. This smart-looking bag would work for a boy or a girl, and you can get one for $99.99.

Next up is the Mobile Edge 17.3” Premium Laptop TrackPack. Love the checkerboard pattern which, again, would work for either sex. This bag will carefully hold your laptop in its Superior SafetyCell protection compartment. And there’s even a media pocket with a headphone SoundPort, and plenty of pockets inside and out for phones, CDs and portable games. It’s only available for a limited time, but right now you can pick it up for $84.99.

Last but not least, the DAKINE Factor Pack is a great bag at a great price. There are a number of colors and patterns available, even one that’s about $10 less because it’s a discontinued shade of blue. This standard backpack is perfect for school but could do double duty on a hiking trip or bike outing. Plenty of zippered pockets, a side mesh pocket, and even a fleece-lined compartment for your sunglasses are key features of this simple bag. At just $44.95, there’s bound to be one that suits your kid’s taste.

Ah, the iPad. It’s supposed to be slim and sleek, but that all changes when you stick it in your old, oversized laptop bag. And let’s face it, iPad sleeves are nice, but lack the convenience of a regular laptop bag. This cherry blossom iPad sleeve bag hits the spot; it has the low profile of an iPad sleeve with all of the convenience of your favorite shoulder bag. Janine King offers them in a variety of patterns, but this cherry blossom print is pretty and mature – just right for the office. Get one for $50 at Etsy.

Orla Kiely is best known for her bold, vintage-style prints, and this laptop skin in her “Summer Stem” pattern is no exception to the rule. I really appreciate the juxtaposition of such a retro floral with the modernity of a laptop case; if you’re committed to a mod lifestyle but still need your contemporary technology, it’s the perfect choice. It’s $95 on sale at stefaniBags.com.

In a great shade of shocking blue, Layla is a laptop bag you’ll never confuse with anyone else’s. With the capacity to hold a fifteen-inch laptop, she’s tougher than she looks, and has plenty of pockets so you can always find what you’re looking for. She’s a great bag for women who mean business, but don’t want to sacrifice style. Get one for $248 at See Jane Work.

Laptop bags should be cheery. After all, if you’re taking your laptop home with you, it probably means you’re taking your work home too, and who doesn’t need a pick-me-up for working outside of office hours? Orla Kiely’s Large Car Laptop Bag does just the trick, and it’ll look especially adorable sitting in your passenger seat on that long, slow commute. It also comes with a longer shoulder strap if your commute is less stop-and-go and more sidewalk and subway. Get it for $240 at Orla Kiely.
