You have a stylish case to protect your cell phone and a case to protect your iPod, so why carry around your expensive lap top without its own special bag? It may be a little difficult at first to find a great laptop bag, but one of my favorites has been Pinder Bags. They offer a variety of colors and designs that are sure to please any taste.

The Giddy Up tote, made especially for women, looks more like a stylish purse than a laptop tote. The bag includes a compartment for your laptop, as well as pockets from your power supply, mouse, files and other folders. The additional throw-and-go pocket is a perfect spot for a cell phone, pens or other small items.

The Giddy Up comes in a variety of colors, from a sleek and classic black to the fun and fashionable fire red, with its deep red trim and interior. Other options include chocolate with just a hint of pink trim, and there are four additional color choices. The Giddy Up weighs less than two pounds and is completely water repellent.

Both men and women will love Pinder’s special Thin laptop sleeve carrier. This bag contains both sturdy hand straps and a shoulder strap. The sleek Thin bag includes a pocket for your laptop, as well as pocket for power supplies and a small mouse.

The Thin bag has a shoulder strap and can be used alone, but also can be slid easily into a larger bag, perfect for those who make frequent airline trips or need to carry many additional supplies while working. The Thin bag comes in several different sizes, from small bags that will fit most 12-inch laptops to the large bag that will fit most laptops with 17-inch screens. Custom bags have been designed to accommodate MacBook Air, MacBook 13, MacBook Pro 15 and MacBook Pro 17 laptops.

Pinder Bags come with a lifetime guarantee, and are made with the highest quality ballistic nylon, which resist tears and abrasions. Sturdy seat belt nylon is used for all shoulder straps, trim and handles. Ordering a Pinder Bag is also a purchase you can be proud of, as 5 percent of the sale can be donated to a charity of your choice.
