How do you carry your laptop in a backpack or tote that doesn’t have a designated laptop area? You use a laptop sleeve. A laptop sleeve is a padded laptop case that fits snugly around your computer. It’s designed to protect your laptop and…well…that’s about it as far as function. Sleeves generally do not have any pockets or additional features.

Except for one. A handle. Some sleeves come with handles. Why on earth would you want a laptop sleeve with a handle? I’ll explain with a scenario.

My husband just bought a laptop for school. He carries a backpack to work, school, and home and it does not have its own built-in laptop sleeve. You might think a standard laptop sleeve would work perfectly, and it might, except that he’s afraid of being a little rough on the laptop when he pulls it out of the bag. If the laptop sleeve had a handle, it could be pulled out by that instead of the actual computer where one might put a lot of pressure on the laptop screen.

Laptop sleeves with handles are also handy when you don’t want to carry your bag with you, but you want to carry the laptop to another location. Say, for example, my husband wants to study or do homework during his lunch at work. It would be silly to pack up his backpack and take the whole thing to the lunchroom. A non-bulky laptop bag like a laptop sleeve with a handle is a much more sensible solution.

Below are just some of the laptop sleeves with handles you can find on eBags right now. I’ve tried to give you a range of designs, sizes, and prices to show you just the variety you can find on the site.

Finding the right laptop bag for your Macbook can sometimes be a challenge. There are many things you need to consider including type of bag, price, design/style, and size. When it comes to size, though, you can’t always rely on what the bag says. Just because it says it fits a 17″ laptop doesn’t mean it fits your 17 inch laptop. Just because the name says it’s a laptop bag for a Macbook doesn’t mean it fits your Macbook Pro.

So what is the best way to find a laptop that fits your Macbook Pro? Shopping at eBags using our Laptop Bag Finder tool. With the Laptop Bag Finder, you can select your exact laptop model and see only the bags that fit your computer. You can find the Laptop Bag Finder in any laptop bag category on eBags including our Laptop Bag Center.

So you got a new gadget this holiday. Now you need to protect it with a case designed for your device. Whether you got a new laptop computer, netbook, cell phone, portable gaming device, digital camera, GPS, or MP3 Player, you need an electronics bag to prevent damage from even the slightest bumps.

Even if your device came with a case, you still might need to get another one. Some cases don’t have the features you need such as additional pockets and handles. Others may be lower quality and lack the protection you need such as adequate padding to protect laptop and cell phone screens and strong seams to prevent quick wear and tear. Still others might simply be the wrong style (wrong color, wrong material, etc.).

Electronics bags come in all styles, sizes, and prices. From simple and functional cell phone cases to luxurious leather laptop briefcases, you can find it all out there. So here are some tips to help you navigate the sea of electronics bags so you can find the perfect cases your devices:

• Look for features that you need based on how you will use your device. Travel often? A checkpoint friendly laptop bag is a wise choice to help you get through airport security with your computer easier. Take lots of photos wherever you go? Look for a camera bag with extra storage for memory cards and batteries. Plan to carry your netbook or computer in a larger bag? Consider padded laptop sleeves or bags that incorporate laptop sleeves like laptop backpacks.
• Find a bag that is specifically designed to fit your device. Measure your device and compare to the bag’s measurements. Don’t buy a full size laptop bag for your smaller netbook. Don’t buy a compact camera case for your SLR plus lenses. Use eBags’ handy Laptop Bag Finder to shop only the laptop bags that fit your specific brand and model of laptop.
• Read reviews. When in doubt, read what other people who bought the bag have to say about it. You might find out some interesting facts such as additional uses for the bag, neat features, and potential drawbacks.

eBags carries a huge selection of electronics bags for all your gadgets including laptop bags, cell phone cases, netbook cases, camera bags, and more.

So pretty much any day at any given time at any gym across the US there is an iPod in every color plugged into almost every single person on the cardio machines (even in the free weights for that matter). Have you looked around the last time you took public transport? We all want to do our part to be Green! And if we aren’t plugged in to our music, it is our laptop or cell phone. So how do you keep your iPod spiced up and different? Or even protected for that matter? I think it’s time you consider purchasing an iPod case.

There are so many cases for so many styles in so many colors! The possibilities are almost endless.

Need a great gift idea for the Photographer in your life? Or are you the Photographer and you are looking for that special something to help add some sanity in the organization of all of your gear? Might I suggest the Lowepro DMC-Z? This little guy is a dream when it comes to Memory card organization. I personally use mine for my Compact Flash memory cards, and it has pockets for up to 6 cards! This is perfect for shooting large events and weddings when you want to keep your cards organized and you know you will be filling several cards before you can download your images and re-format your cards.

Interior pockets keep your cards organized.

This handy carrier has a nice velcro strap on the back so you can conveniently wear it on your belt! (I prefer keeping it in an outside pocket of my camera bag, but to each his own.) No more searching through all of the compartments of your messy camera bag. No more wondering which are the 2 cards you already used, and which cards have space. I would not do a shoot without it.
