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.
