[Update: This is the last weekend for entries in the Saddleback Leather laptop case giveaway. If you haven't already entered for your chance to win this excellent case, read below for instructions on how to do so.]
A few months ago, the fine people at Saddleback Leather provided us with a medium laptop case for review. Now they’re extending that generosity to you by allowing us to give it away to one of our readers. This is 100% waterproof full grain boot leather with a high density Neoprene padding, and is valued at $265. It’s lightly used, but as is the case with all quality leather products, we like to refer to it as being “broken in.”
If you read my review (all pieces covered in the review are included in the giveaway) but didn’t get your order in for the Saddleback Leather laptop case, this may be your last chance. Saddleback Leather has discontinued their laptop case line, directing portable computer users towards their line of thin briefcases, instead. Good thing we’ve made winning this one easy to do.
To enter, just follow these three easy steps:
- Read the Saddleback Leather Laptop Case Contest Rules.
- Make sure you’re registered with Appletell and logged in.
- Leave us a comment below on this page, not on the contest rules page. Doesn’t matter what you say, just tell us hello if you want to.
That’s all there is to it. Entries will be accepted from March 8th through March 21st. The winner will be randomly selected from all qualified entries, and will be notified by March 28th.
Photos of actual bag and accessories to be awarded.
In the meantime, be sure to visit Saddleback Leather Co. to check out all of their quality leather products ranging from wallets to luggage.
Living in the desert southwest, this bag would be the ideal carrying case for a laptop, with the nostalgic old west appearance. Awesome! Quality that would last forever.
I like my bags to be waterproof. I do a lot of research in my pool. This bag would be perfect.
Bag looks gorgeous!
This must be one of the best bags on the market. I could never justify buying one for my $900 laptop but…for free maybe?…I'd love to be lucky.
Thank you, Appletell.com, for all the great fun and information you serve up each day!
Waterproof is a big deal here in Seattle. Thanks Appletell for giving it away.
Let the games begin!
I check your website every day for Apple / Mac news. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for chance to win.
Bring it on!
Thanks to all!

I don't have anything to say other than I'd really like to own this bag… And the fact that it's slightly used really *is* a good thing in this case…
Saddleback = Happy!!!!!

My life would make sense with this bag… Without it… I'll just start carrying my laptop in a supermarket bag…:( Save me from doing that!
I can't believe they're just giving one of these things away! thats so sweet good luck to everyone
Wow, what a fantastic case. Saddleback is the best.
I've wanted a Saddleback bag for so long! As a student, they are a bit out of my price-range, but I know I'll have one eventually!
Saddleback does really good work.
Hey! Love that Sattleback stuff!
This is a great-looking, upscale bag for a laptop, and waterproof! I'd love to win one of these!
I want it…I am huge Saddleback leather fan.
Beautiful bag!
This is a great looking bag! I love the look of Saddleback bags.
This guy!!!
Sup.
I want this so my kids can fight over it when I'm gone.
Howdy all, that is a ridiculously nice bag.
Saddleback Leather makes great products!!! I'm in.
I am down with that
What a sweet bag. Would love to call it mine!
The bag is beautiful!
Glad my 15" laptop would fit in it.
Saddleback has the greatest bags ever, and as my laptop bag has a broken handle this would be such an awesome prize. I've never won anything though, so I don't think my chances are that good, but I figure one day I will win something! I hope it will be this bag!
Beautiful bag! I'll take it!

Awesome bag
You have no idea how ugly most bags are in my office — especially my company's "official" laptop bag given at orientation. A man needs something with style these days.
Want!
Lovely bags! I heartily recommend them.
beautiful bag
Hello ALL!
This is an AWESOME company! Truly! From the "gals" (as Dave refers to them) in customer service all the way to Dave—"El Presdente" Just AWESOME! I placed my first order on Monday and it is on its way—I ordered a Large Briefcase in Dark Tobacco, and an Overnight Bag also in Dark Tobacco…I have NEVER seen or held a Saddleback leather item…But from the web site http://www.sadlebackleather.com and their Facebook page I decided to buy the above mentioned. You can sense the PASSION and the QUALITY from the comments, pictures, video's and more about the "products"…Everything is guaranteed for 100 years- This company and their "goods are the BEST! BEST OF THE BEST! I am planning on my second order now! The story on the SBL web site of Dave's adventures, and some mis-adventures really pull you in…It shows what great length's he and his Black Lab Blue went thru for the bags—A heart-warming–Sad—Suspensful—true story of the creation od Saddleback! He has a customer ( actually considered a part of the family, when you buy from them) FOR LIFE, and it will carry-on to my son as he will buy too! TRULY AN OUTSTANDING COMPANY WITH UNBELIEVEABLE LEATHER GOODS AND UNBELIEVEABLE PEOPLE WHO CARE ARE ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT WHAT THEY DO)—AMAZING! I am serious! The leather goods are not inexpensive—But worth every penny and MORE! Check them out: on Facebook or at their web site http://www.saddlebackleather.com The really cool thing is that David and his staff (some brothers, and relatives) have so much passion for what they do, and they truly CARE for people…And if it is not perfectly made (to Dave's standards) then there is a section called "Dave's Deals"…Remember, I have not seen nor held a single item, (mine are on the way and should be here by Friday), I do NOT work for the company or do I know anyone from SBL personally—BUT THEY ARE INCREDIBLE PEOPLE, and their "fans, and customers aka "family" are just as passionate as SBL! Stories, pictures, videos, comments, thoughts, are submitted by almost every (if not every) "customer"— ("family member") show their passion and sometime amazement for the "bags"—At look at me—The funny thing is that I just found out about SBL recently (a couple of months ago)—And honestly I did not need a briefcase, nor an Overnight bag—I am a paramedic and ex-Flight Paramedic (helicopter)…I have some nice "name brand" briefcases—-Once I saw the "goods" there was NO DOUBT I HAD TO HAVE ONE!!! Now I am working on my second order…If I was to win this by chance, I would give it to my daughter for college (she will be a Freshman in college this Fall—She has been poisoned by her mom and has little to do with me until recently, I have ALWAYS kept my hand out for her…Long story…But I think she is realizing some things! ANYWAY, You will want one or more of SBL's products—The only thing you will really lament over is what color—TRUST ME—Everyone does…Check out the web site, one of the best I have seen ever! You are thinking this guy talks too much—That is true, a genetic defect from my mom—SORRY—But check out the wb site and you will know exactly what I am talking about—When I say check it out—Seriously check the whole site out and read the story—-Be Safe!
Tommy T
PS~~~I was in no way paid or asked to do this by SBL—it is how I feel—Because I live with passion, and I am on this earth to try and make a difference—Abd SBL is totally in line with how I feel—how I am—What I indicated or tried to tell you all is how I feel and my experience with Saddle Back Leather so far—From my heart—And it will only get better—Do yourself a favor—check it out—And if it is your style, then you HAVE TO BUY ONE—trust me!
Be Safe!
Tommy T
PS~~~You can read my comments too on Facebook Tommy Tippett

Saddleback is a great company that makes an excellent product and treats people right. Glad to see them getting some more well-deserved exposure.
Beautiful bags!
My Saddleback Briefcase, Large Wallet, Small Satchel, Pouch, and Notepad are lonley….they need a laptop bag to make them feel better…to complete the nearly perfect combination of Saddleback Leather gear…so don't let them down…pick 'them'…to have another member of the SB family……besides my laptop needs some lovin' too.
