I’m fairly certain there was a time when a single laptop bag was enough. But these days, laptops have become light enough that people are willing to carry them places they haven’t before, and they’re common enough to be used in classrooms, kitchens and restaurants. So, you not only need a case or bag to carry the laptop around, but you also need a protective case to keep it free from scratches and scuffs when in use. A good place to turn to take care of both is Speck.

The Western Flyer is a very sharp looking, very sturdy bag that’s built to be upgraded. This is good in that you can basically turn the Western Flyer into whatever you want it to be. It’s bad in that nearly everything is going to cost you extra, and that’s on top of the already steep $160.00.
