Judie Lipsett, editor/founder of Gear Diary reviewed one of Mobile Edge’s newest laptop bags, the CuteBug Messenger Bag. As expected, Judie wrote an in-depth review covering all of the key attributes this bag has to offer not missing any details. She even took the time to model the messenger bag for us. I think we found our new model for advertising. Read Judie’s review below…

I was eager to review the Mobile Edge CuteBug Laptop Messenger Bag, because it is one of the most original designs I’ve ever seen. Combining the extremely well executed features we have come to expect from Mobile Edge with the sassy iconic images Maddie Powers’ designs borrow from 1940s and 50s pulp fiction magazines, the CuteBug Laptop Messenger Bag is one hot tamale.

In person, the bag is far lovelier than the Mobile Edge site pictures convey; the colors are deeper and the materials more luxurious. There are three major textures and materials at play: the green printed vinyl on the front of the bag, the smooth black nylon composing the sides and bottom of the bag and the exquisitely lush purple velvet on the back. The beauty of the vinyl and the nylon are that they are dirt and stain resistant, the only downside to the velvet is that it is nappy - making it a natural magnet for cat hair and lint, and meaning that it might drag against your clothing more than a smooth-sided bag would, depending upon what you are wearing.

The bag measures approximately 17? wide x 13? tall x 5.5? deep. It is made to hold up to a 15.4? screen laptop, measuring no more than 15.5? wide x 12? tall x 3.8? thick. And you know it kills me that my X205 is just too darn big to fit inside!

As you might have guessed by the picture above, there is a 15? wide slash pocket on the back of the bag. This is a perfect place to store magazines, newspapers, plane tickets, or any other slim items that need immediate and easy access.

Every year at CES companies launch their newest and greatest products, and Mobile Edge followed suit. We introduced our new versions of the CuteBug Messenger and Sheba laptop bags. We also unveiled to media and retail buyers our new men’s line called Dig. The new Dig line will have a similar theme to it as the women’s CuteBug line using vintage sports icon images from the 40’s & 50’s. The new line will feature a backpack, messenger, tote and vertical messenger called the Stadium Bag.

We also introduced several new Mobile Edge laptop cases that are scheduled to hit retail shelves early spring. One of several cases introduced at CES was our new Element Collection, which comes in three colors and made of soft poly-suede and chocolate trim. The reaction was the same from both retail buyers and journalists alike, they really liked this new Collection. The sexy interior matches the outside suede of each case which comes in green, chocolate or a soft pink all contrasted with chocolate accents. The price is very reasonable at $99.99. Stay tuned for photos and more product announcements.

SlashGear is offering a first look at a new line of laptop bags coming from Mobile Edge in 2008. They are the DIG Collection. There are only a couple bags so far, but don’t worry, there will be more. These are a great alternative to the typical boring black messenger bag. The DIG Collection bags offer similar pulp styling that can be found on our women’s line of Maddie Powers inspired laptop bags. Keep on eye on MobileEdge.com for your chance to be one of the first to own one of these uniquely stylish laptop bags. Check out Slashgear too for more photos of the DIG Collection.
