EDITOR RATING:

Mobile Edge is a laptop bag and accessory manufacturer that has a history of making bags for Alienware gaming notebooks. Our editors had mixed feelings about some of the Alienware bags from Mobile Edge in the past, but the latest Alienware Orion Messenger (ScanFast) and Alienware Netbook Sleeve promise to exceed our expectations. I spent a few weeks using the new bag and sleeve with my Alienware M11x to see if these products are worth your hard-earned cash.

The Alienware Orion Messenger (ScanFast) is an update to the Alienware line of accessories from Mobile Edge and it indeed looks like a substantial improvement over the older Alienware-themed designs from Mobile Edge. The majority of the exterior and interior is made of 840 Denier Nylon but the front face of the bag features a semi-rigid panel of matte black foam/plastic that gives some added protection against impact if you’re tossing the messenger bag into an overhead compartment or you accidentally kick the bag under the seat while on a flight.

Alienware PCs are all about brand recognition and the same can be said for the Alienware Orion Messenger. The shoulder strap pad features the Alienware name in the official font. Every zipper has black metal versions of the alien head logo embedded in the durable rubber pull tabs. The mirror-polished metal alien head logo on the front panel of the bag is the most obvious indication that you’re looking at something related to Alienware, but I have to say it seems a little odd that the back of the bag doesn’t have any Alienware branding at all, just mesh padding and a handle sleeve that fits over your roller luggage in the airport.

That’s right, currently crews are working on Transformers 3 and should be in theaters sometime in 2011. I sent over a few Mobile Edge and Sumo laptop cases that are uber cool, and may be used by lead actor Shia LaBeouf (or is Megan Fox the lead actor???).

Keeping in mind is smaller stature, we hand selected cases that were leaner so they did not over power his character. Messenger Bags and stylish briefcases were my first choice to send to the Prop Masters. I also sent over a few Backpacks that may fit as well.

However, I think the new Sumo Professional Briefcase is the one the Prop Masters may end up choosing. It is very stylish, upscale and simply is a great looking case.

The case features a stylish front panel with with discrete Sumo branding, and accented with a Leather bottom for strength and durability. The back panel has a quilted stitching look with a convenience trolley strap to place on top of a rolling suitcase when traveling. This laptop bag is ideal for 17″ Apple MacBook Pro laptops.

The Sumo Professional Briefcase comes with a matching leather shoulder strap which makes this case very stylish with character and detail.

What are your thoughts on this case? Send me your opinion and let me know if this is a good choice for Shia LaBeouf to carry or not. I’ll send you a special coupon code for future purchases on the Mobile Edge website for commenting.

Now that Mobile Edge has expanded into the UK, customers and editors alike are enjoying the stylish laptop cases we produce. Most recently, an editor from a technology blog site in the UK reviewed our new Sumo Laptop Purse with great praise.

Here is a brief recap of her article.

At £120, the Sumo Women’s Laptop Purse isn’t a cheap item, but it is one of the nicest laptop bags we’ve seen recently. It strikes a great balance between style, practicality and usability, and it’s also just about affordable. We’ve had one for the past week or so, to find out how we’ve been getting on with the Sumo Women’s Laptop Purse, join us after the break.

The Sumo Women’s Laptop Purse, as the name implies, is a laptop bag aimed purely at women. As such, it sits at the smaller end of the laptop bag market, and looks more like a hardwearing handbag than a laptop case.

Finished in nylon, this stylish case is every bit durable enough to take with you everywhere you go, and the quality of the stitching is top notch. The Sumo is available in a few different colours – including red and black, but our favourite is the black with contrasting pink stitching option, which is both distinctive yet classy.

The Sumo has leather detailing, with the leather straps adding a tactile and attractive finish. The bottom of the bag is also finished in leather, proven hardware and easy to clean.
