The Mobile Edge EVO Backpack has replaced all my other carry-on options in one fell swoop. My biggest gripe with most tech-luggage options… Pockets/compartments or rather, the glaring lack of enough of them of the right size, place and function. The EVO offers 16 compartments for a wide variety of specific purposes: There’s the main laptop sleeve, of course, sufficient to hold/protect laptops up to 16”/17” models.
There are also easily-accessible slots to hold typically-sized USB drives and memory cards, protected pockets suitable for both business cards and smaller electronics, a roomy dedicated media pocket with cable-ports for MP3 players or smartphones, holders for pens and pencils; a rugged moisture-resistant bottom panel protecting the main compartment; five good-sized, zippered outer compartments (one of which is specifically designed to ready access to bottled drinks of various sizes); and two secure outer mesh pockets for the small stuff you grab and stash most as you make your way through the airport, outside the hotel, into the dark, foreboding woods or what have you.
It’s all intelligently designed around a main interior space just big enough for a couple-day trip, and the straps are strong and comfy, with yet another secure mesh pocket right there, for yet another radio/phone/gadget, you techno-junkie, you.

I’m the kind of girl who likes to carry her life in her bags: I need to have my MacBook, a (paper) book, my iPod, my HTC Incredible, and all my other doodads each day. The Mobile Edge Women’s Express Backpack ($59.99 direct) is the perfect carrying solution for women who need to carry a lot of stuff without it weighing on them uncomfortably.
The first two things you’ll notice about the Express Backpack is its size (20 by 8.5 by 16 inches, HWD) and its design. The front of the pink-and-black bag is decorated with dotted ribbons (pink polka dots are also an option)–needless to say, this backpack is for those who like to emphasize their inner girly-girl. The bag is sturdy and weighs about 2.8 pounds.
The Express Backpack has five pouches: Two smaller ones on the right, one on the left, one small dome-shaped pouch on the top, and the main pouch making up most of the bag’s space. The main pouch can open fully, conveniently exposing the entirety of the bag’s insides. Here you’ll find a snug compartment to hold your laptop (up to16 inches), five small pockets attached to the inside walls to hold miscellaneous items, a pencil holder, and a main compartment to throw textbooks, games or even an Xbox 360.
The bottom of the bag is reinforced, in case one of your pens or pointy objects gets loose.

Mobile Edge continues to expand their presence on full featured movies and a variety of television shows now on ABC, NBC and Fox.
Today, I had the chance to meet with the Prop Master from ABC Family’s “The Secret Life of the American Teenager.”
I brought their team several new Mobile Edge products including EVO Backpacks, our Eco-Friendly Messenger Bag, our stylish Women’s Express Backpack, a Blue Sumo Camo Messenger and an 18” Sumo Folding Furniture Cube.
After visiting the set located on Warner Bros Ranch Studio and understanding the premise of the show, I think the variety of products I left today will work well for the show.
The show reminds me of a modern day Melrose Place only with teenage actors in High School. It’s a fun show and we look forward to working with their Prop Department all season.
I didn’t get a chance to meet Molly Ringwald, but I will make an effort to bring some “New” cases ironically when they film so maybe I can meet her.
Make sure to Tivo or DVR the show and look out for Mobile Edge and Sumo products. The show airs on Monday nights on ABC 7 p.m./6 p.m. Central.
