On a perfect sunny day in September in Newport Beach, 22,000 participants came out to support the Orange County Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure. Each person had a common purpose to be there, which was to help raise money to battle breast cancer as a life threatening disease.

Each year, Mobile Edge donates 2,000 Totes or Backpacks to Breast Cancer Survivors supporting our local community.

During the event, the Mobile Edge Team always has a raffle giving away several different Komen or pink themed Laptop Cases.

We are proud to announce that Candace from Costa Mesa is the winner of a new TPS Backpack (backpack seen on Glee on Fox). You can see her excitement after receiving the package in the mail, and opening the gift from Mobile Edge.

Stay tuned for photos of two more winners of the 2011 Komen Race for the Cure giveaway from Mobile Edge.

Remember, October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. Mobile Edge is offering FREE shipping and a Komen Water Bottle with each purchase of a Komen Caring Case from Mobile Edge. Support the cause and Mobile Edge will donate 10% of the retail sales price back to the Foundation. To date, we have donated more than $300,000 and counting.

We’ve mentioned Mobile Edge here on Gadling before, but mainly for their excellent checkpoint friendly bags. In addition to these bags, the company also offers a lineup of travel gadgets. One of those gadgets is the new M100 PowerSmart Bluetooth headset.

The M100 is special thanks to an ingenious folding design. When you are not using the headset, you simply fold it flat and attach it to the included lanyard clip. When in the “off” position, you get a whopping 60 days standby time out of the headset. The headset comes with an AC adapter and a very clever L shaped USB plug.

The M100 is also pocket friendly – when in the standby position, the headset locks the call button, preventing one of those embarrassing phone calls made to friends by mistake.

Audio quality is quite outstanding, mainly thanks to the flanged earpiece, which keeps the headset nice and snug in your ears, blocking outside noise.

Happy Shopping!

A durable laptop bag is fundamental when traveling with your laptop. Make sure it has a dedicated computer section with plenty of padding. Mobile Edge has many laptop bags that offer superior protection for your laptop, and many don’t even look like laptop bags at all. Most importantly, keep your bag with you at all times to ensure it doesn’t mysteriously walk away without you noticing.

Here are a few useful tips on traveling with your laptop from The Traveler’s Journal.
