Women’s Tablet Briefcase reviewed in Macworld

Matthew Olivolo December 14th, 2011

By Lauren Crabbe, Macworld Technology Editor

The latest Mobile Edge Woman’s Netbook Briefcase does a good job of looking stylish enough for a young professional woman without crossing over into giant-purse territory. This bag is undeniably a briefcase, but the faux-leather-on-microfiber exterior adds a touch of femininity to an otherwise androgynous accessory.

Thanks to a reinforced bottom and thick sides, along with a padded sleeve, the bag provides considerable protection to your laptop, yet the bag is surprisingly light. Your 13-inch MacBook Air or MacBook Pro is secured by a thick, Velcro fastener, and there are plenty of pockets and straps to hold pens, chargers, notepads, and—at Mobile Edge’s insistence—lipstick. The bag includes a matching cosmetics pouch, but you can use the pouch, about the size of a MacBook’s AC adapter, for storing accessories. The bag’s hardware, which secures leather handles and a removable, adjustable, padded shoulder strap, is sturdy.

The design of the bag makes it convenient for holding—and accessing—a lot of stuff. The zipper runs all the way to the bottom of the bag on both sides, so you can fan the bag open to search for, well, a tube of lipstick. (Flaps of the bag’s cloth lining keep your stuff from falling out with the back fully open.) If you can’t quite fit all of your work inside the bag’s 4-inch-across interior, there’s also an outer pocket for documents or a magazine. The briefcase also sports small, metal feet so the bottom never gets dirty, as well as a Velcro-attached strap for sliding your bag over the handle of a rolling suitcase.

The Woman’s Netbook Briefcase has everything a professional woman might need in a briefcase. It’s simple without being too utilitarian and stylish without being too eye-catching.

TSA-Approved Laptop Bags That Aren’t Ugly – Techlicious

Matthew Olivolo October 21st, 2011

By Jennifer Gaines, Techlicious, Travel & Entertainment Editor

Confession: I think checkpoint-friendly laptop bags are the anti-fashion. Because of this, I’ve chosen to forgo function and maintain style, but many of my more practical traveling companions would happily ditch fashion for the chance to move through the security line a bit faster.

I talked to those practical travelers to ask them their opinions of checkpoint-friendly laptop bags, a.k.a. TSA approved, and the response was overall very good. The frequent flyers who use these bags often say they typically get through the line without hang-ups. The most common complaints: cost and style.

This takes us back to my function vs. fashion dilemma; I searched high and low for TSA approved laptop bags that aren’t ugly, and the selection of ladies’ bags is quite dismal, I must admit.

But here are a few that made the cut for style and function:
The Mobile Edge ScanFast Element Briefcase is one of the most high-tech bags out there. It not only includes a section just for your laptop, making it TSA compliant, but it also has a wireless security shield to keep your devices safe.

If you’re in the market for a checkpoint-friendly laptop bag, it’s a good idea to cross-check its components with the Transportation Security Administration guidelines for compliant laptop bags. That said, I should remind you that the airport security screening process can be random, so just because you have one of these bags doesn’t mean that you won’t be asked to remove your laptop. As many of the practical travelers told me, the bags usually do the job, but not always.

Happy Mobile Edge customer shows loyalty

Matthew Olivolo September 13th, 2011

Another happy Mobile Edge customer. Rick from Fullerton, California shows off his new Mini Messenger with orange trim, and his older Mobile Edge V-Load Select Briefcase he has owned since 2004.

Rick has an iPad he uses and wanted a smaller case to use when traveling around. The Notebook Messenger gave him just the right amount of space for his new tablet. He didn’t need a full sized laptop bag so this was the ideal choice for him. He is still able to carry extra items he needs while on the go.

Rick loved the quality of his Mobile Edge V-Load Briefcase so much that when he needed a new case he came back to Mobile Edge as his first choice. The Lifetime Warranty was a big selling point. According to Rick, the fact a company like Mobile Edge that stands behind their products for life says a lot about the quality of their products.

Mobile Edge ScanFast 2.0 Briefcase reviewed – Gadgeteer

Matthew Olivolo September 6th, 2011

Reviewed by Elizabeth Daugherty, Technology Editor, Gadgeteer.com

I really hate flying. I’ve never been a big fan. I hate the high prices, the long lines, the rules, the regulations, the baggage fees, what you can carry on and what you can’t carry on. Honestly, I wonder if it isn’t just easier to drive.

But since sometimes driving is out of the question, I either have to fly or take the train and either way, I have to go through TSA checkpoints.

Let me make something clear: I don’t try to sneak stuff on planes that I’m not supposed to have. I obey the rules. That doesn’t mean I like the shakedown at the checkpoints.

When I first found out about Checkpoint Friendly laptop bags, I was more than just interested. Finally, a company is doing something to alleviate some of the misery at TSA check ins.

Mobile Edge has taken this a couple of steps further. The Anaheim, California based company, mindful of the needs of the traveler has designed a series of bags; ScanFast 2.0, that allows faster check through. The ScanFast 2.0 is designed so that the lap top need not be taken out of the bag while going through the X-ray machine. The bag zips open like a clamshell and lays flat so that the laptop in the sleeve is displayed and need not be taken out of the bag, run through and then packed back up causing delays and hold ups.

Mobile Edge doesn’t stop there. They have actually designed a bag with the computer user and the environment and the economy in mind.

Going Green:
Mobile Edge didn’t stop at just the computer user. They went after the computer user who is concerned about the environment as well. Utilizing a polymeric material called Sorona®, this material is partially made from corn. That’s right…corn. Other bags use nylon or polyester but Mobile Edge, in conjunction with DuPont™, has incorporated corn into the main material of their products thereby reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 63% over those petroleum based products. Did I mention it’s also stain resistant? Did I mention the solid construction and sturdy zippers?

Sumo Professional Briefcase by Mobile Edge

Matthew Olivolo August 17th, 2011

Fashion Blogger and Designer Kate Trgovac, reviews our new Sumo Professional Briefcase and points out that not all black bags are made equal. In fact, at times Black Bags actually are what you need to match that special suit or outfit. Here is a portion of her review.

A staple in your laptop’s wardrobe

By Kate Trgovac, Fashion Blogger
My closet is full of work clothes, but I can only classify one outfit as “the perfect work suit”. My perfect work suit fits me like a glove. It looks good standing up for a presentation – it looks good sitting down for an interview. I can trust it to carry me through the day with confidence and it always adds a little spring in my step. The Sumo Professional Laptop Briefcase from Mobile Edge, with its funky look, sturdy construction, and superior laptop cosseting capabilities makes it the perfect briefcase counterpart to my perfect work suit. This bag is great for client meetings in the city or when I travel out of town on business. Actually, it’s perfect to take with me on vacation too – it’s for any occasion when I need my laptop (and why be coy? That’s pretty much every occasion.)

The Sumo professional briefcase has a front zippered compartment for quick, easy access. There are accessory pockets, space for my business cards and keys, and when I take this bag with me to the airport, I can stow my passport and boarding pass in there.

Unzipping the main compartment of the bag reveals two storage areas sandwiched on either side of a laptop sleeve. The large front storage compartment is, like my perfect work suit, made to complement accessories. There are storage pockets for my electronic doo-dads, including a pocket that is lined with soft fabric. I put my iPhone there to keep it scratch-free.

There’s also plenty of room for my A/C adapter and various cords. The cushioned, corduroy laptop sleeve is positioned in the middle of the bag, acting as a divider between front and back storage sections. My 15″ MacBook Pro fits perfectly. The manufacturer states that it will fit a PC laptop up to 11″ x 16″ x 2″, and this is realistic. When packed up, the center-positioned sleeve made the bag extremely comfortable to wear. Rather than a rigid laptop against my hip, the storage area next to my body had a more give and the bag felt more balanced.
