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.

The 2010 World Cup Soccer Tournament has been nothing less than amazing. For someone who isn’t the biggest soccer fan, I really have become one over the past few weeks. Team USA has showed the world they are a team to be reckoned with. Besides the two deplorable calls the referees made, it has been a great tournament thus far.

Regardless of your favorite team, show your support with a leather World Cup Soccer Collector’s iPod Case designed for 5G Classic iPods. Now for a limited time you can buy one of these collector’s items for 50 percent off.

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.

If you haven’t seen the TV Show Chuck on NBC you are missing out.

The show is about a computer geek who is catapulted into a new career as the government’s most vital secret agent.

The comical part of the show takes place inside a computer electronics store called Buy More Electronics. A perfect fit for Mobile Edge Laptop Bags.

Prominently displayed on a shelf directly across from the center of the set is a shelf filled with Mobile Edge Laptop Bags featuring our new ScanFast Element Briefcases for women in Pink Suede, Forest Green Suede and our popular Chocolate Suede. Other products featured are the ScanFast Men’s Briefcases, Sumo Laptop Purses in Red and Black, the distinctive Ultra V-Load Briefcases and two of our Hollywood Starlet Laptop Messenger Bags from the Maddie Powers Collection.

Product placement is great for brand recognition, and being affiliated with a popular TV Show like Chuck is a terrific opportunity to show viewers just how stylish Mobile Edge Laptop Bags really are. After all, Mobile Edge offers more than 300 different products all geared to be mobile with your electronics. Whether it’s a 17” MacBook Pro, a Dell 16” Inspiron or an ASUS 10.1” Netbook we have you covered.

Be sure to look out for Mobile Edge products on the upcoming season of Chuck starting soon on NBC.

Although the plot of the show is a little zany, it is great comedy with terrific actors.
Here is a brief recap of how this computer store “geeky” guy becomes a very popular man by government officials.

When Chuck opens an e-mail subliminally encoded with government secrets, he unwittingly downloads an entire server of sensitive data into his brain. Now, the fate of the world lies in the unlikely hands of a guy who works at a Buy More Electronics store. Instead of fighting computer viruses, he must now confront assassins and international terrorists.

With the government’s most precious secrets in Chuck’s head, Major John Casey (Adam Baldwin, “My Bodyguard”) of the National Security Agency resumes his responsibility of protecting Chuck. Casey’s partner is the CIA’s top agent (and Chuck’s dream girl), Sarah Walker (Yvonne Strahovski, “Gone”). They try to keep him safe by trading in his pocket protector for a bulletproof vest.

Chuck airs on NBC Monday nights. For more information about Chuck, click here.
