"The Boot is a small and low-profile padded sleeve made of water-repellent ballystic nylon; it features a rear pocket with Velcro closure, a reinforced top handle, and a very basic shoulder strap. If what you need is a light, compact and affordable sleeve to prevent your computer from getting bumps and scratches when you put it inside a backpack, then this could be a great choice."

"I like the thick, swiveling strap attachments, which feel sturdier than the clip-on connectors used by many bag vendors. The Dart also comes with Spire’s lifetime warranty, although you may not need it — one of my Macworld colleagues has been using the same Spire laptop bag for six years or so and still swears by it.

Or, pull off a more professional vibe with Spire's line of Dart laptop cases, which are available in several different sizes and feature tough construction that make them perfect for the office or a crowded commute. They also feature a plethora of pockets for storing power cords, phones, magazines and whatever office supplies you liberate from your employer."

"Most of you know by now that I'm something of a bag-o-holic. It's probably because I'm so attached to my MacBook Pro and because I take it everywhere but regardless, I really dig bags or all shapes and sizes. One bag I'm currently digging is the Torq backpack from Spire. If you're looking for a backpack to carry your MBP, it's worth looking into." [ Read full article ]
