Top Ten Coolest Laptop Cases

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the i-just-use-a-grocery-bag dept.

coverlim writes "The finishing touch for any uber geek is a cool laptop bag, even if that means duct tape. For some rather more fetching, stylish choices, check out productdose's Top Ten Coolest Laptop Cases . Im particularly keen on the haliburton for moonlighting at CTU, or the Knomo Frinton for hanging out. Im betting slashdotters will prefer the on with solar panels?"

  1. I like my laptop case by liliafan · · Score: 4, Funny

    I find my walmart plastic bag to be perfectly suitable to carry around my old crappy dell :p On second thoughts perhaps I should transfer it to trashbag :)

  2. Uber Geeks care about style? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'm not sure uber geeks have the *coolest* laptop bags...

    My operating systems professor often wore black with a brown belt/shoes.

    darn, there was me thinking I'd actually be able to get a laptop on my lap again - these things are HOT!

    A well at least I'll look nice even with a burn on my lap ;-)

  4. I want the bulletproof one by MECC · · Score: 2, Funny

    For when I buy a laptop without an operating system, so I can deflect bullets from MS 'security auditors'.

    The FedEx box, seams carefully reinforced with duct tape, which includes a bubble wrap lining to protect your laptop from even the most rude of shocks.

    Or are their tastes a little backwards?

    I mean, the Haliburton case looks like something that's filled with toy-tools for your 6 year old nephew. And the Oakley? Mad max? Nothing says post-apocalyptic to me than 'Oakley'. And the 'level 4 restricted'? I see we have moved on from the 6 year olds to the 14 year old marketing category.

    Finally... the number one spot. A case that looks like a reject from a 70s design company. Who would walk around like that? Can you picture someone on the street carrying one of those? Exactly what suit or outfit would one be wearing to match a cedar briefcase? As much as I love wood-paneled station wagons, I never wanted to _look_ like one.

    Don't get me wrong, the padded-grey-yawn that most laptop cases could do with a lot of improvement. But these aren't it.
