Hasta La Gadget!

The Case Logic Soft-sided Messeger Bag ($49.95 direct, for laptops up to 16 inches) is the coziest case I’ve come across. With its softly padded polyester exterior, it looks and feels like a sleeping bag or a down jacket; you could use it as a pillow, if you stuffed it with a t-shirt or two instead of a laptop.

I did use it as a laptop case, though, and it does the job. This bag is obviously not as protective as a hard-sided case, but it makes a nice-looking, light day bag; a separate sleeve of the same material is also included for extra padding for your laptop.

The messenger has one large exterior pocket and two interior compartments; you won’t fit a huge amount of extras into this bag, but that keeps it extra-portable. I love the bright orange with gray of the bag that I used, but it also comes in brown-blue and gray-pink colorways. And it comes with–really–a 25-year warranty.

Case Logic also offers a netbook sleeve that’s covered in gray cable knit, just like your dad’s sweater; check it out after the jump.
