What is it?
A messenger bag that provides protective padding inside for your laptops and Macbooks up to 15.6”. With the optional strap, it can be carried around your shoulder, or in a brief case style.
Why?
Why not is what I’d normally say. But I really got this because I wanted to look smart for a few meetings, and this does the job. It is a very smart case, fairly thin and light like the Rivacase 8160 (https://www.oxgadgets.com/2013/04/review-rivacase-8160-16-laptop-backpack.html), and surprisingly roomy inside.
What sets this apart?
Apart from the protective padding for your laptop, this also includes shock absorbing, a pocket at the back for documents, one in front for your accessories, and that triangular bit you see with the logo, I found it to be very useful to squeeze in a water bottle.
I like it, how do I get it?
This can be found under the Macbook Retina Cases category at GearZap:

It retails for £39.95, but at the moment it has a discount and costs £34.95.
Verdict:
I got this because I wanted a smart case that was comfortable to carry, looked good, and fulfilled my carriage and storage needs. This ticked all of those boxes. At £39.95, it provides great value for money, and is definitely recommended!
