And yeah, I could see you with that messenger bag and a fedora. In the subway, though? Hmm... Plus, you'll need more space for your new ScanSnap 1300 to travel with you, right? Very smooth– I like those BookBook cases a lot.

And yeah, I could see you with that messenger bag and a fedora. In the subway, though? Hmm…

Plus, you’ll need more space for your new ScanSnap 1300 to travel with you, right?

I really like the style of those Renaissance Art ones. I might just save my pennies for <a href="http://www.renaissance-art.com/Prod138/Product.aspx" rel="nofollow">this one</a>. Then I can look dashing in my Indiana Jones fedora as I bound up the subway stairs. One of the best I have seen of this genre is from BookBook: <a href="http://twelvesouth.com/products/bookbook/" rel="nofollow">hardcover laptop cases</a> that look like stuffy old leather-bound books.

I recently changed up my bag arrangement for exactly this reason. I have a small hoard of bags-- a Tom Bihn Checkpoint Flyer, which is great for traveling by air; a laptop backpack; a very simple messenger-style bag that houses a laptop and a few files or a book. But I also have a classic leather briefcase (not an attaché case,nor a satchel, nor a messenger bag-- a real briefcase, something like this one: https://www.jackgeorges.com/images/products/prestige_collection_classic_br.jpg ). It's classy, it's simple, it's elegantly utilitarian-- and it looks nothing like a laptop bag. I got a gorgeous fitted leather sleeve from Renaissance Arts (http://www.renaissance-art.com/) for my MacBook, and it slides down into one of the side gussets of my briefcase. I've got room for books in the middle, and my Tom Bihn Freudian Slip (http://www.tombihn.com/page/001/PROD/ACC/TB0345) and I'm good to go. Nobody knows I'm carrying a laptop-- in fact, even my colleagues who know I'm seldom without it are surprised to see it emerge from my briefcase. It's a great mix of function, form, and disguise! If you're looking for something similar, you might check into these bags form McKlein: http://www.mckleinusa.com/83384.html. Hey Tad, I’m with you on the bag-that-doesn’t-scream-laptop thing.
