Reader Request: Stylish and Functional Laptop Cases

In the past, I've been very happy with work totes with built-in computer sleeves as well. Target especially has very economical and sturdy option. This is an item one can splurge if you have the means. I prefer to have a number of bags and change them often when it comes to carrying my computer. Bright colors are my favorite as I tend to dress in neutral colors and bright colors cheer up my work outfits.

One last tip about computer bags is on getting easy access to your wallet. I generally hang a small handbag through the handles to hold my essentials as I'm running around. In this way, I don't have to dig into my big bag, get easy access to money and keys, and most importantly keep my computer safe from falls and spills.
There is a great selection of laptop sleeves for all budgets right now. I like the simple sleeves from Apple as I'm a Mac user, but it is possible to find sleeves for less. There are as nice options at the container store. The styles that are made out of leather or other fabrics are also very stylish, but I find them less practical as they tend to weigh more and more importantly occupy more space.
Question: I really need trendy notebook case because now I am using an old-fashioned black notebook case, I feel like a man carrying it. I need more colors and a more stylish case. Unfortunately I have no time to look around. Any ideas? Thanks!

This is a question most ladies face daily and the answer depends a lot on your personal style. I generally use a laptop sleeve and stick into different business totes or a backpack depending on where I'm going and what I'm wearing.


Here are some more computer case options for every budget.
