This idea for tablet bag has two parts: 1. Simple sleeve for tablet. - Probably made out of fabric covered neopren. - Open at short end (with or without a zipper) Idea is that this can be taken out and be used also separetly and it will also protect the tablet while in bigger bag. 2. Messenger bag. - Canvas etc. - In front of the bag is a separate compartment for part 1.(sleeve) - This has a two way zipper so that it can be opened from either one of its lower ends. (when zipper is closed the "bits" are in opposite ends of it) This means that it can easily be opened from both sides. - Lid of the bag is designed so that it is possible to access tablet compartment without opening the lid. This makes it faster to access the tablet. - There should be couple removable plastic plates inside the messenger bag to make it easier to divide it to different parts (like parers and "other stuff" ). - Inside of the messenger bag should be of light color. This makes it easier to find small objects like pens and keys that are on bottom of the bag. Downside is that also stains are more visible. Messenger bag could come in few colors, at least black / dark blue and a lighter version. This design would be suiteble for both men and women. More details in picture.

We all know that good device bags are almost always made of variants one of two types of material: neoprene and Cordura. Neoprene is its own deal but Cordura, that synthetic fabric that's water-resistant, tear-resistant, stain-resistant, and so on, is more than past due for a move forward. I would love to see a fabric made of that kind of fiber in that kind of weave but with threads of several different similar colors, mixed up together, like a good tweed. Maybe dark brown, light brown, mustard yellow, and grey. Or, like a real Harris tweed, with a few bright contrasty threads of green or red thrown into the mix. I need my messenger bag to be tough. Very tough. I carry not just computers but also things like machine tools and samples of building materials in it, sometimes not so neatly broken off. And let me tell you, sharp-edged hunks of granite will shred most fabric in weeks. But I'm also tired of yet more black bags. C'mon, can we PLEASE move past choices limited to flat black, bright solid colors, and big slabs of, hmm, flat black or bright colors? Think how cool it would be to have a tweed-looking bag with brass fittings that was also lightweight, ripstop, waterproof, and so on. That's MY kind of steampunk. And let's keep in mind that once you guys had the stuff being made you could, I guarantee, sell it as yard goods to folks who would be glad to do other things with it. Can you just imagine a greatcoat made of this kind of material? Summerweight shoes? Just think of it: tweed Chucks that can survive being shoved between the gears of industrial machinery. Anyway, that's it. Please move on this. After twenty-five years of the same damn thing I'm so very ready for something better.
