Carrying your iPad in public...a MANLY thread!

[NovemberWhiskey]

You tuck it in your armpit like it's a rolled up newspaper. That's the only way to do it manly.

That will be one smelly iPad if I did that.

I have two. They are great, durable bags.

and when it slips out of the armpit and bounces down the street? (rubber prof)

I saw Tom Bihn mentioned a lot in here. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with the Cadet bag. I'm going to be using it to carry my iPad Air and my 13" Ultrabook. I was looking at a Booq bag, but based on a few reviews on here, I think the TB may last longer.

My new favorite: Muzetto Outback Waxed Canvas

I have a few shoulder bags (OK, man purses) going, depending on if I need the iPad for work, for play, or want to carry a camera system too. (A Chrome, a couple Timbuk 2s, a Hazard 4, RedOxx, and a Tumi for work.)

My new favorite for just carrying the iPad around town is the Muzetto Outback Waxed Canvas.

Very simple design, but they did a great job on the details. Very nice strap and shoulder pad, very light, and a really neat fabric. I went with the 10" portable size. A full size iPad fits in the rear compartment, and a mini can fit in the front compartment, which also has a soft liner fabric. Typically I carry the mini in the front compartment and the charger or other things in the back.

More photos at sfbags.com, but here are a couple:

I've suffered this

I bought one of those SFbags leather bags and can't use it. Instinct.

After all, these are made in San Francisco

no seriously, it's only those leather bags that give me the willies. All their other stuff is way cool.

Anyway, it's no the girly thing really about these, it's the dork thing IMHO

A good dork free bag. Dual use is good camouflage. Military, camping, hiking, touring.

Tumi have a couple that are slim compact and respectable for a man to carry. Nothing girly about it at all.

I was thinking it was an example of a very lady like purse. until i read ur "Nothing girly about it at all"

y wouldn't u just put it in ur backpack or briefcase ?


and who cares what people think of u?
U seem to be pretty interested in purses
just go for it man it's 2014
let ur man purse flag fly high.

Even though I find the price a little steep (I'd expect full leather in this range), the Muzetto is a gorgeous bag IMHO. Enjoy!

Wanted a business bag that was just built for my ipad and a small notepad folio. This is the medium Saddleback "satchel" and I'll keep the ipad inside the bag, but to give perspective of how perfect this is for the ipad, I stuck it in the flap for papers on the outside. In Tobacco brown, it is stunning if you like heavy leather like I do.

I've been carrying that bag around every day for a couple of years now. Love it. Mine is the dark brown. It has all kinds of nicks and scratches from use and looks amazing. Also, I have never seen such high quality, durable and stout hardware on any other bags.

I use a leather clutch which I made myself. The leather is supple and comfortable, and has enough to keep my keys, wallet and small set of documents.

Looks great paired with office attire.

You can't go wrong with the TImbuk2 bags. I love them. Durable as hell and very customizable.

That is really good looking, well done! You should open up a store on Etsy.

I usually toss mine in a laptop bag along with the macbook, but if not then i carry it around with its *fake spigen tough armor case since that looks manly enough

although i wish spigen made a real one

A PSA here:
Please, if you ever carry your iPad in public, don't use it to take a picture.
