New Laptop? Time to get a new Laptop Case!

Were you lucky enough to get a new laptop for Christmas this year?  If you were, it’s time to buy a new laptop case to protect your new gift. Laptop cases have come a long way over the years… just as laptops have. The selection ranges from the ubba-urban neoprene laptop sleeves to the conservative yet classically styled leather laptop cases to the highly durable and wildly popular traditional nylon laptop business case. No matter what style of laptop computer case you are looking for, Irv’s Luggage has the perfect selection at the perfect price!

Here are my three favorites…
For the chic yet somewhat traditional business person… my top pick is the Victorinox Architecture 2.0 Trevi Expandable Laptop Briefcase (SAB 303223). This is a perfect laptop case for the up and coming business person (men or women) as it features dual main compartments and a a built-in Aero Sleeve™ padded computer pod with breathable window to help extend the battery life of your laptop. This is an expandable laptop case, and will hold a laptop up to 15” screen size. What I really like about this Trevi computer case is that it is lightweight, has pockets and files to hold all my stuff and its made of durable ballistic nylon. This has an adjustable, padded shoulder strap  plus durable carry handles which makes carrying this laptop case a breeze. The Irv’s Luggage price is $169.97 and this laptop case will ship for free!  A great deal on a great laptop bag. Check out all the Victorinox Architecture Laptop Cases at Irv’s Luggage!

Looking for a leather laptop case?  You can spend a lot of money on a variety of traditional leather brands: Tumi, Hartmann, Johnston & Murphy, Marc New York, but one of my favorites is the David King Leather Porthole Laptop Briefcase (DK BP 119). As one of the world’s largest importers of South African leather, David King Leather offers classic style, elegance and design features that make this leather laptop case very popular. Offered in black leather, café colored leather and tan leather (natural), the styling of this leather laptop case makes this a top choice. Designed to hold up to a 15” laptop, this David King leather computer bag weighs in at 5 lbs… so you know that it is durable. Irv’s Luggage offers this David King laptop bag at $127.97 and of course, it will ship free.

And, for just the ladies… the McKlein W Series Glen Ellyn Detachable Leather Laptop Wheeled Women’s Briefcase (MC BL 9436). What I really like about this women’s laptop case is that you can choose to either wheel it or carry it by the handles or a shoulder strap. Offered at Irv’s Luggage in a choice of colors, this women’s leather laptop case holds up to a 15.4” laptop.  Fun, durable, and definitely styled for the fashionable woman.
