Update from gmich: Pictures of the Side Effect

“What a difference a month makes. This past weekend my wife had to bundle up for her walk to the park. And with a bulky coat on, that meant accessing the Side Effect as a waist pack would be tricky. So she attached the shoulder strap instead and headed out to see the city’s leaves changing color. I thought this photo, contrasted with the earlier one, would do a good job of showing the bag’s versatility.”

“I’m really impressed with the Cache I purchased for my MacBookPro”

“I’m really impressed with the Cache I purchased for my MacBookPro 13″ unibody. The fit is perfect, and the attention to detail is as meticulous as all my other Tom Bihn products. The degree of padding seems to be just right. The fabric is smooth, but not slick. It feels nice. The interior fabric is soft and makes me feel comfortable sliding the computer in and out.”
