The “New Product”. We will be introducing a new product on Friday, April 28th. It will be available in sizes for the 17″ MacBook Pro, 15″ MacBook Pro, and 12″ Powerbook.

The Brain Cell, available in Size 1 for the 17″ MacBook Pro, is a laptop case provides tough hard-shell protection but is still light and minimalist. The Brain Cell has an exterior mesh pocket for your power supply and maybe one other accessory, and handles and attachments for a shoulder strap that make it easy to carry on its own. The Brain Cell is also designed to clip securely inside our Empire Builder briefcase or Super Ego messenger bag. It can also slip inside your current messenger bag or briefcase.

The Monolith, also available in Size 1 for the 17″ MacBook Pro, provides the same protection as the Brain Cell but in a vertical format that makes it the best option for backpacks. It can slip inside your current backpack or clip inside our Brain Bag or Smart Alec backpacks.

The Soft Cell (Size 1 for the MacBook Pro ships mid-June) is a simple and elegant padded envelope, available in Solid Black, to protect your laptop against scrapes and scratches. The Mitre (Available now in Size 1) is similar to the Soft Cell but is available in a cool Titanium color.

The Brain Bag is the ultimate on-your-back, student or business organizer big daypack. It has two main compartments — you could even carry two laptops in it! The Size 1 Monolith clips into the Brain Bag in either compartment and protects your MacBook Pro. There is plenty of other room in the Brain Bag for books, files, cables, accessories, and more. If you’re looking for even more organization with your Brain Bag, check out the Freudian Slip and Snake Charmer.

The Smart Alec backpack is a daypack like you’ve never seen. Its clean lines and stealth styling make this bag easy on the eyes. The top zipper to the main compartment features a splash-proof zipper, and there are also two exterior pockets with splash-proof zippers, “hidden” in the side panels. If you’re tired of backpacks with endless geegaws, bungee cords, and buckles, this is the bag for you. The Smart Alec features removable clips that will accept the Size 1 Monolith laptop case to fit your 17″ MacBook Pro.

The Empire Builder is the result of three years of product development and 30 years of bag building experience. It is uniquely styled, superbly functional, and built to endure years of abuse. The Empire Builder has removable clips that will accept the Size 1 Brain Cell laptop case and thus your 17″ MacBook Pro. One of our most popular products, the Empire Builder is often sold out but will be in-stock by May 5th.

The Super Ego is our brand new messenger-style bag designed to fit accept the Size 1 Brain Cell for the 17″ MacBook Pro (and every other Brain Cell size, too!) It’s a huge bag that can hold a huge amount of stuff. It’s also one of our most customizable bags — the strip on the front of the Super Ego is interchangeable. You can choose from over twelve different colors of strip.
