iPad Cases Blog Review: The Ristretto for iPad
Excerpt:
"We instantly took notice of Tom Bihn Ristretto Bag’s superior quality. The materials used in this iPad case were strong and sturdy. It is very detailed and obviously done with superior quality and care. The Tom Bihn logo at the bottom right side of the bag is sized enough to be seen."

Law Practice Matters: Empire Builder Review
Excerpt:
"Despite the weight of the bag fully loaded (which was considerable), my dainty little flower of a wife was able to carry the bag with ease, due mostly to the incredible Absolute shoulder strap. The strap - to borrow a turn of phrase from Steve Jobs - magically incorporates elasticity which creates flex in the bag as one walks with it and reduces the strain on the shoulder. Truly a fantastic strap and worth every penny." Read the full review at Law Practice Matters.

The Souths: Magic (Medium Cafe) Bag
"A few years ago, I had noticed Sara's cute bag that she carried. I'm sure I asked her about it and I'm sure she told me about it, but I promptly forgot anything she told me because my mommy brain is... well... a sieve. Last year I saw Sara during the summer and again admired her cute bag (same one... it was holding up nicely). I didn't want to ask her about it AGAIN, so I just admired it from afar. Then in August, Kristin was carrying a bag that was similar to Sara's and I thought, "That's it, I'm getting a bag like that!" So I went searching. But I couldn't find what I liked. Then I met up with Sara again over Thanksgiving in Arkansas and this time asked about her bag. Turns out they're made by a small company in Seattle called Tom Bihn. I came home and ordered their Medium Cafe Bag. Sara has the Small Cafe Bag. My thoughts were that since I had all of Kira's stuff to tote around with me, I'd like to have a bit bigger of a bag."

ncb4: Little Swift Packing List/Photos
"My Kiwi Little Swift arrived a few days ago, and I instantly fell in love with it. It took me all of five seconds to transfer everything out of the old leather purse I was using. The LS swallowed it all gracefully, with room to spare. Here’s what I have inside today...."

Practical Hacks Review of the Co-Pilot
Excerpt:"No doubt the Co-Pilot will resonate with some travelers who will fall immediately in love with it, much as I did with the Tri-Star. It’s a great bag, is impeccably made, and is distinguished by both neat features and remarkable capacity, but I keep finding myself wishing that the price was somewhere south of a Benjamin. In fairness, I should note that as with all Tom Bihn bags, the Co-Pilot’s abundance of features equates to a hefty labor content, no doubt driving cost – and price – upward. Ultimately, whether it works for you will depend upon the nature and frequency of your travel." Read the full review @ Practical Hacks.

Macworld Review: The Co-Pilot for the iPad (4.5 out of 5 Mice)
"There are plenty of iPad-specific bags out there; the Co-Pilot isn't one of them. Instead, it's versatile travel/day bag aimed squarely at iPad owners. It's not inexpensive, but it's superbly made, and you're likely to get a lot more use out of it than a bag designed just to carry your iPad."

Craving Tech Review: The Ristretto for iPad
Excerpt:
"Overall the Ristretto is a great all around bag – it’s well made and well designed to accommodate all of the items that you might carry with a netbook or an iPad. It gives plenty of pockets and compartments to store your accessories and your important-things-to-be-carried-around safely."
