DragonSteelMods recently reviewed the ID messenger bag and Brain Cell laptop case. The review contains a thorough description of both bags, and has over 39 pictures of the ID and Brain Cell - pictures of the Brain Cell clipping inside the ID, close-ups of the pockets on the ID, of a laptop in the Brain Cell, and more!

Excerpts of the review are below. To read the entire review, visit DragonSteelMods.

"The Brain Cell is surprisingly lightweight for all the protection that it provides your laptop, I was actually shocked when I picked it up by just how light it is."

"I probably have 30 assorted things in the ID Messenger bag and there is still plenty of room for more stuff in there if need be. I'm amazed at how well Tom Bihn utilized the space of the ID, with all the pockets and compartments you can fit lots and lots of stuff in there, and keep it organized as well."

One of the great features of messenger bags is the convenience of having the contents of the bag handy at your finger tips because the bag rests at the side of your hip. But being able to swing the bag around to your back, wearing it like a bike messenger would, has several advantages as well: worn cross-body, high on your back, a messenger bag is more stable for cycling. And wearing a messenger bag this way can also be a life-saver for a long commute on foot, or a short sprint to the bus. It's also great for keeping your bag from bumping everyone in a crowd.

With the Q-AM (Quick-Adjust Messenger) Shoulder Strap, you can wear your TOM BIHN messenger bag slung conveniently low on your hip at one moment, and with a quick tug, cinch the strap up snug so that the bag rides high on your back the next moment. The Q-AM Shoulder Strap also has a removable Messenger Stabilizer for extra stability, in case you need it.

The Q-AM Shoulder Strap can be used with the TOM BIHN Imago, ID, and Ego messenger bags. You can purchase it with your TOM BIHN messenger bag instead of the Standard Shoulder Strap for an extra $10.00. Purchased separately, the Q-AM Shoulder Strap is $20.00. The Q-AM Shoulder Strap is in stock and ready to ship.

"Spymac tested out the Absolute Shoulder Strap, with its heavy duty, all-metal, double-plated snap-hooks and soft, durable neoprene pad with comfortable stretch backing. The strap was the most comfortable of any shoulder strap we have tested and, with its 20-inch to 52-inch span, it is suitable for users of virtually any height."
