I'm so excited to get something this year (I emailed after seeing the Facebook post)... been getting all my friends and family interested in Tom Bihn products! So far 4 people have bought Brain...

logista, thanks so much for your response... it makes me sad (because I wanted a Buzz!) but that was very helpful. I was hoping to get a Buzz since it'd hold my 15.4" Macbook Pro when that's the...

Heh, I probably should've mentioned that I searched both the blog and the flickr pool and couldn't find any pictures of the Buzz being used by a small female. :)

Two questions:

Is the Buzz going to be available in other colors any time soon? I've got my eyes on Plum but might go for Wasabi or Kiwi (or Storm Blue though I've never seen a TB pack in that...

timarelay, I know you've seen my pictures in the "Brain Bag for a small woman" thread. I am using the chest strap to keep the regular shoulder/backpack straps closer together. I see in your picture...

Here's the pictures of me. For reference, I'm 5'1" more or less. As I said, a bit wider than I'd like but I'm ok with it. My previous backpack was pretty large too. I need the space for school...

Ok, I caved (got tired of having to force/stretch/pull my old backpack over the top of my 4Z Brain Cell).

I'll post pictures later tonight, but I'm keeping the Brain Bag even though i's a bit...

Is a Klean Kanteen (I have the 27 oz) too wide? It's not as small as a disposable bottle but it's a lot more narrow than a Nalgene.

I hope Klean Kanteens fit in the Brain Bag pockets!!! (I don't...

Hmm free shipping coupon? When did that one go out? :) I've been eying a Brain Bag vs. Smart Alec for EVER.

You don't happen to have a picture of yourself with the backpack on your back do you? Thanks for the advice!

Hm... yesterday I posted in the Questions subforum asking for thoughts on a Brain Bag for small women and now I see this thread about the Synapse.

Thing is, it looks like the Synapse has been in...

Most of the week, I carry my laptop in a Brain Cell, 1 L water bottle, lunch, and miscellaneous items (charger, cell phone, keys, wallet, etc.). However once or twice week, I'll usually head...

Not that I'm trying to demand or anything because I'm totally happy with my Brain Cells, but this surprise gift looks really useful.

How'd the recipients get picked?

Awesome, thanks!

I know the reverse question has been asked and answered (e.g. does a late 2008/new MBP fit in the 4X Brain Cell - yes but not that well)....

But does a classic/old MBP fit in the new 4Z Brain...

Well, I flew through O'Hare this weekend (2x) with my MBP in the vertical Brain Cell (no snaps). I had nothing in the pocket, since I pretty much never use the pocket anyway. Didn't get challenged...

I know the *Horizontal* Brain Cell is not checkpoint friendly because it has metal snaps on it.... but the Vertical Brain Cell does not, or, at least, the one sitting on my desk in front of me does...

Ugh. I hear you. I got my Brain Cell not very long ago and it's still in perfect condition... but I'm going to get one of the new MBP probably before the year is out.

Do the new MBP completely...
