From the less-is-more school: a minimalist briefcase.
From the same "less is more" design school as the Daylight Backpack, the Daylight Briefcase is our answer to those who desire a classic, ultralight, and utilitarian briefcase.
And, like any well-realized, pure, straight-forward design, the Daylight Briefcase is defined almost as much by what it forgoes as by what it features. Our decision to omit padded handles, foam panels, and structure makes it eminently light and packable: an empty Daylight Briefcase fits flat in the main compartment of the Aeronaut 45, and it can be rolled and stowed in just about any of our larger bags.
Take a closer look at the Daylight Briefcase and you'll see our signature well thought-out pocketry. On the front face, one zippered pocket sits at a slight slope so you can slip in your 7" tablet with ease, either on its own or in a vertical 7" Tablet Cache or vertical Cache for iPad Mini. (Tip: tuck the flap of the Cache above the zipper and to the left so that the Cache remains in the pocket when you remove your tablet.) Above that slanted pocket, a second zippered pocket spans the width of the bag. Inside, it is divided down the middle into two sides that are well-suited for holding a phone, a paperback or Kindle, a power supply, or other small stuff.
One wall of the main compartment contains an open-top pocket with an elastic top. This clever application of elastic means the pocket can offer greater capacity for bulkier items without totally bellowing out, as well as making it easier for you to stow and retrieve things without catching them on the edge of the pocket. On the opposite wall you'll find two webbing loops designed to accept our Cache laptop sleeve. The Cache secures to the interior of the Daylight Briefcase in such a way that you can slide it out at TSA security checkpoints without actually removing your laptop from the Cache, turning the Daylight briefcase into a checkpoint-friendly laptop bag most laptops 13" or under.
O-rings? You bet. There's a total of six O-rings in the Daylight Briefcase: two in the main compartment, and two in each of the horizontal pockets on the face and back of the bag (tucked up near the external edges of the handles). Just to get you started, we've included an 8" Key Strap in Black, tethered to one of the O-rings in the main compartment. Add Organizer Pouches, Key Straps, a Guardian Light, or even a 3D Organizer Cube to customize and organize the inside of your bag.
The exterior back side has a pocket with a gently curved zipper. Files or a magazine fit great, but, like with the Daylight Backpack, stowing a jacket in this pocket creates a padded back panel and gives the bag some body and definition.
Although the top webbing grab handles can be pushed down out of the way when they're not of use, they naturally want to arise and meet, ready for your hand to grab. The Daylight Briefcase comes with a Simple Shoulder Strap, which clips to d-ring attachment points.
You like choices and we like to give you choices! That's why the Daylight Briefcase is typically available* in two different exterior fabrics. Our Materials Glossary explains each fabric in great detail, but here are some quick facts that may help you decide which to choose. And we're always here if you have questions: emailus@tombihn.com

I love this bag so much I have two! It is perfect for every day items back and forth to work; i carry my laptop, charger, and a few other accessories including hat and gloves (in the winter of course) and extra mouse, pens, keys, etc. I know you don’t have the blue color listed BUT you do show it on the page, so hopefully you would consider making it in blue sometime soon? Please? Let me know what I need to do to make this a reality, LOL. Thank you Tom for making the most amazing bags in the world, and Thank you to all your awesome employees who are always so incredibly helpful and easy to work with!

This bag swallows gear like Hermione’s bag. Seriously, how do I get so much in there? Plus I can find it all without a wand or any “accio ” this or that. I love that I can carry everything I need without lugging a massive backpack that is half empty. Thanks Tom and company, you’ve done it again.

I was looking for a messenger bag that could be used everyday, but that also could be packed away and brought out on a trip - and this is that bag! Great quality build (as always), user-friendly organization, but lightweight and "squishable" enough to pack flat for transit if needed at the destination but not en route. I also appreciate the inclusion of O rings, and double zippers to facilitate locking various compartments if needed. In the main compartment, the interior organizer pocket can be a bit prone to bowing as it lacks a zipper or any kind of restrainment device ... but really that's more a commentary on my propensity to overpack it! Truly, this is a great bag and I'm really enjoying using it for everyday, knowing that I can bring it with me when needed also.
