Your gadgets and papers go in the Freudian Slip. The Freudian Slip goes in your backpack.

Freudian Slip

Description

Your pens, papers, tablet, notebooks, pens, and geegaws of all kinds go in the Freudian Slip. And the Freudian Slip goes inside of your backpack.

Is there such a thing as being too organized? We don't think so. The Freudian Slip is an organizational insert designed to add additional pockets and storage to your bag.

Brain Bag Freudian Slip
12 organizational pockets, of which there are: four folder pockets (folders/papers fit horizontally or vertically), two mesh pockets for bulky items, an open-top pocket for small electronics or a notebook, three pen slots, and a business card slot.

Synapse 19/Synik 22 Freudian Slip
10 organizational pockets, of which there are: two folder pockets (folders/papers fit vertically), three open-top pockets for small electronics or a notebook, two mesh pockets for bulky items, two pen slots, and a business card slot.
Note: the Synapse 19/Synik 22 Freudian Slip also fits in the Daylight Backpack.

Synapse 25/Synik 30 Freudian Slip
15 organizational pockets, of which there are: two folder pockets (folders/papers fit horizontally or vertically), four open-top pockets for small electronics or a notebook, two mesh pockets for bulky items, two large zippered pockets, four pen slots, and a business card slot.
Note: the Synapse 25/Synik 30 Freudian Slip also fits in the Daylight Backpack.

Tri-Star/Western Flyer Freudian Slip
Adds eleven pockets of organization — four pen/pencil pockets, two flat zippered pockets, two large open top pockets for file folders, two wallet or phone sized pockets and one credit card sized pocket.

The Maker’s / Swift Freudian Slip
Fits (you guessed it) in both the Maker’s Bag and the Swift. It adds five additional pockets of organization — three zippered pockets on one side and two large open top pockets on the other. This is also the size of Freudian Slip that you'll want for your Maker's Bag or Pilot

Small Cafe Bag Freudian Slip
Eight organizational pockets. One side has a horizontal zippered pocket that can fit a phone lengthwise, as well as pockets that can fit either four pens or two pens and a flashlight, knife, or multi-tool. There’s also a pocket that can fit a phone or similar object vertically. The other side has a diagonal mesh pocket and behind that, a zippered pocket. Both can fit an iPad mini/7″ tablet, either by itself or in a Cache.

Medium Cafe Bag Freudian Slip
Eleven organizational pockets. One side has a zippered pocket and two open-top pockets, one in expandable mesh; magazines, an iPad or iPad Air, papers or notebooks fit great in those pockets (they’re a bit small for file folders). The other side has two open-top mesh pockets that can fit bulky stuff: snacks, power supplies, cords, a hard drive. Above the mesh pockets are four pen slots and one multi-tool/knife/flashlight pocket; there’s also a pocket for a phone, big or small.

Large Cafe Bag Freudian Slip
Eleven organizational pockets. One side has two open-top pockets for papers/file folders/magazines (folders fit portrait/vertically) and behind that, a zippered pocket that spans the width of the slip. These pockets also fit a full-size iPad or iPad Air. The other side has two open-top mesh pockets (which are great for power supplies, books, binoculars or other bulky stuff), four pen pockets, and two medium pockets for notebooks/phones.

The Freudian Slip is made with an exterior of 210 High Tenacity Ballistic nylon. A medium density cross-link polyethylene foam helps it retain its shape over the many years you'll use it.

    It's ok

    It's a bit of a disappointment. I was told that this was going to fit my Synik 26. When I got it, it was a little bigger than the bag pocket.

    I reached out to customer service and they told me that the slip was not designed for the Synik 26 as this was a newer bag model.

    So, it kinda fits if you wedge it in there. It's good quality for what it's worth. I just feel a little let down that this really isn't a good fit for the bag. So they have my money and I have an item that sits unused in a closet. It's a business, I get it.

    Use it Daily!

    I got this originally for my Brain bag and old Smart Alec. The slip fits perfectly in both. I use the document section to hold my laptop while the front holds my keyboard, mouse, wires and small portable battery charger.

    Bigger on the inside

    Or at least it makes your bag seem bigger on the inside. Maybe they should’ve renamed this the Tardis Slip? Doesn’t really roll off the tongue as well. Regardless, although the term Freudian slip in psychoanalysis refers to “a slip of the tongue” or a “faulty function”, this gadget is certainly not such an error. What a great addition to your go- to bag.

    Mommy

    I don't know why, but the Freudian Slip gives me confidence. It's so strange. I am a Tom Bihn neophyte, just a few months in, and I am obsessed. The Freudian Slip is this perfect organizational, reimagined suitcase-type deal that makes me excited to use even when there's no need. This is also essential if you have a backpack.

    I took this on a trip to 5 different countries and it worked out perfect. Kept my stuff organized and when I got to hotel I could pull it out and had extra room in my synapse for souvenirs. Perfect travel companion.

Sewn in Seattle

Our bags are designed and sewn right here in Seattle, Washington, U.S.A.

That allows us to be control freaks in the best way possible; we have direct control and oversight of the quality of our materials, our products, and the jobs and working environment that we help create. It also offers us a unique spontaneity: when we have an idea for a new product or accessory, we can design it, figure out how to build it, add it to our website and be ready to ship it out our front door all within just a few weeks. How cool is that?

Intrigued? You can find out more about the unusual way we do business on our Company Philosophy page.

THE BIHN Guarantee

Everything you buy from us here at TOM BIHN is satisfaction guaranteed. We’ve been in business since 1972 and we stand behind what we make.

If something goes wrong and it's our fault, we'll fix it for free. Repairs due to normal wear and tear or due to other things that are not our fault will be performed, when possible, at a reasonable charge right here in our Seattle factory where your bag was made. Defects in materials or workmanship are uncommon and almost always evident while the product is still new. Keep in mind that bags and packs are often subject to extreme wear in everyday use: do not expect them to last forever. Only true love lasts forever! You can expect a TOM BIHN product to give years and years of hard service.
