I always love coming across new laptop bags to drool over and of course pass on the pleasure to Slashgear’s readers whenever I have the chance. This incredibly chic tote is just the thing to carry around all of your electronics in style.

The Kailo Tote has a padded laptop compartment that will fit either a 17” MacBook or a 15.4” wide PC laptop. It also has interior pockets for your cellphone and other gadgets as well as a removable wallet with a wristlet.
The bag is made of a durable canvas and faux leather handles and trim. Thankfully this chic bag is actually currently on sale. It is normally priced at $69.95 but is being sold for $48.95 right now.

These Eclipse laptop sleeves are great for those who enjoy a more sporty look. After all, some may want a laptop bag that can actually take a bit of a beating. These Eclipse bags look rugged enough to take out on an afternoon hike, not that I’d carry my MacBook around in the woods of course.

The sleeves are specifically for the the MacBook fitting the 13.3”, the 15.4” and the 17”. The great thing is they not only feature a cute pink version but green and black as well. It features a layer of foam padding, a faux-suede interior and a slip pocket for any documents and papers you might need.
It also has an ergonomic retractable handle. The prices vary slightly depending on the size you want. The 13.3” and the 15.4” are both priced at $39.95. The 17” is being sold for slightly more at $44.95.

Well meaning scientists decided to create a smart bra. This bra was fastened to a few women who were size D cup or above to see where the strain and discomfort was. They used a special ‘revolutionary’ fabric containing sensors.

Just so everyone is up to speed here, they made a big expensive bra to find out what millions of women could have told them. Sometimes scientists just need to learn a few social skills. They discovered that the straps cause discomfort on the shoulders, due to thin straps holding too much strain and could cause numbness, tingling and longterm damage. Here is a real revolutionary discovery, women with larger breasts bounce when walking 4 to 6 mph. I know I was shocked by that find, to think all that time I thought they stayed perfectly still. In all fairness they found a measurement of how much they bounce which is as much as 1-2 inches.
Hopefully from all this research and hi-tech equipment they can help solve the issue of that strain. If they could also work on a bra that not only makes it comfortable but can look great under that little black dress then I’m sure we could all overlook how much money they spent to create this smart bra. I’m glad we can live in a world where they can create such fancy devices to tell us what we already know.

If you like simplicity with your gadgets this cute sleeve is just the thing to keep your laptop protected from the elements. Just using wool felt and a wide elastic loop, it is probably the most simple sleeve to make.

Honestly, I expected this to come from Etsy and was equally surprised when I saw the price. I would think with supplies anyone could pick up from the local craft store it would at the very least be below fifty bucks.
However, each bag is being sold for $65-$75 just depending on the size. It is available to fit 13”, 15” or 17” and comes in light green, hot pink, orange and olive. It still isn’t a bad price and it would be great for any woman who needs her laptop for school and work since it could easily switch between your bookbag and briefcase.

Planning on asking that tech savvy girl for her hand in wedded bliss? Here’s a way to really make a splash when you present her with that all important ring.

The $199 Euricase Ring Box has a tiny 2-inch LCD screen and multimedia player built into the lid. When she opens the box, your beloved can view up to 500 pictures of your favorite memories, or up to 60 minutes of video. The box comes in a variety of finishes including the super shiny metallic gold shown here (add $50), and offers ample protection for your precious two months’ worth of salary inside.
Now as much as the ring box can be used for good, it could also be used for evil. The surefire way to get kicked to the curb with one of these would be: a) to spend more on the box than you do on the ring or b) to not pop the question in person, and instead record a video proposal.

It seems like most gamer gear is oriented towards dudes, so it’s nice to see the occasional accessory for girls who like to get their game on. On one side, this contemporary necklace features a feminine cherry blossom design, but flip it over and it shows off your true gamer spirit with the image of a classic Nintendo NES controller.


Michigan artist Sarah Lynne handcrafts her necklaces and other jewelry designs using aluminum, wire, paper and paint, then coats them with a highly polished resin glaze that takes three days to complete. Each piece she makes is unique, so you’ll need to move fast if you want the exact one in the picture above.
You can find her Nintendo necklace (and many other cool original pieces, like these Pac-man earrings) over on Etsy for $45.
