When most people think of laptop bags they think of the typical messenger bags, probably because that is usually all they sell in stores like Best Buy. Even though messenger bags are probably the most popular type of laptop bag, many companies make shoulder bags. Ever since I started reviewing laptop bags I’ve really come to appreciate shoulder bags because they are perfect for going to coffee shops and other places where you really don’t need a huge bag to carry a lot of gear. Today we will be taking a look at a really cool shoulder bag from Speck, the PortPack.

I definitely agree – shoulder bags are the way forward for laptop cases – the other ones can be really uncomfortable. One issue I had when trying to get one for work was the fact that the only laptop cases I could find for ages with shoulder straps that had enough padding to protect my computer properly were boring looking. Finally, after a few weeks of hunting I came across http://www.oliepops.com where I bought myself a gorgeous polka dot laptop case with shoulder strap for just £24.99! It’s perfect – it’s not only stylish but comes with loads of padding as well so I don’t have to worry about my computer getting knocked about and damaged too much on the tube. The service was brilliant too as I got to pay by Paypal and it was delivered the next day. They are also doing an offer at the moment where you can get 15% off anything if you type in the promotional code “Issy”.
