35 Stylish Laptop Cases Under $100
By Grace Bonney (from Design*Sponge) on July 27, 2010
I spend most of my life chained to a laptop. Though it wouldn't seem
like a physically demanding lifestyle, I've got the burn marks (from
overheating computers resting on my legs) to prove that technology can
be a little rough sometimes. So to soften the burden of carrying around a
hunk of metal at all times, I thought I'd round up 35 of my favorite ways to dress up technology: laptop covers!
From cushy bags and hand-crocheted sleeves, to sleek messengers and shiny cases, this list has got you covered. And the best part? They're all under $100!
I'm always looking for great new ways to lug around my laptop, so if you've got any ideas (tips? favorites? bags to avoid?) feel free to share them below. I'd love to know if anyone has any clever do-it-yourself case ideas that would help cut costs even more!
