Forget the basic black nylon, as well as the briefcase-like look of most laptop cases. Talene Reilly’s Laptop Tote is just as stylish as any designer handbag, but is practically designed, so it will securely carry a laptop anywhere you need to go. In deep plum (as well as black and white houndstooth), the leather and flannel bag has a Teflon-coated, foam padded laptop pocket that can protect a computer completely from falls up to 3 feet. There are six other pockets on the bag and it has a zip top closure. The rolled leather handles have a 6.5″ drop and are attached with silver-tone rings, which match the buckle accents on the bag’s trim. It measures 15″ x 16″x 1/4″. Price: $285.
