They have pouches for adapters, mice, wireless keyboards and all sorts of accessories for your mobile computer. Notebook backpacks range in price from $30 to $80 each.
Messenger Carry Cases
A messenger carting case looks like a soft briefcase with a long shoulder strap. It gives you the
flexibility of detaching the straps when you want a more professional look. But, they're great for traveling because they're built like the rest of your carry-on luggage. The messenger notebook case got its name because it looks like the satchels bike messengers wear that's slung across their body so it won't fall off their shoulder.

The more traditional styling of a briefcase for your notebook can be made out of canvas, leather, or
a hard shelled aluminum. These are the perfect notebook carrying case for the professional. Some have long straps for easy carrying, but all detach to reveal a sleek briefcase.
