While a messenger is fine for short-haul commutes, for me they’re not stable or ergonomic enough for much longer rides. As my fitness increases I find myself …
Although I carry gear, I don’t carry a typical gear bag. I don’t go to an office, so I don’t need a bag big enough to hold a laptop and other job necessities. I just need a bag big enough to carry what I’ll need while I’m out. I have some bags big enough to …

Most of the charging bags we’ve featured on The Gadgeteer have been small clutches, just big enough to hold your phone and maybe a credit card or two and not much else. They might work as a “go to lunch” bag, but you’ll probably need to put the charging case in a bigger bag that …

The Phorce Pro is a briefcase that converts into a backpack or messenger bag. That in itself is not unique; we’ve seen numerous bags that have this ability to convert from one form to another. What sets the Phorce Pro apart from those bags is that it has a built in rechargeable 26,000 mAH lithium-ion …

I’m getting ready to go on a vacation / road trip and you know what that means when you’re a gadgeteer… It means it’s time to figure out what gear to bring on the trip. Which computer to bring, tablet, notebooks, cameras, and of course, which bag to carry it all in. I already have …

Back in 2010, I reviewed my first Tom Bihn Ristretto for iPad bag. It was fantastic. I liked it because you could carry your tablet computing device and a handful of other things, without a bulky bag. I expected the Ristretto for iPad to last a long time. I certainly didn’t expect what happened next. We’ll …
