Brenthaven Edge II Jet Black (2292101) Review

Brenthaven Edge II Jet Black (2292101)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is the third case I've bought in this line. The first two were the Edge I for 13" Macs, the second case was only purchased after the cat made a rather poor choice of what might be his litter box... twice (i.e. the first case was not lost due to normal breakage/wear and tear). The Edge II case was for my Macbook Pro Unibody and works perfectly for my expectations. It's got solid and stiff corners and padding all around the edges to absorb shock from a fall.
They improved every aspect of the case that could have used improving from the previous Edge. The shoulder strap clasps are still metal, yet much less likely to snap open; they definitely require a thumb and forefinger to unhook this time around.
The single zipper pocket has been moved from inside the case to the outside -- much easier to access and has slightly more room. While they claim the pocket will fit an AC adapter, it will not fit (or just barely) the MBP adapter if you are using the long cord, and even then it feels like you are straining on the capacity. This is really my only complaint, but I also realize you are trading some of the bulk/capacity of the case for a sleek and slim briefcase-like design.
The side "stash a folder" pocket is still there and still handy for tossing in random papers as you might need to.
One of the marketing gimmicks attached to this case is that you do not need to pull the case out when going through airport security, but TSA hasn't gotten the memo. I've yet to make it through security without have to rescan the case. It's less hassle just to remove the computer from case the first time through.
You can position the laptop so you can open the case and use the laptop while still in the case, but it's a little awkward if you have anything in the front pocket or need to do this for prolonged periods. It's however very handy to zip open, do some quick note taking or web look-ups, and then zip it up again.
Lastly, the case really just feels well-crafted and excellently designed. Almost everyone who's taken a second look has commented "wow, nice case."

Brenthaven 2131 Metrolite II for Notebook - Jet Black Review

Brenthaven 2131 Metrolite II for Notebook - Jet Black
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
After meticulous research on the "perfect" case for my new Macbook, I finally found the Metrolite II. I wanted a bag that had a snug fit for my 13'' Macbook, and offered solid protection but without all the bulk. Most of what I found was either a single neoprene sleeve, that really just protects against scratches and a 'light' bump; or full size laptop cases with either no storage or way too many pockets.
And then I found the Metrolite II. It has amazing protection in a slim design, and a pocket that was made to fit the adapter, cords, and your standard Mac accessories. The top of the case has padded flaps that fold down which snug in the smaller Macbook, and give ample shock absorption (not found on many other laptops), plus keeps the zippers away from scratching your beautiful Macbook. You have extra room for magazines and papers, plus your iPod (with earbud port), pens, cell phone, etc. The case is super-light too, but amazingly rigid. Even the clips to the shoulder strap are set diagonally so the case doesn't swing around while you are walking with it.
And if it wasn't awesome enough....its a Zero Impact bag. 100% of the carbon is offset, and 5% of all the profits go towards environmental initiatives. Brenthaven even has a 100% Lifetime Guarantee on their products.
--If you're going to spend $1300 on a Mac, get the Metrolite II and have the piece of mind that its well protected. It's custom fit for you Macbook and its accessories, gives solid protection-- all in a sleek design that's environmentally friendly.

Belle Hop Personal Safety Alarm Review

Belle Hop Personal Safety Alarm
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased two belle hop personal safety alarms as Christmas presents. They are small and compact, and the strap mechanism that turns on the alarm is very simple. Even in an emergency, it would be very easy to activate the alarm.
On the downside, it is not very loud. It you are planning on using it to scare away an attacker, and are envisioning a piercing, overwhelming blast of noise (as I was for some reason), forget it. It's loud enough to provide some shock value I suppose, but at a distance of more than a few feet, it sounds like a distant alarm clock...not something that would really attract attention. Thus, I wouldn't recommend this product.

OGIO Straight Jacket Travel Bag Review

This is a nice travel bag. The wheels moved with ease and was easy to move around the airport. It has decent padding for club heads. I have an average set of clubs and they barly fit with a simple stand bag. This may prove to be a problem if you have long clubs. I used it with a clubglove stiff arm. With that and a couple of towels around the club heads it probably performed as close to a hard case as you can get. I would still like to see more padding especially around the club heads.

Waterproof Travel Pouch Review

Waterproof Travel Pouch
Average Reviews:

This product is a case of total false advertising. These bags are not waterproof at all. When you receive the product, the instructions even tell you it is not waterproof, and not suitable for submersion. There is no seal to this bag - you simply fold the opening down on itself and then Velcro the fold shut. Water has complete access into this bag if submerged. Very unhappy with this product due to misleading advertising - it was not suitable for my intended purpose of a waterproof bag. The word waterproof should be eliminated from the title and description, and a description of the closure method should be provided so that buyers can determine suitability for their purpose. This product is adequate only for splash protection on land. I would not trust it on a boat/canoe/kayak even for splash protection.
