Rubicon Rucksack Baby Bag
(18 June 2008) - Unless you're into the "dad in drag" look, we recommend the Rubicon Rucksack, the most masculine diaper bag we've come across. A rugged buffalo leather bag, it comes with two interchangeable linings that transform it from diaper bag (complete with bottle pockets) to padded laptop bag. The over-the-shoulder rucksack also features a snap-in compartment for a water-resistant diaper pad, custom antique brass baby wipes...

AirMail
(17 January 2008) - Sometimes the obvious choice is the best choice, which is why we love the new manila envelope-based AirMail sleeve designed for the new MacBook Air by our favorite quick thinkers, Jona Bechtolt and Claire L. Evans. Yep, someone already did it. We were hoping that the Airs would ship in an actual manila envelope, but the AirMail lends functionality by handmaking the case out...

Griffin Elevator Laptop Stand
