Bags to shelter your most prized possession.

Ignore the Hello Lulu branding—this is not a pink toy for six-year-old girls. An elegant cream color, rugged canvas texture and orange highlights make this practical (loads of pockets!) laptop case a fresh and efficient travel companion. B3,690, at Loft.

With its blocky, minimalist design, this bag just screams Muji. But the bright green leather case from Aufu is actually made in Thailand. Designed with a single sleeve to fit your slim 12-inch notebook, so don’t even think of stuffing your old hand-me-down laptop in here.  B1,790, at Loft.

“Why do laptop bags always have to be boring rectangles? “ Well, they don’t! This bright yellow PVC bag from Good Job defies the laws of laptop geometry. B1,950, at Good Job.

Soft, with rounded corners, pink yet simple—the Incase cushion sleeve is for sweet girls. B2,390, at iStudio.

The Workout case from Stucano seems to be designed for construction sites and airport runways. Use it to signal for help, get noticed on dark street corners or get spotted from miles away. B2,790. Available at iStudio.

If you want to send a few emails from the top of a cliff in Krabi, drop your laptop into the Targus Revolution Rucksack II and off you go. There’s also space for your flashlight, compass and other essential outdoor survival gear. Hope you’ve got a GPRS-enabled phone to hook up to your laptop. B2,410, at iStudio.
