Cases, schmases

Vaja Case for Blackberry Curve 8900

I recently got my Blackberry back (on Saturday to be exact). You see it got a bit of snow on it and I guess the rest is history. I hadn’t had it for about three weeks and it literally felt like my right arm was missing. It wouldn’t have been so bad I guess but I was also without a laptop so it felt like I was cut off from all humanity (I’m not dramatic very often but my MacBook got stolen – I know, poor me). Anyway everything is back to order now, and just in time for the start of a new week. My berry’s back and I got a new white laptop as a belated birthday present from my parents.

I’ve never believed in taking out insurance, waste of money I always say, but as I own more expensive gadgets I wondered if I should… nah I probably still won’t. However, I figured the least I could do was buy appropriate cases for my electronics and I proceeded to search the interweb for stylish yet durable cases for my HP and my Berry. Searching for a case for my Berry was a piece of cake but as for a laptop case, most of the ones I am lusting over are for 13-inch laptops (aka MacBooks) and so my 12.1-inch HP might swim around a bit in them. So just when I was starting to forgive the person (meanie) who stole my laptop I start to hate them all over again, forgiving and forget is not one of my strongest virtues. Anyway I narrowed it down to three of my top choices for cases. Belated Christmas presents anyone?

Mulberry Bayswater for Apple

This case is inspired by the iconic Bayswater and can also double as an oversized clutch for a night out. It also comes in white patent leather and a coral leopard print and costs £350.

Abbi Zebra Print Sleeve

I found this site quite randomly actually, MyAbbi.com and this soft pony-skin feel sleeve also has a suede interior to keep your laptop scratch free. It also comes in leopard, boa and giraffe prints and an embossed neoprene version all for just $49.95.

Louis Vuitton Madeleine GM in Epi Leather

This shoulder bag can be used for both business and pleasure. It comes in both black and ivory and can carry A4 size documents easily as well as a small laptop – perfect! The fact that it’s Epi Leather and not the tiresome monogram canvas scores extra points with me. You can bag this bag for £660.
