Shoulder bag for NC?

gtriever · 01-07-2011, 10:26 AM

I'm looking for something like THIS bag, only sized for the NOOKcolor. The object is, of course, transport for the NC and charger equipment plus earphones/small speakers. My google-fu is weak on this one, so has anybody seen such an animal?

It seems like most retailers are calling the format either "city bags" or "vertical messenger bags". Try:

Unfortunately that's one of the first places I went. It looks like everybody's definition of "small" is iPad/netbook size. Oh well... thanks for trying!

I found the bare NC fits perfectly in the front horizontal zip pocket on an earlier version of the "In Town Bag" from baggallini.com. I use the main section when the NC is in its cover. I bought mine at one of the fashion discount stores.

I've managed to reduce my commute carry (including my NC) down from a briefcase, through a messenger bag, and finally to an 8x11 vertical I got from Fossil. Oddly, they don't seem to carry anything like it anymore.

Take a look at the Tom Bihn small cafe bags. Very well made and nice colors to choose from.

Or if you have more money and want better protection, consider a Tom Bihn Ristretto for iPad. It'll be a little large, but you'll have great protection for the device. I *have* dropped my Nook while in this bag, it survived easily.

I got one of those with the Absolute Shoulder Strap to carry my regular Nook around on a daily basis and it has been perfect for my needs! My Nook is well-protected, I have enough room to carry extras, plus my everyday need stuff, like wallet, checkbook, phone, etc... and it's organized and comfy!

Saw this at CES and it seems like it would fit. Thing I liked about it was all the pockets. Seems to be made out of stretchy fabric (like swimsuit material) so the flaps over the pockets stretch. Hard to describe. I think the big pocket fits about 7" x 9.5". Didn't have my NC with me to check for fit, but it looks like it would.

Another Vote for Tom Bihn. Expensive, yes. Built like a tank, you bet. Made in Seattle with USA and the occasional Made in Japan component.

I own several and they are worth every single penny.

Try the PacSafe Metro 200. I used it for my K1 and it worked perfectly.

DINGdingding, we might have a winner here. Specs look pretty good. After posting I also found the Case Logic PDVS-4 (dvd player case) which has good specs for the NC.

Thanks, everybody!
