Skooba Weekend Warrior Stores Your Notebook, Shoes

I always travel with two pairs of shoes. It doesn’t matter even if I’m going somewhere for two days. I must have two pairs of shoes. I’ll forgo extra underwear for a second pair of shoes and socks. And so I can’t tell you how excited I was when I opened up an email from Skooba announcing the Weekend Warrior and saw the shoes off to the right. Probably a little much, actually, but I don’t care. Lt. Dan would appreciated where I’m coming from. → Read More

Skooba, Targus working on TSA-friendly gear bags

Anyone that’s traveled with their laptop knows what a pain in the ass security is because you’re required to take out your laptop when going through the x-ray machine. I despise it and I travel quite often and it’s slowly becoming the bane of my existence. Maybe I’m being dramatic, but I think we can all agree that it’s an annoying process. Targus and Skooba, among others, have heard our plight and they’re looking to cash-in. Both companies are currently working on prototype “checkpoint-friendly” cases that the TSA is currently testing. No word on when these bags will hit the market, but you can bet your bottom dollar I’ll be waiting for one. → Read More
