Pros: Can use as a vertical or horizontal holster, nice yellow accent stitching, speck embossed on both belt clips, very good deal when on sale.
Cons: Kind of a thick case, vertical flap is a bitawkward, hard to insert phone when vertical.
Overall: Very innovative design implementing both a vertical and horizontal holster in one unit. If you like holsters and sometimes can’t decide which orientation you want to wear that particular day this product definitely solves your problem. As of the writing of this post the SwitchWay was on sale for $17.47 and the regular price is $34.95.
You can purchase the SwitchWAy and the entire line from Speck from their website.

Pros: High quality durable fabric, weather proof, really cool retro seat belt buckle.
Cons: It might be a little high priced for the average person looking for a laptop bag.
Verdict: If you are on a bike for the large portion of your day, this is a must have bag for you. It’s really comfortable, durable and it looks nice. Even if you don’t know how to ride a bike, I think you’ll still appreciate this bag. It is on the more expensive side, but I think that it will last you a long time.
