I have purchased several Booq bags over the years for my portable computers and generally find their bags to be stylish and of high quality (with the exception of one case I had recently, though Booq kindly exchanged it for me). They released a few new bag styles last year and I selected the 2008 Mamba Sling shoulder bag in black to use with both the MacBook I used to own and the Lenovo ThinkPad T60 provided for my last job by my company, and now with my MacBook Air. I detest the boring black laptop bags most companies provide with their laptops and wanted something nicer that also didn’t scream “I have a laptop computer in here — try to steal me, please!”. The Sling Case doesn’t look like an obvious laptop bag, but carries one with ease and looks good doing it, though it has some negative aspects that aren’t revealed until you use it.

Review: 2008/2009 MacBook Air Lock Bracket
[frame]This review was originally posted on my old site, macgirl.net in March 2009 and is for a lock bracket that was sold on eBay for the MacBook Air models available at that time. This bracket is no longer available for sale but you can buy a similar one for the MacBook Air from macbracket.com.
If you have a newer MacBook Air model made from 2010 through 2012, stay tuned for an upcoming review of the MacBracket lock bracket for these models.[/frame]
If you own a MacBook Air, you may be worried about your ability to keep it secure in an office environment or coffee shop since it lacks the Kensington lock slot usually found on portable computers. I worry about this myself and learned of a possible solution through a thread over on MacRumors.com – an enterprising seller on eBay has made a custom bracket that fits through one of the MacBook Air’s hinges and acts as a makeshift slot through which a Kensington lock can be secured. Does it really work? Does it damage your Air in the process? Read on to find out…
New review: Element Case for iPhone
The fabulous folks over at Element Case sent me 2 of their Liquid cases to review – a customized case in black and the special Valentine’s Day limited edition version. While they’re not the usual case style I buy, I founds *lots* to like in these cases – you can read my review here.
New review: Incase Protective Cover for 3G iPhone
Ah, another case reviewed for my 3G iPhone! This is the latest iteration of a case I also had for my first-generation iPhone, the Incase Protective Cover rubber/silicone case. This came to me as a gift (thanks Cathy!) and I love the color and access it allows me to my iPhone, though it’s not quite right for me to use daily. Read my review to find out why…
I caved and bought a wireless USB modem
I’m not quite sure why I agonized over this decision for so long since it’s not like me to be wishy-washy about gadgets I want to buy. But I caved today after yet another commute on the train without Wi-Fi onboard this morning. I shake my fist at you, MBTA!
Although I got free 2-day shipping with my order, I’m quite sure AT&T won’t get around to sending it out until after Christmas, so it will be a little while. This gives me time to find a USB extension cable since I’m nearly positive it won’t fit into the USB port on my MacBook Air with its limited clearance. RadioShack, I shall hunt thee with a vengeance.
Hmmm, I should do a review on this modem. When I Googled for information on it, there wasn’t much in the way of reviews, so there’s definitely a dearth of detailed information from a user’s point of view on it on the interwebs. Geeky girl to the rescue!
