Designed for hardcore Guitar Hero and Rock Band players, Astro Gaming’s Roadie Bag can hold up to two controllers; their Mission Bag can carry a PS3, Xbox 360 or Wii.

Although similar to the Modo Pocket, the Wrap-Up Tripod also features stretchy neoprene that can wrap around a point-and-shoot; in short, it’s both a portable tripod and case.

A three-way collab between Gravis, In4mation and Diamond Supply, the Trekker Bag is now available; this cavernous bag is still small enough for carry-ons and sports Diamond-branded wheels.

Kata’s Sling Bag is photographer friendly, with center, right and left sling positions for easy access to equipment; it’ll even swing around from your back to chest for “quick draws.”

Although it’s a bit small at 12″ wide, Mark Nason’s Dragon Bag is clearly geared towards katana-wielding ninjas, with Asian-style dragon detailing and distressed leather.

CP+B’s Buzz Bag holds up to 17″ laptops and allows you to add modules and move separators to suit your needs; our favorite feature is the horizontal escape hatch. Thanks, Ben!

Made from recycled South American tires, Tread’s laptop cases are surprisingly good looking. Their Transient Attache has a removable external carrier and is designed for the MacBook Pro.

Nike’s SB Equipment Backpack is a monster; cram in everything from laptops and DSLRs to shoes and thermos bottles. Extra points for the thickly padded shoulder straps and back.

Tom Bihn’s Checkpoint Flyer is pricier than the Checkthrough or FlyThru, but the TSA-friendly bag’s ballistic nylon + cordura construction and detachable laptop sleeve are spiffy features.

Planning on flying soon? Two new TSA friendly bags are now available: both Skooba’s Checkthrough and Belkin’s FlyThru have a butterfly design and hold up to 15.4″ laptops.

Cardboard Robot’s Exploded laptop bag looks sweet with an exploded pistol diagram screened on its front pockets, but don’t show it off to airport security unless you’re fond of cavity searches.

Few things shout blast from the past like tri-color stripes. This Keith Retro Bag by I Love Waterloo sports an adjustable strap and two pockets; it’ll accommodate up to a 13″ MacBook.
