Case Closed Bags
If you want something a bit more flamboyant, Case Closed Bags offers several lines of notebook carriers designed for women and ranging from fairly conservative to downright cute. I personally like their Steve Collection ($149 - $199), a set of shoulder totes decorated with vintage flower designs, cowboy prints, and Chinese characters. They've also got an assortment of cell phone cases, iPod cases, and other colorful paraphernalia.
Sputnik 3 Laptop Bag
On the other hand, both males and females who wish we were still pushing the boundaries of space travel will want to show their enthusiasm with the Sputnik 3 Laptop Bag ($75) from Chrome. Made of shiny silver (or dark silver) vinyl, the Sputnik 3 will carry a compact notebook (well, the original Sputnik wasn't very big either), and includes three zippered pockets and a cell phone pouch; it can be used as either a shoulder bag or a backpack.

G-Tech Professional
It's nice to gift people with bags that can carry their iPod and other media players -- but these bags are the media players. G-Tech makes a bag that, according to the Web site, is the "first iPod control speaker pack." The snazzy Professional ($129) lets you stash your audio device and either listen to it through a traditional headset, or treat the public to your superior musical taste via NXT internal speakers. Controls are on the front flap, and there's a padded internal compartment for your laptop. It even comes in two colors: black and brown. You've got to supply the three AA batteries, though.
ScottEVest Classic Vest
Of course, if you want to keep your music, phone, and PDA available without having to drag along either a messenger bag or a backpack, you can try the ScottEVest line of digital clothing. The Classic Vest ($140), for example, offers 29 pockets (some of them highly specialized -- for example, there's one just for your memory cards), a series of "networked" conduits in the lining that lets you connect your various devices, zippered areas that divide pockets so that one device won't knock against the other... The list goes on.
