Thanks for the suggestions, the bags look great. However, I am not much of a leather fan. Leather bags are generally much heavier and I am not too fond of the way they look. I would appreciate if you could recommend bags in some other material – something that is lightweight, but durable. My budget is around $150, but definitely not more than $200. I want something which has few pockets for things like pens, business cards, flash stick, power cords, cell phone, etc. I want to carry it like a briefcase, but it would be nice if I also had the option of carrying it on my shoulder.

Filson ($210):

Pikeroderick, the two brands that I would recommend for business briefs are Briggs and Riley and Tumi. Both these luggage manufacturers make high quality laptop briefcases. Personally, I prefer Briggs and Riley for their clean lines and functionality. I find BR bags a lot more streamlined and a little less pricey than Tumi. Of course, Tumi also doesn’t have the lifetime warranty that Briggs and Riley offer on their products. I like this Verb Move business case from BR, which suits almost all your requirements. Tumi has a similar product – Alpha essential brief. You can check out both the options and see which one you like better!

Longshot, what material does Filson use to make their bags. I have been using nylon bags and I am familiar with their quality and durability. How does the fabric used in Filson bags compare to nylon?

Go with Filson. It's classy but has personality, and as longshot said, the older it gets, the better it looks. My friends working at GQ/Details have been touting it for years.

Although I like the Filson briefcase, I have some concerns. First, I checked with a few people who’ve been using Filson and most of them have the same complaint that the bag doesn’t have enough pockets for all the stuff that goes into a briefcase. I carry a lot of high value tech gear with me and I would be a little wary of bundling them together in one pocket. Second, I hear the cotton twill material they use to make their bags is hard to clean. Briggs and Riley use nylon for their bags, which I know is resistant to stains and pretty easy to clean since I have some experience with nylon bags. In another words, it’s not high maintenance. But the thing that worries me most is Filson’s limited lifetime warranty. Does that mean that they will not repair the bag for anything other than manufacturing defects? Compared to Briggs and Riley’s lifetime warranty (http://www.briggs-riley.com/simple-as-that-lifetime-warranty/ - which, by the way, even covers airline damage), it doesn’t really paint a nice picture!

+1 for the Briggs and Riley Move business case. BR products are business-oriented as opposed to many others that are more of a style statement. The bag reflects great taste in luggage and solid understanding of quality!

Thanks for the wonderful suggestions, guys. I finally took the plunge and bought the Move laptop business case from Briggs and Riley. I am awaiting the delivery, which should be sometime soon. I can’t wait to get my hands on it.

Don't forget to pick-up a matching buckskin wallet or even coin purse while you're producing your acquisitions. Purses are loved by all women as well as a great gift for special events.Keep quality in mind when searching for the perfect side tooled leather purse. You will encounter inexpensive imitations you'll need for a great leather tooled ladies handbag. Rather than a single made of leather-based, an inexpensive purse made of plastic-type or vinyl will appear to save you money.
