The Dodobag is an elegant bag designed to hold the Dodocase, and elegant case designed to hold your iPad. You read that right. The bag is a bag to carry a case, and it costs $80.
I live in Europe, where as many men as women carry bags, so I already have a closet-full of what you might call ?murses?. From what I understand, the American gentleman tends to think carrying a small bag might somehow diminish his masculinity. This is, I presume, where the Dodobag comes in.
Made from black Cordura nylon with a bright-red interior, the bag looks a lot like the case it is made to coddle. Inside is a padded sleeve, offering a little more protection from knocks than does the cardboard and bamboo Dodocase, and there is a handy removable pocket for cables and the like. The shoulder strap is adjustable, and there are D-rings for attaching a cross-strap to stop the bag from flapping like a soon-to-be-extinct bird when you use it on a bike.
Like the Dodocase, the Dodobag is made in San Francisco, this time by Rickshaw Bags. I have a Dodocase, which cost me $60 plus a lot of shipping and duty. I used it for a week before switching to the Apple iPad case, which in turn I toss into any of my bags, including one from Eastpak which looks almost the same as this one and cost a lot less. Still, if you are in the market for an iPad bag, like our own Brian X Chen, then this one should probably be on your list, if only because it looks ?manly?.
