Razer Messenger Bag - Sling edition

Hi,

I'm looking to buy this Razer laptop bag. It does look pretty neat, but the only place where I found it sold is e-bay, where this guy is selling it for $97.

I'm wondering a couple of things:

• I've checked tons of resellers out there, with no luck. Any ideas where else could this be bought?
• Anyone owns this bag? If so, can you write anything about it? No reviews are to be found.
• If all this fails, any suggestion for an alternative bag that looks similar? The only alternative I found was this Slappa but it's kind of heavy (~4.3 lbs/1.9kg) and relatively expensive ($130).

Thanks.

 

did you check the razer store? is this the one?

Ah yep. Unavailable through Razer Store (both US and EU). Since today is the Easter, I'll give them a call tomorrow and see if they can sell me one. First, their price is $18 less than E-bay, and second, they aren't e-bay.

 

They sell a starcraftII bag also.

Also that guy is selling it for $97, but with free shipping. Razer only gives free shipping with orders over $100. so it MIGHT be only a small price difference.

 

If I recall correctly I saw one of these at a store in Hong Kong last year, didn't look half bad in terms of quality and what not. Not sure it's a bag that I'd pay $97 for though.

 

Razer gave me this bag for free along with other gear as compensation when their drivers had a virus in it

Its a neat bag, lots of pockets and looks rugged.

EDIT: Nvm mine is the 17" shoulder edition

 

Yeah, I got the shoulder bag as well after getting a virus from the Razer servers. The bag is well made, lots of room for my G51 and accessories.

Another good shoulder bag is the Timbuk2 laptop messenger bag.

 

I've been very impressed with my Ogio messenger bag. If you're looking for something tough, you might want to see if any of their models are something you'd like

 

Thanks a lot for good suggestions!

I got a nice reply from a cool guy from Razer sales, but unfortunately, it doesn't seem it will be available, quote: "We currently do not have any plans to restock the sling edition of the bag.".

In terms of e-Bay price ($97) yeah it's not that bad. Other bags that I was looking are also in that price range. $100 is the max total that I would be willing to spend on a bag. I should mention I just LOVE how Razer stuff looks like.

I could buy the shoulder bag (I have 1 more $50 off coupon + free shipping coupon), but it seems relatively big and it seems to me it can make a lot of pressure on your shoulders if you fill it with stuff. While with a backpack, the pressure will be distributed on both shoulders. So I'm still undecided now... Also, I will also be riding on a bicycle pretty much every day now that the spring has come, and my current messenger bag ($20 bag from NYC china town) does get in the way sometimes.

 

If you need a commute bag the timbuk2 is the way to go. Very spacious and comfortable. Yeah you could get a cheapo targus bag that will get the job done. But why not protect your thousand dollar investment with a nice quality bag?

 

For a 13" or 15" notebook, the be.ez LA besace (don't ask me how to pronounce that, it's apparently French) is worth a look. It's marketed for the Macbook Pro crowd, but I was extremely happy with mine. Now that I'm going from a 13.3" notebook to a 15.6", I'm buying another one - the next size up.

It's one of the few messenger bags marketed as being composed of "high quality materials" that I actually agree with. Everything really feels nice and I haven't had any durability problems.
