I'm not sure whether to call PETA, AAAS of the AFM about this one, but in an "Island of Dr. Moreau"-style experiment gone horribly right, Gator cases have bred with deadly pit vipers to create the Gator Viper Bag -- a case that's surprisingly rugged, stylish and practical.

TREMBLE IN FEAR at the Viper Bag's built-in laptop compartment.

SOIL YOUR PANTS at the mere mention of the bag's multiple pockets for holding all kinds of pedals and accessories.

TEAR OUT YOUR EYES when you see the dual-textured, weather-resistant exterior and military grade polyethylene reinforced interior defense shield.

CONFESS TO YOUR PRIEST your feelings for the Viper's ergonomic and cushioned shoulder straps, adjustable sternum strap and firm grip handle.

PLAN FOR YOUR RETIREMENT and, in the meantime, enjoy the Viper Bag's rear, ventilated cushion bags.
