Keeping an eye on the most interesting bag manufacturers, it appears that the Namba Shaka Laptop Messenger bag will be a boon for musicians and DJs alike. It it optimized to carry a 15" laptop computer and a variety of other musical equipment to go with your laptop.

Namba refers to this bag as a "high performance bag" thanks to its durability and the high grade 1680D poly-nylon materials that go into the bag's construction. Due to the rise in popularity of field recording, Namba includes a compartment specifically for your digital recorder that fits the following handheld devices: Zoom H4 / H2; M-Audio Micro Trak II; Marantz PMD660 / 620; Edirol R09; Sony PCM-D50; Tascam DR-1; or the Olympus CS-10.

The Shaka bag is like a pair of cargo pants for your laptop, and as a proponent of cargo pants, I find it only fitting that my computer is afforded the same luxury. It's full of pockets with lockable zippers for extra security. A super thick shoulder pad will eliminate divots in your shoulders for long distance carriage, and if you were born without shoulders, it has a pretty sturdy and convenient handle.
