The Belly laptop backpack

Crumpler today unveiled The Belly (site not updated), a new backpack for toting laptops designed to carry chargers as well as discs and paperwork. The bag features a waterproof "ripstop" lining, a "weasel-proof" padded laptop pouch with a removable sleeve, and a large main compartment boasting easy access. Two side pockets hold a water bottle and an MP3 player -- such as Apple's iPod -- in a padded compartment. Shoulder straps feature two loops for pouch attachment and provide fine adjustment via a sliding chest strap. The backpack features a Dr. Bodenschatz back hugger, and seven small internal pockets. The Belly ($225 to $250) accommodates 12-, 13-, 14-, 15-, and 17-inch standard or widescreen laptops.
