Skooba Design, meanwhile, has introduced a series of new cases including the "Skooba Shuttle," laptop backpack with a system of air-filled cells in the laptop compartment, acting as tiny shock absorbers.

The backpack is priced at $140.

Also new is the "Skooba Skreener," a courier-style laptop bag with a unique graphic treatment -- h an actual X-ray image of items typically found in laptop and travel bags—computer, phone, music device, batteries, cords, and much more.. The bags sport dual audio pockets with individual earphone ports (one for music, one for phone), an expandable main compartment, and over a dozen other pockets and compartments. The case is priced at $120.
