Congratulations to Chris H. of Saint Joseph, Missouri, for winning a Playbulb Sphere color-changing light from MiPow last week. Now for this week’s prize…
You’re going to love this classic messenger bag. How do I know? Because I designed it myself. Then I went to the Timbuk2 factory a couple of miles from CNET headquarters in San Francisco to watch the team assemble it.
The gray-and-red carryall is large enough to fit a 15-inch laptop and a tablet in its spacious padded sleeves. Plus, it has felt-lined pouches inside to protect your phone’s screen. I added an internal water bottle pocket and a thick pad on the strap to support over-the-shoulder wear. It’s big enough to stuff in a jacket before slinging it across your back.
