Once upon a time, I got duped into buying a Crumpler for my 15″ laptop (the somewhat appropriately named Dreadful Embarrassment). No doubt, a Crumpler is trendy, but my experience with them so far is all bulk and barely any function. It didn’t help that the aforementioned Dreadful Embarrassment has no padding: during a sudden auto stop, the bag flew from the seat, with my laptop bearing the brunt of the impact as everything landed on the floor.

In any case, maybe my stance on Crumplers can change, because the Gadgenista recently featured the Albert Crunch, a more compact-looking bag the seems to offer ample padding. Check out the rundown here, and worry with me about the $160 price tag!
