A Stylish Case for 15” MacBook Pro, 13” MacBook and PC Notebooks

Oct 15, 2008 Janienne Jennrich

A Review: The Booq Mamba Saddle computer laptop case is loaded with features and available in unique colors for men and women.

A laptop computer is a sizeable investment, and the laptop bag protecting it should be of similar quality. The Mamba Saddle is a stylish, unique and high quality bag from Booq that will appeal to many teens, college students, and adults.

Materials Used in the Booq Mamba Saddle Laptop Bag

The first thing one notices about this bag is its soft-cornered shape and slightly glossy sheen. According to Booq, the fabric used inside and out is “polyester with water-resistant coating” They go on to say that the “diagonal ribbed texture provides durability while being silky smooth.” Silky smooth is right. This bag is a joy to feel.

The Booq Mamba Saddle comes in very cool color combinations, such as red with a bright orange interior, brown with a leaf green interior, navy blue with an orange interior, and black with a red interior. Each bag has a strong adjustable black strap and a coordinating colored shoulder pad for comfort.

Some users may miss handles. This is a bag carried by the shoulder strap only and has no handgrips.

Storage Features of the Notebook Carrier

This is an excellent bag for someone who wants a case to carry a laptop, as well as organize some file folders and lots of other items. This bag loads from the top and has unique zippers that, when opened, offer easy access to everything inside the case. This makes it a good “office on the go” or bag for a college student.

There are numerous compartments and pockets inside the Booq Mamba Saddle laptop case. The laptop section of the bag holds computers up to 15”, yet has two removable padded inserts to a 13” MacBook snug.

The Booq Momba Saddle laptop case is not the lightest or the cheapest laptop carrying case one could find, but it is versatile and well within the price range of nice quality bags. This is a bag that can also be in many situations, as it does not have the usual laptop bag appearance.

The Booq Momba Saddle laptop bag stands out as a shining star in a sea of boring square-cornered notebook carrying cases. It is soft and comfortable (yet strong), well made, stylish, and has many interesting and useful features.
