I’ve gotten along fine for years with “cheap” nylon laptop bags. They’re relatively inexpensive, reasonably durable, and spacious enough to carry the mass of tools I travel with in my mobile office. The only problem is their shelf-life. Every nylon laptop bag I’ve ever had begins to fray after a few years. Holes begin to…
