<p>Okay, I know laptop and iPad bags and cases are about a dime a dozen. There are a million different options from a thousand manufacturers and who really cares,right? Well, sure, but see it from my point of view. I'm a photographer, I'm always looking for the perfect bag (or bags as my bag collection will tell you), and when my favourite camera bag company comes out with Apple specific carrying cases I notice. Since, in my world, most of my bags take a camera and a laptop, or some sort of hybrid, it's interesting to look at what they've put into these single-use packages.</p><p>ThinkTank sent us their "My 2nd Brain iPad" and "My 2nd Brain Laptop Slim Case" for MacBook Air and Pro 13(There's an 11" and 15" version as well). I've been using them a few weeks, but I'll go over a few key features (full details can be found on ThinkTank's website).</p><p>Overall, the bags are pretty non-descript, if not boring. Depending on how you look at it, this can be a good thing. Much of ThinkTank's lineup has been an effort to create camera bags that don't always look like camera bags. The irony, of course, being that now they're so popular that they're one of the more common camera bags around. So here's a black shoulder-strap iPad/Laptop bag that doesn't necessarily look like one, but of course, it is one by size alone. Other colours are available Harbor Blue & Mist Green nothing particularly loud or thrilling.</p><p>One thing ThinkTank has always understood is how people work in the real world. They've always given us lots of pockets and areas to store, sort, and quickly access our gear. Despite its small size, My 2nd Brain is no exception. The front zipper sections of the bags contain some pen pockets, card pockets, and a small clip for keys, USB sticks or whatever other small bits you tend to lose. A nice addition here is a soft, plush open sleeve for an iPad on the laptop bag or an iPad mini on the iPad bag.</p><p><a href="http://www.macgasm.net/2013/12/12/think-tank-2nd-brain-review/">Keep reading...</a></p>
