Brought Crumpler’s The Fug (Black) which is a very slim neoprene sleeve for my 13″ MacBook Air from Paragon‘s Crumpler store, it cost SGD$55, but if you are a CitiBank credit card holder, you enjoy a 10% discount. I ended up paying SGD$49.50 for it.

I was contemplating between this and the SwitchEasy’s Thins, but ended up I went for this instead because:

• It is about SGD$15 bucks cheaper
• It is slimmer and fits the MacBook Air perfectly
• I don’t like the way they glue the edges of the SwitchEasy’s Thins, because I believe that once you use it very often, the glue will start to harden and it can be peeled off
• I am also not really a fan of velcro because it is noisy when I have to take out the MacBook Air
• Despite the velcro prevents the MacBook Air from slipping out of the sleeve, I rather not have it because for my case, I will be placing it in my Timbuk2 Q Backpack 2011 and having the velcro means it requires an additional step when I have to take out my MacBook Air

Bought the Crumpler Dry Red No. 3 from Crumpler Ion Orchard. It is retailing for SGD$299 and if you pay by American Express (AMEX) credit card, there is a 10% discount, so after the discount, it cost SGD$269.10.

The Crumpler Dry Red No. 3 is a carry-on cabin luggage and it fits exactly the cabin of the plane (I have seen my colleague used it). It measures 38cm x 55cm x 23cm (Width x Height x Depth) and weights 2.7kg.

Gotten another Crumpler pouch for my US trip next Sunday, this time is the Crumpler Pouch – Haven (M). This is the limited edition print and is retailing for SGD$79. As it is limited edition, no 10% discount is applicable.

I bought this pouch to place my Canon 50D (with 18-200mm lens) in it so that the camera can be place in my backpack and still being protected.

There are 3 sizes to the Haven, Small, Medium and Large. Apparently for my Canon 50D, the medium is just nice. If you have a Canon 7D, probably large will suite you better.

Saw the Crumpler Dry Red No. 2 a couple of months back, but it was out of stock island-wide. So when the stock came back in last week, I immediately went down and bought it. I went to VivoCity but they did not have a new piece, so they reserved a new piece for me at their Raffles City branch.

Crumpler Singapore is very active on their Facebook Page, it is so easy to check on stocks and prices, just post on their wall, and they will get back to you within 48 hours! Thumbs up for their customer engagement!

The Crumpler Dry Red No. 2 is retailing for SGD$145 but if you are paying by DBS Live Fresh Credit Card or if you are an EpiCentre member, you get 10% off any purchases. I ended up paying SGD$130.50 for it.

The Crumpler Dry Red No. 2 is a traveling bag with its 3 compartments (Front, Main, Back) secured by zips (which I like) and it is able to fit in an iPad with extra allowance to place other stuff like a digital camera or books. I shall be using it for my US trip next month!

I passed my MacBook Pro 15″ to my brother and will be using my work MacBook Pro 15″ as my “official” laptop and hence I will need to bring it around from my work place back to home and vice versa and needed a bag to hold it.

I am using Fabrix Case‘s MacBook Pro sleeve previously but that sleeves requires one of my hand to hold on to it and since the MacBook Pro is so heavy, I can’t use the hand to hold other stuff while securing my MacBook Pro tight. So I decided to go for a proper working bag which can fit my MacBook Pro as well as some accessories.

Spotted the Dederang Heist (SGD$165) from Crumpler which has a carrying handle and comes with a detachable sling strap. Perfect, exactly what I am looking for! There is a 10% discount for paying with DBS Live Fresh Credit Card. It cost SGD$148.5 after discount.
