Timbuk2 is having their end of season sale of up to 50% off selected products.
I bought the Timbuk2 Showdown Laptop Backpack for US$44 (S$60).
Last November, when I was traveling to Munich, Germany, for the launch of the Huawei Mate 9, I met Kien Lee, who is the founder of Senatus.
He recommended me the Pacsafe Venturesafe 325 GII Anti-Theft Cross Body Pack. At that time, I wasn’t looking for a new travel bag as I was using the Crumpler Bag Dry Red No. 2 Sling Bag for most of my travelings.

The Magnat Carrier Bag contains the Magnat Board as well as pockets for other gadgets and a 13″ laptop.
It measure 38.1 x 25.4 x 6.35 (cm) and weighs about 800g. It comes in seven colors (black+black, black+yellow, blue+red, blue+lightblue, brown+orange, champagne+green and grey+pink) and is retailing for US$79.90 (S$104).
The Creative Sound Blaster Roar carry-bag is retailing for S$19 and is only available exclusive at Creative Stores. I got mine for free as it comes along with the Creative Sound Blaster Roar that I bought at Sitex 2014.
I am not very impressed with the quality of the bag. Because it is a fabric mesh (net), there are a lot of loose threads that came off when I opened the packaging. It also feels very cheaply made. If it comes along as a free gift, then it is fine. Don’t bother paying S$19 for it. I rather you save the money and get a better alternative bag.
Timbuk2 was having a 25% off all backpacks (including custom ones) and I could not resist the sale and hence I got myself a Custom Swig Laptop Backpack since I do not have one.
The original price was US$124 (S$144) and after 25% discount, it became US$93 (S$116). Shipping is additional US$35 (S$44) via UPS International Expedited. After everything the backpack cost about US$128 (S$160) which is still about S$40 cheaper than getting it from Timbuk2 Singapore Store.
