Booq Boa Push ($89)
The main inner pocket also has exposed corners on the top and bottom, leaving a naked iPad at risk to a sudden downpour. Similarly, a stylishly sewn front iPhone pocket leaves smartphones too exposed on a subway, and the two slim pockets--one inside, one on the back--are barely large enough for a Moleskin notebook. Forget about carrying any power adapters. It is comfy, though: the seatbelt-nylon strap rests nicely on the shoulder and lies flat on the sides of the bag. Make the Push slightly bigger next time, and we have a winner.

Tom Bihn Ristretto for iPad ($110)
Another front pocket and several zippered subcompartments can hold an iPhone and far more--on a recent press event we mananged to fit an iPad, an 11.6-inch Netbook, a camera, a USB dock, and our wallet and keys. Multiple rings and clips hold key chains or separately sold zipper wallets. A thick shoulder pad isn't easily adjustable and the metal side buckles are prone to squeaking, but this is the most versatile and non-embarrassing iPad bag we've yet encountered.

Tom Bihn Co-Pilot ($110)
Three front compartments are oddly aligned, but are meant to hold gear in the two side multipockets and a water bottle/umbrella in the vertical center pocket--a small hole in the bottom is meant to help with moisture drainage. A back pouch can hold a boarding pass/magazine, but it also unzips on the bottom to become a strap for attaching to the handle of larger wheeled luggage. The bag's undoubtedly practical and spacious, but perhaps better left for frequent fliers.
