The Brenthaven MacBook Messenger bag allows you, the customer, to design your own messenger bag. You can choose from more than ten designs to personalize the front flap.
Wait, it gets better.
You get two different designs, one for each side of the flap. Allowing you to change sides depending on your outfit! It’s almost like getting two bags for the price of one ($129.95). The bags fit the 13-inch MacBook Pro and 15-inch MacBook Pro.

The Brenthaven MacBook bag is nicely made from high quality vinyl. The bag has enough padding to support a linebacker. The extended pads on the back of the bag are sweat-proof and provide a nice buffer between the bag and your body.
This MacBook bag has pockets galore of all sizes. Some have zippers. Not one side of the bag is spared a pocket of some sort. You would think with all of its compartments that this bag would be big — but it’s suprisingly compact.
The adjustable shoulder strap is ergonomically padded and has a clever earbud management system.
To get additional looks, just reuse the base and purchase additional flaps for $29.95. To change your daily look, you simply flip the flap and clip it. The velcro strip and two small clips do a fine job of securing the flap.
I don’t see the average guy, whom this bag is aimed at, changing the flaps very often though. Only when the flap is completely covered with filth will it be flipped over. It’s more of a chick thing to accesorize your outfit, but Brenthaven only offers three female options. I totally get this though because most gals don’t like messenger-style bags.
Brenthaven prides itself on cases that achieve “zero impact” on your computer, your health and on the environment — or so the company claims. This “green” company based in Washington, offers a lifetime guarantee on all of their products.
