Custom Waterfield Bag for the Sony Vaio Z2 series computer. This bag fits the Sony Z2 like a glove. And the accessory bag can handle the Power Media Dock and the large power supply. These are available through SFBags.com.

Once an Apple product rolls out, naturally accessories will follow. The Magic TrackPad is already getting this treatment with the WaterField protective socket and slip products. Following Apple's style lead, the WaterField cases are simple. The Trackpad Slip case features ballistic nylon with soft inner padding, with six shades (black, copper, pine, green, flame and pearl) to choose from for the lining. The Trackpad Socket is definitely the more minimalist option being a basic soft, padded pouch in black. Both of the custom-fitted WaterField cases for the TrackPad start shipping today, with the Socket selling for US$12 and Slip going for US$25.

The company that makes my favorite case for the Macbook Air, Waterfield Designs, is rolling out a new service to outfit any device with the Ultimate SleeveCase. This service is a great solution to protect any tablet you might have, no matter what tablet it is. The ballistic nylon case with neoprene interior already fits a number of popular tablets including the Lenovo ThinkPad, Samsung Galaxy Tab, Nook Color, BlackBerry Playbook, Asus Eee Pad, and the iPad. If you want to hug your tablet with a custom fit case that will fit to within a quarter of an inch, then just send the dimensions to the company and they will make it for you. The Tablet Ultimate SleeveCase starts at $52. Larger tablets may require the $55 or $57 model. For one with D-rings to use with your own shoulder strap add $5. For a basic shoulder strap add $12 and $22 for the padded strap. For the iPad version expect to pay $55. To contact them about a custom case, send an email to [email protected].

Looking for a sleek high profile case for your laptop? Well check out this amazing SleeveCase from Waterfield Designs. With over 100 different sizes you’re sure to find a sleeve for just about any laptop. The one in this review is holding a Macbook Pro 17″. It also sports a neat back pocket thats very convenient for extra gadgets while on the go. Where Waterfield Designs really stands out is material quality and design – for this alone we highly recommend the Laptop SleeveCase.

And no need to take your laptop out of its snug compartment when going through airport security—it’s TSA Checkpoint Friendly.

The Apple TV case form Waterfield Designs will hold the device in addition to HDMI cable, power cord, and remote. The accessories have their own pocket for organization and to prohibit scratching. If a case for an Apple TV seems odd, keep in mind that the Apple TV can link up to an iOS device for some interesting things. With the introduction of iOS 5, the iPad 2 and Apple TV can do desktop mirroring wirelessly via AirPlay. That would make for a pretty killer presentation solution when patched into projector with HDMI input. Presenters could walk freely with an iPad 2 and do their thing as their apps are displayed fully on the screen. The Apple TV case is available now for $45 and comes in Silver or Tangerine.

WaterField Designs announces a new Large SleeveCase for the Kindle(TM), which holds and protects the Kindle(TM) while in its issued case. Additionally, WaterField Designs now offers a removable Shoulder Strap for the Large and Small SleeveCase for the Kindle(TM) and the Travel Case for the Kindle(TM). SleeveCases for the Kindle(TM), the Travel Case for the Kindle(TM) and the Slip Case for the Kindle(TM) are all custom-fitted to the Amazon Kindle(TM) dimensions. Each offers stylish protection and accessibility. The Large SleeveCase for the Kindle(TM) protects the Amazon Kindle(TM) with high-grade neoprene; a sturdy, black, ballistic nylon shell; and a lightly padded closing flap. A rear, open-top pocket stows items such as the USB cable and ear buds. A subtle grey-black checked fabric trims the bottom of the case.

The point of this blog post series (and past series) is “no laptops allowed,” and I sure don’t want you to replace a laptop with five pounds of accessories. Besides the three items for presenting, I always carry around the following items: BlackBerry PlayBook tablet charger (doubles as a rapid charger for your BlackBerry smartphone), small USB charger, USB cable, headphones, tablet pen, portable stand, and the BlackBerry Presenter. I know that some of you will ask, “Why would you carry the BlackBerry Presenter when you can present from the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet?” As I said, it’s all about preparation, and you just never know. This is a lot of small loose items to be carrying around, but all of this fits in an easy to carry “Gear Pouch”.

This MacBook Air Smart Case sports luxurious padding to keep your 11- or 13-inch MacBook Air snug and secure, yet quickly accessible. No visible stitching on the outer, water-resistant nylon, and distressed brown leather trim keeps the case looking sleek and smooth. All Smart Cases come with a low-profile, stretchable pocket that can hold your power adapter and cables. The Waterfield MacBook Air Smart Case is a truly amazing product packed with simplicity making it the ideal case for at home or on the go.
