Pacific Design has just launched a new collection of laptop bags, which includes two variants: the backpack version and the Messenger bag version. Both variants have a stylish design and guarantee maximum protection for your laptop. In addition, the Ruckus collection's innovative design makes this line of laptop bags up to 30 percent lighter than similar laptop bags.

All bags feature an ergonomic shoulder strap and multiple storage compartments, including a protective iPod/MP3 player pocket, and if you register your Ruckus product at www.pacificdesign.com, you'll receive a free removable iPod/cellphone pouch.

Ruckus Laptop backpacks and messenger bag come in four different color combinations: olive/bold black/super yellow; rose white/granite gray/posey pink; bold black/slate gray/pearl gray, and coming in March 2007, slate gray/sand/tiger orange.

Both bag styles are available at: www.pacificdesign.com, www.ebags.com and at www.cdw.com respectively for $69.95 (backpack) and $59.95 (messenger bag) and will be available at Staples stores in January 2007.

Pacific Design has also a line of really nice PSP cases, also available on their site for $19.95.
