Bag Review Guidelines

It's thanks to you designers that we all look a little cooler lugging our technology around. I want to feature as many laptop bags, totes and sleeves as I can.

There are progressively more complicated steps you can take to get a review. They are as follows:

1. Email me! Super-easy - we've made contact and I put you into my queue. Warning: this queue is very long. It helps if you can write something snappy about your bag or sleeve.

 

1. Once we've made contact, it helps if you pull together and email a media kit (or a link to an online media kit) about the sleeve or bag you'd like to have featured. That saves me a LOT of time in trying to find all the specs and capture the product shots. Great photography is important. Inside and outside shots, if possible. The more detail you can provide, the easier it is for me to write the review.

 

1. Send a review copy of the bag or sleeve. I put it to the test and then I write a review. (Note: I don't return review bags or sleeves (unless its like an "art piece" or something :)). Please note, it generally takes 6 weeks from the time I receive the bag to the time a review appears. This allows me time to try out the bag, plus accommodates my work and travel schedule. I love testing and trying bags, but it is not yet my day job :)

My review policy: I will give preference in my review queue to a designer who sends a laptop bag or sleeve. I feel that's fair. Why? Well, it's a bigger commitment on the part of the designer and to me that's a reflection of their customer service which, to me, is just as important as the bag. And also, it's easier to review something you can touch. That being said, if you don't want to send a bag or a sleeve, it's totally fine. The specs and photos in Step 2 are paramount, then.

Transparency for My Readers: I will always state if I have received a review copy of a laptop bag or sleeve.

If you have any questions, I'm happy to answer them!
