Hi,

I am a new IPAD2 owner and I am looking for something small to carry my IPad in and maybe my small wallet and keys.

A lot of the bags are black and look lile laptop cases, or business like.

I would like to find something more like a small tote or purse. Any suggestions to get away from the "Man bag" or briefcase looking style?

Thanks for any suggestions.
Katie

sounds like what you need, but a tad expensive!

I just did a similar search and ended up with a medium sized purse/tote by Michael Kors. I also looked at some bags by timbuk2.com and lots of cute stuff (in a range of prices) on etsy.com. Try searching leather tote, laptop tote, and large purse.

thanks for the links.

What do you think of this one? Do you worry about padding?

Vera bradley....fossil...just to name a few!

Why not put it in a sleeve and then put that in any purse you may have. Just a thought.....

just another excuse to buy another handbag or rather if you have to pay for it

Believe it or not my purse is not big enough and I only have 1.

I bought a purple netbook bag so my iPad is in side pocket and all my school planning books go in main part

from Somerset UK on my iPad using IPF app

My daughter gave me a tote bag from Land's End sometime back which I use to carry my stuff around. It has some interior pockets, one of which is just right sized for my iPad 2. Try Googling for 'Land's End' and totes. I think mine is the "Medium Open Top Long Handle Canvas Tote Bag". Very sturdy. P.S. I am a guy and I use it for everything from water bottle to wallet to cell phone, etc., and to my iPad 2.

I have leather bags by Michael Kors, B. Makowsky, Coach and Dooney & Bourke, which I use for work. I use Timbuk2 and LeSportsac bags when I want to go casual. None of the bags I use are designed for iPad; they're just big enough to easily accommodate an iPad in its sleeve.

I haven't always been a fan of the busy Vera Bradley patterns but this bag has to be my all time favorite purse. I wish I could get it in a solid color. The shape and size are perfect for the iPad and it has plenty of inside pockets for phone etc... The handle drop length is perfect to throw over the shoulder with one hand. I can't wait to hear more. I'm always looking for handbags that work with the iPad.

Check out lug bags. They have a lot of options and a very well made

I love that bag,and was looking at the toile print of that new bag from Vera bradley.
Bella Borsa bags r nice,but same price u can get a purse that can be used alone,or doubled with kindle,nook,and iPads ...readers net books n tabs,along w cells
Lmao wat a world
I'm waiting on a beautiful coach from the outlet....I love their bigger bags too

I purchased a really nice Coach purse at my local Outlet mall. It is not too big and has a wide zippered top that allows me to easily put my ipad2, inclosed in it's leather sleve, right in. I really did not want to carry multiple bags and the purse is cute and colorful, not like some of the original ones. I also got a 30% off coupon when I walked in the door

Funny you mentioned that. I've been thinking about going to the Coach Outlet to have a look.

Sadly, I'm unable to find tote bags that are specifically for iPads, so I just use a typical lady's tote bag just large enough to accommodate my iPad and case, as well as the usual asses ties ladies carry in their hand bags.

I bought one at a craft festival and it's an AWESOME bag. Not too expensive, though more expensive that what you'd spend if you bought an average bag at Wal-mart or Target.

They're handmade and VERY sturdy. They use heavy duty upholstery fabrics in really nice designer colors and prints - you wouldn't think they're upholstery fabrics when you look at them. They're very roomy and cute and would easily fit an iPad and many other items. And they don't look handmade at all! No one believed me when I told them I purchased mine from a craft festival.

Basically ANY sturdy bag works for me,I prefer a side zipper where it fits the pad and it's cover.However,since it's covered I have thrown it in my totes,leather bags,etc...I do not have just one bag called the iPad bag Right now I'm using my fossil cross body bag,the pad fits right in there if I want to take it out.I more often take my nook out though.....lol

I have a zippered padded sleeve for my Ipad2 (that will be here Thursday, finally) that will fit in my Coach bag. I do the same right now with my Kindle. This way it doesn't scream Kindle or Ipad, it is protected and I have my usual stuff in my purse.

When I need a new bag, be it a Vera Bradley or Coach--love the outlet stores, I make sure I will have the Ipad with me so it will fit in the bag--until Coach has a Ipad cover --that I will probably buy, especially if it is pink or purple.

I also bought a really cute skin, which I will post, once my Ipad gets here. I have been having fun accessorizing my Ipad, which hasn't even arrived yet. My husband doesn't understand how jazzed I am about this.
