Everyone has different needs. I don't carry a purse, as it can't fit all the things I need to carry for my daytime or nighttime use. Instead I have turned to a backpack.
A back pack that can carry my computer, its power cord. A backpack that has a zippered pocket to carry a water bottle i can fill at home. One that has great pockets for little things like change, car keys and small stuff. It also has to be strong and light weight, but have comfortable straps that are adjustable.
Comfort is key in wearing a backpack.Also have a handle to hold it, when you need it right by your side to grab something inside. A pocket for your cell phone
also a bit of waterproofing in the pockets. After all I do live on a boat and water is my enemy<VBG>
So I started my search for a back pack that would fit all my needs. First I went to Jansport.com http://www.jansport.com/
I went to Jansport, as they have the largest selection of bags in the US, Canada and World wide, and are available at most retail stores almost anywhere.
I went thru the selection of back packs and read the descriptions of what each did, what amounts they held, the size of pockets, inner and outer compartments, zippered and non zippered compartments, back pack with holders for computers, cell phones, ones bottom of the pile to top of the heap.
I found one that suited all my needs, it was a nice mid priced (at $40) and came in some nice colors that were acceptable.
I then went to next-tag http://www.nexttag.com/ This site allowed me to compare prices at both retail outlets i could drive to, or computer outlets and stores on line i could purchase on line from.
I also found other bags sources on line to check thru nexttag. I found another great source called E-bags http://www.ebags.com/ This was everything you can imagine.
Not just backpacks (the largest retail section on line) but also purses, messenger bags and any style of bag you need. From the fanciest purse from designers to the plain ordinary messenger bag to a computer bag for the purest in backpacks.
After this I narrowed my search to price and type of bag I wanted.
I had chosen a type of bag, to suit my needs and a model,style and color. I was not closed on color btw, I didn't mind any color. But my price was firm, I had only $40 to spend. The bag had to carry my laptop computer, so it had to have a place and room for the laptop, my cords (power and dc type cords) and be cushioned well. I also needed a compartment for my cell phone, its power cords and dc adaptors. I needed a place to stow my wallet and change purse. I wanted a spot to hang up my keys on the inside, but handy to get at fast.
Well I found the bag. After an extensive Internet search, i found my bag at target. They had them only thru the Internet sales, and it came with free shipping to my area. I ordered it..
I looked on targets site for its SSL (secured server) to make sure my identity from my credit card was safe, so i used a credit card to purchase it.
Its a great bag and so far is doing a great job.
Depending on how many sites you choose to look at, to compare prices of the item you wish to purchase,is up to you. But make sure when you purchase you do this:
1. Check out the manufacturer warrenty
2. Checking out of the site to pay, always look for the SSL (secured server id)
3. Make sure you have the correct address to send your purchase
4. When you recieve the new item, save the reciept and make a copy to put in a safe place too!
5. Fill out the warrenty information and send it in immediatly. If there is no card go on line and find the warrenty information and fill it in and send it to the company thru their website.
6. Make sure you use your new purchase, as the directions state, if it states this product hold no more than 20lbs, dont over load it, you can violate the warrenty.
7. Enjoy your purchase.
