Tom Bihn Synapse

Instead of a device-specific padded compartment, the Synapse offers a place to put your sleeve-encased iPad or 13-inch (or smaller) laptop, making it a versatile daypack-sized backpack. Throw in quality materials and construction, as well as a clever design, and you get a standout bag for those of us blessed with both an iPad and a laptop.

Incase Travel Kit Plus

The Travel Kit Plus is an impressive pack that makes it simple to tote the essentials for on-the-go typing: your iPad, Apple's Bluetooth keyboard, and a few accessories. It even includes a useful portable iPad stand. Its biggest limitation is that its bulk makes it awkward to fit inside other bags, but it's not quite big enough to hold documents on its own.

WaterField Designs iPad Wallet

Waterfield's iPad Wallet is a surprisingly minimal iPad case with a vertical messenger design and a second interior pocket for bringing along Apple's Wireless Keyboard. Some design quirks can make the bag clunky to work with at times, but it's an otherwise solid case for iPad road warriors.

Loopbag Transit iPad Case

The Loopbags Transit iPad Case is built well, though it's a better fit for netbooks than for the iPad. A unique, though perhaps gimmicky, design sets it apart from the crowd.

M-Edge Accessories Journey Bag for Apple iPad

M-Edge's Journey Bag for the iPad offers a good storage-to-price ratio and a separate, zippered compartment for storing your iPad. But some odd design choices and a lack of internal pockets may disappoint those who want to keep small gadgets and trinkets organized on-the-go.

STM Scout Extra Small Laptop Shoulder Bag

STM's Scout Extra Small Laptop Shoulder Bag is well-built, but since it was originally designed for comparatively thicker netbooks, its main compartment is too deep for an iPad. It also suffers from some odd design choices.

Kensington Sling Bag (9"-10")

The Sling Bag is a decent iPad and netbook bag at a rock-bottom price. It offers a smaller form factor over traditional notebook bags, but has enough extra room for a couple magazines or a book. Thanks to a few design flaws, though, you can do much better if you spend just $10 to $20 more.

Timbuk2 Slingshot Netbook Case

This minimal case carries some of Timbuk2's signature charms, such as an adjustable shoulder strap and a loop for hooking a keychain carabiner or bike helmet. But sub-par construction and storage pockets don't do it any favors.
