When you think laptop bag, you envision the different kinds available. The most popular design for laptop bags is the briefcase. It fits people who lug their laptop to the office. It is structured with a handheld handle and a detachable shoulder strap. The messenger bag laptop carrier is less structured and is usually carried across the shoulder via a long strap.

You will often see students pull out their laptops from their backpacks. These are not your regular backpacks; these are specifically made for the laptop. But they adapted the convenience of carrying the bag at the back, hanging from one or two straps that go over the shoulder. The laptop sleeves are the least protective of the different kinds of laptop. Made of not so thick material, usually fabric, it only has a thin padding between the laptop and the outside world.
