Anybody heard of a mini briefcase?

[Daniel Koster]

I'm looking for one - needs to be around 12"x9"x2" in size but no larger.

Thanks for the help.

Will you need it for paperwork or for gear?

 

[Trojanargus]

You could try Pelican cases (Peli cases,Torrance CA) They do loads of different sizes and for many applications. Strong and waterproof.
I have on similar to the size you wnat except its 5" deep. Its called a 1200 case

 

[Mr.BadExample]

A travel humidor might also fit that size.

There are cheaper models than that, shop around- some are even free with $20 worth of cigars.

That's what I was going to recommend if you're carrying gear. Trojanargus beat me to it.

wow.....y'all are quite creative-minded. great suggestions - got me thinking.


I need something more tote-ish, though....to carry my planner, phone, keys, coupla knives , watch, light, etc.

I like the wood box idea....maybe I could outfit one with a nice handle, lock and corner protectors......like I said - got me thinking....


Keep the ideas coming...



What I need is a business tote, etc. I just want a smaller one - did the big leather tote thing for way too long. Time to go minimalist.

I bet you can find a nice messenger bag that size, in your choice of leather, vinyl, nylon, or canvas -- if you look in the right place. In with the women's purses....

There are two ways to do it. Either you tell everyone you see in a loud voice, "My wife is having a birthday and she wants a black or brown messenger bag 12x9x2 inches. I don't even know what a messenger bag is -- please help me!" -- or else you do your shopping in drag.

Try Eagle Creek or a travel store like Magellans.

Sound like all you need is a laptop sleeve.

I traded in my Tumi Organizer briefcase for a Fatboy. Maybe that would work for you?

 

[Shann]

Sounds like the tool "box" that our computer repairman carrier. Its leather\pleather about the size of a thick notebook. He got it at Staples.

Here's a "SECRET AGENT LAPTOP CASE" from County Comm..............that just screams manly.

http://www.countycomm.com/subguncase.htm

They also have a few other items that may work, both under "tactical nylon gear" and "pelican hard cases"

[Daniel Koster]

Yeah....I like Cougar's idea of sneaking into the ladies dressing room and yelling in a loud voice too.....

...or did I read that wrong?







looked at the nylon tact stuff - great ideas there.

eaglecreek - great stuff there too.....was hoping for some leather, though....

duluthtrading, countrycomm & chapmann - too big...


Got some great suggestions though - might end up making my own based on some of the ideas here. (just too overloaded to do it right now)

I found these at the TAD site, thought you may be interested.

 

[tonyccw]

How about Rhinoskin Sportcase 400. 10.5"X8.5"x2". It's very well made. I have one to carry my NEC MobilePro 880 Handheld PC. And only $20.00.

 

[Daniel Koster]

I was interested in the Traverse TAD - but it's sold out....



tonyccw - I like that Rhinoskin.....can you do me a favor? what are the inside "clear" dimensions?

Thanks!

Very close to the OD, only about 1/8" smaller. The sides are flexible so it can conform around the item.
