Tom Bihn adds laptop bags for new 15-inch MacBook Pros to their catalog

I am a huge Tom Bihn fan. This is a company that listens to its customers and makes some great products. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Today, Tom Bihn announced sizes of their Checkpoint Flyer checkpoint friendly laptop briefcase and Brain Cell laptop case specifically for the new 15-inch MacBook Pro.

If you’re not familiar with the Checkpoint Flyer Briefcase, watch the video embedded here. It is the first airport security “checkpoint friendly” bag designed specifically for Mac laptops.

The Brain Cell is a laptop sleeve designed to be used alone or clipped securely inside a variety of Tom Bihn bags. Brain Cell compatibility in a Tom Bihn bag means that you will not just have your laptop held securely during transit, it also means if you buy a new laptop of a different size, you need only update the Brain Cell to make it fit in your bag!

The Checkpoint Flyer sells for USD$220 USD (including laptop insert). The Brain Cell (Size 4Z) sells for USD$60. Both are available for pre-order from the Tom Bihn website and ship by late November.

Gets you through checkpoints with ease.My favorite laptop bag designer, TOM BIHN, has introduced the Checkpoint Flyer Laptop Briefcase, a new briefcase-style laptop bag designed to be “checkpoint friendly” and with a highly protective compartment for your laptop.

More than just made to fit in an airplane’s overhead compartment, The Checkpoint Flyer Laptop Briefcase is the result of an intensive, five-month design challenge issued by the TSA (Transportation Security Administration) to design a laptop bag that meets its newly implemented “checkpoint friendly” program guidelines. The new case provides the TSA with a clear, unobstructed x-ray view of the laptop in the bag without sacrificing organizational pockets and clean design.

A molded foam laptop compartment within the Checkpoint Flyer completely encases a laptop in 8mm-thick closed cell foam, available in three sizes designed specifically to fit the 13″ MacBook and MacBook Air, 15.4″ MacBook Pro, and 17″ MacBook Pro.

The Checkpoint Flyer Laptop Briefcase is available for pre-order through the TOM BIHN web site and ships by late September. It sells for USD$220 and is available in three colors.
