STM Laptop Shoulder/Messenger Bags

How to Choose the Right STM Laptop Bag

It's always wise to keep your laptop, tablet, or notebook protected as you carry it, and one way to do this is by keeping it safe inside an STM laptop bag. Not only are these bags sturdy, but they offer an aesthetically pleasing way to transport your computer from one place to another.

What Are Some Features of STM Bags?

There are a couple of types of STM bags, including shoulder and messenger designs. One difference between the two is that a shoulder bag goes over one shoulder, like a purse or tote would, while a messenger has a long strap that enables you to carry the laptop across your body, distributing weight evenly and giving you access to your device when needed.

  • Padding on the shoulder straps and handles make it comfortable to carry this type of protective gear. Straps are made of lightweight material that's soft to the touch but heavy duty enough to safely stow your laptop inside.
  • All of these storage options have a main compartment, and some laptop bags have smaller compartments and storage spaces for peripherals and accessories, such as a mouse, pens and pencils, your smartphone, or flash drives.
  • When you travel frequently and take your laptop with you, a luggage pass-through feature comes in handy as you can use this to quickly install your bag onto a rolling luggage cart for ease as you travel through the airport.

What Are Laptop Bags Made Of?

The brand's laptop shoulder bags are made from a few different materials and fabrics. These materials combine to create a bag that is not only sturdy and functional but blends in with your own style aesthetic to complement your everyday look.

  • Polyester is used in some models to add water resistance and other durability qualities.
  • Canvas or coated canvas is another material that the brand uses to make these accessories, and coated fabric resists water and moisture to keep your machine safe even on a wet or snowy day.
  • For a lightweight feel, opt for a cargo bag made of nylon. Nylon may feel like it doesn't have much heft to it, but it is surprisingly tough and resists wear and tear.

What Are Some Bags to Select From?

When you're looking for the perfect bag, there are several factors to consider that include the fabric, the size of the bag, and the color.

  • The Alley S model is a 13-inch messenger option that features thick, padded straps and fits a smaller notebook computer.
  • For a roomier bag, the Radial messenger fits a 15-inch laptop. It comes in assorted colors, like blue or red, and features an adjustable strap, a cable-ready system that lets you charge and organize devices on the go, and a water-resistant exterior.
  • Opt for a shoulder bag when you select the vertical Linear bag that holds a 13-inch device. It's compact, made from polyester, comes in different color options, and has numerous pockets as well as a luggage pass-through feature.
