Organizational Porn: Redmaloo's Laptop Cable Clutch

Organizational Porn: Redmaloo's Laptop Cable Clutch

Those sleek little laptop sleeves I love so much? Great for going to an office or a coffee shop and back home again, but what about when you're traveling and need your power cord and accessories? I always take care to put my laptop in a bag, tucked away all secure, but when it comes to my cord and other peripherals I need to take with me, I unceremoniously toss them wherever they'll fit. This does nothing for my organizational needs! But this does: it turns out that Redmaloo, the makers of that really cool felt folding laptop case, make a companion piece: a cord and accessories clutch!

The case fits a mouse and your power block and cable snugly, and comes in pink, lime, orange, and gray, so you can mix or match with their laptop cases (not that you need it to buy this, obviously). Another suggestion they have to justify that $52 price tag? That you can use it as a clutch purse after you take your geek-cessories out. Ahh, practicality.

That's idiotic. So you're supposed to put a laptop in a sleeve, the geegaw in this thing, and put them both in another bag which also holds your phone, wallet and keys? If you're going on such an involved trek that you simply must take the power block and the friggin' mouse (for a laptop? and for a Macbook with a massive smart trackpad?), you just put everything—laptop, peripherals, wallet and phone—in a proper laptop bag. The point of organizing is *not* to have a bunch of different little bags to keep track of.

It's really unnerving how you obsess over Apple products and Blackberries over here. Apple doesn't rule the world, fortunately, so showing more non-Apple-centric products would be nice.

ALSW- yep its too small for me too. My power block alone is probably as big as the whole bag...

But then I'd have to carry this too. And the price tag is a bit much.

I bought a Tucano sleeve for my laptop that came with a pouch for my cords (fits my charger, mouse, iPod cord & my memory card reader comfortably... could probably fit more stuff inside if I tried) but this is cute! But yeah, $52 is kind of ridiculous.

I definitely think it's far too much money for something that size. In addition, the actual measurements make me think it would be a tight squeeze to get anything more than my main power cable in it. Personally, I bought a great messenger-style laptop bag that came with a small clutch pouch for my cords. The whole thing was only $35, comes in gorgeous colours and, and has a lifetime warranty against defects.

it's great, way too expensive though! I can't justify spending that much for something that little.

a clutch purse? hmm. i don't know if it looks nice enough for that - but i could see one using it as such if you were on a trip and didn't want to bring much with you. this looks really practical and cute, too.

Oh, this is wonderful! I love my computer bags to be super-organized.

Ooooo I like this a lot. I usually justbunch up the cables in the laptop sleeve since my laptop is only 12 inches and I have a 15 inch case, but this is so much better

Ohhhh, I love it! Another one of those "duh" ideas - why didn't I come up with that stuff. $52 bucks though. Dang..I need an inexpensive college version. Perhaps an old, unused clutch of my own, haha.

I like it. I have that one bag that fits JUST the laptop, so I don't know what to do with the cables. I have a wristlet that carries them, but I would like something different.

i like. it's cute and i love the bright orange color. my cables are usually neat in my bag but they would look so much better in this cute clutch.

Ooooo, that's cute! I usually just stick all that in one of the outside pockets of my Coach laptop tote, but I want that. Maybe pink?
