I knew the second I saw Fab's rundown on the envelope bag that I'd need to upgrade my tech wardrobe.

Check out these five that will inspire your fashionable side.

Puffy Gadget Sleeves and Backpacks: Love 'Em or Leave 'Em?
It seems that the puffy jackets you used to wear as a kid are being reincarnated as gadget sleeves and backpacks. While I'm not sure the puffy sleeve look is office-worthy, it is fun. Check out the latest lineup of colorful puffed up iPad sleeves and backpacks, and tell me if you love them, or if you could do without.
Elegant Handmade Sleeves For the iPad and MacBook Air
Slip your favorite new gadget into a chic wooden sleeve this Winter with one of these handmade beauties from Nedrelow. Made in three different sizes from 100 percent wool, the sleeves are hand-sewn to provide a snug fit.
Choose from a top-loading or side-loading sleeve for your iPad; MacBook Air Sleeves for both the 11- and 13-inch Airs are side-loading only. All three are available in charcoal or oatmeal colors; the iPad sleeve is also available in (my favorite) orange.
Bonus: the 13-inch sleeve will fit your 13-inch MacBook, too.
Dress Your Gadgets in Vintage Designs
Add some vintage geek to your new devices with one of the smartly designed clever canvas cases by Thomas Paul. The Obsolete But Neat Laptop Case ($60) fits laptops up to 13 inches and zips closed to protect it. The Obsolete But Neat Tablet Case ($40) is an envelope-style pouch for your iPad or other tablet device. At 11.5 x 8 inches, the tablet case seals with velcro.
Finally, the Synth You've Been Gone MP3 Player Case ($27) is decked out with an image of an old school synthesizer and sized to fit your iPod.
