Krusell, maker of nice affordable cases for PDA's, Smartphones and MP3 players has just launched a new line of Laptop cases. The cases are being launched in their Orange and Purple label series.

For purposes of this review, I will be looking at the new "Radical Messenger Bag" which is part of the Orange Label design. With all the great case makers out there focusing on our smaller, hand held devices - it is nice to see one of the big names take a chance on a really nice Laptop case. So, is this the case for your new machine? Read on for my thoughts.

Krusell is a Swedish design company renowned world-wide for its craftsmanship and quality. The brand’s backbone is an extensive line of high quality leather cases and other accessories for mobile phones, PDA's, MP3-players and digital cameras that combine stylish and functional design with the finest materials and detailing.

Krusell does not only rapidly adopt trends in portable electronics but also takes inspiration from the fashion industry as well as ideas created by society itself.

Krusell employs local craftsmen to design products that bring together function, fashion and the right materials.

The Krusell system of finding the right case is a little confusing with the various "Labels" to navigate on the web site. This is certainly not the most user friendly of sites. That being said, it is worth the slight inconvenience to find the right case, because Krusell cases are well designed and crafted and the give you a good case for a great price.

The "Official line" on the new Radical Messenger Bag reads as follows:

This colorful and fashionable messenger bag, suitable for laptops up to 15, 4” is a perfect every-day bag for the youthful personality on the move!

The Swedish company Krusell, which produces and design cases for portable electronics, launches its first Laptop collection in our Purple and Orange Label. The collection will include two different styles, the Radical messenger bag and the Breeze laptop bag.  
 
- With our first collection for laptop, we will further extend our target market and sales channels around the world.
