Travelon will be releasing its line of Checkpoint-Friendly travel laptop bags and cases—including the wheeled computer case, computer briefcase, computer backpack, laptop protector, and laptop case—in September and October. The products range in price from $29.99 to $189.99.

The Travelon Checkpoint Friendly Two-Compartment Wheeled Computer Case features a detachable laptop compartment so that travelers can keep their laptop safely inside the case during airport security. It also has a front organizer compartment and a rear compartment with file fans for paperwork. It will retail for $189.99 and will be available in early October.



With three compartments, the Computer Briefcase ($119.99, early October) features a padded laptop compartment (that's detachable from the case), a rear compartment with file fans for paperwork and a front compartment for organization. For the ladies, there's the Ladies Brief ($89.99 early October), which is made of quilted microfiber and also features a removable padded laptop compartment with an organizer.

If you prefer a backpack while traveling, Travelon's Computer Backpack offers a zippered front organizer, a second compartment to hold files, books, and an MP3 player, a mesh pocket to store a water bottle, and a removable padded laptop compartment. Look for it in early October with an MSRP of $109.99.

For those who already own a laptop bag and are simply looking for a checkpoint-friendly laptop case, Travelon offers several models. The first is the Adjustable Laptop Protector ($24.99 early September) that is said to virtually fit all laptop sizes. The other model is the Laptop Sleeve, which comes in small (for up to 10.5-inch laptop screens), medium (up to 15.5 inches), and Large (up to 17 inches). Available at the end of September, they will retail for $29.99, $39.99, and $44.99, respectively.

For all of you who don't want to rush out and spend $100 or more for one of these MAYBE "checkpoint friendly" bags, take a look at LapStrap.

For $25 you can use LapStrap with your existing bag.

Whether you are forced to take your laptop out in a security line, or if you just want to quickly carry your laptop to your next meeting or coffee shop, LapStrap allows you to lightly carry your laptop over your shoulder and frees up both hands.
