Also impressed with Waterfield Designs' Keyboard Travel Case

Although a bit spendy $49 plus tax and shipping, I am pleasantly surprised with the quality of Waterfield Design's Keyboard Travel Case. Now I have one compact (not small), well designed bag to carry all my bluetooth keyboard, and MacBook and iPad accessories. (If it was smaller, it wouldn't carry everything I want it to.)

Waterfield's brochures proudly proclaim "No mass production or overseas workforce. WaterField bags are designed and made in San Francisco, where rent is high, labor is expensive and competition is intense. We wouldn’t go anywhere else!" Kudos to them! Made in America is quite rare these days and we can kiss the American middle class goodbye if we don't restore our domestic manufacturing/job base. They also sign each invoice with a personal note - a nice touch.

While I am very happy with my be.ez La Robe MacBook Pro sleeve, I'm kind of sad I didn't decide to spend more and get the Waterfield Sleeve Case. Ditto for my neoprene iPad sleeve.

Indeed, Waterfield designs makes really great stuff. I've been using their Cargo for three years and it still looks new. Guess it's time to check out a case for my keyboard now.
