I love my "ladies' briefcase" that could double as a laptop case if I just had a padded sleeve for the laptop (I've seen them NEW ranging from $20 at Wal*Mart to $40 or $50 discounted at Ross Dress For Less - original price supposed to be about $80 to $100).
It holds my wallet, checkbook, tablet/ereader, cell phone, papers without folding them into quarters, and the like quite handily. The $7 one came with a matching wallet (that I donated to a fund raiser) because it just didn't have enough card slots or a checkbook holder.....
I like it so much that I am looking for another one in something other than BLACK to use this summer.
I found a black one this morning at the same Goodwill where I found the first one, but it reeks of cigarette smoke to the point that I was smelling it three feet away before I picked it up to look at it......too bad, I liked the way that it was organized even better.....
But once I opened it up to look at it (outer compartment, three full sized inner compartments, cell phone pocket + two larger ones in the next compartment, and credit card & ID slots), I realized that the thing reeked inside and was the source of the odor.....and I don't smoke. The smell would have made it unusable in short order...... But it was so "perfectly" organized, that I just couldn't take the brown leather one next to it instead......
If it can't be washed - the odor of cigarette smoke can't easily be removed.....and this felt like real leather.....
I plan to go back next week, I'm looking for some odds & ends to finish putting together a Renn Faire outfit......
