Apple iPads are all the rage these days. It seems like a lot of people either have one or secretly want to get one for Christmas. If you know someone who already has one, I’ve got a great holiday gift idea for you. Why not gift them with a iPad bag to help them tote it around in? While the iPad is traditionally on the pricey side, you don’t have to spend a lot of on a trendy iPad bag that they’ll like. I found six that are all under $200 each.

What’s even better is that a few of these bags don’t look like a traditional messenger-like bag, like other iPad bags that I’ve seen online. They look like trendy totes. Just take a peek at my #4 – #6 picks. They’ll fit any fashionista. Guys will love the black and white Trends iPad bag. Would you believe that it’s made out of recycled tires?! Stylish and eco-friendly…a definite win-win!

These six iPad bags are perfect for use whether you’re traveling across country or across town. Haven’t bought an iPad yet? No may be a good time as any to invest in one.

1. License, $49

The built-in padded lid pocket with Velcro straps closure is custom designed to fit and protect your iPad while traveling. What’s more inside are the compartments and pockets that made home for your iPad* accessories and other i-gadgets. If you need additional space for some other personal stuffs, you can expand the depth of the bag simply by unzipping the zipper along the side and that will give you one extra inch of room almost from top to bottom. The large zip pocket on the front (vertical) and back (horizontal) are perfect for your “quick reach” items.

The holiday travel season kicks off in just a few weeks. The Wednesday before Thanksgiving is traditionally the busiest travel day of the year. Airports, train stations and the highways will be packed with travelers who are eager to reach their family in time for the big turkey dinner. Traveling during this season can either be a positive or a negative experience. You can’t always control gridlock but you can easily control how your clothes and other valuables are stored when you keep them in sturdy luggage. There’s nothing more annoying than owning luggage that doesn’t zip, lock or one without wheels. Having a bag like this can be a living nightmare for your trip.
