A. I hear ya! The stores where you buy your laptops from never seem to carry anything other than the drab black or blue masculine bags, but fortunately designers and companies have started recognizing the lackluster selection and are doing something about it. Scope out the fab bags below, and if you decide to take one home, please tell them BussBuss sent you!

A great place to start your search is at casauri.com, where you can find cute cases in pink, kiwi, red, navy, grape and silver. Fully padded and made of water-resistant polyester, you can choose from bags in a variety of sizes and reasonable prices ($54-$106).

Continue your search at acmemade.com, where you'll find sleek bags in sophisticated leather, funky designer fabrics and simple solid shades. Polka Dot Pink and Green Circles are faves. All bags are lined with quilted satin and have leather handles ($80-$270).

If you're looking for something truly uniquely different, more sporty than designer, scope out everquestdesign.com. Everquest Design crafts limited-edition bags using the actual materials used during some of the most adventurous events in history, such as America's Cup sails and space-mission parachutes. They also offer a personalized laptop bag using your own relics or famous materials ($145-$195).

A great cross between handbag, briefcase and computer bag, mobileedge.com's leather briefcase in red or black is an elegant choice ($279). The faux-croc briefcase in espresso is also fabulously fashionably ($179).

For a delectable mix of girly and functional, check out jzmo.com's Think Pink bag, made of pink leather and suede ($249) -- 100% of the net profits are used to support breast cancer initiatives.

Increasing in price and exquisiteness are Talene Reilly's bags. The Katie bag ($358) has a removable laptop sleeve, two CD pockets, nickel feet and a business card holder. The fabric is Teflon-coated and there's a pocket for your power cord, too. The Reese bag is equally functional and fashionable ($276). Find both at talenereilly.com.

Lastly, and possibly one of the hardest and most costly options to resist, is the Marka collection at markaonline.com. Billed as "luxurious everyday handbags for women who work, travel and lunch," these bags expertly combine fashion and function. Choose from three different styles, the ultimate being the Denyn Sleeve ($355). Sleek and compact, with enough room for your makeup, cell phone, PDA and power cords, the Denyn is made of luxurious quilting with suede trim. Hidden layers of thick foam and sturdy elastic straps keep your laptop safe and secure.
