The Bottom Line: We like a lot about the Mobile Edge Element: its sophisticated design is far more fashionable than your standard-issue black nylon bag, and its many pockets are useful for staying organized on the road. But it's best when carried briefcase-style, which may be too heavy for some women.

Specs: Gray, 2.5 lbs
