The good: Waterproof nylon; reinforced shell; very stylish design.
The bad: A little hard to handle; doesn't rest flat; minimalism might put off hardcore gear-luggers.
The bottom line: With a look as streamlined as the MacBook it's designed to carry, the Lime Drop's got city cool down pat, but don't expect it to do much more than carry your laptop and a few extra iGadgets.
If you own a nice new MacBook or MacBook Pro, it's a safe bet that style matters as much to you as function. Some bag makers--the smart ones--get this about Mac users. Be.ez, makers of the $89 LAbesace Lime Drop (don't ask us how to pronounce that--we have no idea either) shoulder bag, can safely be counted in the former category.

If you own a nice new MacBook or MacBook Pro, it's a safe bet that style matters as much to you as function. Some bag makers--the smart ones--get this about Mac users. Be.ez, makers of the $89 LAbesace Lime Drop (don't ask us how to pronounce that--we have no idea either) shoulder bag, can safely be counted in the former category.
Simple, curved, and nearly seamless, the sleek silvery-gray Lime Drop looks like a messenger bag from "Star Trek." There are no superfluous pockets or tags, not even a logo, creating a uniform unibody look that stylistically matches the aluminum MacBooks to a T. The bag's bottom curves upward, creating a permanent bulge that's intentional: the interior is reinforced to keep the bag's shape intact when carrying peripherals.
Instead of a buckle, the waterproof nylon exterior zips closed (the concealed zipper is waterproof as well). Inside is where its "Lime Drop" name kicks in, as the entire inner lining is made of blindingly bright neon yellow-green material. While very clubber-cool, some old-school and more rugged-going bag aficionados might want something less high-gloss.
