I love the Waterfield iPod gear pouch, laptop sleeve, etc. If I needed anything else along those lines I'd certainly get more of their stuff.

I think this is the very best way to handle bags of any sort for me. Whether I'm packing to travel or just packing for the daily grind, it's the most efficient and easiest way to handle "stuff."

What I figured out (for me, at least) after buying way too many laptop bags, attaches, travel cases, etc. is that if they have lots of organizing pockets and pouches built in they are NEVER configured in a way that's practical for me, and I end up moving stuff from one place to the next trying to get it to work better, and finally tossing it in loose.

Getting a bag that only has one or two compartments and then using my own individual pouches works MUCH better. Plus those bags usually way less than the ones that have all the sewn-in pockets and pouches.

In fact, I guess this is similar, though it's a different kind of "bag organizing."

I have some pics on dotmac of how I pack to travel:

Whether we're talking travel or daily, what I've learned is that stuff kept in its proper stuff-bags takes up less space and is easier to deal with. Stuff that is loose expands, gets lost, and is a royal pain in the ass.
