Everyone seems to have a netbook these days. They are a portable, lightweight, easy way to stay connected when you are on the go. Though you can usually slip your netbook into a handbag or tote, you might also want a bag specifically designed to carry and protect your little computer.

Skooba Design has created a line of messenger bags that are perfect for carrying a netbook. These bags measure only about 14 inches wide, so they are less cumbersome than a traditional laptop bag. They are designed for netbooks with up to 10 inch screen size. What I love about Skooba bags is all their organizational pockets.

The Skooba Netbook Messenger Bag has 20 pockets and compartments, including the padded sleeve for the netbook, a mesh pouch for your power adapter, a pocket for your digital camera, and much more. There's even a place for your water bottle.

Priced at $49.95, these bags are both cute and durable. Created from water-repellent nylon, they are available in four colors -- black, white, red and blue. Visit the Skooba Design website to find more information. Do you have a netbook? I'm still using a somewhat bulky Sony VAIO laptop but think I might pick up a netbook soon.
