Fed-Ex Laptop Bag  E-mail

Really, why should I spend tons of money on a laptop bag that has likely been shipped from china, when I could create a low-impact, high-strength, water-proof laptop bag out of shipping materials already arriving on my front doorstep?

Instructables has an awesome tutorial on how to turn three laptop bags a little bit of felt into an awesome, camouflaged, protective case for your laptop. You will, however, need a sewing machine...or just lots of time to sew by hand. So the project is a bit out of reach for me. But I'd almost pay for one of these things. It looks surprisingly cool. Just don't get it confused with the rest of your shipping.

We all applaud the idea behind it but I don't think anyone would actually use it.. It's really quite ugly. :-
