Find the Best Bags and Cases For Your iPad Pro or iPad Air

MacCase makes a broad range of specially-designed iPad bags and iPad cases. We have been doing so since Steve Jobs introduced the first Apple tablet back in 2010.

What Does an iPad Pro Crossbody Bag Hold?

What you can hold in your iPad Pro cross-body bag depends on the overall size of the bag and how many extra pockets and compartments the design has. At a minimum, the bag should hold your Apple tablet and a few accessories or personal items.

An iPad cross body bag is a versatile accessory that can hold a variety of items, making it a convenient choice for different user groups and their unique needs. Here are examples of what an iPad cross body bag can hold and how various users might utilize it:

1. Professionals:

The primary item in their iPad leather bag is, of course, the Apple tablet. Professionals may use it for meetings, presentations, or to stay productive while on the go.

Additional items they might want to carry are the charger and cable to ensure the tablet remains charged and ready for use. A notebook and a pen for jotting down notes, sketches, or ideas during meetings or conferences may be on the list but the tablet has somewhat replaced the need for these items.

2. Students:

Once again the bag needs to hold and protect your Apple tablet, the central item for taking notes, accessing textbooks, or completing assignments. If textbooks, notebooks, pens or highlighters are on the list, look for a style that is larger than an iPad crossbody bag.

An iPad Pro 13 messenger bag would be an excellent choice. This larger form factor would also leave room for snacks and a water bottle which might be good to have along to stay energized and hydrated during long study sessions.

An iPad Travel Bag

3. Travelers

The iPad Pro would be front and center providing entertainment during flights, access to travel apps, or for staying connected while on the road. A place for travel documents like a passport, boarding passes, travel itinerary and hotel reservations is good to have.

Having an iPad leather bag that can also double as a travel wallet would be important to this user. A dedicated wallet with compartments for currency, credit cards, and travel-specific documents would be nice. A place for chargers and adapters to keep devices charged while traveling would be handy as well.

4. Creatives and Artists

For this group, the canvas for digital art or design work is the tablet, along with an Apple Pencil, so having a place for the Pencil is a priority. A pocket for printouts, photographs, or other references related to their creative projects is convenient. Space for personal essentials such as keys, phone, and wallet round out this iPad bag.

5. Everyday Use

Lastly, for everyday use, an iPad crossbody bag can hold the tablet for checking emails, browsing, or reading e-books on the go. A place or case for a smartphone everyday communication is a nice option. Having quick access to essentials like keys while running errands is handy. A place for sunglasses is also welcome.

In summary, an iPad Pro crossbody bag is a versatile accessory that can adapt to the specific needs of different user groups. Whether it's professionals, students, travelers, creatives, outdoor enthusiasts, or everyday users, these bags provide convenient and organized storage for essential items while keeping the Apple tablet secure and easily accessible.

Designing iPad Leather Bags

This is the latest in a series of interviews about the story behind the design of MacCase products. For this interview, we are again speaking to MacCase President and Chief Creative Officer Michael Santoro about the company's iPad leather bags.

JKD: Can you give us some insight into how you design the iPad leather bags for MacCase?

MS: For MacCase, building iPad leather bags is not just something we do or some other surface-level idea. First and foremost, we start with visionary design. We make sure the design will make a statement. We make sure it's original. We make sure it's a MacCase.

Then we add our world-class, ethically sourced leather hides, sourced from the Himalayan highlands. Sew them together with the passionate hands of a third-generation leather craftsman. We obsess over the quality and deliver on the promise of that original concept sketch with an iPad Pro bag that improves the customer's life.

Men's Leather iPad Bag

JKD: You say that you strive for gender-neutral designs. Do you feel that certain models lend themselves to be called men's leather iPad bags while others are more of an iPad purse or a lady's iPad bag?

MS: We have a broad range of customers who use our products. This broad range of situations calls for a multitude of what designers call "form factors" or styles. Not every bag is going to be right for every person in every situation.

This allows us the chance to offer many styles. Hopefully one of those styles will find a home with men and others with women. My goal of making the products gender-neutral has been successful.

It's impossible to refer to one style as a men's leather iPad bag, or an iPad purse. We never do that in-house. We never even think about it. Let's take our new 13 iPad Air carry case with shoulder strap. It sells equally well to men and women. I believe because it checks a lot of boxes for a lot of people, regardless of gender.

Should Men Use Crossbody Bags?

It's perfectly fine for men to use a crossbody bag. The models come in a wide range of styles and colors and a man can easily find one to meet both his functional and aesthetic needs.

Is a Leather iPad Briefcase Worth It?

A leather iPad briefcase can be an excellent way to transport and protect your Apple tablet. These kinds of cases are often padded and can carry other items besides your iPad. A leather case will be durable and an excellent value.

What to Look for in an iPad Shoulder Bag

Buying a quality iPad shoulder bag will ensure your investment in Apple's latest tablet will be protected. When reviewing your options for a bag for carrying your iPad, think about the following:

• How will I be using my Apple tablet?

• What environments will it need protection from?

• Who is making this case?

• How long have they been around?

• What are the reviews for the model I'm interested in?

• What materials represent quality to me?

• Do I want a bag quickly slapped together on a speed line or hand-made with care and precision?

• How do I interact with this bag?

• What are my "must-have" features?

• Do I need a secure place for the Apple Pencil?

Think about the features you'd like and how well they are integrated into the design of the iPad shoulder bag you are considering. Just because a design claims to have a "pencil holder" doesn't necessarily mean it's well designed or integrated into the design with any real thought.

Elevate your tablet transport with a bag that reflects your style and meets your demands, making every journey with your iPad a delightful one.

Is an 13 iPad Carrying Case Worth it?

The advent of sleek and portable computers, such as the iPad Pro and iPad Air have revolutionized the way we work, create, and stay connected. To complement the elegance of these tablets and enhance user convenience, iPad carrying cases have evolved, with a particular emphasis on style and functionality.

Among the myriad choices, cases featuring a handle and a shoulder strap stand out, offering a unique blend of aesthetics and practicality. Let's delve into the benefits of using a 13 iPad carrying case with these distinctive features, allowing users not only to carry their devices but to wear them with flair.

Versatility in Carrying Options

13 iPad carrying cases with handles and shoulder straps provide users with versatile carrying options. The inclusion of a handle allows for a comfortable handheld grip, ideal for quick and easy movements.

On the other hand, the addition of a shoulder strap transforms the case into a wearable accessory, freeing up the user's hands for other tasks. This adaptability is particularly advantageous for individuals on the move, offering flexibility in how they choose to carry or wear their iPad Pro or iPad Air.

Effortless Portability

The integration of a handle and a shoulder strap to a 13 iPad carrying case simplifies the process of transporting your tablet. The handle provides a secure grip for short distances or when moving within confined spaces, while the shoulder strap offers hands-free portability, allowing users to wear the case comfortably across their body. This level of ease and convenience becomes especially valuable for professionals, students, or creatives who frequently transition between locations.

Style and Aesthetics

Beyond practicality, iPad Pro carrying cases with handles and shoulder straps are designed with a keen eye on style. These cases often feature sleek and modern designs, elevating the overall aesthetic appeal. For a large tablet that can be cumbersome to transport, a 13 iPad carrying case can be indispensable. 

The integration of a handle and a shoulder strap is not merely functional; it becomes an integral part of the case's design, contributing to a polished and sophisticated look. Users can express their personal style while ensuring their Apple tablet is securely and fashionably adorned.

Enhanced Security

The inclusion of a handle and a shoulder strap enhances the security of your iPad carrying case. The handle provides a firm grip, minimizing the risk of accidental drops. Meanwhile, the shoulder strap allows users to keep their device close and secure, reducing the likelihood of theft or loss. This added layer of security is particularly valuable in crowded or bustling environments where devices may be more susceptible to accidents.

Professionalism in Business Settings

For professionals who use the Apple tablet in business settings, a 13 iPad Pro carrying case with a handle and a shoulder strap exudes a sense of professionalism especially if it's an iPad Pro leather bag. 

The ability to wear the case as a shoulder bag or carry it effortlessly with a handle adds a touch of sophistication, making it an ideal accessory for meetings, presentations, or networking events. This blend of functionality and style makes a lasting impression in professional environments.

Comfortable Ergonomics

Carrying cases with handles and shoulder straps prioritize ergonomic design, ensuring that users can carry or wear their iPad comfortably for extended periods. The weight distribution achieved through a shoulder strap reduces strain on the user's arms and hands, making it an ergonomic choice for individuals who have to carry their devices throughout the day.

In the realm of Apple tablet accessories, 13 iPad carrying cases with handles and shoulder straps redefine the concept of portability. The seamless integration of functionality, style, and convenience makes these cases a compelling choice for users who prioritize both practicality and aesthetics.

Whether on the move in a professional setting, a student navigating campus, or a creative professional working in dynamic environments, the benefits of wearing an iPad Pro carrying case with a handle and shoulder strap become evident.

The Best Bag for 13 iPad Pro with Magic Keyboard

For many Apple tablet owners, using the Magic Keyboard is part of their tool set. While the Magic Keyboard is easy to install and uninstall, most users leave the keyboard connected to the tablet. This presents a problem when needing to protect both the keyboard and the tablet during transport or storage.

There are a lot of cases and bags of various types that will protect the 13 Apple tablets. Very few iPad Pro bags are custom designed to protect the tablet and the Magic Keyboard. MacCase has 2 options that do.

Meet our Magic Keyboard Sleeve and iPad Briefcase. Both are fully compatible with Apple's Magic Keyboard. The sleeve is designed to protect the tablet/ keyboard when not in use or during transport in a large bag.

The iPad Pro Briefcase is designed to elegantly transport and protect your tablet/ keyboard combo with space for other items. It can be carried by its' handle or worn as a shoulder bag. Many users have called it the best bag for the 13 iPad Air with the Magic Keyboard.

Whether you choose the simplicity of the sleeve or the more robust features set of the Briefcase, both models provide a cutting-edge way to protect and transport the 13-inch iPad Pro and Magic Keyboard.

Offering the Best 13 iPad Pro Cases

MacCase has built its 25+ year reputation for building the world's best Apple protection products on hard work, insane levels of quality and innovative designs. For Apple tablet owners, this means MacCase offers some of the best 13 iPad Pro cases available.

This spirit of innovation and quality is instilled in 2 of our most popular models, our nylon iPad Pro 13-inch Messenger Bag and our Premium Leather iPad Messenger Bag.

While they are quite different in their execution, the core principals of MacCase design can be found in each one. Both are highly protective through the inclusion of a custom 13-inch or 11-inch sleeve. Your tablet goes in the sleeve, the sleeve goes in the bag and you're good to go.

Moreover, the sleeve and bag can be used together or separately. This creates a wonderfully versatile bag that you can use everyday for a broad range of situations. This versatility is one reason our iPad Pro messenger bags are so popular.

Both designs offer storage beyond just protecting the tablet. Pockets and compartments abound with places for accessories and personal items. If you're looking for an iPad messenger bag, or any 13 iPad Air case or bag, each of our exciting models offer features, advantages and benefits that provide the best user and ownership experience.
