My wife loves her Surface RT, and I'm eager to get my hands on a Pro for myself.
While I wait for the release, I'm starting to pick up accessories that I'd like... a microSD card, for example.
I'd really like to get some kind of bag for my Surface. Since I'll be ditching the huge, oversized, heavy laptop I've been lugging around for the past few years, I'd also like to ditch the bulky briefcase/laptop bag in favor of something smaller, lighter, and more stylish.
My wife smirks and me and whispers something about a "man purse" under her breath when I raise the subject, so I'm not asking for her advice anymore. Instead, I thought I'd ask here. (Heck, I've been lurking and reading the posts for long enough...)
Any suggestions for a "messenger bag" style of case? Something sturdy and masculine, but not really a "backpack" or a "purse" or even a "briefcase." Ideally I'd carry my new Surface, a charger, a video connector, probably a book, a couple of pens, and my reading glasses. So I don't need anything too big. I'll lug it to the office, to classes that I teach, to the coffee shop when I wanna work a bit in a more casual environment, to meetings, etc.
I've been browsing on Amazon and such, and I see there are a bunch out there (especially for the iPad crowd, though I don't know if those will work/fit with the Surface). I kind of like some of the "military style" bags made out of durable canvas, but it seems like they're awfully big.
Any ideas?

Just kidding!
