  • Wonder if there is going to be a super sick deal during the october big amazon sale event.

    Got this and the tomtoc eshay edc sling on my watchlist! Two of ozbargains new favourites.

      Got this and the tomtoc eshay satchel on my watchlist! Two of ozbargains new favourites.

      Can confirm, I own both and use them regularly…

      • i am torn between the white and black colourways for the sling… the white one I feel will get dirty within minutes let alone weeks.. but the black is so..plain

          You must be rich. These are only 1c per bag.

      Not sure why you have been down voted, I have several from Aliexpress, they have been great, and were definitely cheaper.

      • +3

        For sure because it's a completely different product. Can be great, but too different from the popular item in this deal.

  • +9

    The cheaper alternative from Aliexpress I posted last night is back in stock

    • Got 2 thanks

    Can you really fit an entire Switch into one of these?

  • Any good deal on a handbag for this?

    • +3

      Just hot glue some straps to it.

  • +3

    I can't understand why this is so popular. I bought a large and the cable holder sections are so tight you really can't put a laptop power cable in them. Needs to be loosely left somewhere else in the case. Well made and good quality, but the design isn't all that's cracked up to be IMO, so I sent mine back under the 30 day return policy.

    YMMV of course.

    • +3

      Frankly the whole concept of these elaborate organiser bags confuses me- I just toss all the spare cables and chargers into a single compartment bag or stuff sack and let it compress down to its most efficient size and shape rather than stay a giant box. None of this stuff needs protection or careful organisation.

      But if it'll serve as a Nintendo Switch case (and someone linked a review which shows that it does), it might be good for the kids.

      • +7

        Its nice to have some layers between my scratchables and the metal things like ac adapter prongs and charging cable tips.

      • Yeah it is really way over the top from a design perspective. While the design itself is somewhat intriguing, it's not in any way functional for my use. The compartments are simply too small for the typical "work day" collection of power cables, power adaptors and the like.

      • +1

        Forces me to put each cable into it's own individual pouch/strap. My old Crumpler All and Sundry (one big pouch) let me just throw them in hickeldy pickeldy and end up with cable spaghetti tangles. It's also nice to have a pouch/pocket for little things (travel router, SSD Drive enclosure etc) to keep it neater and to be able to find (again compared to swimming in a single big pouch).

        • Thanks for the perspective.

          Personally, I have no problems with USB/charger cables tangling. It's only long 220V power cords and long ethernet cables that turn into a mess for me, and those are too big to be packed into one of these things anyway. Or laptop power bricks, but they come with their own velcro ties and again are probably too big to pack into one of these.

          I literally use a 20 year old nylon stuff sack. Looks terribly ghetto, but works for me.

          • +1

            @rumblytangara: A couple of 2M USB-C-USB-C cables, a couple of USB-A to USB-C and USB-A to USB-Micro, couple of short, flat UTP cables, set of Samsung wired headphones, lanyard on my Olight i3e…all tangled together into a complete mess. Yeah could probably roll them properly or put on some velcro ties before putting them in the pouch but… :P

            And the things like my spare M557 mouse, travel router, SSD drive enclosure are all in seperate protective pockets.

      • I generally put a pouch on my desk. Cables are never tangled and it is convenient.

        Also, as already mentioned it provides some level of protection for metal/scratchable items.

        Larger or rarely used items are inside a separate pouch or organizer within the bag.

        I did buy one of these but found it too large. I ended up staying with two smaller pouches.

      • I have several bags I use for different things but a set lot of things I like for EDC so this lets me move those things from one bag to another easily without having to repack each time.

  • Delicate and Durable: The exterior of the handle bag is made of 1200D polyester to prevent splashes

    Wow! So it's like a forcefield?

  • I have been eyeing this bag from Alpaka but I cant justify the price: https://alpakagear.com/collections/bestsellers/products/elem… is there anything similar with a better price tag?

    • -1

      Same here! Alpaka seriously need to put their heads out of their a** and make their pricing realistic. I mean, you can buy a checked suitcase for that price. Hoping for a BF discount and then I'll pull the trigger, but their pricing structure in general is absolutely bonkers.

      • +1

        I think you underestimate the time and costs involved in creating and prototyping a new design for a low-volume item.

        A cheap generic suitcase can can be mass-produced cheaply, especially when the design is basic. Smaller things like that Alpaka case take more time to produce. It might take them a few iterations to get right, all that adds up. Providing a lifetime warranty costs money too.

        I think LTT made a video on their backpack and/or screwdriver explaining how much effort goes into producing products like that. It's worth a watch.

        • +2

          I think you underestimate the time and costs involved in creating and prototyping a new design for a low-volume item.

          This simply a luxury pricing strategy designed to make the product look 'even better' than it it is.

          These bags are made in Shezhen, which means extremely low cost labour and easy access to production materials in one of the two most effective production clusters in the world.

          I have something comparable but in different product class- adventure racing bags made using very similar materials (racing sailcloth, waterproof zips, more materials, more complex design and construction). But these are handmade in the USA by a single enthusiast craftsman, i.e. a totally different cost structure and production process, and they cost in the same ballpark as these. A bit more given the recent dollar shifts, but it's in the ballpark and these adventure racing packs are a lot more substantial and refined. Hell, my adventure racing bags have been in use a decade, were cheaper than the Apaka packs, and are still holding up well.

          The Alpaka stuff, some of it looks good. But it's a high margin luxury pricing strategy placing it into some recently fashional 'EDC' market, but it's built off a product in a mass production environment. It's not expensive (just) because of design and iteration, it's expensive to put it in the same segment as a bunch of other small volume, luxury urban bag brands. As soon as its produced in Shezhen, the iteration and design costs drop right down.

          Edit: I just looked them up… the US handmade adventure racing bags are cheaper than the backpacks from Alpaka.

            There's a lot more to producing something than just the manufacturing costs.

              No shit. Who'd have thought.

              But did you actually read and understand any of the rest of what I wrote?

              FWIW, I have a good friend who owns a company that manufactures in that production cluster. Design, prototyping, iteration, production. So I have a reasonable idea how it works, and am glad to have nothing to do with it Chinese manufacturing (it's a huge PITA).

                Yes, and none of it addresses the topic.

                A single-enthusiast low-volume operation has far lower running costs than a Melbourne-based company with salaries to pay, an office to run, higher-cost factories to pay for (they claim their factory workers are paid 40% higher than the Shenzen market equivalent in addition to healthcare and insurance, and free accomodation and food), and so on. Costs go up once you start involving more people.

                Manufacturing a product in China doesn't magically make all the other costs go down. The Melbourne staff still expect to be paid in AUD not Yuan. The office still costs AUD to run.

                FWIW, I have a good friend who owns a company that manufactures in that production cluster. Design, prototyping, iteration, production. So I have a reasonable idea how it works, and am glad to have nothing to do with it Chinese manufacturing (it's a huge PITA).

                Right, so Chinese manufacturing isn't as straightforward as it seems. But I'm sure if the benefits (i.e. profit) is high enough, it's worth the hassle. That would help explain the price of things like that bag.

                They are no doubt aiming for the higher end, just like the other players in the market like Peak Design. But for them to survive they have to actually make a product that's worth the cost; in this case I imagine it would be good materials, good design, and what looks like a good warranty.

                The fact that people here are interested in a relatively unknown brand means they succeeded at differentiating themselves.

                FWIW I don't own any of their products and don't have any interest in anything they offer, but after buying a whole heap of other bags over the years I can see the difference between a cheap generic bag and something from one of these higher-end manufacturers like PD and Crumpler. Sometimes a cheapie is totally fine, sometimes I prefer something more well-designed and built with a good warranty and don't mind paying for it.

                  Yeah, I had a look at the company that makes those bags… the running costs look like they are going into supporting a load of hipster marketing and lifestyle signalling like this: https://alpakagear.com/blogs/news/top-10-street-art-laneways…

                  I would personally be dubious about many of those claims regarding Chinese labour benefits- there is no way that a niche hipster brand can afford to run an entire factory. They are buying production time from someone else. Last time I checked (and this was a couple years back) labour was crazily tight and factories were having trouble sourcing workers so having to pay well above the odds. And yeah, dormitory accommodation is totally normal for the Donguan area. I also happen to know someone who pretty much wrote the groundbreaking book on labour and factory conditions in the Chinese industrial centres, with a focus on Donguan, so I can spot spin when I see it.

                  I have PD bags and equipment, I can see that it's got some good manufacturing and design elements to it. I don't think much of Crumpler. But AUD130 organisational bags… that's just selling hipster lifestyle. I didn't even know that the hipster market still existed here until going to that website.

                  As a contrast, this is the US-made stuff that I was thinking of: http://www.wingnutgear.com/ It's probably not just a single guy anymore making stuff in his spare time, as production and availability has ramped up. But it uses extremely high quality materials, has been designed and evolved for well over a decade. It's different because it's not urban hipster and full of USB cable pockets, but I think that it shows a very different approach to value as it subtracts all the marketing and hype, and it's not priced high as a signal of status, which is definitely an element of fancier 'EDC' gear.

                    They need to spend more. I can't remember seeing any Alpaka ads when I was researching PD bags. :)

                    They also have a US shipping distributor which is another thing to add to their running costs. Linus of LTT mentioned in a WAN show ep that they don't use overseas distribution centres because the cost of using them is really high which would drive up the cost of the products for people in that region, although it would be easier on their own logistics dept. I don't think Alpaka have their own logistics dept so they have to pay a company to handle it all. It all adds up.

                    I would personally be dubious about many of those claims regarding Chinese labour benefits- there is no way that a niche hipster brand can afford to run an entire factory.

                    Yeah they call them their manufacturing partner; it's not a factory they own. I should have worded it better earlier.

                    I also happen to know someone who pretty much wrote the groundbreaking book on labour and factory conditions in the Chinese industrial centres, with a focus on Donguan, so I can spot spin when I see it.

                    Years ago I had a friend who wanted to visit Israel with another friend who was Israeli. This was the mid to late 2000s around the time of the Palestinian uprising, Hamas was elected, and Israel was attacking Gaza.

                    My friend's parents tried to discourage her saying it's really dangerous, haven't you read the news?

                    She went anyway and had a great time and never felt unsafe.

                    The point is, what you read can be different to reality. There absolutely were dangerous places in Israel, but it didn't mean the whole of Israel was on fire.

                    There are no doubt sweatshop-like factories in China, but it doesn't mean there are zero factories in China with reasonable working conditions. I have no idea what Alpaka's partner factory is like, I'm just saying it's not impossible for them to be telling the truth.

                    The media typically only reports on interesting things. Factories with poor working conditions are worth reporting on as it brings in clicks which brings in revenue (or sells books). Writing a report or book saying "We visited the 30% of factories with reasonable working conditions. Staff were happy." isn't very interesting so you don't usually read about it. It doesn't mean they don't exist though.

                    As a contrast, this is the US-made stuff that I was thinking of: http://www.wingnutgear.com/

                    Ahh… looking at some of those designs, I must say there's a good reason why there are lots of people who don't mind paying more for something that looks like was designed by an actual designer. ;)

                    • @eug: Yeah, those adventure racing packs look pretty weird. But they are highly specialist pieces of kit that have to perform very well under difficult conditions, and I am sure that a lot more design went into them than generic EDC packs. I've bought several over the years, and there's no way I'd ever wear one around the city. The main thing of note is that they seem to use very similar materials, use US manufacturing, and still manage to be cheaper.

                      I guess that's what happens when you're not paying the hipster premium. Some of this gear is EDC really nice- the PD stuff is well made, I'm thinking of buying an Evergoods bag. But I am not kidding myself that I am somehow not paying a huge chunk for lifestyle marketing- it's not all "super advanced R&D and prototyping"

      • Am I not seeing this correctly? It's only $25

    • That’s one sexy looking bag but damn that price I would buy for $60

    • I have the Alpaka Elements and have been using it on currently on a work trip as my EDC / sling bag, it's great so far (I have it with the Fidlock strap). I think you can probably find a 10 or 15% off code via YouTubers (check Maurice Moves - that's where I got mine from originally).

  • Bought this awhile ago, very good quality compared to PD in terms of the price difference. Would get another one for the partner too

    Looks like an interesting purse, but I'm not sure I need it.

  • We have 2. I like them. Probably more travel for us in the past than in future so I can't see us moving them all that often - but we have them aside and open permanently in the lounge room. What was once like an episode of Hoarders is more like Pimp My Crib with access to every cable we can need, any adaptor, powerbank. I find my family happily charge what they must so it always feels powerbanks are good to go, and the Inateck Electronics Organizer can take responsibility for that. Thanks!

      Thanks! Inateck Electronics Organizer!

      Is your cheque in the mail already? :)

      • 🙂 started off fine but I got more bored as I wound up so needed to inject something into the paragraph to lift me to a new plain. I went with infomercial. For real though, it's very decent. Quality is probably the best thing and the amount of individual places for cables etc.

    I have this. I carry it to office every day very handy and very easy to keep my cables, and small tech accessories organised on the go. Highly recommend but only had it for a month now. So can't say much about durability yet

    I only stumbled on the deal after it had been marked as expired, but the offer still appeared valid. I added the 20% discount & the purchase went through @ $31.99.
    Cheers for the post OP as this has been on my watchlist for a while.

      Yeah same for me, the deal is still up. Might be just with prime?

    Finally something for my BUJO, IEMs, DAP, Miyoo mini+, Point and shoot camera, fountain pens, power bank and any other extranious hobbies I might pick up from ozbargain or reddit. Might even build a custom mechanical keyboard just for this case joke.

    ??? I definitely don't need this but I still want it. What's wrong with me??

  • +2

    I now have both the Inateck and Aliexpress Mark Ryden and they are very different. The Inateck has a much more rigid structure ( Inateck came in a box while the Mark Ryden was flatpacked in an envelope), has a larger capacity, has a lot more padding for the pouches and more pouches and straps. The advantage I see to the MR ones is that it's lighter unloaded and also will weigh less as you can't load as much into it. The grey lining in the Inateck makes things much easier to see. Overall I think the Inateck represents a better product for my mobile gadget needs despite the price difference. MR might become my travel wet pack or headphone softcase or similar…

    Ordered Wednesday evening, 6:00 pm. Arrived Thursday afternoon, 12:12 pm.

    Cost $31.99. Item exactly as described in ad. Seems solid and durable. Like the fold-open, lay-flat feature.

    Nice catch, OP.
