I work in IT, and for the most part, am toting around an ipad, a couple file folders, maybe a digital camera, and various other things.

I would love a slingbag or something nice to throw over my shoulder that I could store my ipad, and a few other small things. I dont want a backpack, and I dont want it to stick out. Almost like a messenger bag or something like that. Simple, easy and useful. Any recommendations?

I like this one and I have almost bought it a few times:

It's just canvas (black, brown, or tan) and looks really nondescript. It's not waterproof though so if that matters then maybe you'd want to look elsewhere.

I have been looking at this messenger bag. Looks like it is made for an iPad.

At what point does it become a purse, I wonder.

I can be found occasionally toting the iPad in the small of my back - or draped over my ass, depending on your perspective - ( havenshop.ca/collections/acronym/products/gt-j19-g... ) Hey ma, no bag.

If that has a somewhat douchy flavour, Coteetciel has various bags for the typical Apple-addled brigade, both in the form of multipurpose ( www.coteetciel.com/vertical-tote-grey-melange-15.h... + others - look on site) and the iPad-specific purse you may have craved ( www.coteetciel.com/tablet-kit-bag-grey-melange.htm... ).

If you're more detailed in what you want, I can probably dig something up more specific.
Form factor, storage options, budget, your level of metro-ness, etc.

I've been particularly fond of Booq's line of bags. On the higher end of price but they have great durability.

I use the MEC Small Carry All Shoulder Bag. Has room to store iPad and other things. There's also 3 or 4 smaller compartments to store and organize you iPad power cord, phone, etc. Water-resistant. I have never had problems with water damage or related issues.

4: Try to be patient, tech questions can be complicated.
5: You are awesome for both reading this and answering questions.
