It's Convention Season, So Consider Treating Yourself to a New Messenger Bag


Don't kill the messenger. Bag. I don't know. Look... it's Friday.

If you buy something through this post, IGN may get a share of the sale. For more, read our Terms of Use.

We're only a few days away from PAX East and the Game Developer's Conference is winding down right now. As the weather gets nicer, more and more conventions arise from their winter slumbers to welcome thousands of excited fans. E3 and San Diego Comic-Con are still a few months away, but it's never too early to start planning. If you're a grizzled convention veteran or a greenhorn, you need a good bag to store your needs when you're out on the floor. These bags are great for everyday use, too, especially considering how much room they magically have.

Bag of Holding: Con-Survival Edition This is a very cool, extremely portable bag that's like the bag you use for away missions, returning with a cache of goodness to drop off at your bigger, mothership bags. It has a pocket to hold a tablet with quick access and the front is designed to be covered in pins, which I'm all in favor of.

Messenger Bag of Holding I have the original Bag of Holding from ThinkGeek and I love it. I've had it for years and years and it's now the bag I use when I take a trip lasting a couple days. It holds so much, it's wild. Over the years, ThinkGeek listened to suggestions from Bag of Holding fans and improved on it for this version. That means I pretty much have to get this now.

Convertible Fast Travel Bag of Holding Sometimes you want a messenger bag. Sometimes you want a backpack. Get you a bag that can do both, like this one. It has tons of room, too, and also, as is the case with all Bags of Holding, if you go to a con and ThinkGeek is there, show off your bag and they'll give you a special con-specific pin.

Backpack of Holding If you prefer the balanced weight of a double-strapped bag, but also want a transdimensional amount of room inside, ThinkGeek makes a dedicated bag for that, too. This one holds up to a 17-inch laptop, which tend to get a little heavy, so sharing the weight across two straps is just good for your back.

Cyberpunk 17 Messenger Bag This messenger bag looks awesome, has tons of space, and the kanji lights up. Yes, it's illuminated, just like the back alleys of every dystopian cyberpunk future. The kanji says "The Lowest," which is fun.

--------------------

jvsl_cyberpunk_worst
Cyberpunk 17 Backpack Once again, if you prefer a backpack, ThinkGeek's got you covered. This one also lights up, it also has three different lighting settings, and it also looks super cool and has self-deprecating kanji on it. This one says "The Worst." It's on sale right now, too, for $20 and whoops, I just ordered one. I really am the worst.

kmmh_doctor_who_tardis_messengerj
Dr. Who Tardis Crossbody Messenger Bag I'm not a Dr. Who fan, even though I'm sure I'd really enjoy the program. I just don't want to have to call myself a "Whovian." That's the worst word. To the uninitiated, this bag makes you look like you're really into the London police department, but to members of your fandom, you'll get those knowing nods of approval.

--------------------

jrrg_poke_pikachu_face_bagf
Pikachu Crossbody Bag Pika. Pika pika. Yes, this is about as adorable a bag as you'll find, especially if you're into Pokemon. ThinkGeek says this is more of a handbag than a messenger bag, but they can't tell you how to live your life. This can be whatever bag you want it to be.

--------------------

Shieka
Sheikah Slate Messenger Bag I love the Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild aesthetic, which is based on the art of the prehistoric inhabitants of Japan known as the Jomon people. This simple bag looks awesome regardless of source material.

--------------------

SwitchBag
Everywhere Messenger Bag for Nintendo Switch This is a highly-specialized bag with one purpose: bringing everything your Switch needs with you anywhere. There's a place for the dock, charger, the console itself, Joycon grips, and more. Let's face it, playing portable is fun but playing on TV is better, so why not bring it all with you?

--------------------

Gootiume
Gootium Vintage Messenger Bag This highly-rated messenger bag is pretty understated, with a nice retro aesthetic that makes it work with whatever you wear to work. Not quite large enough for a laptop, if you want something to haul around a ton of stuff and a tablet, this is a great choice.

--------------------

A1eD5YP4W+L._SL1500_d
Mobile Edge 17.3-inch Laptop Bag This is an Amazon Choice item for laptop bags and has 4.4 stars with over 1,600 reviews. There's just so much room inside a 17-inch laptop bag that you can basically use this for luggage and still fit your computer inside.

--------------------

Totorol
My Neighbor Totoro Shoulder Bag Let your geek flag fly with this Studio Ghibly messenger bag. Who doesn't love My Neighbor Totoro? I'll tell you who: Saddam Hussein. Thankfully, he's gone now. Good riddance, I say.

--------------------

Leapersk
Leaper Crossbody Messenger Bag This is another extremely well rated messenger bag for sale on Amazon. This is one of those cool crossbody ones you see people wearing while riding their bikes places. I bet they have really exciting lives.

--------------------

Geronic
Gearonic Men's Satchel 15-inch Laptop Bag 'Satchel' is a fun word to use to describe a bag, and this one self-describes itself as such, so it must be good. With 4.3 stars and 501 customer reviews, it certainly has the support of customers on Amazon.

KomalC Retro Buffalo Hunter Messenger Bag It's not legal to hunt buffalo anymore, so all these buffalo hunter bags are being repurposed as messenger bags, and that's great. The American bison was almost wiped out entirely, and now it's doing pretty well, and you will be too with this highly-rated messenger bag.

Seth Macy seriously just ordered that Cyberpunk 17 backpack. Follow him on Twitter @sethmacy.
