I love surprises, so I was intrigued when my brother gave me a rather large box on Christmas Eve and told me I couldn't open it until Christmas morning. After opening my laptop (squee!), I was pleased to find that I would have something to keep it in. I got the case in Plum Petals. It has a pocket on the outside on each side, one has a zipper, one doesn't. It comes with a small, fabric-covered bar that Velcros to the felt inside. This can be used if the case it a bit too big for your laptop. It's meant to be used on the side, but I put mine on the top. My laptop is fairly wide. it also has handles on top, and there's a detachable shoulder strap.

The laptop case wasn't the only thing I got in Plum Petals. I also got a case for my Kindle. It's really really cute! I love the print on the little case. Now, it's not made for Kindles specifically so it is a bit big for my Kindle. It's just an 'e-reader' case, so it's probably made for Kindles, Nooks, Kobos. It comes with a little slot with a card in it where you can fill in your personal information. This way, if you lose your e-reader (and hopefully someone honest and kind-hearted finds it), it can be returned to you.

The last Vera piece I got was a tech case in Baroque. I use it for my iPod and it's just perfect. It has a little pocket inside for my headphones. It has a detachable wrist strap on it. So, if I just want to take my iPod and my phone somewhere, I can just slide my phone in my pocket and carry my iPod with the wrist strap.
