The HipSlip: It Makes My MacBook Happy (plus a giveaway for BlissDom attendees!)

by Dawn on January 17, 2010

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

[The contest is closed. Jessica at Muthering Heights is the winner!]

Remember when I showed you my amazingly cool lens bag, the Shootsac? There’s a hot new product that Shootsac has developed for carrying your laptop: the HipSlip.

What’s more, I get to give one away to a BlissDom ’10 attendee!

From the moment I saw the HipSlip, my bag seemed heavy, bulky, and just plain blah. Now that I own one, my MacBook and I are both happy. The bag is stylish, sleek, and a real eye-catcher. It makes me look much more organized and hip than I am.

Shhhh—don’t tell!

Check out this video for a full product description:

The HipSlip is made of wetsuit-grade neoprene, which protects your laptop without adding bulk and conforms to the shape of your body. There are separate compartments for the laptop and cords, as well as a special sleeve which will hold a MacBook Air. The hidden zipper compartment is a perfect secret spot for your phone and keys. Honestly, you have to really look for it.

Use it in solid black or with your choice of interchangeable, Velcro-attached covers, which also work with the ShootSac. The back of the cover is a soft ultrasuede, lint-free, microfiber—perfect for cleaning fingerprints and dust from your computer screen.

I love how each cover has its own individual page on the site and photo of it in action.

How do I win?

There are three criteria for entering the contest. Please pay close attention, because your entry will be invalid without all three:

You must be attending BlissDom ’10 in Nashville on February 4-6, 2010
Go to the ShootSac/HipSlip website and tell us your favorite cover (not necessarily the one you will receive if you win)
List the size of your laptop, 13″, 15″, or 17″
Find me at BlissDom and show off your HipSlip! (okay, so maybe that’s not an actual requirement)

That’s it! Help me spread the word and get additional entries by sharing on Twitter, Facebook, or blog post. Something like:

I was just thinking how much my laptop needs a pretty new bag! Love the HipSlip!

I love the one that you have (Baroque) and I love the Viceroy. So pretty!

I just got a cover for my laptop but It’s not very functional. A HipSlip would be perfect!

The blue stripped is slick.

I’ve got a 15 inch macbook. I like the viceroy cover.

I’ll be at Blissdom – can’t wait!

I’m really torn – I like both the Balanced print and the Brazen print. I think I’m leaning slightly towards Brazen, just because it’s edgy!

And I also have a 15″ laptop.

Thanks for this contest!

So cute!!! I love the Baroque. Yes – I’m going to Blissdom. I actually have a netbook so I’m only about 10″ … but better big than small, right?!?

And even if I don’t win, I’ll come find you at Blissdom!!

24 Jamie @ I Am A Money Magnet! January 18, 2010 at 6:22 pm

I’ll be at Blissdom!

My favorite HipSlip is the Baroque!

My laptop is 13.5, so the 15″ HipSlip would probably work best!

If I win I’ll do my best to track you down and show you my bag!

Thanks!!

I like the classic tranquil. I’m not sure on my laptop size, is that horrible? It measures 13 inches wide.

33 Kimberly @ Raising Olives January 20, 2010 at 3:04 pm: Thanks Dawn. My computer is 16″ across. :/ I realize that’s not one of the choices, but I measured with a measuring tape and did the math. It’s 16″. :)

It was so hard to choose my favorite. I narrowed it down to my 2 favorite, Effervescent and Classic Cowboy. If I have to choose one . . . Effervescent. They all look great! Thanks for the chance! My computer is 17 inches. I can’t wait to go to Blissdom. I am so excited! Hope to meet you there. Thanks for the chance!
