Looking for a bag

APH Products Monarch
1

When my colleague and I were at the training in Illinois, there were a couple folks that talked about bags/cases they got that worked really well and had sufficient space for cords, portable monitors, etc. I know a bag for a 15 inch laptop will work, but I’m looking for any links you all are willing to share to items that have worked well.
TIA!

Some folks like this bag for the Monarch. It fits the extras too. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BFQSZ7Z1/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1

APH is recommending the Transition Tote, however, I believe the bag Angela recommended is a better choice. If you are limited to quota spending, than the Transition Tote will accommodate the Monarch, screen and cords comfortably.

I purchased the same bag that was shown at that training and the KYY monitor. They both fit in the bag and I’m in love with it. I found it on Amazon. GOTECH Rolling Backpack.

I had this bag from some conference (?). It fits the Monarch perfectly (and the 15" monitor I use). I like the outside water bottle pocket for my cords. It has a shoulder strap as well as handles. I think these are kind of standard handouts at meetings/conferences if you can find one.

I have been using the shop blind bag. It fits the Monarch and the cord and also another laptop that I have to carry for another student. It only $18 dollars and supports a good cause as well.

For the Amazon linked bag: Can it hold a couple of braille books in there at the same time as the Monarch? How heavy is it?

Hi Elissa!

For this bag: Amazon.com: GOTECH Rolling Backpack, Waterproof Backpack with Wheels for Business Commuter, Carry on Backpack with Laptop Compartment, Fit 15.6/18 Inch Laptop, Wheeled Backpack for Adults (Black) : Electronics

With the Monarch and its cables, it weighs about 10 pounds. It is light and easy to carry around and fits nicely in an overhead compartment. You can put a couple of medium-sized braille books in the back pocket with the Monarch, especially if you place them in there long-side down.

This is the best one! I have not seen anyone use anything besides this AMAZING bag :slight_smile:
