“Personal style has become an essential part of our lives at work, school or while on the road,” stated Bui Cuong, director of product management-soft goods at Targus. “The new Velos Messenger bags underscore Targus’ commitment to offering consumers attractive yet practical and durable choices in how they carry their laptop computers and accessories.”

The Velos Messengers are available in three color combinations – chocolate with a chocolate and aqua strap (TSM063US), charcoal with black and lime green strap (TSM06301US) and wheat with mushroom and orange strap (TSM06302US). Each case comes with two different colored straps, which run along the sides and wrap around the bottom of the case, allowing users to interchange the straps for a unique new look that can fit any style. The laptop compartment has dual cushioning with a neoprene sleeve to protect laptops with up to 15.4” screens. For added convenience, the bags have a removable shoulder strap pad and feature a back slip pocket for business documents, folders or magazines. The Velos bags also include an I.D. holder and multiple pockets to store accessories. The bags measure 14.3” x 11” x 1.7”.

Backed by a limited lifetime warranty, Targus’ Velos Messengers will be available May 2008 at an estimated street price of $69.99 at Targus.com as well as through leading retailers, e-tailers and computer manufacturers’ websites.
