Booq has been a longtime designer of stylish laptop and netbook bags. Most recently, they have entered the iPad accessory market with two newly announced accessories: The Taipan Shadow XS carrying case and the Taipan Sneak XS iPad sleeve. Both of these accessories feature booq’s unique professional styling and punk rock orange sexy designs.

The Taipan Shadow is a sleek messenger bag style carrying case for the iPad that blends a professional look with indie style. This bag features a secret pocket for your iPod/iPhone, plenty of interior storage space for not just your iPad but also any other accessories you might need to be carrying around like your bluetooth keyboard for pounding out your prose on the go! The lining is scratch resistant and a booq’s uniquely beautiful shade of orange (if you go with the black/orange model). One of the coolest features of this iPad messenger bag is that it has a comes with Booq’s Terralinq service which has an ID number that is linked to the owner in case your bag is lost or stolen. The Taipan Shadow iPad messenger bag is retailing for $69.95 new and comes in Black/Orange and Violet/White.

Booq is also releasing a sleeve for the iPad called the Taipan Sneak. It is a hand sown 3mm neoprene sleeve that offers decent protection for your iPad when it’s in your purse, backpack, or even inside your Taipan Shadow. Again with the soft interior lining that is that electric shade of orange, your iPad will rest in style. It has 2 sturdy “high-performance” zippers (whatever that means…), and don’t worry about it scratching since it has a cushioned jersey trim to keep your iPad zipper scratch free. All that and a 5 year warranty. The Booq Taipan Sneak iPad Sleeve retails for $24.95.
