UPDATE - Sold out Online - But still stock available in store.

ACME Made Laptop Bags - $12/ $10 Including Shipping

Was at a Dick Smith store looking for a new slim laptop bag that was decent enough looking with a good feel and found the ACME Union bag for $60. Was about to buy it but instead went home and searched for it online.

Found that Binglee has them for $12 (larger size) or $10 with FREE shipping!
More details on the bag:

Union Square Brief (Width is larger) - $12

The Sleeve - $10

It's a great laptop bag that I was willing to pay the $60 for initially!

Enjoy :)

    nice find, bought one

  • cheepwun on 05/05/2013 - 10:58

    Seems like good value.
    What can you get for that sort of money in laptop storage? I'd argue not much.

    Will snag one, thanks!
    Edit: looks like it ran out of stock as I was about to check out!

  • up and atom on 05/05/2013 - 11:02

    Thanks!

    Grabbed a union square brief, seemed to look the best.

    My brief strap snapped the other day walking home from work and went crashing on the pavement (lucky I didn't have my laptop that day). I bought what looks to be an inferior design from Kmart for $29. I'm going to check this out and return the Kmart one.

    EDIT: Shit, sold out…
    EDIT2: They are still in-store at my 3 local locations. It's only sold out online.

    • cheepwun on 05/05/2013 - 11:16

      There were some decent ones in Aldi the other week; I bought one there for $25.

      They often have unsold stock selling beyond the sale week so you might get lucky there. Construction is very good on these.

        Thanks for the tip, we've gotta go to Aldi for a few items today anyway so I'll have a look!

    That deal's been around for months. Still a good deal though.

    • cheepwun on 05/05/2013 - 11:18

      Months. I wish I knew.

      • Click_It on 05/05/2013 - 11:21

        Months, would have been nice for someone to share on OzBargain earlier…

        • Falbium on 05/05/2013 - 11:26

          Would have just sold out then instead of now :)

  • Falbium on 05/05/2013 - 11:16

    These ones are still in stock for now, perhaps not as good but still great value:

    I managed to get one of these and a union square brief - I prefer the smaller sizes.

    ACME Made is a high quality brand, I have a Slim Cargo from them, it's very well built.

  • Click_It on 05/05/2013 - 11:22

    Guys, provided you have a store nearby…

    "Items in stock at 42 stores"

  • skullboy on 05/05/2013 - 11:28

    online out of stock now

  • Allan on 05/05/2013 - 14:15

    Called up. All sold out in NSW besides Tamworth with only a few in stock for those still wanting one. It's for the standard union brief.

    Awesome price for this laptop case if you got one.

  • ShootingStar3388 on 05/05/2013 - 16:49

    Thanks OP for posting.

    Grabbed one of the last few union square and the sleeve plus at Carlingford this arvo.

  • ihbh on 05/05/2013 - 18:52

    Excellent quality. Got the 4th last one at Chatswood.

  • Amaris on 05/05/2013 - 21:02

    Still a few Union Square and Sleeve Plus left at Campbelltown. First the woman at the counter said that the product was out of stock online and that she couldn't give it for the price. Later she relented.

    I bought my first and only Acme Made bag (The Slim) back in 2002, not long after they were founded. It's stil going great after much abuse 11 years later! :)

  • wtfnodeal on 05/05/2013 - 23:55

    Lucky you guys have bing lee stores near you. Our country calld Perth doesn't have Bing Lee and Aldi.

  • jasopan on 06/05/2013 - 01:01

    Wish there was a Bing Lee in Melbourne, I'd happily pay $30 for one. Hope everyone enjoys their new cases!

  • Ragerunner on 06/05/2013 - 08:28

    I bought one of each case before I posted this on Ozbargain.
    Now I wish I had bought more before it sold out (not that I needed it) lol.

  • f38r1 on 06/05/2013 - 09:09

    Shouldn't this expired already? All already out of stock

    • yiubun on 06/05/2013 - 09:40

      IF you read, it says
      "UPDATE - Sold out Online - But still stock available in store."

  • Click_It on 07/05/2013 - 18:59

    I got 2 yesterday from Tuggerah NSW. They had 3 so now have 1 left. The manager was a bit rude and clearly didn't want to sell them at $12 but hey, company policy pal, I didn't come for your opinion!

    Anyway, these are great quality, I'm very impressed for $12. To get better quality, you're looking at spending >$80. I saw some better ones at David Jones today priced from a mere $199-299. How are those guys still open for business I wonder.

  • seek on 10/05/2013 - 18:59

    order one online.

    But got a call today from Bing Lee saying that head office make a mistake. there was no stock left.

    But people posted that there are stocks in store.

    So I am confused.

    Also they said they will offer the targus CN31 (quite outdated looking) in exchange.

    Don't want the targus CN31

  • cheepwun on 11/05/2013 - 13:19

    I am happy with The Sleeve (delivered in the mail).
    It's a small size though.

    Oddly mine came with the 2 small side zips unzipped instead of zipped shut (?)

    Item otherwise appears new. A bit small compared to my $25 Aldi laptop bag, but that was expected, and it's fine otherwise. Label says "Fits up to Macbook Pro 15" and really drives home Mac / Apple angle.

    Shoulder strap is attached to the bag by plastic attachment (with metal only used on the spring-loaded opening to attach or detach the strap, but that isn't taking the weight of the bag). This is totally cheap compared to my Aldi bag (which was selling recently), which has full metail retainers on both ends and really solid build. Realistically though, it should be fine.

    For the price it's good and actually more substantial than the name 'sleeve' would suggest; they should consider a new name for it because whenever I think of sleeve I think of those lame cheap laptop sleeves. Bags like this is not designed to carry much to begin with but this is still decent and much better than a silly pocketless sleeve. I would prefer if it didn't have any external branding (I hate being a brand ambassador for any company), but you can't have it all. Unless you have the Aldi bag :)

    A smoking deal for $10 delivered, regardless. Too bad I was too late to get the other ones.
    All credit to the OP.

    • spychiatrist on 11/05/2013 - 23:29

      You're lucky. My order got cancelled, they wanted to offer a different bag. I said no. Bait and switch, this one smells.
