When it comes to camera cases, bulky bags just scream "tourist." Instead go for something sleek, subtle, and convenient. WaterField, founded by a longtime cyclist and former bike messenger, produces a variety of high-quality bags including a camera case made for specific camera models (their website has a list of the cameras they cover), so they fit snugly and don't waste any precious travel space. The plush neoprene protects your camera, and a carabineer (included) clips through a loop on the case, making it easy to attach to a belt strap or backpack. There's just enough room to slip a couple credit cards or some cash into the slim pocket beside the camera. The San Francisco-made bags come in checkered nylon or leather, both in an array of colors. And take our word for it: they look even better in person than on the website.

And for the iPod-obsessed, most bags geared toward your audio device offer just the exact opposite problem: they're too damn tiny to carry all your iPod accessories. Well, the inventive folks at WaterField have got you covered here, too. Their iPod Gear Pouch has padded compartments for each of your accessories, from cables to earphones and adapters, and comes in two sizes (3" by 8" or 5" by 10"), perfect to accommodate all levels of audio-accessory ownership. Each fold nicely into a stylish, soft nylon bag easily stowed in a backpack, bag, or briefcase.
