    I recently bought a laptop case that I like but lacks severely in the internal storage compartment. Are there any popular options on internal storage compartments for power cords, cords, accessories etc? Thanks.

    It's holding up well. In fact, various rather improbable things have fallen onto it but it's still perfectly OK.

    As for internal storage, until they rectify this issue I'd suggest contacting a bagmaker - or indeed, SAB themselves - to make you storage. I'd suggest one of two options: Thinned, tough leather or vinyl (e.g. Clarino) over a carbon fibre (or plastic, if you're willing to take the risk) body if you want something rigid, or a soft pouch-style zipped bag. Anything else will add to the not inconsiderable weight of the Paternoster and just make life harder.

    Thanks for the reply. I ordered the Westminster Wrap case as well with pockets in the front compartment to accommodate accessories. However, I didn't think of asking SAB to make a smaller accessories bag. I'll try and see if they accommodate.

    Of course they'll accommodate... bespoke is a staple for SAB. The only reason I wouldn't put them first is the traditional construction they tend to stick to, which = weighty.

    They do have a carbon-skeleton'd attache in their lineup now and you could ask them to adopt this construction in a zipped mini-insert-case, but I'm not 100% sure if they make it inhouse or farm it out to someone else.
