So I got a Kindle for Xmas, and I love it. I take it with me just about everywhere- and it’s especially nice to have on the train to work. But the winter is ending soon, and I won’t be wearing my leather jackets with spacious interior pockets anymore… so what can I buy to wear when it’s warm, that will have space for my Kindle? My work dress code is business casual, by the way- I usually wear khakis and a collared shirt.

I take it you don’t carry a briefcase or a gym bag with you to work?

Would you consider a shoulder bag/messenger bag? [Manhattan Portage](http://www.manhattanportage.com/catalog/product_info.php/flatiron-messenger-bag-sm-p-436) is one of the manlier manbag makers, and they have a lot of different color/size/shape options.

Yeah, I don’t take a case or bag to work, and would prefer not to. I might consider it with no other options, though.

How about something from [these](http://www.scottevest.com/) guys? It’s clothing inteded for travel but with lots of well integrated pockets for carrying a variety of items.
